Bandai actually used to be really good about this way back in the day. The side of the box had a decently sized photo of a fully painted kit, and then an unpainted and unstickered one. Usually it was just a reason to sigh heavily at the amount of work you were about to undertake.

Stay strong and pick yourself up brother. I've been trying to motivate myself to start on a kit for literally an entire month, but failed every day. I kept telling myself I was just tired from work, but now that I'm quarantined, I have no more excuses. Either tonight, tomorrow, or even the next day, I'm going to post a pic of my progress, and you're going to do the same, alright? We can do this, you and me.

Finished my first build, and I guess its decent enough. After the decals and taking pictures it was obvious I needed to work on it before decaling, so now I'm painfully disassembling it so that they don't fall off and dealing with imperfections. Was a great experience, and I'm going for the Full Burnern RG for something more classic and sturdier afterwards.

Just FYI, RG Full Burnern (and base GP-01) both have a flaw in that their core fighter gimmick causes their waists to detach really easily. It's not a dealbreaker in my opinion, but just thought I'd let you know, it's not so "sturdy."

the iwata eclipse is the go-to solid airbrush if you're serious about it, kinda expensive though but it's nice if you only want to use a single airbrush. it primes, it does accurate shading and it paints evenly.
there's some cheaper options though and you can kinda swap around nozzles and needles between some airbrushes(like putting iwata nozzles on cheap airbrushes)
get a nice compressor as well, it's worth it.

That's a load of BS.

Airbrush body needs to be machined a certain way to accept Eclipse's nozzle and so far I haven't seen a chinese airbrush with compatible construction.
As for higher end Iwatas, the difference in machining is so hilarious, even if you did manage to screw the nozzle on you would need an o-ring that Iwatas don't have and with it the alignment would be off so you won't actually gain anything in quality. Not to mention the needle+nozzle for high end Iwata would cost way more than the chink airbrush.

The only possibility is Neo nozzle+needle but since Neo is chinese made to begin with the gains in quality would be marginal if any.

Better control of the spray (so you can draw nicer lines), better atomization (so you can paint nicer shades and not waste paint).

Quality becomes more important the smaller your needle gets. I would argue that you would not notice a difference between 0.5mm Iwata and 0.5mm no name chinese airbrush, but boy will you notice a difference between anything chinese 0.2mm and 0.2mm Iwata Hi-Performance+.

Typical 200mm case fan would have around 100-120 CFM at max, or 170-200 cubic metres per hour. Is it enough for little paint booth? I think so. Is this worth to pay a little CFM and static pressure from kitchen fan for 15-20 dBA less noise and ten dollars for another fan? You tell me.

Depends on distance from fan intake, anything less than few cm hit the performance pretty hard, but thats true for any kind of propeller fan. There is no reason to put filter so close anyway. Also, Tamiya Booth II, with 120 m3/h for 200$, fucking hell.

>Complexity of Zoids

To be fair, some of their engineering and set up is more fiddly than anything bandai does. Overly tight joints, very very tight tolerances, thin or fragile pieces, etc. There was a piston set up with one that I remember having to sit there with tweezers, very delicately putting parts together because if a piece slipped just a little it wouldn't fit.

If your average customer is a HG snapbuilder, its a pretty big jump in complexity and likely the owner told you that because he's had complaints. I mean, have you ever seen the reviews for Gundam model kits on like...amazon? Half of them are one star reviews bitching about how they have to put it together. I give the general public no credit.

You know how I know you've never built a booth, never been near a booth and your entire "theory" is just a pseudo-intellectual wank-off?

You are not considering the spray. You're spraying into the booth, the spray hits the back of the booth (filter or no filter) and flies right out. Now your fan needs to be strong enough to suck everything back in and out before it has a chance to diffuse throughout the room (and then your fan would take hours to suck out the volume of the room).
From experience you need around 500cfm to accomplish that and the funny part is, the size of the booth doesn't matter. How much you are spraying does. Heck, if your fan is powerful enough you don't even need a booth as long as you are spraying in the general direction of the fan (pic related).

a case fan regardless of blade size will not have the pressure to pull through any sort of plenum. I literally used an old corsair fan when I started, paint still came back at my face

the type of booth you build depends on what paint you intend to use. honestly acrylic does not need a booth with an exhaust if you don't need to catch the over spray. i.e. in a bathroom, just wear a mask and paint against some cardboard or some shit. btw overspray will happen regardless of where you aim the airbrush.

if you want to spray lacquer you should overcompensate because if you screw this up you will literally suffocate yourself even with a respirator. it helps with venting a room out afterward because as parts dry they still emit fumes

Are any of you familiar with the Paroden kits?
I had one of those back in the day but it got destroyed in an accident and now I can't remember which one it was. Can you guys help me?
All I remember was that the legs and the helmet had a design similar to pic related and that it was yellow and gold.

I'm also suspecting it was a bootleg since I haven't found a kit with a similar design in those colors, I'm pretty sure it wasn't Wataru's Ryuseimaru/Hoshimaru, and an exclusive kit had no business being sold for about 4 dollars on my backwater country.

15 min? No. If it doesn't take hold in under 5 minutes, its not going to stick.

Cut the decal, soak it in water for 10 - 30 sec, place it on the model, slide the back off, use a qtip to dip away the water.

I bought one of those for like 60 bucks on ebay last year. Fucked up the painting came out blotchy, Sort of thinking of removing it, or even trying to resin cast it. But I used liquid cement on the seamlines.

I've seen a much better 1/144 resin kit, but those shits can be harder to find than LMs. Fucking Bandai, LM is such a gay concept. The grunts from Wing and X should have just been normal releases.

Yeah, they're just on there with two pegs. The horns have 4 peg holes on them, so you could have them bare or completely cover them in guns or whatever you like. The horns can also move around A LOT. Like they can rotate down to be level with the ground, and even scissor in like a giant pair of pincers.

There is no difference in compressors for beginner vs experienced. If you can afford a good brand, get it, it will last you a lifetime. If you can't, get anything rated for airbrush use and replace it when it dies.

Well, looks like it actually worked.
Shit was drying kinda rubbery and I expected it to peel and suck in all kinds of ways but it really didn't. After 24hr the coat was hard as stone (which it sort of is, there is pumice in it) and it was decently sandable and it should take paint okay (to be confirmed tomorrow). I'm quite impressed.

Also, Zoids do reissues in waves, so just be patient. Most will come back around. Or if you're impatient, just buy off Amazon, there are some pretty decently priced ones there considering they're free shipping (HMM boxes are huge so they cost a lot to ship from Japan).

For me, the hardest part is just finding motivation to build. My backlog is huge, but depression is a motherfucker.

Today I built Nobel Gundam and I consider it a victory that I completed it and didn't leave half for "another day." Those "another days" often never happen, so I have a lot of half-finished kits lying around. Tomorrow I'm going to try to step it up to a RE/100. Then maybe a Hexa Gear kit the next day if I can keep this energy up.

Sorry o hear you're depressed anon. Maybe there's something else you can do? I just love putting things together so when I have something to build I have to actively stop myself from just sitting down and working on it from start to finish without doing anything else. I haven't built anything since I got my Full Mechanics Lupus Rex in the mail like five months ago. I've had the itch for a while and finally broke down and ordered some stuff. I should hopefully be getting myself a Jesta and that Kojima anime girl tomorrow. Don't really know which one I'll be opening first.

Maybe you can find something tangentially related, but not plamo to sort of get a fresh set of stuff in your head?

How I topcoat the RG unicorn? Can I do it while in Unicorn mode without affecting the clear parts? I'm afraid to take the parts out because some of them are broken and glued due to the panel wash

I was thinking of doing it while in unicorn mode and then take the single parts not covered and do another hand of coat while masking the rest

I sometimes wonder if Dalong even enjoys what he does anymore or if it's just like a job. From running a toy review blog for a few years, I know it can be hugely tiring to take, edit, and upload a full review's worth of photos. And that's on top of full manual scans for each kit, too. That's a ton of work and I'm still amazed he manages to keep doing it.

The day he dies or quits, the Gunpla community will lose a incredibly valuable resource.

The crabbo will do. It has at least one unofficial build (this weird dragon-esque thing) and a lot of room for partswapping (tons of pegholes, tons of legs, and there are quite a few spare parts left over after you're done building to play around with).

If you can manage it, I would also buy one or two MSG weapons sets that look like they have a lot of modularity, those tend to mix well with Hexa Gear.

At its very simplest, all you need is to use wire to connect the anode and cathode (those long wire bits) on the led to the proper terminals (+ and -) on a battery. That will light the LED. But that's sort of a hassle and requires you to connect and disconnect the wires to turn it on and off, so a lot of people like to install a switch, which will let you turn the LED on and off without disassembling the kit each time. Which is essentially the same idea, just with one extra step in the middle.

In a setup like this, you would solder the wires to the appropriate places, then hollow out some space somewhere in the kit to hide the battery, wires, and switch. For some kits that are too small/filled internally to fit this stuff, I have seen people run the wires out to a dedicated stand that contains the battery and switch.

Also, this pic is just an example, you're going to be using a much smaller battery of course.

What? Can I assume this means the same as gold plastic syndrome, ie, they'll eventually crumble in my hands? I've honestly never heard of silver plastic doing this, and even the problem with gold plastic was fixed many years ago.

Also, I've owned the OG Mazinkaiser kit since release and it's still fine. Actually was a super fun kit too.

Question about sanding. I have a few sticks and I always go from coarsest to finest, but, even though the plastic feels completely smooth, there are still small scratches over the surface that just don't seem to buff out. They're really only noticeable if you look close and the light is at the right angle. Is that to be expected after sanding, or is something wrong with my technique?

You think I could get a set of Moon Gundam Psycho plates and the connected pieces without The rest of the kit? I'm interested in the Varguil, I like its look better than the Moon, but I want those psycho plates.

I own Liger as well and it's rad. I sort of even prefer it to the original Mazinkaiser, it's less fiddly to pose without the wings and has a nice compact design. It has also held up perfectly even though it has gold plastic (and one silver plastic part).

...and the pic I'm posting here shows the stickered parts in blue. It's not that bad really, they handled all the fine paintwork and left the easymode stuff for stickers. Anyone with a few metallic sharpies and a relatively steady hand should have no problems.

Get something thin. Sakura markers are a common choice if you don't want to get the official Gundam markers. Personally I used to use Real Touch markers a lot because the stiff brush tip was easier to get into certain places.

It's not really hard. Just run the pen along panel lines. If you make a mistake or have excess ink, just swab it away with a q-tip before it dries.

Just one thing to be mindful of is decide wether or not you are seam welding any parts BEFORE panel lining. Sometimes panel lining results in some ink extending into the seams without realizing it and the seam weld ends up with discolored plastic that you can't just sand away.

Of course if you were planning on paint, this point is a non issue.

If they've done it right (and I want to have faith that they have), it'll be molded in that dark grey/black plastic, and the line between the silver and gold will actually be recessed, like a panel line. If they do it like that, you can turn your marker at an angle at that edge, and pretty easily make a clean line without touching the other side. I've done it on many kits that were designed like I've described, and it's not hard at all.

If you're spraying, that's still not too bad, as masking should be simple with a panel line to run up against.

Look at the prototype. There is a clear panel line separating the gold and silver areas. Maybe this got lost a little under the paint on the Riobot, or maybe the mold was modified a little to make it easier on modelers. Either way, the line is there.

Metallic Sharpies work well for the most part. They don't slop out paint unexpectedly like some paint pens do, and their sharp bullet tip is easier to navigate into small spaces than the large blunt bullets or chisel tips seen in many paint markers. So I tend to use the Sharpies for precise work.

I do have a bunch of paint pens too though (by Pilot, Sakura, Tombow, Molotow, etc), as certain brands give a nicer shine than Sharpies. You just need to be aware of the right time to use each one.
