Warmachine posted:New thread, and I'm just starting a project for the first time in ten years. When I was a child, I only did snap together. Now I'm doing a Thunderbolt Zaku II in a Build Fighters color scheme. That's awesome, I love the Thunderbolt variations. I've only glanced at my sprues and its go so much more detail than the stock Zaku.

This night's effort... A big pile of jim, ready for washing and priming tomorrow. For whatever reason the sprue for all the white parts was a weird teal color. Doesn't really matter because I'm going to paint it but anyone trying to do a snapbuild with this kit is going to get a weird final look. I've learned a bit and picked up some new tools since I did that Zaku... I'm doing the double snip on the sprues which works way better and I picked up a set of Squadron Tools sanding sticks and a seam scraper that have really let me get at the nubs and seams easily. No accidental file or hobby knife gouges on this GM! I would've started on this yesterday, but I decided to work on my pistol instead and spent an hour and a half chasing escaped springs around the room. Tonight's gunpla was much more relaxing.

Literally The Worst posted:What the hell is the double snip I guess I made up a dumb term for making a long cut and then a close cut to get the part off the sprue.

 These are the tiniest goddamn stickers but I don't think I hosed it up too badly. The Delta Plus is a rad suit and I need to get it some Jesta posing buddies.

Warmachine posted:That's how it was translated in the sub. Instead of a Sinanju core, it was an old-school Zeong. Wouldn't that be a Double Zeong?

MJP posted:If you ever want a fun one-weekend-day build, the HGUC Z'Gok comes together really nicely. Not too many seams, and easily filled/sanded. They used whitewash as winter camo, so you could try doing that. There were also some accounts of tanks being sent into combat with only the red factory primer paint, the need for them was so desperate.

BlitzBlast posted:Unless you want to go full DIY, Ikea Detolfs are the usual choice. The bonus is that "Detolf" honestly sounds like the sort of name Zeon might have hung on an overpowered superweapon.
