I was looking at the miniature thread, they did a month too. But it was an established thing, every month they did a model. Plus everybody in there is already at least somewhat dedicated and experienced modeler. I think the C-SPAM challenge should last a bit longer, like September and October?

how hard is it to paint a gundam if youve never done it?

So the best way to do it is to assemble the model and figure out what you want to paint, and then disassemble, paint, and reassemble. That's kind of the most foolproof way to do it, so you don't accidentally get paint on the pieces you don't want to paint. I very rarely do any painting because by the time I've got the thing assembled I'm ready to move on to the next one. You can get around this on an assembled model by putting tape on the parts you don't want painted, but depending on the fragility of the model you're doing (for instance, Gundam Unicorn models seem to be especially flimsy), you might have a hard time peeling the tape off without also pulling the attached pieces out of the socket.

Gunpla kits are way easier to paint because they don't have all the small details. I've seen people get decent results by just spray painting the pieces in the appropriate colors

Hi friends!

I prefer not to post much, but nearly all the time that I spend on these forums nowadays is spent lurking either C-SPAM or D&D. Usually C-SPAM.

Anyway, I'm feeling kinda excited because I have received my invitation to attend the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi and have purchased my plane ticket to Russia! Hopefully the visa acquisition process will go smoothly.

Is anyone else who spends time dicking around in the politics threads on this website going to be at this event?

Maybe I will try to befriend a woman from a poorer country and ask her if she would be interested in marrying me and living in America with me! This possibility is fun to think about, but I don't think it's very likely.

Anyway, please enjoy this "Hymn of Democratic Youth", which I suppose might be the theme song of the World Federation of Democratic Youth, which sponsors these world festivals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG9pbizD0nc

Thanks for reading this post! C-SPAM is super groovy and awesome!

Cool, here's some useful links/collected info from when a succer asked for beginners guides in the gunpla thread, for whoever makes the op:

Mobile Succ Units
https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-HGBF-Hi-Mock-Model/dp/B00P5R148U - Hi-Mock, easiest 'normal' HG build, currently 12bux

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00U7A8CVC - simplest and cheapest available kit that's still good. 6bux for a tiny posable bear.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014SCWB0W/
- modern cheap kit, less paint-customizable than Mock, significantly more complicated, 11.75 bux

Shitpainting Boot Camp
https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx-SoCOivVEHNDOl16VWLB3A - super short and to-the-point vids for beginners, excluding airbrush vids it's 26 videos around roughly 25mins.

https://youtu.be/Ikk7ybBiP1I - official corny bandai vid on stuff you can do to make your kit look better after building it

https://www.gunpla101.com/category/tutorials/ - shitload of various tutorials, good resource if you need to figure out how to do Thing

https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/wiki/index - Predditor wiki on gunpla, has a quick-start guide
