God drat I want a Woundwort. One day I'll bite the bullet and pay the gently caress You tax and buy one.  Finished build 4 a couple nights ago and only just got around to uploading the pic. Definitely feels a bit unfinished; maybe that's only because I know the Zowort Heavy is a thing but the shoulders feel a bit naked and the knees look odd, like something is supposed to plug into them. Still, fun build, like all the kits I've done of this generation.  Probably not gonna get this started tonight cos I got other poo poo I wanna do, but I thought about it.

Lfrith Ur done, again, RIP a real maniac. In the whole, that's a really good kit. The caveat is, a lot of parts have a beveled edge that makes it harder than necessary to get clean cuts, and even with a lot of time and glass files I couldn't completely clean up the nib marks. quote:And here's my magnificent maniac. RIP Sophie. And I'm throwing down for another HG, the Pharact:

A couple vents that were stickers that didn't feel like they should be. I'll take a bit of time to deal with life stuff, then pick up the next kit.

Let me tell you, I'm not believing a sign of Zeta right now. The individual pieces seemed great, but once I put the Zeta together a good number of issues appeared. Joints feel weak, there's some oddities with mobility in the shoulders, and the compromises to make this a transforming suit were obvious.  Not much fancy posing here, this thing felt like it was about to do the splits and fall apart at the same time. I guess I'm glad to have a Zeta Gundam on my shelf.  Next up, in the vein of "Gunpla I wished I had when I was a kid but could never find in stores."  I really miss the cardboard insert covers these old MG kits have, I feel like they added to the anticipation of the experience.

Queadlunn posted:I'm trying some weird poo poo with the remainder of the Daban Astray kit I got. Kitbashing the big arms with a 1/100 TR-6 Woundwort kit I've had built but in storage for a while. Is that the CuteCube Woundwort? I've heard the original release was a horror story, have they updated the build at all or is it still a nightmare? edit: Looks like it's a moot point since it's not available anywhere.

Pierson posted:Is that the CuteCube Woundwort? I've heard the original release was a horror story, have they updated the build at all or is it still a nightmare? Yeah, my spouse got it for me like 7 years ago. The construction isn't amazing and there were a few QC issues (including a bad, non critical part) but it's got the best proportions of all of the Woundwort kits I've seen. Some of the peg joints are somewhat loose but it's about on par with an earlier Kotobukiya kit and it doesn't transform. Edit- I've been looking around for another of it and the kit seems to have vanished from the internet.

I know I said I was going to build that Gouf Custom MG, but I was able to pick this up and I really want to build it ASAP. It's an older HG kit, number 65, and I was surprised to see how many stickers it came with. I think there's 78 types? Some are variants but this is more like the amount supplied with an HG Origin kit. Hoping it turns out nice.

 Starting Assault Booster & High Mobility Unit for Gundam Geminass. This is pretty hefty for an addon kit, it's got five runners and a longer instruction manual than the Zogok.

First time buildings revive rx-78-2, plus this version has some extra bits here and there. Though the crotch V annoyed me as it does with many of these older HGs, especially since the entry grade does it just fine. Painted it in, maybe a bit crusty.  Next, Daryl bald

Asteroid Alert posted:
 Cranked it out quite quick. The belt stickers were the worst part, as they kept on sliding off constantly. Otherwise, an OK kit. Compared to Blade, this was an inferior building experience. Next up: MGSD MF-X10A Freedom Gundam.  Might be building this for a longer while. Trying to avoid being burnt out since cranking out kits is surprisingly fast, especially HG's.

Right. So I just took a commission on building a gundam. Clean snap build, nothing else. Do any of you build kits for money? What do you ask to do a kit? I'm building this one for token dollars, not my actual planned asking price. We'll see if I hate myself after building this thing.

I regret everything about my life but I did just sink a little over seventy dollars on a psycho gundam kit because I love mobile armors and always wanted a psycho gundam and saw that one site had it on sale. Incidentally the shipping on that poo poo made it cost only one or two dollars less than if I'd gotten it anywhere else, I checked. But by god did it save me a couple of dollars. But at least through all of this I was able to determine which sites would give me the best shipping. EDIT: also for the record, this is still cheaper than driving all the way downtown and buying it from don quijote if they have it. Kits that cost 30+shipping online cost like 50-60 there for some reason. Nuebot fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Aug 16, 2023 |
