zoids wild #12 death rex

the motorized ones i can understand costing a lot more, but some of them, idk

like almost 20 years ago, give or take a year or two, i had a motorized zoid kit, and i wish i could remember anything about it, but it was huge and took like d batteries. it moved and made sounds.

i got it as a gift from my grandma when i was visiting them in florida, and that's where it stayed. looking back it was a weird gift to give someone who is just visiting and can't really take a massive box back with them, or the completed thing, back on a plane

i wonder if i can figure out what it was just to see what it's even worth these days

lately it's become very difficult to access dalongs website. idk if it's an issue on my end or what

i really want some zoids but they're really expensive for some reason

i also saw that, but i think the liger x magnamalow looks better to me (why does it require a battery, it doesn't say it lights or or does anything)

i only learned of it when i checked the recent email they sent out about the list of reprints happening

ball reprint!

aegis knights supposed to come with stickers but i don't seem to have any in here

immortal (?) justice

it's either infinite or immortal idk which they're too similar and i have not ever cared about justice gundam in any form

this one looks cooler, at least, which helped, but it still took a month

im okay with it now

and a tray to keep the files since I've apparently lost one in this mess

i made it long instead of square

i don't like it

i feel like it's time to edit my little storage things on the table, but i can't figure out what i'd even want to change. i've made notice of what i use and tend to not use, but i'm unsure how to change anything and i cannot verbalize what i'm trying to mean

so, the spot i keep the sanding sticks in the main like, unit. i don't use them hardly ever, so i don't really need them at fingers reach. what i do use a lot is the markers, and while i could redesign a place to put the pour type ones and maybe redesign it to also store like, the files, i could just...take the sanding sticks out, and put the markers in their spot. they fit just fine

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/3f14300e.jpg

i also chew on them, apparently, but like i don't need to really change anything, but i feel like i do but i don't know what i'd want

okay so the sold separately only black pour marker is batshit insane

it's like different ink, ink with velocity

and the armored core suits!

yoooo

this is just clear nail polish

funnily enough it was cheaper to order some deluxe bottle of cement and a black pour marker, and pay for shipping, from newtype, than just getting the basic bottle of cement and marker with free shipping from amazon

strangest thing to me for some reason

i think it's possible to fix

i don't quite know how i want to do that with, but it's a chunky enough piece with a decent amount of surface area

first casualty in a long, long time. fortunately it's the back of a thigh, but still.

sdex destiny

and pour type you just give a line or a corner a little tippy tap and the ink just zoops and panels itself

i really don't get it.

i get it now

i'm still ignoring that cleaner one and just cleaning up with a sponge like i always do

but these? these are nice, they make some things real easy. gallantmons shield lettering really was the thing i needed the most to make me go "i get it". just three or four little dabs and it's paneled. and yeah, some are a little messy, but they would have been messier if i tried to manually line them, i guarantee it

i got those pouring markers and i don't

they don't seem to be doing what i've seen them do in videos

i really don't get it. i'm supposed to tidy it up with the eraser, but it just does what it says, and fully erases the panel too. i'm just dabbing it on a qtip

the clear parts are very much not great, they're the ones i've had the most issues with every time

hg destroy gundam is coming sooooooooon

i've found the fucker

i have made a series of really stupid mistakes, which resulted in the end of my, apparently only, black gundam marker

so the stickers with this thing suck. i'm at the helmet, having done everything but weapon and chest

and the face is two stickers for the permet lines, okay, but they suck, and this is also a round thing that has etching gaps so it's just a mess. i had the idea to dab a little bit of clear nail polish on it and then try and get the sticker to stick that way, and it ended up not working, because of course it wouldn't

anyways, so i decided to ditch the stickers i would just color it in, in black.

so i washed off the piece, gave it a 99 isoalch bath for a bit to dissolve the nail polish

apparently it did not dissolve all of it, and when i went to color it in after drying for a few seconds since it's alcohol and dries fast. it looked dried and fine. then i went to panel it and it just wasn't going, because apparently the alcohol didn't do shit to the polish in the nooks n crannies, so i ended up just sealing the marker. i can probably fix it by dipping into acetone but i don't really think i care all that much

i don't intend to panel this, but if i decided to change my mind i at least wanted to have the head done because that's usually the hardest for me after it's built, but i am stupid, so

so the paper said that c1 15 should be c1 16 and vise versa

but they're identical symmetrical pieces

oh, wait, no, there's a little bit thats longer on each one

okay yeah this is not great

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/76ada682.jpg

idk why i said we it's just me

never had to assemble the runner before

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/25df2d42.jpg

we're starting fake-jiu now.

hg rising freedom

what's the difference then

also

currently in the midst of sticker hell

if i want to just like, blast my dude with some goo and make him shiny, what like

what is the difference between mr top coat, mr super clear, ect

they all seem to be the same thing but they all have slightly different names and it's very confusing to me

knockoff jiu arrived

the molding looks fairly decent to my eye, but i never took any runner out of the plastic and inspected it closer. there's a little tiny piece of paper, in all chinese, that i'm assuming is telling me that two pieces on the runners numbers should be switched, but that's not really an issue.

taking a look at the instructions, and it's just a carbon copy of the official jiu ones. i looked up the official one, and only difference is the cover, and the part of the page that is like "here's all the legal, use nippers, here's the runners in the box for reference" aren't there. the sticker sheet looks fairly dull, but there is also a bigass waterslide sheet, as well as a generic action base 6 complete with little tiny itty bitty screwdriver

so these stickers are going to be for the wings, sure

i wonder why they didn't just color separate them

i changed my lighting situation around and now whenever i use the xacto knife i get eye blasted from reflections. i wonder if they make any black craft knife blades that are worth a damn

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/133f6b0b.jpg

it's not-lego!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a05cf7c3.jpg

the stickers are many, you could build an entire sd with these and have stickers leftover

also two bonus loose pieces, one of which I still can't find on any runner, but I think might be related to the knees

not related to the knees

well i am less excited for the new force impulse rg, its the same as the one from a few years ago but slightly different colors

boo.

it's glorious

aside from the funnels, i'm not entirely positive i would say this is a fake nu

it's just like

different nu, nu-alt

well it certainly looks goofy as hell

i don't know if i've done all i need to do to use the other stuff

alus earthtree has been chosen

i really was just gonna use that other core kit i got, and just get the little arm extension things second hand from somewhere, but then i saw alus earthtrees head, and well

i wanted the head

https://imgur.com/AGpCPsZ

i don't think it's possible to get the anime pose, because the blades just don't have the freedom of being drawn to do whatever

edit: i changed the wings. it's better

https://imgur.com/UPcxvSk

i had to put blutack on the back of the bottom of the stand, because it's front heavy and wanted to tip over with little effort. i hope it's good enough, because where this guy fits, is only the top shelf, and it's a long, 7 foot drop to the hard floor.

i thought i has been building both wings at the same time

but no, it was just one, and my hand hurts from holding these thin little blades

oh my god these wings are making my left hand cramp something pierce to panel

yeah that's not been my experience

they just ain't workin out for me much

i don't think i like single bladed ones, idk, i just can't get used to them very good

also the new seed kits are finally showing up in shops, i might add the freedom to the backlog

every pair of tamiyas i've gotten has not been as good as the first pair i ever got

they all just seem to be progressively worse than the last

the replacement pair for the pair that ups just straight up lost are uh

https://i.imgur.com/BeFtxTK.png

well not usable really.

knockoff lfrith jiu dropped

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c324ce50.jpg

if anything, i just hope i can make the arm thing, i don't care about the suit itself as much, my expectations are going to be very low regardless
