the wrists on this is absolutely awful, you want to take a hand off and it explodes because those pieces are just shittily floating

i don't know if i cut something i wasn't supposed to on accident or what, but it's shit and i can't even really glue or tack it because they need to move

If it's like some of the other early RGs, that piece is a pain but it is supposed to be "loose" like that

Almost lost the ones on my Destiny like 7 times

v sturdy tho

this backpack is a pain to panel. it seems easy, but man there's just an awful lot

i made the mistake of paneling this part of it after it was assembled, and for the other one i will be paneling as i build, because there's so many little nooks and crannies on these things and i can't really even get a little cotton swab in there very well to rub off mistakes

i've got some questions

this guy has a weak waist too, which could just be more due to the backpack, but also weak shoulders, it can't even hold the shield or gun up

annoying, and i will likely never actually do anything to fix that unfortunately, i just started disliking this guy as soon as i put the backpack on. not really sure why, but it's just, idk

anyways, i don't think i ever actually posted the final image of raiser

did that fuckin piece fall off with me never noticing

that's definitely gone forever then because its been up there for a while...

Whoopsie!

nope, it's still there. lighting just hides it

it really does look like it's just not there in that one image though

You should dry brush the edges

absolutely not

You have no confidence in your skills. It's not like I'm asking you to edge highlight, young grasshopper

no, i just hate how it looks

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/6/5/AAFUswAAEaXV.jpg
Dry brushing is a must on hands and inner frame bits

yeah, see, that looks gross to me. it looks dirty and scuffed and flat, don't like it, not for me

is that a banshee norn leg

The Crossbone. Whenever it shows up on in a game I hope it brought along an F91.

time for real jank

ah, okay, so this

i did exactly 1 foot and then i built a not lego lego set

then i spilled acetone on my pad and it got all gross and fludgy

i'll probably resume today

ok i did one leg

this thing is layers on layers on layers and then it's all...covered up

Here is true Gunpla

paneling the fuckin leg and i go to bend it a little and something is obviously not where it should be

...i think. this things whole transforming on frame, uh, frame, is very odd to me

Sounds about right

Been doing a lot of painting lately but not taken any pics because it's mostly just random outer armor bits for now

whatever i do after zeta will probably just be regular hg's because i'm due for just some mindless easier builds, or i might look into non-gundam kits

I did a Kotobukiya Medabots kit that was pretty nice but a lot of polycaps

i'm not really understanding of the hatred for polycaps

they seem fine? idk

They get the job done TBH

Supposedly they can wear down a little over time or loosen up cuz of the softer material

Similar complaints about the ABS pre-molded RG joints

my rg astrays ankles have definitely gotten weaker, yeah

look at those cheap zaku omg

The Revive HG Zakus are good shit

i've spent a lot of money...

i'm not entirely sure...why it wants me to put the head on the waist

how does the head go from down here
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/1/3/AAeEKDAAEbKF.jpg

to up here

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/1/4/AAeEKDAAEbKG.jpg

it literally has me putting it on the codpiece

oh wow they made the v fin needlessly complicated and somehow more fragile

i broke the red emblem bit. it was so confusing and so paper thin. not even sure how i could glue it in because the v fin needs to scissor around

i'm not convinced that anyone from bandai actually tried building this fuckin thing

it exploded. lots of things are broken.

can y'all recommend me a gunpla? I like the Front Mission thicc boys

those first two look right out of Front Mission, nice

to be fair, i typed in front mission in their search and it was the only result, aside from accessories

:D

That Revernova kinda reminds me of the Leo.

I'm more salty that sizable gunpla is so much cheaper than warhammer

getting your own warhammer minis 3d printed is cheaper than warhammer figures

Gotta create your own units out of milliput and Green Stuff

so yeah, i just ended up buying a bunch of hg's

I am Heavy Weapons Guy

i'm so scared to touch this thing, it's a hand grenade

this part that looked like it was supposed to move

was in fact not meant to move

mistakes were made

praise for tacky glue
