Hyaku-Shiki done for real

I repainted the red parts now, (actually twice as i wasn't happy with the first red which was too bright). I'll make some more pics when the light is better.

Ovencleaner Spray

Stripping the acrylic color with the ovencleaner spray worked REALLY well. I put the parts in plastic box, sprayed a good amount of the cleaner foam inside, shook the box and let it rest for a few hours. After that i washed everything away with water and the parts were like new and unpainted. Excellent! I already sprayed some primer over the parts and will paint them red again tomorrow. Also i prepared the weapons with putty and primer for painting.

Video update and Hyaku-Shiki progress

I took apart the Hyakushiki to get all the red parts for repainting. That certainly is a pain in the ass trying to do so without scratching the color. Luckily the Alclad Gold color is very sturdy.

Also I encoded and uploaded a new Plamo Tsukurou episode and am encoding another one right now. Check the Gunpla Tutorial Videos for them.

Back from vacation

Ayo, back from vacation. I got some oven cleaner now, which I read can strip acrylic paint. I will try to strip the color from the red Hyaku-Shiki parts with it and repaint them.

Also I will start uploading the rest of the Plamo Tsukurou episodes soon. :)

Hyaku-Shiki finished.

well, more or less finished.


I plan on repainting the red parts, as the Clear Red is sticking really shitty to the Chrome Silver.
Also the guns aren't painted yet. Otherwise I am quite satisfied. :)

I updated the plamo tutorial videos as well with two new videos from season 2 of puramo tsukurou. (a German tank and a Ford GT40)

Hyaku-Shiki inner frame & more

Finished the inner frame with a mix of Gun Metal and Black. Also the metallic red parts, which i painted with Clear Red mixed with a bit of Red and Brown over Chrome Silver (all Tamiya acryl colors) to get a dark red metallic effect. Can't say the color is sticking too well to the chrome silver. Also painted the main body armor and the 'backpack' in Black mixed with Royal Blue.

I also started with the gold armor parts, gave them a black base coat and sprayed Alclad2 Gold color on them. It's important to spray it in THIN layers I found out.... and the surface you apply it to has to be smooth and clean, you will see everything afterwards. But the gold sure does look good.

Hyaku-Shiki Hasshin!!

I started building the Hyakushiki. As with the Qubeley I did a snapfit first, without paint or glue.
The yellow plastic parts feel a bit brittle compared to the other parts and the Qubeley plastic, but I didn't really have any problems. The kit felt a bit easier to build than the Qubeley and painting should be easier too. My plan for coloring is Gold (got Alclad 2 gold, which according to the internet ist the best gold paint ever graced the earth) for the golden armor, Gray/Gun Metal for the internal parts and flat Black for the torso (and not dark blue). The red parts I'll paint metallic red.


Oh and I ditched the Ballute System, no need for that.
