Just realized i can make a nice family unit with these so I went and picked up the demi-trainer since I already have a few egg boys.

Gf found an Iwata compressor that someone had just tossed out in the roadside trash. She gave it to me because she didnt have time to try fix it, turns out there was just spilt paint gumming up the power switch and it works perfectly fine! I finally tried it out with an airbrush that I was previously running on a cheap ebay portable compressor tonight and blew the entire paint pot out the nozzle in 5 seconds so I could probably turn the pressure down a little. :v  works well tho.

SD kits are so tiny. This was a gift from the gf, the 00 gundam. One of the biggest pains was the head. Couldnt glue it without embedding the face part first but that would make the face super hard to paint so I just didnt bother :v. Came out neat though despite the whites being such a pita.

Is the bandai date on the front of the box the year the model was last messed with?

Cerebulon posted:Front of the box is the year it was first released. They don't go back and revise old manuals with info like the Japan-only runner recycling scheme, and runners are stamped with the year they were first used (so for example the MG Titans Gundam Mk-II is mostly stamped 2005 because it's basically just the AEUG version from 2005 but in blue/black.) and the little circle dials tell you the month/year the individual runners were specifically manufactured. I'm not sure if they've ever gone back and revised a glaring error in a kit without it being a Version 2.0 or 1.5 years later? Thanks. Thats very informative! Looks all pretty clear now I know what to look for, except that manufacture date symbol cluster looks like a nightmare

If it's not glued together you could also putty up the interior so you have a more secure spot to put a pin in.

Whats a decal setter actually do? I'm assuming a decal softener makes a decal softer and more likely to shape well to non flat surfaces?

With Tamiya's panel liners you should seal anything under it to prevent plastic cracking. Does this also apply to gundam pour markers and felt liners?

Thanks. I'm assembling an old rear end Zgok kit which has an abs inner skeleton thing which some ps parts go over. Can I just cement those together, they're kind of loose?

God this 1999 zgok kit is rough going. So many joins and gaps I'm having to fill and sand back just to get them even and smooth. And the chest section has a join but I'll have to paint the inset vent pieces first before I can assemble it, so I'm imagining I'm going to have to paint the insets, paint the piece, assemble the chest, then file back/fill the join and repaint it oh god D: I want a lil domeheaded guy tho. And the abs articulated skeleton is solid as gently caress.  e: gently caress it I'll just mask the vents. whats the worst that could happen :v Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Sep 7, 2023 |

   Came out decent. Joints love to loving pop out though. Should give this one final gloss coat. Also it taught me my seam finishes really need to be way better. Didnt realize it was a 1999 kit, lots of weird stuff when compared to modern kits. Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Sep 12, 2023 |

 Trying to edit this to be more color accurate, phone hates the lighting in here. its Mr Hobby Aqueous H89 Metallic green. The plain metal is gunmetal and silver drybrushing. Monoeye is from a craft store's gem sticker section. :3

Its more the design of the legs that causes it to easily lever the legs out if I try posing them. Will see if the added thickness will help or not!

Thats what i meant. The Zgok is from 1999 and the only one ive seen with abs so far. Ive only recently gotten into gunpla

Thats what surprised me about the abs runners, they were noticably heavier than the usual ones. The lack of heft to gunpla is one thing that bothers me about it. Wonder if I can load up parts with putty and shot for some heft.

If using oil paints for weathering, how long should they be left to dry? Oils do have a longer drying time on canvas but I imagine its much shorter for the smaller amounts weathering uses?

grassy gnoll posted:24 hours is generally a good minimum time. They stay pretty pliable and oily for a while, even once most of your solvent evaporates out. Thanks. Seems less than ideal if you want a one day build or something. Going to give enamel + thinner a try on a coated model and see, since mr weathering seems perpetually sold out of black and ground brown.

There's also the egg boys.  I quite like the 30mm stuff. The builds are solid, the piece designs are really nice. All seams are hidden with panel lines, theres several different aesthetic groups that work well together.
