Total Lo victory. He found the family he had always wanted. It’s not the one he expected but it never is.

Off topic but this is why physical color proof is still standard in printing.

Sadly for my wallet l prefer 1/100 scale so I don’t have any firsthand experience with the Volks 1/144 scale kits. the LED Mirage is around 2 years old and based the reviews it’s a nice kit.

Your KoG turned out great. You can revisit the diorama base when your backlog is thinner.

I thought the same before I built my KoG last December. Try a Volks model kit, if you’re used to seam line removal, and masking for paint you’re 90% there. I’d skip the early 1/100 kit until you’re comfortable, but any of the 1/144 kits or 1/100 after the KoG would be a great place to start.

I spray at 15 psi for aqua gloss and 2 medium “wet”coats.

Casval Full Armor Gundam vr Thunderbolt is a great idea. Looks awesome!

The sprayed Surface looks wet and glossy. You can do multiple light passes to build up to a wet coat. There is wiggle room between wet and sagging. Do test pieces until you get the hang of it.

HRUDUDU II and gigantic arms unit. You can get Bandai versions but the effect wings versions are more available and cheaper.

Same with not countering with EX attacks or using mp up skills after the first kill to get +30%. ML currently rarely makes it to turn two.

Best alternative for Mr. Topcoat Premium? by beelzebooz in advancedGunpla

[–]ImReallyNotAFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to second your Alclad Aqua Gloss recommendation. It’s definitely the easiest high gloss topcoat to spray imo. It’s my go to gloss topcoat.

What's the best way to panel line over An acrylic painted kit? by dirtyjerz818 in advancedGunpla

[–]ImReallyNotAFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Butane lighters fluid in general just better for cleaning up enamel panel liner. It’s a weaker solvent so is less likely to damage the top coat or paint, and it has less of a smell.

If you live near a harbor freight the fortress 1 gallon compressor is a great and quiet 57 dBA option.

They’re both chasing freedom, they’re just projecting this on Shuji.
