[maxtergundam]

you've really amaze me with what epoxy putty can do, Are you suppose to mix the epoxy with water when you're combining the 2 peices together?

[lhasarus]

Thanks!

Mixing it with water makes it too liquid-ish. I'm just using the water while shaping it because it prevents the tool from sticking to it.

dude what music is this?

[lhasarus]

They are from Mai Otome and Mai Hime. The full titles are stated in the video describtions under BGM (Back Ground Music).

x_< oh sh*t sorry for that,i didn't check the description haha

Wow. Again you amaze me... Brilliant mods and great music/presentation. I know this thing is going to look awesome when it's done. Well, sorry to get off topic, but I wanted to ask you what brand/model of camera/camcorder you used to film this. I've been meaning to replace mine due to poor video quality & the camera's inability to refocus or zoom while recording. Even sound quality is pretty bad. Thanks.

[lhasarus]

Thanks ^^

I'm using a Canon A590 IS digital camera. It takes good macro pictures with 8MP and records videos in 640x480 format. The sound isn't good (but I usually don't use the recorded sound anyway). Focusing while recording is also a problem (I counter that by stopping the recording and restarting it after refocusing and cut these segments later together). Zooming while recording is possible though. I spent 100€ ~ 140 usd for it at the end of '08.

[crapmunky99]

Aura Battler??I never heard of it

[lhasarus]

Dunbine s one of those (forgotten) 80s mecha animes. It was Sunrises anime prior to L-Gaim.

Aura Battler is the name of these organic mechas.

I LOOOVVVEEE ur vids, cause of cool modding and tips

[cabellism]

cool ill look into them, as soon as my internet quits being dodgy lol

[cabellism]

looks kinda cool, i might have t end up getting a kit or so lol

[lhasarus]

This bug-like design is really cool indeed. Try searching for the Zwarth. It looks some kind of bulkier and fiercer but is roughly 33% pricier.

Todvierres suffers from fragile parts which tend to brake and I suspect that other kits from that line suffer the same problems. If you are cautious enough it's a really nice kit.

[2Old4Toys]

Thanks for this. I'll be careful when I build mine. I have the big black Zwarth too in my unbuilt stash of kits.

5 stars

[lhasarus]

I suspect that it isn't a great issue if you don't assemble and de-assemble the kit as often as I do. For me its essential to recheck a modifications effect on the assembled kit. And that tends to stress the non-pc-joint to the breaking point.

Damn time consuming hobby I chose here....
