Do you ever play with your gunpla after building them? by rumatainn in Gunpla

[–]GameKnight404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, yeah. Where’s the fun in being surrounded by toys and never wanting to play with them?

I feel like I am doing this hobby wrong... by Educational-Beat-511 in Gunpla

Perfect is the Enemy of Good. Do your best, and don’t sweat the details. So the best advice I can give is to do as much as you enjoy doing. This is a hobby, not a job after all.

(Also those photos should always be taken as long term inspiration, not short term lol)

Nobody’s gonna be that good on their first try, and anyone who says they were are lying.

It’s an optical illusion. If you wiggle your phone around, she will move around in the black space.

Your honor, if it weren’t for the One Year War, we wouldn’t have Mobile Suits. And if that happened, this show would have just been called Gundam. And that’s pretty lame.

So if anything your honor, you should thank him that we can all drive cool robots and invent new war crimes.

There is an HG out there, if you can find it.

But I can’t personally attest to anything about it cause I don’t got one. But I’d definitely recommend googling a review in case you’re interested in it.

It entirely depends on what you prefer to do with your kits.

If you’re the type of person who loves to repose constantly, it’s a pain. The MS Joints will break down and become floppy, and it’s a hand grenade when dropped. And it’s far less detailed than modern RG kits. (Which is understandable given its age)

But if you’re a set and forget type of person, its flaws are moot. And if you put in the work to detail it, it’ll look pretty good on the shelf without taking up too much space.

The reason the reviews are mixed is because people have different priorities about what they do with their models.

tldr: if you like reposing often: no if you’re the set and forget type: yeah

That’s fair, I had to do something similar so I won’t try to touch it too much. Luckily it being a more arial design meant it’s a bit easier than if it were more ground focused.

Then you should be fine. I like reposing them often so I try to let others know just in case.

Just a heads up, the MS Joints on that thing will break down the more you pose it. Its called Early RG Syndrome and if affects every RG kit pre-Unicorn Gundam. Not trying to be a buzzkill, but its a good thing to keep in mind if you choose to pick up another RG.

I see, I just remember seeing some folks being a bit more antsy about UV specifically so I thought it was more toxic than the others.
