RillAkBea posted:If you want a proper canon, highlights aside, that's pretty much the color scheme of the Victory as it appears in the Crossbone Gundam manga. oh hey youre right! thats quite a coincidence. also speaking of the manga I've just become aware of GUMP and now have a pie in the sky kitbash/scratchbuild/trashbuild? to do someday Warmachine posted:Frankly a line of these would make the sneaker collectors go bonkers. i probably got the idea from the Unicorn nike SBs, which I did not like, but was a cool concept Gaius Marius posted:I think the Purple needs to pop more, maybe metallic paint or something? It gets lost at a distance in the grey yeah I think you're right. it will be better represented in the V2 buster configuration because there will be more of it, but metallic could be a good idea! especially considering I'm replacing the gold parts with purple. thanks!

I just cracked mine open, and it's.. gonna need a lot of paint. The detail is there, thankfully. This is one year newer than my older MG. I have the MG GP-01... And the plastic on this kit is ~better~ than that MG. And.. has better detail. And it's only a year newer. This will be a fun model to paint, I think.

Hello gunpla goons. I've never built a big robot before, but I saw a localish shop open up recently and wanted to give it a shot. I also watched 08th Team and thought this might be a good time. So far it's easy enough to do on the couch while my wife plays Animal Crossing, even though I know I should probably do it in my actual work space. Gonna have to buy some 30 minute guys or something next

The real meat and potatoes of this hobby is going on shopping sprees for tools, paints, and accessories. I'm glad I'm feeling motivated to work again though. After like two years, I've finally started the painting and finishing work on my RX-78-4 and -5. I'm mostly finished with the shield for unit 5, since that was my test case piece. I'm not super thrilled because I decided to try out some old liquid mask fluid I had that was (somehow) still good. It works great as a mask, but its a pain in the rear end to work with and cut to shape without stretching it or scoring the undercoat. That, plus inexperience lead to me doing some hand-brushing touch ups. But so far it has cleared the incredibly low bar of 'better than stickers.' Waiting for the gloss coat to cure before doing panel lines on it. Once that's done, I'll move onto the rest of the kit. edit: Picture tax

 I decided to dive right in. I really would have loved to have started with Blade, but I don't have any sanding sticks/files yet and I'm weirdly more concerned about stress marks on that kit than I am Gundam kits. This kit is already kind of crazy.

Has anyone had issues with the Zogok clear face plate not staying in place? I don't think I cut off something that was intended to be used to hold it in place...

I remember having trouble with mine but I don't remember the solution. It's one of those pieces that are supposed to stay in place just by being a little bit too big for the opening. I may have shoved it in harder, I may have glued it. Not sure.

Cool, thanks! Will probably get some clear modelling putty or use some super glue or something to add some material to the edges to make it stick.

Thank God, I thought I screwed something up when building it. My solution was to wait until I had posed it before putting the clear plate back in.

I loosened the hell out of the inner-frame joint on the RG Perfectability, and it still cracked the shoulder joint  I think I'm gonna buy metal replacements that I found on ebay.

I'm surprised Gundam Artifact never really took off. Mini painting is adjacent to scale modeling. I'm hand brushing a 1/144 Graze using a Richard Gray warhams tutorial right now. Maybe these things needed a tabletop game to maintain interest.

There's always Lightning Strike, heavily inspired by Gundam series. https://store.dp9.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=124 The second edition of the original is excellent, I haven't played the new version.

The feet on the HG Nightingale are way too close together and makes it awkward to find a good position to put them into. I feel like the waist should have been a bit wider to give the feet some more room so that the inner "toes" weren't practically on top of each other.
