I try to stay under 100. Usually by quite a lot, but when that thunderjaw preorder came along I felt like I had to get in on it.

I keep telling myself I won't order any more kits this year since my backlog closet space is full. But then, P-bandai likes to put Gundam Base exclusives up on Black Friday, so I'm hoping to overcome the FOMO.

Nerobro posted:In general? One kit at a time. $12-60. I get joy out of visiting shops and seeing what's there. However, p-bandai? yeah.... that's generally $100 an order. If you're new to the game, p-bandai isn't gonna be hurting you yet. But at some point that siren call will sing to you, and you'll spend $80 on a HG kit. Or $115 on a RG. And... you'll like it. This is the way. Value is subjective, and what is priced at $15 might be worth $10 to one person and $30 to another person in terms of what they get out of it. Waffleman_ posted:Yeah I'll just go to the Don Quijote they got in Ohio Aside from this being a loving hilarious response (and my condolences for living in Ohio), I don't think I've bought gunpla from a brick-and-mortar store since the HobbyTown near me closed up shop. They had a good selection too. There's another small shop near me but they seem to cater to the RC crowd far more than the traditional model crowd, and all I can say is that the place failed the "vibe" check. Which leaves Hobby Lobby, and gently caress those pricks.

Got my Pacific Rim Gypsy Danger subassemblies together today after painting and clearcoating everything and wanted to try out the Tamiya enamel panel liner. If I've clear coated and the paint is all acrylic I should be good to use it with some mineral spirits to clean up the excess panel lining, right? I know to make sure it doesn't get under parts and such so the plastic doesn't crack but wasn't sure if there was anything to do otherwise or if I already asked this weeks ago. Also, this kit uses stickers so it shouldn't matter but if I'm doing a kit with waterslides should I put those on before or after panel lining?

I put stickers and decals after panel lining.

I guess the HG Scopedog is out now? I went back and checked out the 1/20th version from the 2000s on Dalong's, and obviously it was way bigger, but also a ton more interesting with all the gimmicks. Guessing those aren't in production any more though.

Don't worry the scopedog is so modular they'll P-Bandai the poo poo out of it. Pretty sure I already saw cockpit internals as a P-Bandai upgrade box.

Took longer than I expected not counting the emergency super glue run I needed, but DrillGao!

Clearly, given the Wright Brothers and the likes of Jim Lovell and Neil Armstrong trying to get as far away from it as possible, life in Ohio is so repellent to the soul that it is no longer weighed down by gravity
