nice, i got the first lupat kits when they came out.

the kibble can sort of swing out which is how he's able to hold his weapon at all, it just doesn't move that far out of the way

the fact that it can perfect transform is great, but when you bisect the guy inside you can really start posing.

Mk II still holds up well, Z'Gok is a fun little dude even if the limbs can get a bit floopy, the SEED ones are generally okay if a little fiddly. Anything designed from the Tallgeese onward is solid, that's when they turned into mini-MGs.
Unicorn is basically an engineering miracle.

Now I'm just hoping that she arrives before May, because I still want to buy clothing for her and I need measurements for that (just looking for "1/12 scale doll clothing" is way too nebulous for my liking).

Babby's first silicone mold. Still a decent amount of bubbles coming out in the vacuum chamber after almost an hour, I'm kind of concerned that I fucked up somewhere but I guess I'll accept the consequences of this being a first time attempt. I'm hoping the bubbles will stop sooner rather than later since this is 30A silicone that's supposed to set in 5 hours at this temperature, might take a bit longer since it's winter.

Why? Shit's usually more expensive and bubble-prone.

>bubbles coming out in the vacuum chamber after almost an hour
If you didn't mix it with a kitchen mixer or something all the bubbles should be gone within a few minutes. I think the longest I ever ran my vacuum chamber for was 15 min. Next time get a proper silicone and read the instructions.

It was the cheapest 30A I could find on Amazon at the time, and it seemed like it would be a good idea to be able to see the resin inside. Maybe I made the wrong decision in buying 30A silicone, but from my research I thought it would be the best for making resin casts of Gunpla parts.

30A is just hardness, it doesn't tell you much of anything.

My pic related >>11693921 is also 30A (https://www.smooth-on.com/products/mold-max-30/), but the important numbers for mold making are actually viscosity (should be low enough to degas easily) and tear/tensile strength (if you plan to use the mold more than once). And as usual, buying the cheapest of anything gets you what you pay for.

I recently got a set of stedi glass files and I'm having a tough time using them.
Previously, I only used dpspiae's glass files, and those were fairly simple to use, but I got these because they have the same "omnidirectional" design as the gunprimer raser. Not that I'm expecting these cheap ones to be as good, mind you.
The problem is that I often end up leaving some very noticeable scratches around the area rather than a clean and smooth finish. Sure, the nub marks are gone, but I end up having to sand down the piece to get rid of the scratches anyways. On top of that, there's times when the scratches are "regular" (they all look the same) and they're easy to remove by just doing a quick pass with the file, times when they're "irregular" and I need to sand them down, and times when everything is smooth and perfect and ten times better than if I used the dspiae files. Then I try to replicate what I did, and end up with one of the two flawed scenarios.
How the fuck am I supposed to use these things? They make me feel retarded.

All that said, traditional resin casting is kinda last century, 3D scanner/printer is the way of the future.
I threw out my expired resin and silicone last year and probably won't be buying more.

>How nasty/volatile is the solvent in panel liner?
Solvent based panel liners depend on the plastic mainly, ABS is very volatile and will disintegrate, PS is much more resistant and something like tamiya accent liner will usually dry out before it can do serious damage. Both the manual and runners will tell you what type of plastic they are. It's usually recommended to panel line while the parts are still on the runner to avoid stress cracking due to assembly.

Alternatively, how do you guys feel about panel lining with Gundam markers?
The gundam marker pens are fine, really. I wish they were thinner sometimes, as it's hard to get into little spots with them, but they work. And they're water-based iirc, so completely safe. An alternative is the pour-type markers, which are much less caustic than accent liner (still obliterates ABS though) and are very very easy to use.

Just finished my first kit. I might try lining or painting one in the future but the construction is really the appeal for me. Gotta say that it's pretty back heavy with the wings and weapons, kind of hard to pose it without it tipping backwards. I suppose MGs and RGs are probably better in that regard?

So I just finished Infinite Justice and I'm waiting for a base to arrive since it didn't include one as I mistakenly thought. MGEX had one and I thought every mg did.
IJ is difficult to pose without a base to say the least. The thing crumbles under its own weight, the ankles don't seem steady at all. The beam sabers at the waist keep falling off and it's difficult to hold the rifle too it seems.
I know it's an old kit but building it wasn't as fun as MGEX. I'll probably build Buster or Duel next. Wife painted Athrun as well!
