Primer can fill in holes from poor cutting, but it can't flatten things. It's why everyone says you should sand when you paint, you want a flat surface.

Was just wondering if it needed to be really flush or the primer would fill it in as to not be a big bump. Best way to describe it would be to run your finger nail over the area and feel a stop. Could Mr. Surfacer, fill that in and make it so your finger nail does not feel that bump? I'll prob just sand more, just trying to figure out what I can leave for the primer to fix basically.

Wouldn't recommend it. You'd be better off cutting as close as possible and then filling whatever results.

The light blue psycho-frame looks really nice.

The light blue also makes it look a little like the G-Self, which is pretty much traditional Gundam colors with random super light blue.

Wow, the Wing Gundam Zero Honoo has really bad seams on the legs. Like, 90's No Grade bad.



Who thought that was acceptable in 2015? The worst part is that the rest of the kit has nearly no seams whatsoever. It doesn't make any sense.

Apparently, the Build Fighters releases for July are in.

To Be Release in July 2015:
- HGBF 1/144 Lightning Zeta Gundam

This is actually a fairly common thing for HGs, though they usually disguise it better. I guess all the budget for this one went to the flaming glowy crap.

I don't really like the Zeta but the Lightning Zeta was real cool. I'm tempted.

Amiami and HobbySearch have started preorders for the June releases. Amiami already closed preorders on the Tryon-3, so anybody wanting one might want to get on it soon.

This is nothing short of engineering perfection.

I'm back home now, so any changes/additions that you guys would added to the OP is now doable for me. Suggestions would be appreciated. Also, if you'd like to save me the trouble of going through every page to find them, post pictures of completed projects you'd like to have added to the second post.

System Weapons 009 and 010 have been announced for July and August, respectively. 009 is a pair of Zaku shoulder-mounted RPG's, and 010... is another shoulder-mounted RPG with a rifle.

010 is the Strike's bazooka, which was only ever released in a special edition of the original MG Aile Strike. This is actually pretty awesome!

Ah, I thought it might be something SEED-based, given it was posed with the Strike. My disappointment with it is that four of the last five System Weapons have been Bazookas or RPG's. It's still neat on its own merits.

nobody in the Build Fighters Try thread seems to care that there was a 5-7 second close-up shot of the Woundwort flying off to fight in the final episode, which was rad as gently caress to see. maybe they're finally getting off their rear end and are making a kit of the thing and they're just at the prototyping phase?

Sorry, but that was because it was one of the winners of a contest a while back as to who would cameo in Try. Same goes for Xi.

They pretty explicitly said they WEREN'T going to have the Woundwort without having a kit, then chose the Xi instead. Either they changed their minds or they've got SOMETHING in the works they haven't announced yet.

Any tips for airbrushing future? I take it I should just barely light mist a piece so its not really shiny to help not causing it to pool. What psi would be best to shoot it at? Plan to test this out on a bunch of spoons first.

Said where, exactly? It's not like showrunners have any influence over what Bandai does or does not do, so it seems like a strange promise to make.

That's hosed up. We live in a hosed up world where the Infinite Justice has a Master Grade, but the Anf from Gundam 00 gets nothing.

Armaments
30mm Machine Gun
This projectile weapon found below the Anf's optical sensor, replacing the Fanton's original smoothbore gun. The smoothbore weapon fires a 30mm round that is used in anti air or in rare cases, anti MS attacks. Possess low destructive power. This armament is commonly used as an anti-personnel weapon capable of firing rounds with enough power to leave large holes in stone walls.

Kinda overkill for killing unarmed civilians. The box art would be it committing genocide! That will sell good!

It's a BF Cameo. They don't go further than "Oh wow, they animated that :munch:". The bigass battle at the end was probably a late addition, so they just went "gently caress it, toss the Woundwort, the Xi, whatever I don't care I'm out".

It has an exposed clip of ammo center-chest. Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Hell even soldiers on the ground could kill it that way.
