I'm curious why they say that

also, keep in mind I don't plan to do a paintjob, I don't even have an airbrush and I think the light blue color the model comes molded in is quite eye catching already
if anything, Im just painting the visible areas of the inner frame with metallic black and small details, like the back of the skirt armors, but this will be almost an out of the box build

the main challenge so far was the frontal skirt armors with the engraved runes: they are attached to the waist with glue through a very small frame piece you also glue on their back and the contact area is very small so even after the glue is dry, the parts feel flimsy at best

Well how about you plan on having Duster Gundam visit that shelf this week buddy
And I get what you mean, I got the HG anyway, and there's nothing wrong with it apart from Fuunsaiki's back legs being made solely for one pose, but I wish Master Gundam at least came with fists, and I'm used to the retarded level of articulation that RG God Gundam has (even though I don't pose him, because it's too many moving parts and I don't want to break him). Got myself the HG Shining in case the RG was missing effect parts, so I could either turn it into a Rising if I get the RG or just stick with the HG if the RG sucks ass.
>everything looks great apart from the lack of a Shining Finger Sword which I have from the HG, but the RG Shining is larger than RG God

Come hang out on Twitch Gunpla streams. It's a great community. Look under the Miniatures and Models category.
I know
>inb4 twitch
but for real, it's been a godsend for me and the people are great. It's nice to interact with people in the same niche.
Look for local build nights too.
Also, even if you don't feel like it, you deserve love. (unless you're a total piece of shit but I doubt that)

Armored Core. Gonna ride off this tangent to talk about >>11605798. I got the CR-C840/UL and Jack-O's ACs this NYCC with no Gunpla experience whatsoever. I will say it's a little explode-y, some pieces need to be viced down to stay but other than that things are going smooth. I only had to stop and find two pieces so far since they fell off, I'm up to the feet with the legs assembled since that pic.

Meant to add to this. Also these are probably the reproductions so they're probably better to assemble than the originals. Still want a Dual Face and CR-C98E2 Nine Ball.

Alright, the guide mentions not to seam weld parts with polycaps and moving pieces and such. But would it be alright here with just a static peg?

Why not? You can seam weld anything you can put your mind to. The guide is not a dogma.

Zugock arm in pic related had a bunch of polycaps in it and all the claws were still moving after I seam welded its halves.

NTA but it depends on what kit the KO is based on. if its a KO of an out-of-print kit? yeah just paint on the KO for a test paint. If im gonna waste plastic, let it be chinese plastic. at the end of the day those KO are more of a fitting issue than a painting issue

What do you need an exact copy of a specific kit for for a "test paint"? Chances are there won't be any unique techniques that apply ONLY to that kit, and if you just want to test your color choices, any random bit of plastic will do. Practicing on knockoffs is valid if you wanna get into resin, but with plastic I don't really see the point.
