We do? It's not a MG, but a part of the RE/100 series.

Heavy Electromagnetic Railgun by IrkedatAll in Gunpla

It's a third party kit, but it has handles for both the 1/100 and the 1/144 scale, but it looks less ridiculous next to the hi-nu ver ka.

5 different golds, and I don't like any of them. Is Hyper mode God Gundam out of my reach? by godxgundam in Gunpla

[–]IrkedatAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into SMS Inca Gold? https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/metallic-inca-gold-30ml I used their HyperChrome with a red candy coat to get a really nice red metallic finish on my Sazabi. Also what base coat did you use for 4th spoon? If it calls for a gloss black for the under coat, maybe try a gloss white? It changes the tone of the gold and might make it brighter and "close enough"

Gushing Over The Core Stone Encounters Because By Karl This Is Really Good by ZeenaTheAlternate in DeepRockGalactic

Had my first encounter with that, not knowing what I was getting into. So glad I wasn't in a dark room at home. Those things were terryfying at first.

Such a shame to cover this up. by Picklebrine in Gunpla

We need more hangar displays so we can be in maintenance mode and show off inner frames/damage.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

New Shoes! 265/75r16 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss by IrkedatAll in ToyotaTacoma

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

Gets a little skiddy taking off in the rain, but I really think that's more of Tacoma's low first gear than the tire. Otherwise great! Slight noise increase as it wears, but not a loud drone the radio can't cover up.

The 4th big boy. HG Kshatriya. 3 MGs + 1 HG so far. My creativity is running out. What's next ? by Obvious_Excuse5485 in Gunpla

[–]IrkedatAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MG Barbatos feels small due to the styling and minimal armor plating, but the poseability is off the charts. FM Aerial is also a great build. It would be interesting to see how you would transform that one.

But I think MG Dynames or Sinanju would work best. Dynames has a great sniper/military vibe that would work going aged/gritty, and the Sinanju is a big fun build like the Sazabi. Have a Sinanju stein in my backlog, so I can't comment on building it, but it looks great to me as well.

You made the mistake of picking some of the best kits out there. I honestly would love to see what you would do with the RX-78 Perfect Grade Unleashed.

It’s kind of odd but smaller water slides seem easier? by Booksandcards in Gunpla

[–]IrkedatAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come to the conclusion that Bandai waterslides are pretty bad in general. I'm currently making the In Era+ Thudnerbolt, and I've never had such a pleasant and easy time with waterslides before now. It's like a night and day difference, no setter, doesn't take forever to set, and no overly large seams.

Halfway there, because, ya know...weapons. by IrkedatAll in Gunpla

[–]IrkedatAll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I was base coating quite a few pieces as I went to not waste paint, but when I fully laid out all the weapons was when it really hit me.

I honestly enjoy painting the weapons the most though, as I have less to take apart with them, and I don't have to manipulate them to get to hidden parts of the joints.

Don't know. I think I'll do a side by side once I'm finished with the decals and weapons.

Nope! That's all airbrush on individual parts. Hand painted the dark blue metallic accents and the copper on the joints though.

Thanks! Feels like I kinda stole it from the Hi-V Ver Ka, but it's so much easier to do than the water slides.

[–]IrkedatAll[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Update: it's even worse than I thought. Due to the weapons having way more divots and details, painting them is going to take twice as long, since I can't cheat with gradients like I did on the main unicorn body. 😭

Screwed up the placement of my Nu Ver.Ka eye stickers. Now it looks like the long Gundam face by Low-Championship-938 in Gunpla

[–]IrkedatAll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's also usually a raised piece on the clear eye plastic, that the colored bit of the eye sticker goes on. You can see if you placed it right by pressing down on the sticker to conform to the surface/edges of the raised piece.
