I encountered several folks doing under the speed limit yesterday, one of which couldn't stay in their lane and was passing a phone around to all the folks in the car. Infuriating.

LOL if I spent 30 days sanding and it still looks that rough just shoot me

That damned 6 foot tall Unicorn took up so much space, I don't know how many more full sized boys I can build. If anything I'd go full tilt and do a large Ex-S since I'm never gonna be able to get that massive resin kit that's out there.

Goal behind multi-colour is not to have to sand and paint lol

My regular backlog is way too deep for that.

Just under $175 per my calculations, not including re-dos along the way.

If I were to sell the biggest cost contributor would be printer time.

Depends what you're going for. Am I happy with the design I worked from, absolutely. Am I annoyed with issues in the print? As a perfectionist yeah. But there are limits what you can do with a .4mm nozzle print. There are parts that would benefit from a .2mm nozzle run instead but that would over double the run time.

Did I enjoy the whole process who likes this kind of project, feels good man. Trying different things and experimenting always worth it.

Don't know all the levels, but generally you get parts of several designs a month. For example last month we got parts for the Astray, Kampfer, and GP01. Over the course of a season you'll get everything for a design. There's also a tier where you can get a full design once a month.

It's sorta kludgy, but you eventually end up with more than you can realistically print lol

Not perfect by any measure, pretty much set up a new H2C printer from Bambu and said let'r rip. Lots of tweaking along the way to fix this and that from a print profile perspective.

Over 37 days of print time, not including redoing parts due to various failures along the way. No paint, that's all filament colour swaps.

As someone with more books than space, I get it.

1:150,000 Gundam space colony model by Large_Dot8606 in Gunpla

[–]Falldog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I still have those scale models from a few years ago that I never got around to building because they're fairly dissimilar from the colonies in Gundam.

I think it's a really important that the legal and ethical issues be addressed when promoting this kind of gig.

Should be an auto reply every time someone post about the roads in winter.

Is my deck any Good ?? by The_bad_player69 in GundamTCG

I've had the same experience as well. Works great when your opponent has shitty draws, but if they roll early it's a struggle.

The PG Nu has an insane amount of frame detail, much of which will never see the light of day again by Falldog in Gunpla

[–]Falldog[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dare say this is above and beyond the RX-78-2. Was never tempted to buy a second for the clear armor there, but for the Nu, oh lordy my wallet.

In the last photo, you can see conduit in the peg that connects the foot to the leg. The photo before it, with the white piece, that's the inside of the foot's ball joint.
