I don’t have a paycheck until August so of course I decided to invest in a brand new plastic-buying hobby because I haven’t spent enough cash on lego and transformers jfc I bought a HG Char’s Zaku II and a HG RX-78-2 Gundam Revive. The Zaku got here Thursday and it’s been great putting it together. The feelings of instant joy and understanding I got putting together the Zaku meant I pretty much right away got a RG Unicorn, MG Freedom 2.0, and a MG GM Sniper. You can see it, and then BUILD it? I’m in. Pretty sure this is a

Anybody have any good pictures of their panel-lined RG Tallgeese they could share? I’ve finished building mine and he’s my favorite son, and I feel I could do a better job panel-lining if I just straight-copied for a few models to get a sense of what to pay attention to and so on.

Hey Gunpla dudes! I’ve realized I pretty much only love Zakus (well that’s not true, but Zakus are the best. BEEF BOIS). Is it worth paying above MSRP for a Psycho Zaku on eBay? They seem to be out of stock on all the legit sites I know. I’m not sure how often stuff gets restocked; I come from Transformer land where once stuff is gone, it’s really loving gone.

I either need to craft or buy some kind of small vise because it’s the only way I’ll ever put stickers on my built kits. I got a cool pair of tweezers and a little pointy metal stick, but they don’t mean poo poo when you’re shoving a RG part across a table with your breath.

Midjack posted:A little blob of blue tack and a pair of tweezers can also amplify holding power, and you can stick the tweezer handle in a binder clip, helping hands, or other stronger grip if you’re worried about damage and those are the tool you have at hand. Do you mean like popping the piece on top of some blue tack? That makes sense; luckily all my teaching stuff is at home with me so I can try it out. Also I like the binder clip idea but that’s for holding the tweezers closed, right? I’ve got a cool pair of sticker-specific tweezers that stay closed by themselves and you squeeze them to open.

So I’m fairly sure I lost a part for MG Barbatos (C23; dark brown cylindrical cover for a shoulder piston) and I don’t want to order a new set for this tiny thing. What can I do to get a new part? I think the set would work without it, but I would know.

Yeah I am building the rest of this kit to see if I just misplaced it. And I have a bunch of parts in a bag somewhere, so maybe I’ll get lucky or be able to trim something to size. BUT. I’m glad the option is there even if it’s more money to spend. W/e, my peace of mind is worth some cash.

Trying to be rational about my need to complete arbitrary lists of molded plastic, here. I’ve already got an RG Tallgeese and I quite like it. I’d like to have a full Wing crew. I’m not too too fussed about differences between EW/TV (also I’m only on like episode 22 of the show). I was thinking I would go 1/144 scale so I didn’t have to redo the Tallgeese and also it would be cheaper/less space. I like the RG Wing Gundam EW over the Zero (I can’t get on board with the feathers, sorry feather friends), there’s a HG Heavy Arms about to come out, and a HG Sandrock that’s recent. Looks like I’d kind of have to wait for a quality Deathscythe and Shenlong or else use ones released a long ways back. I guess I’m asking if there are any MG kits of those six that are true must-haves that should change my mind and bump me up to 1/100 scale? God knows I’m susceptible to arguments of “yeah, but you’re not getting the real experience unless...”

Kallax is another good option, and you can put books or whatever in the different squares. Then when you get too many Gunpla and the room for detolfs, you can just put your detolfs on top of your kallax

I don’t know if they’re favored by the thread but I found some recently at scale hobbyist and Burbank’s house of hobbies. Burbank’s particularly shipped stupid fast. I love my RG Tallgeese but he really does need a stand to operate right.

Bees on Wheat posted:Hot drat. Not gonna lie, I'm more than a little bit jealous. That sucks. I have a fedex package that was supposed to be here two days ago; they apparently gave up and gave it to the USPS? Fine by me; my mail office is pretty good, but dang. Isn’t it your drat job to mail packages? Sucks because I actually have another, later order from the same place and they again used FedEx. Who suck.

There’s a couple of words he says nonstop but w/e, he explains his reasoning well and the rating system is a decent barometer of whether I’d like a kit or not. I also enjoy how he has a ton of enthusiasm but also casts shade constantly.

I fee you. Red always seems better for me about that than blue. Blue is the worst.

I preordered the F90 on gundamplanet because they said June release and I’m still looking forward to it! Though honestly so long as it gets here before the rocket derp pack, I’ll be happy.

See you folks on the other side. I'll let you know what God has to say after I come down from the mountain. I put off decals for the same reason, so I feel you. Of course when I open up the instructions and all that I realize I only actually want to place like, a tenth of the ones it comes with.
