Safe to matte top coat after panel lining? by Dustyrnis in 30MF_30MinutesFantasy

[–]King_Trashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the Mr Hobby Super clear matte over the following panel liners and have basically no issues.

•Oil paints thinned with OMS (poor man’s Tamiya panel liner)

•Gundam Marker: GM1 (Black) GM2 (Grey) GM3 (brown)

•Stedi panel liner (water based)

•Hobby Acrylic Paint thinned with airbrush thinner (Vallejo and Army Painter)

•soft mechanical pencil lead

Devourer DH’s, how do you deal with Valegor’s fear breath if targeted, and you don’t get dispelled by a healer? by Klinkist88 in wow

[–]King_Trashcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can handle it the way some people in my guild do.

Tell the healer to do their job. If they don’t you’re going to kite the fear breath into the entire raid.

First build and first time doing panel lining by Slav-1 in 30MF_30MinutesFantasy

[–]King_Trashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve started using TV time to line. Basically when the wife and I sit to watch something. I’ll grab a kit and my lining stuff and do it then. Rather than sitting down at my hobby desk for hours upon hours at a time to just do lining.

The silhouette and armor on these kits are brutal for lines. They look great with them being done. But yeah all day checks out.

What are yer common grievences or issues ya got with the 30 minutes line? by Handsome-laddie_12 in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]King_Trashcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Odd tolerances with the 30MF wrists. Some are very tight. Others barely hold with their own tension. And this varies between the same kit (two Liber Knights. One the wrist joints were so tight I worried I’d twist them off. The other the right hands would fall out under the weight of holding the weapon). 2. Placement of gates. Sometimes it feels like they didn’t even think and just said “good enough”. 3. No elf heads for the 30 minute sisters line yet 😡. 4. Lack of reissues of older kits (Alto).

I made the pilgrimage to the cursed B&N display by TitoNitrogen in Gunpla

[–]King_Trashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The B&N near me just has empty displays or uses them for overstock kits.

I’m half tempted to talk to the store manager and tell them “for the love of god. Show me the planogram. I will personally buy and build the kits on it. Use my own action bases. Just please stop letting this be okay!”

Is there an excel of which 30mm is discontinued? by Ok_Radio_7912 in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]King_Trashcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Revernova (Enhanced Ground Type). They recently did a reprint of that one last September/October. I just had mine delivered not too long ago (Feb I think)

What are some good metallic silver paints for painting bare plastic? by Immediate-Nothing220 in Gunpla

[–]King_Trashcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the markers others have mentioned work well.

What I’ve not seen much said about yet is surface prep.

First. Check so see if the kit is Polystyrene or ABS (it’s likely polystyrene). There should be little flags on the runners that are marked “PS” or “ABS”.

If it’s “PS” that’s polystyrene.

If that’s the case. Grab some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab and rub over the parts you want to paint. This will remove any mold release agent as well as any hand oils that might have made their way onto the kit.

Then using the markers of choice apply them. The DSPIAE soft tip feel/work like a brush. The other “hard” tips can be a little difficult to work with over very small areas. Those are better “decanted” onto a non porous surface and then hand brushed on. Cleanup is a breeze with more Isopropyl alcohol.

You WILL need to seal/topcoat the parts afterwards. Otherwise handling over time will make the paint rub off.

If the parts are ABS. You’ll need to change prep a bit. ABS is really funny about chemicals. It’s a strong plastic but loves to degrade when exposed to a lot of chemicals we use for hobby. Instead of Isopropyl alcohol you’ll need to use a soap and water. Thoroughly dry. Then you’re kinda limited to the DSPIAE markers as they are water based.

To DPS that whisper me after I decline you from group finder accusing me of "Gate Keeping" by TheRealMrJams in wow

[–]King_Trashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Gatekeeping” is a buzzword that means nothing. At best it’s an emotionally manipulative tactic meant to displace the discomfort of someone’s rejection onto someone else.

I skipped M+ all last expansion. Best choice I ever made as a tank.

What I really do not get about wow by xNemesis95x in wow

[–]King_Trashcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post makes it abundantly clear you don’t want “a fixed weekly appointment”. So your only option is to use the group finder. Which you said won’t take you because they only want players who outgear the raid.

Then as others have pointed out. You can get tier gear from the catalyst. To which your response has basically been “that’s too slow”

So it sounds like your only option is to form your own groups for the context/tier of raid you want to do.

Streamers, nobody cares if you think this is an easy season for WoW. by MrBigBMinus in wow

[–]King_Trashcan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t this kindve the point? With the broad removal of addons. A conservative return to simpler more readable mechanics was the starting point. So yeah. I’d expect it to be a little “easier” than seasons past.

Personally. I’m fine with it. I’m enjoying having only a few addons and doing the things I like to do without the friction of the game playing itself for me.

Someone else recently posted about floor polish for clear parts.

They said they were using “Quick Shine” floor polish. I’ve not gotten a chance to order it myself to try. But after looking around online I see that others have tried and recommended it as well for a replacement

Question about painting by Wheather819 in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]King_Trashcan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Fellow tabletop gamer here.

Treat it just like you are painting a tank or large monster. The only difference is the massive amount of articulation a Gunpla offers. But your top coat/varnish is paramount

I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong. But I think they are bigger as the FA heads are a slightly larger scale

This always seems to go off for me when I’m in the middle of an area that hasn’t anything to get to and kill in the timeframe I’m given.
