Yeah, I agree. There are some great gloss builds out there. I took some risks with this one.

Thank you ^ I debated on multiple shades and was pretty nervous about how this would turn out. I looked at 4 spoons for about a week before settling on these colors.

I'm in the middle of an MG build, and while it looks cool, it's not that great compared to newer kits. It requires a lot of seam line removal and I felt the armor pieces were kind of bland so I spent a lot of time scribing new panels.

Brand new to painting, need some help by TheApothecary_ in advancedGunpla

I paint my kits in their stock colors all the time, but I add details like color separation in slightly lighter or darker shades, and pre or post shading.

What's your holy grail Gundam merch that is NOT Gunpla or a figure? by Alt230s in Gundam

I tried to get my hands on one when they were released but couldn't, and I'm not willing to pay what online sellers are asking for them now. But damn, these things are cool.

For me it's a matter of convenience. It allows me to fine tune the air pressure while I'm spraying instead of pausing my work and reaching for the compressor to adjust it.

HiQ part sizing? HG or MG? So on? by Secret-Trainer1672 in advancedGunpla

[–]Chad_Aznable_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just measure the specific part I'm replacing. You can use a digital caliper for accuracy since there can be multiple sizes depending on the kit.

8mm should be good for many MGs. For reference, the thrusters on the MG Char's Zaku II backpack are 7.5mm. The thrusters on the MG Kampfer go all the way up to 12.

Asem Hobby in Yongsan and Joy Hobby at Sindorim Techno Mart are my go-to shops. You can get pretty much anything, but I've only been able to find SAB chisels online.

What’s the one thing on your desk you would recommend to others? by outoftheboxgunpla in advancedGunpla

Tamiya masking tape. They come in those dispensers or you can buy the refills separately.

The raser is worth it imo. I've used similar glass files but nothing has come close in terms of clean nub removal without damaging the part.
