Just another white guy with a hobby. Specifically, #gunpla Stream:
Ok, chat, should I spend time painting Tiny Amuro for the Nu Gundam, or just stick him in the cockpit like everybody else and get on with it?
Freshly-built pair of new Nu Gundam legs I was worried about the extending sections being fiddly, but the tabs holding them up seem to do the job We’ll see if they handle the full weight of the entire build later, though
Day 86: Finally got some progress in. Between work, moving, and my wife’s numerous medical emergencies, it’s been a long time, but I’m gonna focus on the fact that I’ve actually gotten something done instead of the fact that it’s been SIX FUCKING MONTHS AAAAAAHHHHHHH I’m just fine, why do you ask?
By the way, I’ve started on the Nu Gundam Ver Ka, and look at how fuckin’ big the feet are lmao
This is honestly the coolest shield in the franchise to me Cosmic Era can keep their Swiss Army Knife shields with 8 different weapons and tools stapled together, this thing is sleek as hell and just as functional
Also, while you’re supposed to use a stand for it, this kit can hold the combined sword without much issue if you put it in the right pose
Gunpla complete! MG Gundam 00 Qan[T] is as done as it’s gonna get for now. Some day I’m gonna go back into the head to make those damn eyes shine properly, though A very nice build with good articulation, although I would like the forearm connection for the sword to be a tad tighter
My wife got sick two days ago, so I’ve had to take care of her, but she was asleep for a couple hours today, and I finally had time to relearn Blender Still gonna be difficult to find time for it, but at least now I can get things done on the Bertigo again Qan[T] gunpla pics will be taken tonight
As it happens, I do know what you’re talking about, thanks to a post I saw after Dynazenon’s debut Back in the 90’s, one of the various production companies wanted to do a localization of Ultraman, but couldn’t get the copyright, so they made this instead:
For anyone wondering, the correct way to deal with a eugenicist is to say “Thank you for volunteering!” and then follow these instructions:
Yamask here, I would say is as close to Rau as it gets The mask is its own face from when it was human, and it will sometimes look at the mask and cry to itself
“Minimum wage is just fine where it is! In my day, I woulda been over the moon for $7.25/hour!” Joe, the walk-in fridge is getting paid more than you
Pick a Bond from photos you already have in your phone. 1. Knows how to keep his mouth shut 2. Good with his hands 3. Can keep attention when and where he wants it 4. Ladies’ man
The AGE-2 actually has one of my favorite transformations in all of Gundam, but the locking points on this kit are a bit weaker than I’d like, and it doesn’t hold together well I also will not be putting it back like this, because I do NOT trust those hip connections
Gunpla complete! The MG AGE-2 Dark Hound is shockingly simple for how much it’s got going on, but I do wish certain parts had better connections, like the rear armor pieces for the sides of the torso It poses well, though, and everything has enough motion to not get caught on itself
I’m not big into horror films, but my roommate was watching “Don’t Turn Out the Lights” yesterday and I decided to sit down because I enjoy stories and it was already half-over It’s not a great film, but the creators really know how to scare, because this is one of the most chilling things I’ve seen
And while I did slap that whole plastic titan onto the 00’s back, ain’t no way am I trying to pose it all together, I don’t have that kinda time At least the XN Blades are cool, and while I did a terrible job of it, I’m impressed the 00 can pull off the Obari with the combined sword
The 0 Raiser isn’t quite as sturdy as I’d like, especially at the joints for docking with the 00’s backpack The XN unit, on the other hand, is a brick that disassembles into extra parts to turn the 0 Raiser into a neat imitation of the Ptolemaios 2
The hands on the 00 are especially nice, with separated left/right and up/down pivots, plus a third pivot point in the wrist for that extra angle to pose all the swords properly Also, it comes with the GN particle tanks, in case you’re a lunatic who doesn’t like how the GN Drives look
Gunpla Complete! The 00 Gundam XN Raiser went faster than I expected, given how much it has in the box My only real gripe, aside from better bicep connections, is the side skirts. A single ball joint is not enough to get them out of the way This is also the only kit I have with an LED in it
If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using with no explanation
It’s all about the kneejerk reaction to the post. People who are here looking for funny content are just gonna scroll right by the big posts without even looking, that’s why you see so many posts with shocking or recognizable images on them. Gets that visceral “WTF?” that gets people interested
Haven’t been posting progress pics for the 00 Gundam, but I’m just about done I also decided the the little tails on the 0 Raiser binders were too loose with just the one rotational connector in each, so I made new ones that hold the flaps in position
After months of not having time to deal with setup and cleanup for working on the Bertigo, I have made the Executive Decision to model the sides of the arms for 3D printing The fine-tuning of tolerances will take too long for my liking otherwise
#Gunpla complete! Gundam F90 is probably the best clear color variant I’ve seen, thanks to all of the extra color in the design Usually I’m not a fan of how washed-out the translucence makes a kit look, but the variety gives it the extra pizzazz needed to really look good
