Besides some scratches that were on the gold out of the wrappers I really like the kit, iot's probably one of the best kit's I've built so far in terms of the actual build. Managed to knock one of the finger segments off and it bounced on the ground where it seems to have gone to the void. Took one of the spare fingers from the Gouf, as it turns out its the same finger segment. Managed to get the paint mixed to drat near the same shade of grey. This looks real, real good. Is that a matte topcoat?

Oh god I got the RG Unicorn linked earlier and have only put 4 HGs together, ever The assembly manual has 23 pages and dozens of "Don't cut this thing that looks exactly like a sprue" warnings No idea how to put on these decals, the diagram looks like something leaked to Mulder I am not prepared

That GM is rad. Be careful if you xacto I've stabbed myself twice working on this Unicorn. Someone earlier recommended a scalpel, I think I'd be dead now.

ty whoever linked the RG Unicorn sale earlier, ty ty. My first RG, finally finished assembly and it's rad as hell. The detail is incredible. I can't believe this thing emerged from those runners. Probably going to take another 2 weeks to put all these tiny tiny stickers on.

Cojawfee posted:Ah, ok. Thanks! Have fun with that Rouei! I really like that model, it's on my wish list. It's a good color scheme, the head is cool, and the club is a nice weapon. Midjack posted:With the Unicorn and derivatives especially, you can stop when it looks good. They have a lot of blank space that a little decal breaks up nicely, but they provide way more decals than is (strictly speaking) sane. Word. I've seen some pictures online that are pretty crazy, maybe even too busy, I guess that's why they say this stuff is more art than science.

I put together the RG Unicorn and had so much fun I picked up the untransformed HG so I can put them next to each other. Gotta say, that HG is one of the best I've had. Stable, 2 stickers, easy to panel line, nearly everything is white so no stress mark worries. Took 3 hours masking the clear bits on the RG Also made little notecard placards with their name + grade + scale so they look like museum specimens Wow! So real!!

I'm putting together a 1/100 Graze and it's a lot of fun, like a real big HG with extra gimmicks (moving pistons, verniers, head stuff). The Graze Kai looks cool, I wish they included that huge cannon in the HG.

Do they have like, a gold chrome out there? For the Hyaku Shiki. Google tells me something like Tamiya gold, buffed and gloss topcoat is the way to go. Will that give it a mirror sheen?

I didn't have too much trouble with the cables. The instructions have a mm ruler in the margins. The cables fit snugly and really make the model pop. Unfortunately they're most visible from behind! But yeah it is a fun kit. I was a little surprised at how much of the internal frame was already assembled but man are those mechanics impressive.

I'm surprised Bandai hasn't pooped out an MG Graze considering there's a million variants out there to milk. This frustrates me because I would buy all of them.

Speaking of Big O, what kind of paint/weathering/effects would you need to recreate the kind of wrought iron, mottled texture they have on the Max Gokin figure?

Hey kids gunpla master Marx Headroom here with a hot tip: using Contractor's Solvent to remove excess paint will make your model dissolve and melt before your very eyes. It's bad to kill but if you just murdered a gunpla and need to hide the evidence, ask your hardware store for Contractor's Solvent.

Neddy Seagoon posted:A pass through Google Translate says it's just a general "we're making HG's better" description. Finer details and part separation, more intricate assembly, that kinda thing. Sounds about right. The new Act Zaku HG actually has a freakin gear system in the head that turns the eye sensor as you turn the head.

the "Use MGs to slow down" strat works great for me, combined with the "Never start another kit until you're finished with your current one" rule it's like a brick wall, plus feels great to poop out an HG after you're done

What's the best way to paint tiny recesses and edges? I'm assuming a brush but wouldn't it be a huge pain to clean up mistakes? Would it be simpler (generally) to mask and spray? Example, yellow bits here:
