How to create color plastic plates

Hello there Gunpla fans!! This entry is quite a short one but is equally interesting. I'll teach you to produce colored plastic plates from plastic bottles you see everyday.

I came across this bottle of "mountain dew" with a neon green plastic bottle. Instantly got an idea to use that and even a greater idea when I saw that the middle section of the bottle is cylindrically flat not like other plastic bottles. Tested it out and worked perfectly.

How to make tighter RG shoulders

Hello gunpla fans!!! Here I am with another quick fix to a small problem most RG owners encounter. Some RG kits have a problem holding its own weaponry due to some weight issue. In this case, RG Destiny and relatively other RG kits having the same inner frames as RG Destiny.





Specially with the RG Destiny, he usually can't hold the Arondight anti ship sword properly due the weight of the sword. Studying the problem, I found out that the problem occurs in the shoulder joint of the inner frame. With the large sword's weight, it can no longer support compared to the beam rifle and other small weapons.


So here's what we will do...

How to add hard points using Gunpla Battle Arms

Hello again gunpla fans! its been a while since my last post due to some real life situations, and this is still connected thethe old HG kits restoration series. These are the previous 3 entries here.

Using Bandai's HG Build Custom Gunpla Battle Arms,we'll be using some parts as hard points for alternate or options parts. This process is not limited to old HG kits but also applicable to the modern HG kits, if you want to add more options to your custom work.

How to shorten RG Zeta's beam rifle

It's time once again for another tip/tutorial for your Gunpla Kits.

This time around, we'll be tackling a simple modification for RG Zeta's beam rifle. A friend of mine asked about why my RG Zeta's beam rifle, when retracted, is shorter than it should be. I replied, I'll teach you how when I blog it. And that's what I'll show you in this entry.

A bit if background, before I got my RG Zeta, I first had a MG Zeta ver 2.0 and then an HGUC Zeta. And playing around with them made me realize that the retracted beam rifle of the RG should really be shorter compared to its OOTB(Out of the box) build.
Comparing scales and models, HGUC and MG kits stayed true to what it should be.

And now here's how we make RG Zeta's beam rifle true to as it should be.



Notice that the one on top is the modified beam rifle, and the lower one is the OOTB. OOTB beam rifle is a bit longer when retracted.
