As I am expanding my GG INFINITE product lines to cover after market parts. I thought it would be beneficial to create a series of posts that would serve as a resource for eager gunplars. We are currently stocking up on various after market parts from brand such as HIO-Parts, Model-Up, G-Temple, Wave and Adlers Nest. These parts serves to enhance the visual quality of your model kits.
To my understanding, the demand for these parts in the US is not as high as say in Japan & other asian countries. I figure it is due to a few factors.
1) There are not many places in the states where folks can purchase them locally.
2) They can be quite expensive.
3) Most folks don't know what they need or how to implement them effectively.
GG INFINITE will definitely try to be a solution to resolving these factors. So if you have any inquiry about availability, pricing or just want to ask questions about them or how to use them. Please send your inquiries to us at: info@gginfinite.com and we will try to serve your needs as best as we can.
As for this introductory post, I would like to start by sharing with you my objective. I will be using a High Grade 1/144 scale RGM-79 Powered GM model kit to demonstrate the various techniques I often applied when building a customized kit; I will be covering the how-to technique & tools for:
a) Panel line scribingb) Appication of pla-plates
c) Application of after market parts
d) Painting w/ Airbrush
e) Detailing w/ paint brush
f) Panel Line Wash
g) Application of decals
h) Final top coat
So as you can tell, this series will last for awhile. But I am sure I will have great fun doing this, and I hope you would enjoy reading them. And I also encourage all the gunpla masters out there to chip in your valuable ideas & comments. I would enjoy learning from you too. =)
Looking forward to this series! My panel line scribing needs work (and guiding tape).
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I will definitely be following these posts with interest.
ReplyDeleteI think with Mechaskunk closing down at the end of the year it will be great that GG Infinite steps in to fill the void for option parts. From the POV of someone living a long way from the US it is expensive to buy option parts. They are quite expensive enough without adding international shipping. So in that regard I think it will be a good thing for NA to have GGI supplying detailing accessories. Adler's Nest stuff will be a great new line to make available.
Really looking forward to this and the store.

ReplyDeleteThis is really gonna be a great source for me to learn, is it gonna be an in depth step-by-step tutorial? Can't wait for it!
ReplyDeleteSo how do I know which part I want to query? I haven't had that kind of experience of modding before...
Great stuff GG! keep it up and goodluck with the store. :D
ReplyDeletelooking forward to this. i have the GM Powered as well (knee broke because paint melting the plastic.

I wanted them for my MG Infinite Justice. anyway have fun! good to see you modeling again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys for the support! Will definitely need to set aside time to continue this series. Hopefully it will not be to sparse in between.
ReplyDelete@GunGai: I will be sending you the Dymo Tape (which I had forgot to give u while I was in JP)
@Syful: I hope my future postings on this would help both of us to learn more about modding. =)
@DC23: Always nice to get support from a gunpla master like yourself.
@BB: For my 1/100 scale clear green beam saber, I also got the metal saber handle which has a tiny LED (I believe) that can light up the beam saber. I can't wait to try it out.
@Gundam Australia: Yeah I heard about MechaSkunk closing down later this year, and I do hope my store can pick up the mantle.
