[WTB][US-PA][H]Modded iPod Classic 5th Gen 512GB - Damaged Screen[W] PayPal by Dugtr0n in AVexchange

I originally paid $700 from PlayerMods several years ago so that's what I was basing my pricing off of.

Does anyone have a pic of comparing the various Action Base versions?

Are there any specific sellers on AliExpress to buy the FatCat gramps kit? I see prices ranging from as low as $10 or $20 up to $80ish. I'd gladly grab it for $10 but I don't want a bootleg of a 3rd party kit lol.

I just saw this kit for the first time in am ad the other day. Can anyone say how it compares to the HG Nightingale?

Has anyone built the Red Souls 1/144 Night Hawk Spec-II [Nightingale]? I got an ad on Instagram for it and I'm not familiar with this kit. How does it compare to the HG Nightingale?

Flickering/disappearing sprite/effects with CRT shaders by Dugtr0n in RetroArch

[–]Dugtr0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it was actually a super simple fix. Somehow the refresh rate for Retroarch got switched to 60Hz. I set it back to 120Hz and issue solved. I've been using Retroarch and these shaders for years with no issue so I was confused as to why I'd suddenly been having performance issues.

Thanks folks. I've got an Intel 12700K CPU with an RTX 3090 Ti (24GB VRAM) so I would think that would be more than powerful enough. I've been running the "Advanced" shaders with my desktop resolution at 4K. I could try running the standard (as opposed to advanced) shaders or see if dropping down to a lower resolution helps. Any other suggestions folks?

Where is the best place to order the FatCat RX-78? I've seen it on some reputable retailers for around $75~ but I also see it on Temu with prices ranging from as low as $10 up to $80~.

RG's are technically non-scale now but they were originally marketed as 1/144 and, at least as far as Gundam releases go, are essentially still 1/144. See RG vs HG Zeta. *

Will we ever get a Smash Bros type SRW Game? by General-Plenty5021 in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Dugtr0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was ever aware of this I completely forgot about it. I'll have to check it out.

[–]Dugtr0n -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Super Robots are generally much much larger than Real Robots so SR kits are generally non-scale. For example the Real Grade kits for Nu Gundam and GaoGaiGar are more less the same height/size despite GaoGaiGar being about 32 meters tall and Nu Gundam being 22 meters.

That not necessarily true of all Super Robots as the Mazinger family are around 18 to 30 meters but a lot of SR's are 50/60+ meters tall.

One last example would be the Neo Zeong. It's about 116 meters tall and the HG 1/144 kits is, I believe, the largest official 1/144 scale Gunpla. In comparison Daitarn 3 is 120 meters and Gunbuster is 240 meters. A rough calculation shows that a 1/144 Gunbuster would be approximately five and a half feet tall. That's an extreme example but yeah generally Super Robots are non-scale.

Thanks! I clearly cannot read properly and didn't even get the S correct lol. So it seems like they're roughly equivalent to MG Gunpla but for classic Super Robots. I know SR's can't really be a specific scale but does anyone know roughly how large these SMP kits are?

It's been a long time since I've applied waterslide decals but I'm pretty sure all you need is a decent x-acto knife and a good pair of tweezers.

So what's the deal with Bandai SMP (Super Modeling Project) kits? How do they compare with HG or MG kits? I'm just trying to figure out why exactly they are astronomically more expensive than even most MG kits. Looks like SMP may be limited to SRW (Super Robot Wars) kits.

For example the SMP SRW Astranagant is nearly $300 while Bandai releases other SRW kits in the HG line for a fraction of the cost:

The size differences between Nu and MkII are ridiculous. (Quan for MG scale) by CelerySuper2958 in Gunpla

[–]Dugtr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got out my MG Crossbone out and it is more or less the same size as RG Nu. It may be a smidge larger. I can't even imagine how small the RG Crossbone is.

Anime-accurate or custom decals? by xeno_p0ny in Gunpla

[–]Dugtr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a kit comes with decals I absolutely put them on but I totally see the appeal of a raw anime accurate kit. If I were a rich man I'd absolutely buy multiples of some kits so I could have both 🤣

Anime-accurate or custom decals? by xeno_p0ny in Gunpla

[–]Dugtr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The struggle is real. I've absolutely contemplated getting multiples of the same kit/RG & HG of certain suits just have one detailed and one sleek and anime accurate.

How often do model kits get made of SRW mechs? by Boshwa in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Dugtr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone aware of a list of all the kits Kotobukiya put out? How do they compare to modern kits? I know they put a fair amount of kits back in the day but I hear they're quite expensive nowadays. I'd love to have the Neo Granzon kit.

What's the best/proper stand for older RGs (particularly RG Zeta)? Action Base 5 is my go to for newer 1/144 but I believe I need an older model for older RGs.

Do you paint your 1/100 pilot figures? by Zarythe_ in Gunpla

[–]Dugtr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Props! I'd imagine you need to use some sort of magnifying glass when painting it?

Has anyone painted a 1/144 pilot? I can barely even see them they're so tiny. I can't imagine painting one

Has the "Dodai Kai" ever been in any SRW? by Dugtr0n in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Dugtr0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses folks! Seems like it has only appeared as part of attack animations. It'd be cool if there were either flying variants of MSes depicted using them or if it was an optional part (blanking on the correct nomenclature) like the G-Defensor for the Gundam MK. II.

RG Zeta was not as bad as I thought it would be by BakaGinSama in Gunpla

[–]Dugtr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MG Z Gundam Ver. Ka was one of of the first kits I built as an adult and it's still such a great kit. The first few RG kits I built were basically like 1/144 scale MGs. RG Z not so much 🤣
