St0rmD posted:I've done all that, minus the vacuuming, but I have tile floors. It's gone. I didn't even see which direction it flew, and I didn't really see or feel how much force/speed it flew off with. I was trying to push the little pin into the hole, and then my thumb slipped and it wasn't there anymore. Maybe there's a chance I happen to find it at some point, but I'm not hopeful. My worst fear is that it somehow flew over my shoulder into a very full kitchen garbage can that was about 6 feet behind me (and I'm not going sorting through kitchen trash for a 3mm piece of plastic). I was just posting to vent my rage/despair. Well, I got over my anxiety about scratch-building and went to town on a piece of the runner with a glass file until I'd whittled it down to a flat triangle. Not having the skills to scuplt a .5mm pin, I settled for gluing it down with plastic cement. From arm's length away, you can't really tell it's not the original part, and even under magnification it's not the worst looking part of the face.

Now that you've gone through all the trouble of making and gluing a new piece in place, the original part will appear on your desk in plain sight.

Basically any brand that isn't Bandai waterslides. Bandai's are a nightmare because they are so thin and they take forever to come off the sheet, so you run the risk of rips trying to get them off the sheet, then again when trying to place them properly on the model itself. When you're dealing with 100+ decals per model, this is just not worth the headache. I generally go for DL Model or SIMP. I would say 80% of my decals are DL Model. The Sazabi above took about 7 custom decal sheets of varying colors. They all worked out well, even the no-name Chinese brands. If they look too thick, go over them with Mr. Mark Softer a few times.

Is it just me or has Dalong stopped updating and is just posting pics of new kits on Instagram, rather than the photo-breakdowns that make their site so useful?

I got a replacement hand for the one that crumbled to dust, just need to paint it Zeon Grey and Char Color. They're a lil big for the Zaku but this one has a nice effect.  I wish they had a melee hand too

As someone whose gotten into scribing and now will be adding plaplate stuff in the future, I i hear you about these projects taking forever. My possibility of completing my backlog is zero. Great work as well. Edit Might as well post an update on my own stuff.  gotta touch up some paint chips and cover up surface detail I painted but will never see again.

Week or two ago had a wario64 popup on twitter that showed a Mecha-Godzilla but done in the colors of EVA-01. After putting the order in, I figured I should practice with something a little simpler. So I ordered two off Amazon   Then I went to Target  And then I blinked. And this happened  Godzilla hasn't even arrived yet. boz fucked around with this message at 07:14 on May 5, 2022 |

One of us, one of us. I would recommend against buying model kits of any stripe on Amazon, not just for gently caress-Bezos reasons, but because the scalping tends to be outrageous. There's a ton of specialty retailers who can get you product faster for cheaper, depending on where you are in the world.

I probably won't get it but I have to admire that people sat down and clearly put a fair amount of thought into how to do a horse girl kit.

I'd put it closer to a RE 1/100 with some extra layers for flexibility (the tail has a lot of parts)

I've had really pleasant experiences with both Gundam Planet and Newtype, I just buy more from Newtype because they're close enough to me I could go pick up an order direct from their warehouse on a daytrip.
