Gunpla are pretty cool and they always tempt me in the Barnes and Noble so lemme see them cool build pics and tempt me into spending the money.

I have done one Dragon Ball model kit before but it was super tiny.

No, we're building the 30MM kits. They're cheap and super customizable. https://www.hlj.com/search/go?ts=custom&w=30MM

Oh poo poo they are pretty cheap, I may pick one up if I've got some extra cash in the next couple months.

I found a store a few minutes away that sells gunpla, so I might drive over there tomorrow on my day off to see what they have and put together a possible shopping list. I'm going on vacation next week, so I'm trying to save a bit of spending money and might hold off until February.

How much can I kitbash the 30MM? Like could I put a Portanova's arms on an Alto frame?

I got a couple Amazon gift cards as a late Christmas gift, so I'm gonna use this windfall to finally get my 30MM when I get back from my vacation later this week. I'll be getting an Alto and an armor set, but since they're shipping from different places, I'd have to wait for the armor set. Would I be able to put together the base Alto first and then put the armor on it when I get that or do I have to do it all together at once?

I’ve been experimenting with using melamine/Mr Clean sponges to buff unpainted Gunpla, and I’m really happy with the results! On the Zaku I tested it on the arm and shield, then went and built a GM to test it on a whole model. I left the right calf unbuffed for comparison.

You get a nice finish pretty much straight away and don’t need to spend ages sanding away. Just make sure to use a damp sponge or you’ll have a bad time with all the plastic dust.

I don’t like top coat, got too many bad experiences with it from my Warhammer days plus its hard to use during the colder parts of the year here in the nordics.

Thinking about doing this for my Bael's body pieces, so you just take the part and rub it with the wet sponge? There shouldn't be any issues if I line it after it dries, yes?

I think they've got some 30MM designers on the series and you can feel it in those grunts. The dome head looks very Portanova.

I just remembered to hop on HLJ for Witch From Mercury preorderes, seems for HGs there's only the Lfrith and Beguir-Beu? Not the Gundam Aerial? I saw there's an Aerial coming out in October but had assumed that was the first update version of the suit. Just seems odd there's two suits out before the protagonist's.

USA Gundam has Aerial preorders open.
