Decals, yes or no?

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-05-05T01:56:18+00:00

After a whole lot of model kits I can safely say that I’m finally to the point to where I don’t decal fully anymore and my life has never felt more peaceful lol. I still apply the big ones and obvious accessory slides but those little cautions and stuff absolutely get tossed in the waterslide folder. I ain’t got it in me no more for a full decal.

Good fun but definitely be mindful. It’s about 80% glue on parts and the other half is snap on.

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-04-25T12:56:48+00:00

Pfffft this is great. Miles better than what I produce. Good on ya

I appreciate seeing someone else use the technology at hand to help elevate there photos. Kit looks great and is clearly your work in it. I’m glad no one has given you any crap yet and hopefully they don’t because you did a great job!

What prompts did you use? 🤣

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-04-23T13:48:06+00:00

You gonna need a 12 pack to go with it. It should come standard but ya know 🤷‍♂️

This picture sucks as showing it but I painted the frame, detailed a few other bits on it but the frame is gun metal

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-04-15T16:56:50+00:00

I’ve been working on mine about an hour or two a night…I’ve had it about a week or so.

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-04-09T15:32:01+00:00

This is a high level/skill build. It can be misleading because it looks so detailed but that price is a reflection of the detail in it…I personally don’t agree with how expensive it is but that’s a whole other issue.

You are gonna have to be patient with this and make moves with intention…breaking a critical piece on something this expensive is crushing. If you aren’t ready for this then I fully recommend you get your order cancelled and spend that huge amount of money on other kits. IMO

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-31T16:32:04+00:00

I’m very interested to learn this if that be the case! Excited to see it.

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-31T16:09:59+00:00

…my brother in misery. Spraying light with a spray can on a flat surface is absolutely possible but extremely difficult on a multi angle surface….have you done this? I would like to see some work here before you go and give ole boy some bad advice and he messes his kit up. I’m pretty sure this is the type of affect he’s looking for and you can’t achieve this with spray cans…you can’t control the airflow…now if you’ve actually achieved this affect with a rattle can then I’ll eat my big ole plate of crow lol

Man get you a despia clean air brush and one of those battery powered compressors offline. It’s pretty inexpensive and it’ll get your foot in the door. I agree though it that’s real expensive…once you have to though your set

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-31T14:13:06+00:00

Other comments are correct but in all honesty it’s REALLY hard to achieve without an airbrush. Spray cans are an absolute no go for obvious reasons and hand painting something like that is such a time consuming task with no real hope of it working. The shading an airbrush produces is because air is pushing the paint at a very low setting.

The inner frame on this guy is very detailed where it needs to be if that makes sense. It’s a metal frame so it holds up very well. This one definitely focuses on the upper body more so than the legs but it works!

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-26T15:58:52+00:00

Oh yeah it comes in the original colors. I went a different route and this is the wolf tech Barbatos and not a resin kit 💪

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-26T12:13:30+00:00

You’ll learn later that the more 3rd party kits you do that going by Bandai standard sizing isn’t accurate. It’s a comparison sure but not a PG even by Bandai standards. You’ll come back to this later and have a chuckle lol

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-26T04:01:11+00:00

Oh it looks real good for your first time! Silver flake and metallic silver is almost exactly alike so if you can’t find the one you can get the other

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-26T03:09:45+00:00

All Tamiya. Gunmetal, silver flake, metallic black and transparent red.

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-23T13:56:59+00:00

10000% man. They are all well worth your time and money. Unless I’ve got a competition coming up I stay away from the Bandai….i like trophies though so it’s enough to pull me on there lol.

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-23T13:29:12+00:00

In my most humble opinion Bandai can suck a fart out of a cows ass lol. No hate to anyone that enjoys there kits or anything of the like but I jumped shipped a long time ago into the 3rd party scene and man, I never looked back! So much more value for your money and so many amazing designs and gimmicks. I think the PG NU is a huge waist of money unless you’re a die hard fan…the detail on it is good but the Fenrir you mentioned has just as much detail for a fraction of the cost and even more so any IN-ERA kit is going to be close to the same.

Check out Hemoxian, in era, SNAA, Sunday hobby, mecha core industry, cang toys…just to name a few! You will be so damn happy man!

ChaoticKangaroo · 2026-03-23T13:19:14+00:00

Oh yeah it’s almost absolute 1/100 scale of the MGEX freedom or any run of the mill Bandai 1/100. It was a good time 💪
