The last couple times we did a theme rather than a specific kit. We could do that again, if someone has a good idea for a theme.

How about "Build a Gundam"? People who have never done a Gunpla before can just grab a kit from Target, experienced builders can do crazy custom jobs, whatever. As long as it's a Gundam

Any hot tips or recommendations for an airbrush kit and other related stuff suitable for a beginner?

Pair that with a dual action gravity feed airbrush like this and go hog wild.

Airbrushes can get expensive, but don't be fooled, even with a cheap one to start out with you can get great results.

I'll spin it for you quick...
It'll be louder, of course, but I just picked up a $50 3 gallon compressor from harbor freight's spring sale. I'll let y'all know how that goes once I clear space and try it out. I figured I might as well go that route since adding a tank to my tankless wouldn't be cheaper.

I'd love to do a 30MM group build with all the newer customizable part sets and kits

I say, waiting for the new 30MM kit to release on the 9th so I can put together a shipment from HLJ and make them stop nagging me about my Private Warehouse... :ohdear:

Best get on that myself, though preorders and HLJ misrepresenting stock levels my warehouse is a mess. Hopefully can get the RG GGG in time to ship.

Just finished my first painted kit in two years. The pandemic sure killed my creative output.
I think the paint job turned out fine but a lot of the panel lines got lost through all the paint and clear coat layers; I should remember to scribe them out deeper on the next kit. I bought a small light box for photos but Gundam kits are much too big for it.

I knew Gundam Evolution was an Overwatch clone, but it hadn't occurred to me that that meant skins. We're gonna get so many P-Bandai color variants

I've definitely made that Barbatos before by pallet swapping a Titans color theme in Gundam Breaker Mobile. Camo Sazabi is messing with my head though.

Get on it faster if you want one, because the Rever Nova is now released!

lol the camo pattern seems to be scaled based on what it's applied to. it's very crowded and small on the GM thing's gun and then it's huge and spread out on the Sazabi's shield. hope you can play with the scaling on patterns

In the Toy Story cinematic universe, at what percentage of completion does a Gunpla become magically alive? Or, is it fully aware once all the runners are placed in the same box and it exists in some kind of body horror hell state?

On that note, would all the Gunpla have their own personalities, or do they just take the persona of their respective pilot?

This sounds more like Toy Story. Toys would have Robin Williams making a music video somewhere in front of a security camera.

I figure that the Master Grades have it be the pilot figures who are alive. For kits with no pilots, I figure it's a mix depending on the show. Barbatos is probably a feral beast, while Master Gundam is basically just Master Asia.

A spork became sentient once designated a toy, so if you call them scale models, they will never know life.

Oh, god, imagine a Gunpla that becomes alive just as the little cousin that has snuck into your room to destroy it.

"The power of the Marfalump idea is it's one, simple idea. It's not about Pepsi or Star Wars. It's about a character that loves both."
Does this mean that Gunpla sold at a toy store are in constant pain with all of their body parts and limbs being suspended in plastic? Or would it be justba state of pure unfeeling and void until they're put together?

Mine just came in a day or two ago - really quick and satisying little guy just like the rest of the 30MM. Like a cute Metal Gear. Dunno what do do with him or how to paint him but I'm sure I'll get some ideas when I get more models.
