Is there a good database for all the awesome NGs? Dalong is lacking, and a lot of the cooler looking odd suits and MSV apparently never got a HG release. Where's my HGCC Kapool, Bandai.

MJP posted:Re: nub removal, I posted in the last thread about Gundam Planet's video mentioning curved blades. You mentioned earlier that you were using an x-acto blade for this, right? Do you happen to know the number of the blade? And does this method work for pulling the blade instead of pushing. I've never actually gotten down cutting away from myself, instead of towards me.

The worst thing in any handwork was working with wire with sharply pointed ends, with lackluster tools. My hands went numb from pain and I basically had to soak them in hydrogen peroxide to keep the infection at bay.

Literally The Worst posted:That sounds like a bad way to shop as opposed to "This place has thing, the price difference, if any, is negligible (for whatever your definition of that word is), now I own it." Nah, it's the same as checking craiglist or whatever for a good deal, except it's all in one spot and easy to deal with. Seriously, mandarake is fantastic for getting cheap exclusives. especially if you don't care about whether your box is mint.

Literally The Worst posted:I keep saying, it looks super dope menacing my other 1/144 kits and it provides a nice easy focus for posing: Everything is teaming up to fight it (except AGE-1 Titus and Build Burning, they're slugging it out at his feet, and Z'gok's running in terror). It ends up looking pretty rad. I mean if I had the money, the space, and didn't have a fuckton of HGs and NGs I want, I'd probably get one too, but it's still the most impractical model I've ever seen. Except for potentially the dendrobium.

But, like, a lot a lot of money. Because there's no way I'd be buying an HG-level kit for that much unless I have so much money I don't know what to do with it.

You just lay down some metallic, then some gloss, then black, then use a q tip dunked in alcohol to wipe the black paint off the raised detail. http://majorwilliams.blogspot.com/2011/04/gundam-building-101-reverse-wash-and.html While I can't attest to the accuracy of this tutorial, it seems well-written and the dude generally seems to know what he's doing.

And I've only seen like 10 episodes of Gundam X, too. For every Gundam X comment I think BlitzBlast has another Gundam X kit added to their backlog. And yeah, it's pretty cool for a primary protagonist suit. Speaking of, is there a decent version of the V2 out?

Mecha Gojira posted:Hildofr came out under the EX line, which were more like traditional model kits in that they required cement in their construction and a ton of paint to look accurate. Unless you're prepared to go full gung-ho model kit building on it and not just snapping it together over a weekend, by all means go for it. Otherwise, pass. I'll wait until I start painting my kits then. Thank you very much!

The Jormungand had a decent amount of firepower for a beam weapon, I think. Obsolete before it was even tested, but it packed quite a punch.

Tenzarin posted:How did the guy with one arm even make that mobile armor anyway? I mean he had one freaking arm. One armed dudes making crazy machinery has long been a thing, especially in terms of prosthetic. Honestly with enough clamps I doubt that there's really much you wouldn't be able to do. Also he really just did repairs and customized its controls to work for a one-armed dude. That was probably one of the least stupid parts of that show. Besides the Feddy helping him repair it, but, you know.

Kibner posted:There are a few other sites that you may want to check out for price matching purposes. The OP has some links at the end. If you and your son want to just see what models are out there, check out http://dalong.net. Click the 'HG' link in the toolbar at the top and then 'English Catalog' on the side. He does a thorough review of nearly every model, so it is a good way to find the names of suits that your kid likes. Or just use a mechanical pencil! But yeah get a good pair of nippers, and that's honestly probably all he needs. Two cuts, one far away, one closer. If he wants to get more into it there's a whole lot of routes he can go, from painting to carefully working it down with sandpaper and all sorts of stuff, but if he's just starting that's probably a good way to do it.

So is this P-Bandai HGUC 1/144 RX-80PR Pale Rider [Heavy Equipment Ver] going to likely be the only other release of the pale rider besides the one that shipped with that Limited Edition version of that game? It's a really awesome suit but I'd rather not buy it now if there's any chance of a standard release.
