Waffleman_ posted:Random thoughts: Maybe my next build should be another G-Witch kit. Zowort or Chuchu's Demi The Zowort's alright. It's a very fast build if you don't go for painting it or anything, so it shouldn't take too long. I've had 30 minute mission kits take longer.

One of my 30MM kits got here today, along with the weapons pack. The Revernova looks great with the giant hammer, less so with the sickle. I'll try to get pictures, but I don't have a great place to take them at the moment.

I’m trying to bang out the small pile of kits I have so I can move on to finish other neglected projects this summer, then I get a shipping notice for a hygogg I forgot I had preordered ages ago. Ok why not, one more won’t hurt. Then I see The O, and shiiiit that’s right up my alley. I’m happy I’m making the hi-nu just to see how cool an RG can be but it isn’t really my style, too flashy. A chunky industrial looking dude like the O though, gently caress I might need one more.

  Alright, took some pictures, I think the weapons pack that I bought works well with the kit. On the back of the hammer is a pentagram, so I've been affectionately referring to it as the Satan Hammer.

Agreed, the Gundam Hammer is much improved by adding a sickle to the other end of it.

10+ years since my last MG Behold! Testament Gundam Now just gotta get to denubbing it then getting rid of any leftover marks before assembly. It simplifies my workflow a lot.

Waffleman_ posted:I finally went the next step and got a display case from Ikea. Not a Detolf, but I got the Milsbo in black to go with the TV stand that'll be next to it in my loft. I got a six pack of these recently. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGJZ762Y They're in two stacks of three on small bookcases. I'm going to need more soon, but they're a good start for proper display.

That's definitely the way I build after painting, though I will generally do a pre-assembly so I have that experience under my belt.

Midjack posted:I am not saying this to be snarky: I really hope you never drop those bins. There are some people who can build like this but I am not one of them. I've dropped them before. The only reason it's like this is because MGs are big and have a lot more pieces. I usually use little plastic boxes with lids but MG BIG Edit: Despite how disastrous that sounds, handling every piece before assembly helps me remember dumb poo poo since this method of Gunpla basically familiarizes me with the pieces and the instructions once or twice (or more if I have to keep going over the manual) that I haven't had trouble picking up pieces off the floor and putting them in the right section.

I finished the large goose and I came away from that with a desire for better tweezers (I was just using the ones in my ifixit kit) because those decals were drat thin. Is there a recommended set?

   Alright, got all of my kits built, threw together a terrible backdrop from the boxes. They were all great builds, especially the Gespenst.

I remember one poster who built that many MG Unicorns he once built an entire MG Unicorn from a pile of clipped parts (and maybe without instructions? This was many years ago).

That was probably me, I had a lot of extra stuff lying around back in the day when I was custom building my Plan B. Of course now that I actually have an MG Plan B I haven't built anything in over two years

My something-between-master-and-perfect grade Thorbot shipped!  It happened way earlier than I expected! I'm still busy setting up a place to display it and don't have everything ready to make it pretty!  Guess it will go into storage! No I don't have a problem! It... it's a box of presents! I can begin unwrapping them whenever I want. I just don't feel like it.
