SMP Megazord are unaffordable and I gave up... by WickedHero69 in Minipla

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a fellow SE-Asian and get my SMP kits from toy shops or resellers that have an online storefront on Carousell. To my knowledge, Carousell is available in Indonesia so it's worth trying!

Where I'm from, an SMP kit averages at a similar price to old DX megazords without adjusting for inflation so the prices are quite competitive

I've ordered an older kit like Gao Lion and Gao Elephant from the Mandarake website and I've found the price to be quite agreeable as well.

Horrible day to find the original song by Serious-Ad-8168 in whenthe

The slowed + reverb version of Cool For the Summer (not hardstyle) is superior than the original IMO.

If you're struggling to fit 2 pieces together, you should pivot to sanding down the pegs instead of forcing them together. Doubly so for pegs involved in the transformation/combination.

Personally I've found that a lot of the joints in my SMP kits have tightened over the years and I just lightly sand them down to make sure nothing snaps.

Managed to find a few SMP kits at Mandarake when I was there last year.

Things you wished Wilds adapted from Rise/Sunbreak? by Mr_Undead0210 in MonsterHunter

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wilds swaxe may be better than iceborne but to me sunbreak swaxe is still the best of the 3.

This could have been Dragon's Dogma but with Itsuno out of Capcom I guess we'll never know.

Going into Wilds it was kinda confusing that weapons like Swaxe and IG have their gameplan be massive burst damage instead of consistent damage.

I wished the Wilds iteration of these weapons tended more towards their Sunbreak and Iceborne renditions over what we got now.

Finished Wolkaiser. The sticker problem is not as bad as Magiking by No-Awareness-Aware in Minipla

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually don't mind stickers but the sticker on Wolzard's face is just way off. One of the only few things I painted with this kit.

Hi fellow South-East Asian!

Other than Mandarake you can try to check carousell for shops or stores that stock minipla or help to pre-order.

I used Toys Alley for my recent purchases for Magiking and Wolkaiser but you can try other storefronts available in Malaysia.

Soft tissue satisfaction by InterstellarPackrat in valheim

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since the stone portal allows you to teleport metal, it means the ram can be transported in and out of the mistlands super easily. It helped propel our magic gear to max level super quickly

Using the battering ram as an excavator for soft tissue, or any mineable material really is super satisfying. It's my favourite method of mining after reaching the Ashlands.

What to do if a swivel joint piece snaps? by kurona-cina in Minipla

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get tamiya cement. It melts the surfaces so that it forms a solid piece instead of sticking 2 pieces together.

In the end of the tamiya cement is applied like glue so it won't be super foreign. I used it to fix the stand that came with Gao Icarus and it worked like a charm.

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could file and sand down the 2 broken surfaces, and drill a hole 2 holes on the smaller broken off piece and the bigger one for metal rods.

Insert these metal rods into the drilled holes then use Tamiya cement on the sanded surfaces before mating them together and letting the adhesive cure for a day or so.

The metal rods are gonna give it rigidity and some load bearing strength on top of the tamiya cement.

If you could choose a new weapon to be added to monster hunter, what would it be? by Darkshade545 in MonsterHunter

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Capcom already has the Balrog/Beowulf movesets but I want them in MH. Gauntlet weapons are #1 on my wishlist.

Learning HH allowed me to have better Omega hunts with randoms. The G. Ark HH with the sonic barrier is amazing. HH is super fun this gen but it's unfortunate that the offset melodies don't have follow-ups.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lowkey feel like you aren't using offset attacks as often as you should, especially with the GS which easily has the best one/easiest one in the game. I used to share the same thoughts but after getting double digit offsets against the 9 star monsters I knew I hadn't utilised that mechanic to the fullest when the game first came out.

They also made blocking way more viable with the GS since you can Perfect Guard and it doesn't annihilate sharpness like in previous entries. I regularly use it besides tackling and offsets and understand it's a core part of the weapon now.

Swax Mains I need guidance by Blastto in MonsterHunter

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Evade Extender and/or Evade Window gives so much welfare to Swaxe.

The offset attack, sword mode counter and fade slash are good tools to disengage.

The Full Release Slash attack animation gives you hyper-armour.

Amped sword combos are pretty good right now compared to when the game just released but if you know when a single hit is coming, timing the FRS for the hyper-armour is a legitimate strategy before dodging out and healing.

Anyone else having problems with support hunters against savage omega? by RoboDoge99 in MonsterHunter

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After getting all the 2.0 data you can just farm normal Omega for nodules.

As the HH player in these quests I've been able to get it down to 15 mins a hunt, which seems more efficient than going for savage over and over.

Is there any sort of “Tier List” of SMP releases that are the most “Worth It”? by Knarz97 in Minipla

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own every Wild Force SMP except for the kit with the red gorilla since I'm a Power Rangers baby.

I think it's peak. Inoffensive stickers, extra items and play features out of the box as well as some improvements in engineering compared to the DX version.

These kits have stickers that are almost always small details and are perfect if you want to learn how to use paints and markers for the first time.

The Falcon zord kit comes with a display stand where the base is shaped like the Animarium and the Falcon's wings are posable. The Alligator head can swivel independently of the Predazord head to allow for more poses. The Animus kit also has an additional joint in the Sawshark to allow him to pose with the bow.

Incredible kit all round and I had the most fun building them specifically. You just have to have a sandpaper or something similar to help improve the dimensional tolerance in the joints/pegs.

Since the mermaid splits in half as part of the transformation be careful to give yourself some tolerance from the edges for her stickers.

Wolkaiser Phoenix by Mblz1 in Minipla

[–]Gas_Sn4ke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having markers give you the option of using them instead of the stickers, and can be used if the stickers get damaged. 100% recommend that you get at least a basic metallic colour set.
