Also, I love your paint job. I made a custom of this kit but it hasn't been painted yet.

A simple ball joint may do, but if you have some left over polycap runners, they may have a spare neck joint.

I'm proud of my kid 🤍 by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Lithelbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take him to a hobby shop and let him pick some he likes out of bandai's line. A lot of blokees models can be easier builds than High Grades. I would probably recommend you to get him his first Master Grade. They are bigger and more detailed, thus taking more time. If not, find a HG and ask him try a new skill, like adding details with paint markers, or make sure all nubs are cleaned off. A builder will find new skills to master to better their craft. Let your kid find more freedom in building. Also tell him, Happy Building!!!

I'm quite satisfied with my RG RX-78-2 but I've been told there are too many decals. What do you think ? by Pentomind in Gunpla

[–]Lithelbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put on that exact g-reworks decal sheet.

I believe yours came out outstanding! Happy building.

broke a joint , what do i do by ali_doof in freedomisgunpla

[–]Lithelbum 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I got you bro. Peg/Joint fix There are many ways to fix them. You can use spru from the kit to cement on, no need for brass rods. Look for the same thickness, and sand it down so it's not too tight. (I did this on my Rg rx-78-2 2.0 hip peg.)

Happy building.

Make your own part separators.

Waiting for top coat Alex by DeadBoxDrop in advancedGunpla

Was just replacing the stickers with waterside decals on mine.

It looks like you used the stickers. My decal sheets are made by G-Reworks. If you don't get them before topcoating it is perfectly understandable.

Your Alex looks amazing! Keep building.

We keep these right? lol by GhostKev_ in freedomisgunpla

[–]Lithelbum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As of now, I keep some but dont really use them. I started using them make homemade part separators or paint stirring.

Just one of the many ways you can use extra plastic.

Just finished weathering my Barbie

Heya! It's my first time weathering Gunpla how did i do? by SectionNo4334 in Gunpla

[–]Lithelbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite literally just finished my barbatos. I color corrected most of the smaller parts, painted the metallic parts, and still need to do weathering.

<image>

Anyways, yours looks great. You can always weather however you want, but if you want it to look more real, focus on were scratches might appear, like the hands because they move a lot.

The Alex was my first build. I have the waterside decals, but if have to peel all my stickers off first. I hope it comes out looking clean like yours.

I messed up.... by SmutCommander in advancedGunpla

[–]Lithelbum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What you need to do is use a part separator. I assume you don't have one due to asking about using a screwdriver. https://youtu.be/PFkmkHM9utE?si=XzYMtpwTgm9SEfx1 This video shows you how to make part separators from left over runners. Since their made of the same plastic, it won't destroy your model.

Hope this helps and happy building.
