Is the MG Gouf 2.0 as good as the MG RX-78-2 2.0? I know they were released around the same time, and the RX 2.0 is so solid and well-made.

It's got an extremely solid core and great articulation. No balance problems at all and it comes with the HEAT SWORD. If you're interested in it just buy it.

Gaianotes 101 fluorescent blue with a smidge of green, it's 104 I think; semi-gloss single coat. Conversely if you are after metallic teal, I would try mr.color GX205 with GX204 and GX208 silver in a 3:1:1 ratio.

Counterpoint: Zeta 2.0. Miles better than Zeta 1.0, sure, but ahaha man the Zeta is not a toy-friendly design.

Zeta 2.0 is a lot better once you super glue the transformation joints solid.

Ka0 posted:Model air should be fine as it is but to be safe, I'd add some paint retarder. Vallejo sell their own brand but you can also try liquitex. If the paint dries on the way out the nozzle, there will be clogging. I toss in some thinner in between sprays just to make sure. I'll give some retarder a go, thanks! I'm still inclined to blame the needle more than the paint, but if water is fine and super watery paint isn't then the drying on the way out could definitely be a thing.

If you're painting with lacquers, mr hobby sell a "self leveling thinner", which is just basic lacquer thinner with a retarding agent on it. It's the middle of summer where I am and it has come in handy.

My delicate body pretty much necessitates acrylics only so I'm all Model Air all the time. I might have to try taking the front of the airbrush off and removing/replacing the needle from that direction so I don't mess it up again.

Just git a sweet job and can fully embrace the habit again. Got myself a widdle xmas present: My greatest challenge yet. Think I want to paint it rather than use stickers, any advice? I think prime it, airbrush the main colour and hand paint the detail?

I got a Sazabi and a Turn X, both MGs, two Action Base 1s, and a Copic Multiliner. Guess it's time to clean my workshop table. Edit: I was testing the Copic on some paper and it looks like ink isn't flowing. The little shaft from the nib tip to the ink is made of really flimsy material; do I have to make sure it gets in contact with the reservoir somehow?

What's less cool is losing feeling in your thumbs after the SIXTH one. And now I play the waiting game for my Dom Triple Pack

Got a Unicorn from the parents, and a small army of SDs from my sister. God knows what my friends bought me, though if one of them got me the Farsia like I suspect I may love them forever.

The only real issue I have with it is due to the amount of missile pods etc stuck to the sides/arms posing can be a bit challenging. I waited until I could pick it up for $30 from a local store, ebay/amazon was 45-50 most of the time.

I'm thinking about doing a PG this summer and it's between that one and the Strike. I like the Strike but I've already got MG Build Strike and I don't like having two of the same suit, also GP01 FB is dope as poo poo.

I'm in the process of figuring out what parts I need to convert my GN Archer into a transforming Rynex from Thunder Force 4, and Im' curious if anyone knows of some kits with big booster sets and long guns I can cannibalize to make this happen. I'm already gonna be using stuff from the G-Arcane since it's arms are compatible, but is there anything else that might be useful?
