 Big guy was a lot of fun to build, trying to decide if I even want to panel line, let alone do stickers. Also core gundam is my new favorite thing

Core Gundam is a genius design and I want a PG Core Gundam for humor value.

Wouldn't mind a RG or MG honestly, it's a cool gimmick.

I am super sad. I started working on my MG Dynames yesterday, and there is a piece of the head that’s just missing from the runner. I checked the bags, the box, the floor all around my work area. Nothing. I just.. can’t build the head now.

I've only head about this years ago but you may be able to get a replacement part through Bandai since bluefin is (I believe) an official distributor and most places use them https://shop.bandai.com/returns-replacements

Bluefin is such an official distributor that they're literally just called Bandai Namco Collectibles now.

Given that bandai straight up bought them because their own western branches kept imploding and they needed people with a proven track record, it would be very funny if they also failed. lovely, but very funny.

That's what worries me though, if Bluefin had remained a separate company that was the sole licensee of Bandai goods in the US I'd be less concerned.

I thought bluefin was bandai owned from day one. If they were bought, it was many years ago, like before the limited barnes and noble releases.

Shipping from Japan to Australia sure is a thing now. An Action Base 5, two Bandai Spirits Parts Separators, an Optional Parts Set 8 and 2x Customized Weapons (Gatling Gun Unit)'s comes to... *checks notes* $72AUD via DHL  Or $95AUD via FedEx  (also for 3-5 days vs DHL's 1-3 Business)edit: Oh, and an extra $8 in tax.

According to the internet, cheap shipping through Japan Post still isn't an option for a lot of places because commercial flights are down. Fedex and DHL don't care but they also have that price tag.

Luckily I found a Sinanju at my localish store that was even under the Amazon price.

I used their missing piece form and supplied the requested photos. Took a couple months, but I did eventually get the part.

I thought I knew the risks with the MG Exia but hoo boy, that was a rough build. Lots of things just aren't quite stable enough, particularly where weapons attach to the body for storage, and I'm not really seeing a return on the frustration of the clear semi-holographic pieces. Hopefully when they get through the rest of the Celestial Being suits in MG they circle back around and give the Exia a refresh. I'm kind of scared to go back and get the transfers and stickers attached, given how fiddly and delicate it feels. This is awesome! You really captured the powered-down look!

Does anyone have a white or grey brush-on primer they'd recommend? I like the results I get with the Vallejo Mecha Color black primer, but their white and grey primers seem really thin. I have not figured out how to get good coverage with them. I only try to paint specific details, so a can or airbrush primer would not be useful for me. Thanks.

But it does work and it comes in a bunch of colors including white and grey.

I liked the old krylon fusion flat white, but I think the current stuff goes on thicker. Edit: I missed the brush on part. SpikeMcclane fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Jun 12, 2022 |

I'd seen it mentioned but I actually had lower hopes for it, because I think of Badger as an airbrush company. I'll give it a try.

So that new 30MM backpack is bigger than I thought it'd be.... Under all that is a green Revernova, with parts from about nine accessory packs. Most of which I bought a pair of for various builds and had floating around for a while in boxes. I like to think it just ground-effects around like a Dom and walking is... optional with a full loadout.  Also had some leftover parts from the multi-wing pack when I was making the dragon, so I just stuck them on the back of the feet to give it the look of support legs to hold it in place against recoil.

One of those series is Shin Mazinger Zero which hasn't had any kits, so it'll have at least one new thing.
