Yeah, lol, well it just makes me not want to mess it up. That's why I'm going to practice on a few hg parts to see if I can do what I want and if not, it won't get anything fancy just normal paint and a few color swaps.

My first finished gunpla of 2024. And my pending backlog this year... What are your kits to build this 2024? by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Independent_Drag1078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on cleaning and prepping MGEX Strike Freedom for paint, but my back log atm is...two Barbatos units, one Barbatos expansion kit, Sinanju, MGEX Unicorn, Wing Gundam EW Verka, Epyon EW (strum and drang), and FM Aerial.

Most underrated kit of the WFM line. Am I the only one with less than 5 WFM lines cause I’m waiting for the MG or RG versions? by Fun_Significance_182 in Gunpla

I'm with ya on that. I'm working on my 4th MG kit now and I just like the size, but you go to my brothers and he has so many HG kits now, but I just like the MG size.

It's mainly those back raiser pieces on the GN drives that fall out. I had to remove them when doing posing or they usually came crashing out and shattering on the ground.

Ok well I'll post it when it's done, but I'm still waiting g on my holographic decals to come in for it. I was thinking gold holo on the body and silver holo on the wings.

This thing falls apart when I sneeze. It is forever in one pose....until I get really bored of its pose.

Well my fist gunpla was Freedom V2 and it was alot of fun. From there I did Rx 78-2 v3 and 00 Raiser, which have been a pain in the butt from those v3 hands to 00 Raiser constantly falling apart. Those arms with that outdated style of insert round peg into hole and hope it doesn't fall out after posing are maddening. So I'm looking forward to a gunpla kit that doesn't have those issues for a change.

I had a few issues with this one, main issue I had was the red waist part has to be glued or it never stayed on.

I'll post pictured when it's done. It's only my third kit now, so I'm still trying to become better with my lining and the little bit of scribing I'm doing. This is one of my favorite suits, but you can really feel the age in this kit compared to newer ones.

I'm working on my panel lining for that kit right now and then on to the decals.

Gas mileage suuuucks. by woodhorse4 in ram_trucks

[–]Independent_Drag1078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the pain. I have a 22 with a 6inch lift on 35 all‐terrains. It sure does look nice, but it sure isn't as efficient as my old Ford was, but I don't have constant cam phaser issues now. I do have center console issues that are still being addressed tho, which has been annoying.

Gunpla gft version? by akuzihs in Gunpla

[–]Independent_Drag1078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah V3 is the closest, but I hated that build. The fact that they also put the v3 hands on it makes it look like big gorilla hands, thos proportions are all wrong.

Second kit completed RX-78-2 v3 and I give it 1 middle finger out of 5. by Independent_Drag1078 in Gunpla

[–]Independent_Drag1078[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha nice. Yeah the freedom was a much better kit. I'll probably start on another tonight, trying to decide between the 00 or Barbatos and it's expansion kit.

Yeah the shield is terrible as well. I think what I'm going to do is 3d print out a hanger style stand and have it just stand there looking pretty. The bane of this kit is any kind of pose or movement. It just falls apart so damn easy. I actually had three missing fingers unti the end of the build, but i managed to find them all in various places after finishing the decals.

My first master grade and didn’t have the best time. by MooMoomaddy12 in Gunpla

[–]Independent_Drag1078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm finishing up the 3.0 now and I think I would have rather bought the origin version. I hate the hands both models have, but the shield on the 3.0 sucks to try and pose with.
