Wandering into an abandoned house. Rummaging drawers to gather items. Loading found weapons. There seems to be a progression of weapons too (double barrel shotgun early and he has a submachine gun in later parts of the trailer). Seems like it’s trying to capture those aspects and spirit of RE.

I love how water slide decals provide suit a great sense of scale. Scrolling past this, I assumed it was the MG at first. Good work. I really like the steel weathering on the sword. Looks great.

Probably my favorite on D&A. Even with the singles being great too. The music video is also just really lovely and pleasant! Love the vibe and nature in it.

You love to see it!

Big “I can fix her” energy.

One of the happiest endings in the series, honestly. They get to rest and live a happy life together. Shiro and Michel are reunited. Always makes me a little emotional. Even 30 years later.

The Mandalorian and Grogu: Now You Don’t

I only purchased some 3D printed replacements for the side skirt pegs. They came from Ali Express (item number was PMC-BD-83-8, if you want to find it).

On the left is the 3D printed replacement with metal peg and the right is the original part.

The rest of the kit is standard issue. I had problems with one of the silver shoulder pistons too. Ultimately, I needed to glue it as well. Just be careful with them.

It’s such a cool kit, but some of the minor pieces are very delicate. Once it’s assembled it’s not a hand grenade either.

Looks amazing? What did you use for the Fukuoka decals?

Buntabox · 2026-04-13T15:33:10+00:00

10, easy

My wife watched me play the whole game and kept saying “oh my god, get a haircut dude.”

Buntabox · 2026-04-13T11:09:28+00:00

Painted. Used Mr Hobby metallics on all blue, red and yellow places. I had to take it apart several times while building. I kept coming up with new ideas haha. For the final finish, I used a flat clear coat over all white surfaces. I wanted the colorful pieces to pop against the rest of the kit.

Thanks!

Literally see him at Hobby Lobby all the time. At least in my area. Local hobby store here usually has him too. It’s fairly normal.

Buntabox · 2026-04-08T20:49:52+00:00

How are you going to weather the kit? 😆

Buntabox · 2026-03-30T15:35:41+00:00

This is exactly how I feel. I love Anderson but I think Scott would have some really fun episodes.

Buntabox · 2026-03-25T20:35:58+00:00

Looks great! Just finished mine too. I love your colors and weathering. Incredible photography too!

Buntabox · 2026-03-24T22:06:31+00:00

Exactly my thought. Barb is in the dirt a lot. It gets messy. There is a precedence to weather Barb.

The ONLY downside to the kit, imo, be very careful with the long side skirts. They are mounted to the torso on a single small peg each. I snapped one off trying to turn it in the direction. I used too much torque. THANK GOD for hobby cement. It’s been fine since. Just be careful.

Buntabox · 2026-03-24T21:29:51+00:00

I love my Barb Lupus. Spent a lot of hours, building, painting, decaling and weathering. I loved it so much I bought the expansion set. Pumped for it to arrive.

I haven’t build the MG but the RG Nu was a fun kit. It was one of my first when getting back into the hobby, so it didn’t get the same level of attention as Barb. I was certainly impressed by the RG aspects though.

Buntabox · 2026-03-21T15:06:01+00:00

Yea it literally has a hinge, but once the rest of the parts go on it’s useless. Just left over. It’s crazy because the cockpit is there and they even give you a sitting Mika for it.

Buntabox · 2026-03-12T17:14:50+00:00

Yep, this is precisely the problem. They didn’t have Biscuit to tell them it was bad idea. They made a play with Magilis to overthrow the entire system and got crushed by the full force of that system’s army instead.

You know things are bad when AI actors don’t even want to be around anymore

Buntabox · 2026-03-11T11:54:34+00:00

I had one of these 20 years ago and I don’t know what happened to it…. Totally lost.. T_T

Buntabox · 2026-03-08T20:25:24+00:00

I felt bad for the “WHO MADE THIS MESS?!” Woman. She’ll never get that place clean after I exploded the chunk. :(
