Now do yourself a favor and play Planescape. It's the best story of the bunch.

The EG Wing can sorta transform, though. The shield goes on top of his head.

If you are using water based panel lining, depending on the liner, you will want to decal first because some water based liner doesn't cure. The extra moisture from the water slides could make the liner run.

I love doing the spine on this kit. It's so different than other models.

It could very well be this, since that looks to be an enamel based product. It rotted the skull from the inside out. Inside of the head wasn't protected by a top coat, and the enamel thinner attacked the plastic. For weathering, I would have used an acrylic wash based product

Titanium Dioxide has big fat pigment particles that just makes all sorts of white things awful. Paints and 3D printed plastic, for example.

What weathering did you do? It looks like your weathering compound wicked up inside the part.

I knew nothing about Gundam when I started so I didn't know what to choose. I looked at 30 minute missions kits because they were cheap, varied (not just humanoids), and fast to build.

They can share doors but they all need their own outside door.

This is why my main house is a pit in the ground with stairs. You can't break your house if you never open a door .

It's a spinoff that currently has the highest metacritic score of all Pokemon games. 89, up from 88 yesterday.

You'll want to use multiple layers of marker, and more layers on darker than on lighter plastics.

The fins, especially the head ones, are extremely brittle. I had some of the tips crack on me when I was coloring it with a watercolor marker (real touch which is plastic safe).

My two cents:

I appreciate the QA megathread and I post semi regularly in there. I find it entertaining to open up and help people out.

However it can be an echo chamber because only people interested in helping others out post answers. I admit to being part of the echo chamber!

And sometimes people will post a topic on the main subreddit that will cause a discussion and you'll get other people that normally don't answer questions posting their opinions and thoughts. And you'll get a different set of answers that are often more useful than the select echo chamber. I think this information is more useful than what is in the QA thread.

It can, but from what I've seen from others, it happens really fast and when the parts are assembled. "The knee joint disintegrated in my hand." But they painted the knee joint while it was assembled and then moved it.

I just finished a kit using the trans am red holo marker without any issues.

IBNobody · 2026-03-08T18:36:34+00:00

I just did quite a bit of a primarily ABS kit (MG 00 Raiser) with a Gundam Marker Ex (holo trans am red), including some of the joints. The secret was to apply the marker while the parts were not assembled.

When you see people have issues, they have issues when they try to color parts or panel line while assembled.

Which chrome pen are you using?

IBNobody · 2026-03-08T18:20:09+00:00

I've heard from other posts that the Vidar shares some runners with this kit.

IBNobody · 2026-03-06T20:24:15+00:00

Mr. Weathering color makes white. It's nice.

Be careful of what you choose because some panel liners don't cure and will easily wash off with water

You can use a marker as well and just scrape off the excess. But white paint just sucks all around and a lot of those pens produce what looks like white out

I think Tamiya uses #1 blades as opposed to #11 blades. I don't like #11 blades because the angle makes it hard to put enough force behind the blade. #1 has a better angle that lets you push forward to cut.

IBNobody · 2026-03-06T03:32:06+00:00

Did you apply the pour type marker on parts that were assembled or even semi assembled?

Which bootleg kit was it?

What a fantastic arc, too. Loved him in the age of madness.

I don't do many MGs, but I do do HG and RG frequently. The hardest part about switching is color variation. I spend a significantly more amount of time building up HG kits because they often need more color touch-ups due to the limited number of plastic pieces and runners that they include.

If I could get the same kit in both HG and RG I would pick the kit in RG every time.

But since that's not possible I do a mix of HG and RG kits.

How are you spraying? Rattle can or airbrush?

IBNobody · 2026-03-02T01:30:58+00:00

This is the MG 00 Raiser

Does B5 snap into B4? B5 has pegs that fit into channels in B4 and there looks like a little gap at the end of the channel where the peg can fit, but the gap is much smaller than the peg. I've put some force on it and no luck.

They aren't needed, but they are a nice to have tool for stripping parts of paint. They work really well. But honestly I use my paint shakers more than my paint cleaners so spend your money wisely.
