The Wing Zero Honoo is seriously a great kit. It feels really solid and can do a good number of poses. The legs can't do a full 180 though, but that's fine.

Holy shit what is with Kampferfags of late? Is it just me or does it seem like they're a lot more vocal now?

Side question unrelated, how do you paint on main cameras?

this is probably a shitter questions, but if I wet sanded a part and now it has a gross white cloudy/pastey look on the surface that won't wash off. Any idea how ot fix this?

I swear Bawoo has the most inconsistent design of any mobile suit. Even the RX-78's own redesigns don't look as drastically different as Bawoo does from any given artist working on it.

Gonna start my first painting work on an inner frame, but I'm a bit confused by peoples' conflicting advice on paints. Using Tamiya or Duplicolor primer on it shouldn't damage the ABS as much, right? Should I be using Vallejo or Tamiya for the actual painting?

Mere straight build mortal here, would it be criminally stupid if I tried painting some parts of my kits with a Sakura Micron rather than usual paint?

It's "Version Katoki". As in this is Katoki's version of the design and he decided it should have full body psychoframe. There's nothing more to it past that. It isn't the new official canon or anything, just Katoki's interpretation.

Ok, so I intend to buy HGUC Kshatriya, not RD Kshatriya.
I'm hesitating only beacuse of those damn funnel effects.
From what I know, you can bend acrylic pipes/tubes/rods for the same effect, however I'm more curious about those blue parts(proper ,,effect" parts). Is there a way for them to be translucent? I.e I'm not interested ,,buy some green stuff/poxilina and paint it blue"

Anyone have feedback on the lbx kits? There are a few designs i wouldnt mind having on my desk to mess around with.

>>14662595

They are really simple to build and look pretty neat, but there's a lot of stickers involved.

>>14662599
Could it be solved with paint or is it one of those things like gundam eyes where you would really want the sticker?

>>14662288
It's one of the good ones

>>14662610

A little of both. Some are for panels displaying circuitry or patterns you couldn't really paint, and those look ok. Most of the color stickers are for trim, which you can paint although the stickers don't look too bad on most of them.

Also those kits are interesting in that they were designed 4 babbys, so it's all super undergated so you can simply tear them off the runners. I clipped and denubbed them the old fashioned way anyway, but it makes for an easy build.

>>14661690
So are those good for organic and particulate then?

>>14662755
Nice try.

>>14662755
its clearly a rx-78 casval custom

Was the Unicorn A1 kit any good? I heard that it had some problems and they did a recall

I have been morbidly curious recently about the HG G-Saviour Space Mode. The more I look at pics and videos of it the more I'm disgusted by it and hate it, but also somehow want it.

I keep thinking of ways to improve it, like removing the retarded back file folders, changing up the skirt armor, switching the knockoff GP03 hip thrusters with swords or axes or something, switching the shoulders with different pauldrons, etc. But then I get frustrated at the whole thing and give up, only to do it all over again later.

>>14662311
Well, Ver. Ka typically is year end release right?, not counting the Full Armor I suppose. While the V2 ver ka and Origin followed very closely, it's worrying that there was 7 MGs last year and perhaps only 3 this year. 6 per year seems the best

>>14662238
they want to do the Bawoo for the Rebawoo since they fucked badly with the HGUC. It's a very popular design

>>14662852
They're Unicorn novel colors. The other version of the kit is TV colors.

>>14662755
Don't you dare act like that wouldn't be the best thing ever.

There is no definitive design for a specific character in Gunpla. They are all stylistic interpretations.

That is why we get heaps of RX-78s.

It has spindly hip joints that WILL break. Always. 100% of the time. God this kit is annoying. And the lack of surface detail is really sad. Show-accurate, sure, but I don't want a model machine that looks like it was made by minimum wage Japanese students in the 70s.

Have you ever just given up and sprayed something matte black because shit was just taking too long?

Should I be using plastic cement and/or putty outside?

The general rule of building models I've learned is that everything kills you so I might as well be sure I'm not poisoning myself with those too.

If I buy an airbrush, will I still have to buy cans of primer?

Because buying cans of primer, and gloss/matte coats is a huge expensive pain.

Limonene cements are safer than regular plastic cement because limonene is an organic polystyrene solvent and is naturally found in citrus fruits, but it can take longer than regular plastic cements to bond. I hear that Tamiya actually makes an extra thin version of their limonene cement, but I've never seen it sold anywhere. It also smells like oranges.

But otherwise yeah, assuming everything will kill you is a relatively good assumption to make, and always have good ventilation when working with solvents and paints.
