The higher the grit the better. That said 600-800 has been about as good as I need before I notice any real loss in smoothness.

Pretty much this. If it's a rough break you could go down to 400, but if you cut it with an xacto 600 should be good.

I am a little surprised that no manga or sidestory has ever had a Kampfer [Mass Production Type]

Seriously I know that was supposed to be a serious moment but I lmaoed at that. Like oh, so that's why they bothered to put Vulcan cannons in Gundam heads. Apparently lots of mobile suits are total rear end.

That's like part of the plot for thunderbolt right? they put gundam heads on normal mobile suits for morale purposes, and because they think they will find more newtypes

I still need to do some touching up (And I'm not sold on the shifter paint on the pauldron), but it's the deadline, so here's a Zaku custom.

Yeah there's a line of GMs called Gundam Heads that developed into the Ground Gundam Spartan Type. Theyre just up armored GMs with scary heads to psyche out Zeon troopers. No relation to the Ground Gundam 79G variants from 08th ms team.

Found a really good local hobby store and got myself an airbrush, some paints, and an hg gogg and byarlant custom. I think I need some more stuff that they’ll have in stock in a week like properly sharp nippers, sanding sticks, and topcoat but it feels good to be moving beyond just oob builds.

Sometimes I feel like using a zaku is cheating. Cause how can you make it look anything less than fantastic. Good work.

It was M.J.H that made it, but that's basically Dragon Momoko now so not really???

Anyway, the build was great. Would probably double-dip if they do that Black Getter version that Sentinel also released.

The arm gatlings are bigger then the head vulcans. The vulcans are 60mm, the gatlings are 90mm. For comparison: the machine gun that the ground gundams use is 100mm.

For real world comparison, the bigass machine gun on the A-10 is "only" 30mm and something like an F-15 is chambered in 20mm.

According to HLJ, 54 CAD before shippping. Amazon.ca? lol, don't even loving bother. :gonk:

Also, the same size as the machine guns used by the GMs in War in the Pocket.

On top of that, of course, the Kampfer is built to survive on speed, not durability. The design goal was to make a high speed Mobile Suit that could get in, tag the targets, and get out. Extended firefights without an ambush weren't in the plans.

What you mean you don't spend $150 CAD before shipping for your mecha toys? The last time I bought from Amazon I bought from USA Amazon and actually managed to save about ten bucks. I should really use HLJ whenever I'm not buying local.
