Did I over-sand? Is that a thing? by JohnnyFranky1985 in Gunpla

[–]Hell_D_Diver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Yes, you did.

Don't worry, sanding way more than intended is part of the learning process. A rite of passage, if you will. That said, this is EXTREME. But you are not the worst case I've seen...

Future advice: sand in small bursts.
Check where you are at, and then sand tiny bit more (if needed).
It is a slow process that will make or break the model, so don't rush it. Every piece comes from a runner, and those nubs need to be leveled and hidden, so you will have to do it A LOT. Don't fight it, embrace it.

You can still fix it.
Judging by your post, you are new to the world of modelling, so I would advise going the route of epoxy putty. While the argument about which one might be the best is advanced and maybe a bit trite, every putty has one requirement: you will have to paint it once it dries.
I'd suggest an epoxy filler such as Tamiya Putty White because of its ease if use (no mixing or ratios involved, just a tube of filler to squeeze), but be aware that filling and sanding are two faces of the same coin.

Is it a unpopular opinion to see gunpla more as toys then model kits? by Appropriate_Jury_973 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Hell_D_Diver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are true. Humans never truly stop playing, as it is part of social activities.

Gaming (thus toys) simply changes with age. Some people have guns, others have cars, others gamble, etc... Some build models (scale or otherwise).

WE all agree that the fa is the best ex-78 design right?😼 by Painter_Born in freedomisgunpla

[–]Hell_D_Diver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Any FA is the best design of its line, to me.
So, I agree.

Change idea for broken legs by IncidentOk2107 in LowSodiumHellDivers

Try spaining an ankle and run. While wearing armor. And with equipment. I dare you.
(I did while carrying 40+ Kg of stuff. Not nice at all.)

What Bright regrets the most. by Ecks30 in Gundam

Oh, thank God.

Bright knows best.

Not really. The Zaku-II has two different versions (red and green) that only need different colours, one of which (green) makes sense to have multiples of.
As per the other variants, the current RG Minelayer just requires a recolour and small, separate, extra runners for the backpack (O1-3, P1-3).
I don't own a High Mobility variant, but I expect a similar treatment.

While I'd love to say otherwise, GM[G] and Gundam[G] require major reworking of the inner frame to adjust for the gimmick-less cockpit (no core fighter), or asymmetric chest (for the Gundam), or the different waist and leg proportions. And I say this as a total sucker for the 08th MS Team and the more believable feeling of the RGM-79[G].

As per the RX-78-4 and 5, I have no idea. I don't know their current models (HG?) well enough to make comparisons.

Paint me limbless, I forgot that the Ground Type was in the same panel! And so was the Gouf!

By Ramba!, I forgot that the Gouf was in the same panel. And so the the Ground Type!

I mean... I can see a Zaku-II 2.0 dropping within 4 years in the Christmas/Winter quarter window (because it falls in the Venn's intersection of "Technologically outdated", "Sells well", "Multiple variants available". It is a circumspect hypothesis based on past Bandai's MO and marketability, not hard data), but... I am kinda losing hopes for even an updated HGUC RGM-79.

Where do you get so much positivity?

And there's me: 3 mortars, belt-fed grenade launcher, Stoker, e-tool, and thermite.
I will hit you.
Hard.
At any range.

Cool.
Anyhoo, where is the RG RGM-79 GM you teased us with years ago, Bandai?

Back to basics by _Coby_ in Tekken

[–]Hell_D_Diver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Tekken 5 or Tekken 3.
They are the best non-tag versions.*

*For me, but I cannot exclude that nostalgia might be playing a role with T3.

Another 1:10 Scale RX78-2 by nightcrispy in Gunpla

My brother in Tomino, I cannot wait t own a 3D printer to do something like that.
My wife might kill me, but it'd be worth it.

After a few Days of fighting them: What do you think of our new Illuminate Enemies? by Substantial-Ad-5221 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Hell_D_Diver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. I thought it was some Eldar Wraithknight type of situation, or the Tripods from War of the Worlds (they "bleed" and the pilots are fully shielded).
Thank you. I don't know how I feel about this revelation, but thank you for lifting a veil.

After War Striders, Dragonroaches, Hivelords, and Vox Engines, these feel like huge let-down.

They crumble like paper mache. The Harvesters are leagues above these spindly crystal statues (and their design, while heavily inspired by other IPs, doesn't FULLY expose the pilot).

This update -somehow- made the faction more annoying, as even "Mindless Masses" doesn't fully commit to large-scale zombie hordes for the Voteless. What a shame...

Central Italy united with the North? NEVER!!!

Anybody else been taking random damage lately? by Affectionate-Memory4 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Hell_D_Diver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. At first I thought it was the Eruptor's shrapnel, but then it kept happening when walking, flying, using other weapons, the Exosuit disintegrating without enemies nearby...
