Anyone have any good gun color scheme inspiration to toss around? I've got a Type-23 rifle I'm using in my current build and don't want to go stock gray throughout. Squirtlemilitia used to to do cool detail builds on instagram but honestly doing a basic search is turning up garbage for me at the moment.Gripweed posted:They do stand out like a neon light to thieves though I once had my car broken into the day after coming back from a con with my trunk full of raffle prizes. There was nothing else of value in the car so the thief stole a still cling-wrapped Nazi style UFO model I had won. I still laugh thinking about how they figured that was ever gonna sell to a pawn shop for anything to make it worth their time, or how long it sat on their apartment floor.

Does anyone make a model of the Iron Giant? Wanna get that case labeled GUN, scratch or throw on a label that reads "Not a" and store my Iron Giant inside of it.

Figured I'd post my current WIP for a local SEED contest at the end of the month. Tweaked parts of it a few times so it's not fully painted yet. Going for a Strike Freedom Mass Production Type design.

Anyone else who's built this accursed 1/144 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam, is there a trick to getting the ammo magazines to stay in the Hyper Bazookas (step 23-3) They seem to be loose no matter how i set it up

hammered out several small stuff so I'm in a weird position where my work backlog isn't building per se so much as detailing/decals but once I knock this stuff out I'll be working on my mg quebley damned. also the tallgeese fluegal is getting here sometime this month which will likely be my summer project similar to the psycho zaku last year

This Moderoid kit has been sticking out to me at the hobby shop. I've never warched Martian Successor Nadesico but it looks cool and is giving me Barzam vibes. $60 CAD is kinda steep but the one I saw in store was about $50 instead.

I've got it, it's a decent kit. Smaller than most MODEROIDS, it's closer to HG-scale than the MG-scale most are. edit: Neddy Seagoon posted:The MODEROID Aestivalis Aerial Frame is all-in-all an okay kit. Not fantastic, has some minor complaints (mainly the storage case not actually being holdable

), but if you like Martian Successor Nadesico, it's a solid buy.
. Actually painted the rifle too, but it's still drying.

I have a basic question for yall. I’m building an HG Zogok (Unicorn Ver.) and the second ball joints on both arms feel loose. I know the recommendation is to use clear nail polish, so how would I apply it, to the socket or to the polycap ball?

To the ball, so if you apply too much it's easy to sand away until you have a fit that's secure but not too tight.

To the ball. It's easier to coat a sphere than it is to coat a depression. The ball is also the part that will be doing the movement, so building up the layers on it will increase the friction.

I hope the video gets English subtitles soon, it seems to be talking about it's design choices. We never get any kind of behind the scenes info. Slightly concerned about how many NOTES each step seems to have. Maybe it's just trying be less daunting for new builders. Stuff like this is why I'm pretty much done with Bandai. They can make as many double priced recolours and Unicorn With a New Hat they want, passionate designers are making good builds elsewhere.

It's the RG 1/144 unicorn with the bad arms, yeah. Also any tips to make these hyper bazooka magazines stay in place a bit better? They drop at the slightest provocation. I was thinking a bit of poster tack.

I’m close to finishing assembly of the MG Wing Zero Ver Ka I got for Christmas, complementing the MG Epyon I got the Christmas before that. Even though it’s a more complicated kit, I’m having a much easier time with it, and I can’t really explain it. The nubs are just placed better, or the type of plastic? I don’t know. I haven’t made a mistake yet, while on the Epyon I broke a leg, put the very first dry transfer in the wrong place (“forcing” me to it 3 more in the wrong place to achieve some symmetry) and got a decals on the chest crooked. The Wing Zero has water slide decals, which I’ve never used before. Do I want to put those on before or after I panel line? I still just used marker-type liners and cotton swabs. I don’t think I feel like going out of my way to get topcoat or marker setter or anything else new.

It's much easier to clean up the panel lining when you don't have to avoid decals. You can end up damaging or removing the decals rubbing off the excess panel lining, and you can smear it into the decal, which will outline it in an ugly way.

Got 98% of the painting done. All that's really left is the rifle so I'm trying to figure out some color separation. Shield is basically done I think but still masked. Messed with epoxy putty on the side skirts for the first time and it was okay but left some corner sharpness to be desired. Oh well - not a bad first shot at getting back into the hobby after a break The side skirts ended up a little too bulky for my liking but unfortunately the connections for the Strike Freedom are these awful clips for the railguns so I was pretty limited with what I could use without doing some bashing
