I was thinking something similar with regards to cats who like to lay next to my current chair's wheels.

https://twitter.com/mrmattjay/status/1132361466231762944?s=21 Built my good Gouf boy yesterday and went out today to pick up Char’s Origin Zaku https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXGOIMW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FwE6Cb5YA2PG4 Went to a cool little toy store in Chinatown in LA. The guy there clearly knew his poo poo and told me he really liked this one. Gonna start building it on stream later.

If you really like this and can make it to Fullerton on a weekend try getting hooked into Clem’s build gatherings, you’ll meet a lot of great builders and pick up some terrific knowledge.

The Origin Zakus are hands down some of the best Zaku kits ever made. The MG 2.0 Zaku and the RG Zaku are also excellent, but the RG Zaku is an early RG so it has some fiddly bits.

It will definitely be a huge contrast with my PG Zeta, and hopefully a great display piece with a little panel lining. I can't wait to get started and not finish it for six months. Edit: I cleaned a little backlog today as well. I've been poking at this kit for months between other things: https://twitter.com/muffinlordArt/status/1132746146022088706?s=19

Unmature posted:Are all the Origin kits as fuckin badass as the Char Zaku? Most of them. Some of the MSD Origin variants aren't as good, though. They haven't made a 1/144 scale RX-78-2 yet but the RX-78-1 they did release was kind of mediocre and way overpriced. The zeon kits all tend to be top notch. The Waff is neat and the Bugu has a cool auto rotating mono eye gimmick you usually only see in real grades and master grades. I'm still waiting for an Origin version of the Dom. It's been years since the Dom Test Type came out.

Definitely didn't just pick up four Gundam base exclusives (HG Byarlant Clear, RG Sinanju Metallic Gloss, RG Unicorn Destroy Lighting, MG Aile Strike Clear), the P Bandai MG Altron and a cheap MG Destiny Full Burst Mode while in Japan. And definitely don't need to buy another suitcase to get it all home...

Really good, better than the Bandai ones (which are OK) more inline with the proportions of the anime.  The first one is an old Bandai kit based off a ps2 game, the second one is the Godzilla x Evangelion one. That one is sick. Puddin fucked around with this message at 01:42 on May 28, 2019 |

I previously had a sticker on a piece but removed it to paint it and the sticker left behind that awful adhesive gunk. I tried using dish soap but that didnt work too well. i would try rubbing alcohol next but am afraid that may damage the plastic. any recommendations?

Alcohol is fine. It's once you start getting into the enamel and lacquer thinners that you have to be careful. Windex should work well also.

As someone already said, try alcohol or goo gone or anything short of an organic solvent like acetone, which will melt your plastic. Also before painting or priming, please sand. The finger oil from just touching plastic does make a difference as to future paint adhesiveness.

So I'm adoring the RG Sazabi. What other RGs are decent? I know a lot of them are flimsy fucks that fall apart if you look at them funny.

Do with the GP-01 what i did with the Full Burnern variant and just glue the torso section together. I barely ever pulled out the Core Block for display and the extra sturdiness is worth it.

I've been eyeing the RG Sazabi for a while, but I keep telling myself that I'm gonna get the MG Ka version some day. Other than Zakus, I don't really buy different types of the same kit. Is there anything the RG does better than the Ka?
