Yeah, I really don't like that. I love the big bulky Double Zeta too much.

Backlogs, is it? I'm not in a location where I can get a picture, but: HG Bearguy-san HG Cherudim SD 00 Gundam SD Full Armor Unicorn (in progress) MG Build Strike Full Package (plus the booster thing) MG Exia Ignition Mode MG Exia Repair II MG Wing Proto Zero RG Strike Freedom Oh yeah, and NG 1/144 Gundams Wing, Deathscythe, and Sandrock.  The R-II was what started this entire thing for me, too.

 Not pictured the RG Gundam MK.II and Thunderbolt Zaku II in my HLJ warehouse. I've started on that Reborns half a dozen times and never finished it because I keep thinking I'm going to gently caress it up, so I should wait and finish it once I've had more practice.

Well I got the Soulgain that was on sale last week/two weeks ago and built it today. It looks nice but the shoulder connectors are just the worst loving thing. Try to adjust it even a little bit and the arms plop right off.

You guys really need help if your backlogs are that deep. But I'm not going to be the one to give it to you, as I picked up a few things myself today. Got lucky with a trip to my local hobby shop to find they had both a Valuable Pod and a Gunpla Starter Set Vol 2 (A G30th Edition RX-78-02 with a lining pen), something I've been hunting for for ages. The VP was actually a surprising find as their "new-release" stock is usual not more recent than about 2-3 months ago, and they're taking preorders for the upcoming Build Fighters Tri and G-Reco kits, so it looks like they're catching up to Japan's release dates. Pray for me  .

If you've got a partially built Super Gundam I'd be game for that. I'd like a Dendrobium-like gun for my GP-03, and that looks the best.

I don't own that many kits but I did clean up my backlog in the last year or so; I only had 3 kits to do but still. I did buy HGUC Banshee Norn Destory Mode + Banshee Head display stand I am planning a order around march though (1/100RE gp04 come to me  ) and ill likely treat myself to a few kits for xmas.

I've started using gundam markers in lieu of fighting with tiny mono color stickers, sometimes not so tiny when I can tell that they are just going to come off, fist wrappers etc. I notice, and this is probably due to my technique, that there is a decent amount of pooling on bigger pieces. How can I avoid that ? They come out decent enough if uneven.

But until then try painting the part from below, that will minimize the amount of paint that comes out. Also use multiple light coats, etc.

I'm getting the feeling I won't be getting a replacement antenna for the RX-78-2 Evolve 15. So I'm gonna do something stupid. I'll be getting Grey Stuff (edit: actually it's something else) epoxy and will attempt to make a replacement piece sans spiky antennae. I'm not a fan of those anyway. Wish me luck!

Any tips for using plastic cement? Should I be just holding pieces together and go down the seam line or open them alittle and cement in the seam line. Planning on practicing on some cut up runners first before trying actual parts. I also shaved pegs and bored some of the holes inside parts for easy disassembly, do I need to cement those as well?

You can do it either way. I usually put it on the mating surfaces when the interface is fairly wide and paint the seam when it's not. Keeping the cement on the mating surface means less mess on the outside since the cement melts the plastic it contacts. If you shaved pegs you might put a dab on them too, since they're designed to be the structural support.

You want to put the cement on any surfaces that will come in contact with each other and then hold the surfaces against each other for a minute or so. After that leave the part for a while to let the weld cure, then you clean up the surface with a hobby knife/sandpaper/files.

how in the sweet gently caress do you get the sazabi to actually hold its rifles? Every time I try it looks like the wrists are just too shallow and the butt of the rifle is hitting the forearm.

Every time I try it looks like the wrists are just too shallow and the butt of the rifle is hitting the forearm. If you mean the normal beam rifle, you have to tilt the wrist so that the stock is on the inside of Sazabi's arm. For the long rifle, the only feasible way to pull that off is to two-hand it with the rifle going across Sazabi's chest.

IT IS mostly FINISHED. All I need to do is paint the orange psychoframe like I did the V-Fin, since I found the right color combination to get the right shade, but I'm holding off on that for a bit.  I also finished the Phenex, which was a build that the universe straight up did not want me to finish. Parts were warped/cracked, some pieces were missing, (the crest is straight up gone for some reason), and the expected extra finish troubles combined with the general MG Unicorn jankiness made for a hell of a struggle, but it looks good for now. I'll get to repainting it a more reasonable gold in the future, but I need to do a parts order first to replace the broken crap because apparently play-asia manhandles their kits. Damned if it isn't an impressively shiny bastard though.

There is no such thing as going overboard on decals. My only limit is the amount I'm willing to spend on waterslides.

Planning on practicing on some cut up runners first before trying actual parts. I also shaved pegs and bored some of the holes inside parts for easy disassembly, do I need to cement those as well? I will generally brush cement on the mating surfaces of both parts, wait a few seconds, and then repeat so that the surfaces look/are wet. I like to see a little bead of melted plastic squish up when the parts are pressed together: it means the seam will be mostly if not completely filled when the weld cures, lessening the need for any extra fillers and ensuring a strong bond. I dislike using the capillary action method, which I find messy, uncontrollable, and flat-out ineffective. The drawback to my method is that the join may take a long time to fully cure if you're overly-liberal with the cement application. Using clamps or tape to hold parts together is not something I've really had to do with Bandai kits. Pressing the parts firmly together for 30-60 seconds is usually sufficient.

Out of general curiosity, with the release of the new Next Generation Patlabor kit that's just come out, do you think there is any chance Bandai might decide to release a new version of the old-school AV-98 Ingram based off it?
