HG Bael done I really love this suit, is the Full Mechanics version any good? Also, are the other HG IBO kits super loose like this? I remember reading somewhere about gluing part of the chest.

boz posted:HG Bael done It's variable. IBO kits tend to get a little loose once they've been around a while, but sometimes they're floppier out of the box and other times less so. The Full Mechanics is apparently pretty good. Not MG quality, but better than Re: 100 tended to be.

 This one was fun and simple and still looks nice with the rivets and stuff and very few stickers! Here's me cleaning off my nippers

Got my MODEROID Aliens Power Loader today, and while there's a whole lot of garishly-orange pplastic as expected given the colour scheme, Sigourney Weaver's got a lot less colour to her than I expected for a snap-build kit given the photos. She's completely unpainted-gray. Not completely unexpected of course, but something to be aware of if anyone else is looking at getting the kit.

OH YEAH, any of the non hero stuff in 1/100 or MG. The flag is unobtanium. I'm having some real trouble getting myself to finish even a HG these days. I have half a dozen RG's staring me down..

Andromeda, Aldebaran and Antares completed. Reasonably pleased with how these came out.  I'm a pretty poor photographer, think the lighting could be improved somewhat.

Not strictly plamo related but I was transforming my Arcadia Elintseeker for the second time and the shoulder joint caught on a little tab and just broke off. Looks like the other side was also about to give out? Is my only option to pay outrageous prices for a 3D-printed part (https://www.shapeways.com/product/DV3KRQCTN/kanzen-henkei-1-60-scale-fighter-variable-hinge) or should I try contacting HLJ or Arcadia themselves?  I’m outside the US and Harmony Gold’s litigation sphere, perhaps that’s actually helpful for once?

  Finally got something done. I had gotten the Enact painted up, decided to paint the whole thing cause I liked the blue I had. But when I went to reassemble it I discovered I had lost the shoulder joint and several detail parts. Lost any enthusiasm for building right there. Edit:  The next one. overlordbunny fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Aug 29, 2022 |

It looks like the original part is basically a plastic bar with some holes and other cutouts. You could layer some polystyrene sheet until you get the desired widths, then drill and sand it down pretty easily. It'd take you a bit of time, but the actual construction and supplies would probably still be cheaper than buying a replacement part. Alternatively, see if your local library or makerspace if you're in fancy-land has a 3D printer that can print finely enough to make a replacement. They'll usually let you use the machines for cost or for free, depending on funding levels.

I got this dude for my birthday on July 27th, along with a Lego Optimus Prime. It was a busy month, so it's kind of like a backlog of one. It's my sixth dude since starting the hobby this past Christmas.

I love that kit, sad the latch on his left shoulder door broke (before I had bought cement, so the piece is missing, I guess I could try carving something out of a runner)

Also thought I should share this guy:  Finally got his leg boosters installed. And you can see the one he's replacing in the background.

I honestly thought that the Qubeley Damned captured some of the charm of Mamoru Nagano's original concept art for the suit, and wouldn't have minded it with modern engineering.

One last entry for the month!  My next build will be the much-beloved MG Jesta, and I don't plan to rush through it in a day and a half. Thanks for the memories, folks! Edit: And in the true spirit of Backlogust, I just got a delivery of three more kits that I think are a birthday present. Backlog never dies!

grassy gnoll posted:Extremely sick, also worth a ton of points. Thanks for the advice! I do have a 3D-printer myself but I don’t think the resulting layered part would be strong enough, at least not with the plastics I can print at home. The shapeways stuff is done in a more exotic process and with nylon. Constructing it in sheets isn’t a bad idea, though there is also a peg with a ball at the end and replicating that would be more difficult. It sure if there is a way to fuse the existing (ABS?) peg to polystyrene.

rip, spent the last few days down and unable to gunpla. Just the absolute worst discomfort from something. One more day, here's hoping I can stomach one last kit.

The shapeways stuff is done in a more exotic process and with nylon. Superglue will definitely do it, but there's a fair chance the peg is also polystyrene unless you've got a polycap in there or something. You could test it out with plastic cement, and if it doesn't bond, clean it carefully and move to superglue. LAST DAY-ish As of the time of this post, it's 8:53 PM on Tuesday the 30th on Baker Island, which is where we're going to put our end point for the month. Calibrate that to your local time zone as you will - you're looking at GMT-12.

 Just in under the wire I think. The Gespenst isn't my favorite OG robot but I like what they did with it here, feels satisfyingly solid and as the other person said feels very well-detailed for a High Grade. Only thing I'm not big on are the fore-arm connections with feel like they should snap on completely instead of what they did here, but I can live with it.
