God no. HG, I'm not made of money

Have you ever seen the show? It's actually pretty good, minus some brief child nudity.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Not like.. ALL of them but I have a good chunk of the UC under my belt. I dont build ones I havent seen on screen cause like, what if the show sucks? I dont want merch from bad shows

Darby has great choice! Engage the waverider mode!!

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol, this is my second Zeta kit cause my first build was meh cause I wasn't good at it yet and I lost the V fin. So the old one is going into waverider and the new one will remain cool looking. I'm not big on the waverider or transforming mobile suits

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fair. I enjoy the transforming suits but I will admit that Zeta went nutty with them, a new mobile suit of the week that also flies.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the show I dont mind as much, but would still prefer if they didnt. It kinda sucks for models that they feel like you should be able to build one model into both versions and can make the kit a bit wonky. The more complex zeta kits are notorious for being fragile

The RG amd PG are apparently hand grenades, especially if you attempt to transform it after building. Picking a mode beforehand and sticking to it can make things safer but from what I've heard just cause of the extra joints and stuff needed for the transformation, joints start to loosen and sag cause too many bends holding parts up. Makes me hesitant to get one, but any build can be good and stable with extra work. I can reinforce joints and stuff. It's not the top of my list for buying but eventually I'll get there.

Ive only been doing this since mid December, it just very quickly became An Interest and when I have those I tend to think almost exclusively about it until I get good enough to be satisfied, and then plateau right there. So ive only done HG kits and only ones locally available at stores, which is still 9 kits including 2 redos and 1 in backlog. I wanna grab another MK2 AEUG and paint it into the titan version for my first attempt repainting cause the titan version of the kit is just a recolour anyway. Availability and prices are kinda crap in Canada. There's a Japanese import near me that does more non weeb shit and specializes in Ikibana supplies, I saw on their website that hasn't been updated in years that they did sell gunpla at one point but dont anymore, so I'm gonna talk to the owner and see if I csn get my shit direct from Japan, he has the import hookups

Let me know when he gets cool and builds a Jagd Mirage.

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Wish Bandai made Five Star Stories kits. I refuse to (spray) paint models.

It's fine. I dont think I mentioned it in this post

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm becoming giddy imagining how sharp that knife is.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The pating knife is pretty dull, the exacto knife is sharp but she wont touch it. She's 11 and has never fucked with stuff like that, always been good about stuff on tables

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I assumed that those blocks were a series of whetstones and you were living my fantasy of sharpening knives all day.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 23 hours ago

Sanding sponges. I do sharpen many a knife tho, i'm a cook

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How can she build with no hands or limbs of any sort?
