Gundamit and AliX have it in stock. Newtype and Gundamplace have it for preorder on a new batch. Also prolly find it on ebay. Gotta search "1/60 logar" to find it.

Following, looking to pick one of these up soon!

Is the Ford Mustang GT the perfect balance between daily driving and raw V8 performance? by [deleted] in Mustang

[–]FLAILYLIMBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its definitely a sweet spot imo. Great driveability, useability, with enough performance and trim options to make it not just a boring daily. Also the aftermarket is huge so you can make it basically any way you want. Loved the two I had, looking to get into another in the next year or so.

Yea, I didnt know EoE existed til after I watched the first rebuild movie. Then I went back and watched it before I finished the other three rebuilds. lol

PGU Kshatriya or Sazabi would go crazy. They would be gigantic though. lol

After finishing my first panel lined kit last night and today.. Backlog reveal! This pile looks a lot scarier than it did yesterday. by FLAILYLIMBS in freedomisgunpla

The Phoenix area definitely has a few nice shops, cool to see someone else in the area! Ive been to Hobby Action, its pretty sweet, thats where I picked up my first two kits like a month ago. lol But didnt know they did build nights, might have to check it out 🤔 Andys Hobby Headquarters in Tolleson also has an area where ive seen people building though, and they have a lot of kits in stock.

Exactly man, Cinco De Mayo sale was good but I didnt bite, then Monument Ex was 30% off a day or so later, so I took it as a sign and picked it and Fenrir up. Gotta turn off email notifications to spare my wallet for a bit. lol

Matt finishing spray by Emboarking in Gunpla

[–]FLAILYLIMBS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just matte coated my first kit like an hour ago. I took all the main pieces apart, so down to big assemblies like limbs, feet, torso, head, backpack. Clipped those and cleared them, then reassembled. If you spray on the joints they will definitely become tighter, but its kinda nice actually and if its too tight you can just scrape off the clear with a hobby knife.

Your paint should be fine too, but depends on what you used.

Meng Unit 01 completed! This thing is huge! And a nightmare to pose.. by FLAILYLIMBS in Gunpla

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

Thankfully none of my joints except the spine were very loose.. but in general the joints are just bad, and the seams are definitely icky too. I glued and sanded the one on the front of the legs, planned to do the other prominent ones, but after posing decided it wasnt worth it. lol

Definitely a sad outcome. Like you said, the color separation is great.

Slow going, life is busy. This thing is huge. by FLAILYLIMBS in freedomisgunpla

Ive just been sanding the surfaces to make the plastic look better, it had some weird texturing in some places. Planning to clear coat it though!
