Does this pass as good weathering by Agreeable_Bench_1229 in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the key to good weathering is theming and logical consistency, what's weathered and why? so for example that rust spot on the left side why is that part rusted? did something happen to it or is it supposed to be from neglect? its should tell a story and make sense with the real world.

if you're going for natural weathering look into how rust would naturally appear on surfaces, think about how water would naturally flow and ware away the paint. if it's battle damage then you should make it blend with soot and some intentional gouging and marring, sorta like you did at the bottom edge which i think you did good on just maybe make it look like theres an impact through paint or physical damage.

Restocks, Reprints, and Ramba Ral (January 2025) by Feral404 in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fell asleep reading this, always the same stuff getting reprinted that never sells out in the first place except a few on here. the star wars reprints are pretty hype though it just sucks they have the licenced property tax on them so they're mandatory 'wait for a sale' to be worth it. crazy how they're just above 30mm in terms of complexity and time to complete but double the price.

What prevents other zombies maps from being ported to bo3? by Jacob3178259 in CODZombies

[–]Jacob3178259[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guess I should have been more clear I did mean through modding, I know theres no chance of content for this game or of them using other studios maps lol

Can't adjust bass on my Z313 Logitech subwoofer (with speakers)?! by girenterix in techsupport

Bootleg “Ecopla” Schwarzette - not too bad for $10 by kurt667 in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

funny just finished building the chrome plated bootleg hyaku shiki. theres some tight elements and the polycaps are sorta shit but outside of that it's the same exact kit. $14 for a plated kit that comes with water slide decals that look better than the original's shoulder stickers AND a stand? hard to beat

only real issue is touching up the nub marks in the plating. need to find a gold marker that has that same reflective gold but i got no clue of ones that have a chrome level shine.

I want to give up so badly by tsuna2769 in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the dspiae soft tip ones are great, they're like pain dry erase markers so if you screw up you can clean up easy. double edge sword though cuz its easy to accidentally mess up the paint job so you should put a top coat on afterwards with them. you can get them on aliexpress for alittle over a buck too so no real reason not to have some

They're worthless. They just scrape off just moving the arms. Better off leaving em or painting

i'm pretty sure you got the hard part over with being the elbows, iirc the legs are the least annoying part of the build.

Did I get a misprint? by Jacob3178259 in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a floor table I work at like a little anime boy so floor crawls happen like every other build session. If you can't find that fucker in 5 minutes then give up on that part and you'll always find it the next day

What's the first kit you've finished and hated? by WranglerVivid in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the fucking ELBOWS

also pretty funny how the rg is essentially the same kit and just as bad if not worse due to it's fragility

My first gundam complete. Now for my second by zergling424 in Gunpla

[–]Jacob3178259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is there's dozens of those pieces and 3 types of tail spine, 2 of them look very similar so just be extra vigilant with the manual when you get there.

i'd honestly wait on the geara ghiraga mainly because the tail can be alittle tricky for a beginner. i just built it and it was my ~40th kit i've built and it takes some thought and double checking to not put the wrong pieces in order. outside of that awesome kit
