My chisel heads are on their way back to China now, because I failed to try to intercept it before it got returned to the sender(s). I guess I'll message the vendors and try to give them the actual address to send to. If I have to pay shipping again, so be it.

Just get Gundam markers, which are pretty easy to get in the US. They will have the colors you're looking for, and they cost about the same as other decent paint pen brands anyway, like Posca. Which will also work fine, but probably don't have the color range you're looking for, which leads me back to Gundam markers.

It's cheaper for the seller to repack the contents into a single sturdy shipping box instead of sending the original thin cardboard box, plus padding to protect that box, and then a BIGGER shipping box around all that.
still most aliexpress sellers that do shit like that seem to have a cheaper no-box option and a slightly more expensive with-box option

Wow, you can even claim for shit like that? I've only been claiming serious damage or missing parts, and just accepting stuff like that as the way things are.

So maybe I'm fine just claiming more serious shit.

This made me curious so I went to see how many disputes I filed. It turns out I filed 654 disputes over 9 years I've been using Aliexpress. Now, most of those were for stuff never arriving or missing/broken/wrong kind, but I'm sure a few dozens were for minor damage where I didn't claim full amount (protip: claiming less than full amount for refund increases the probability of said refund). So don't worry Anon, this isn't AmiAmi, they won't ban you unless you repeatedly commit obvious fraud or something.

Aliexpress is not magic. They can't offer cheaper than retail price on legitimate products unless like, they have a huge surplus they're liquidating or something. The lower prices you are seeing are typically unwanted shelfwarmers, or lower-quality bootlegs (off the top of my head only a few WFM ones exist).

the orange one at the timestamp is daiso brand "ほつれ止め液" which translates as anti-fraying liquid. it seems like it's mostly for fabrics and doll clothes
https://jp.daisonet.com/products/4549131717785
the green one earlier in the video is anti-slip liquid, "すべり止め液", which is probably what you want for tightening joints.
https://jp.daisonet.com/products/4549131717792

but the point of the video is that this shit costs only 100 yen, if you have to pay much more than that to import it you should probably just use something available locally. there are plenty of ways to tighten joints.

I don't know what they made plastic of in the ancient times, but that plastic sure isn't a good match for modern plastic cements (and I am not brave enough to unseal that which slept for 4 decades in a little lead tube that came with the kit), so it's better to just treat it as a resin kit and use CA cement everywhere.

The main component-kits themselves-are still relatively manageable for just about anyone. EGs start at like $10 and they're quite good. And as usual, if you're poor in this hobby, spend lots of time working on your skills. A $20 kit can last literally months if you give it the full treatment.

They’ve been going in and out of stock for PO on BBTS for the same price as other retailers last I saw rusty was back in stock and so were the option parts. BBTS is not the best store for 30mm in general, though. HLJ or amiami is usually the best bet. Who knows about these kits? 30mm is a budget line but pretty solid and these AC6 kits look more complex than other kits in the line.

Like the other anon said, 30MM is a beginner-friendly line focusing on easy builds (it's called 30 Minute Missions bc you're supposed to be able to build it in 30 minutes) and part swappability/modularity.

The existing 30MM stuff is alright, it's well-designed for the most part, but they feel dinky and light, and the joints are pretty flimsy feeling. They never really feel good, like they're right on the verge of looseness. I am hoping this will be improved for AC, since they will be a bit larger than usual. And I certainly hope they've designed the joints with enough strength to withstand part swapping and potentially heavier loadouts. Only time will tell.

It's same as other bandai kits. Unless they are specifically calling out the material like limex or ay of their other experimental plastic replacement, there's no difference.

It depends on what it's sawed with: any kind of power tool would fill the air with resin bits, so you would want to protect yourself and extract the air. Hand saws (or resin nippers) do not normally produce particles small enough to float in the air, so they are reasonably safe.

my thought too, real life reflects that by the looks of things but I wanted to make sure I won't be coughing up blood.

I regret buying Gundam artifacts. I thought the idea of a gundam mini was cool but Bandai do not know how to design miniatures. they have really awkward part separation so they require a lot of putty.The joints are dangerously thin and the pegs connecting parts together are often too tight a fit for how small the pieces you're putting together are. I was working on a transparent tall geese and had to give it a dusting with primer so I could remove nubs. was enough to ruin tolerances and need extra force to get the parts glued together as intended. I started cutting the pegs down but thankfully an ankle broke when inserting the leg into the hip. Thank fuck for that being over. I'll sell the others and 3d print small models instead. shrinking gunpla does not work well but Bandai did just that.

Unless the models you have are properly thickened, this will not work well.

They're not. You know how much dust resin makes when you work and it gets every where. Health and safety guidelines haven't changed in decades, so they're likely pretty solid. Which means always use a mask and do it in a place you can clean the dust from after.

If you want a resin allergy or worse be my guest. But don't encourage others to ruin their health because you're too stupid to put on a mask and work in a safe way.

AFAIK cured resin is almost completely harmless, it gets harmful when it's sanded/grinded into fine particles which a manual model saw and knife can't create.

It's not. Stop being stupid. You can read resin safety service from companies selling cured resin and they always say use a mask.

Why would you even argue this point? modelers have worked eith resin for decades. we know the risks.

I am a different anon who has a resin question. I occasionally buy cheap lil resin printed "kits" and since I'm not painting em, I just use my nippers to clip off the flash then snap em together. Is there any danger of harmful-sized particles being created from a pair of nippers?

Seriously asking. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

No. Resin is not some magical miasma-releasing substance. If you cut a piece of it with a knife or a nipper, you just get 2 pieces of it instead of 1.
If you grind or sand or pulverize it into tiny bits, they can get airborne and you can inhale them and then they can possibly stay in your lungs and do damage. But the same can happen if you pulverize metal or plastic or glass or stone. As a rule, don't breathe in dust of any kind and you'll be fine.

I don't own any Tamiya nippers, so I can't speak from experience, but the reason I don't own them is that their blades are on the thicc side, which makes them inferior for cutting plastic (compared to GH anyway), but also makes them capable of cutting resin without breaking. So you should be reasonably safe. Still, for best results it's better to have resin nippers.

Yes there is a risk. You don't "create 2 pieces instead of 1". You do damage to the object which creates dust. So you need to be using a mask. Resin is a lung irritant. any exposure to it can cause lung damage and long term it builds up an allergic reaction and causes cancer.

By cutting it cleanly in 2 pieces via compression? No, that does not create dust.
Try it yourself and maybe you'll stop being irrationally scared of it.

What do you think the filling dentist puts in your tooth is made of? Composite photo-sensitive RESIN! And what does the dentist do to it? He grinds at high speed it with what is basically a Dremel, creating RESIN DUST. Right in your mouth!

Next time you have any fillings done DEMAND A RESPIRATOR!

after looking through ancient websites for a bit.
the general consensus in modelling forums on resin is that it's completely non-toxic in a cured form but dangerous to work with because of the dust you can potentially create, if there isn't dust there's no problem.
