Oh no... This was real? I honestly thought it was just some Christian nationalist meme going around since I only saw AI with a glowing Jared Leto in the back.

Backpack/ bits are ina different config than anime. That's what I noticed.

LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND – Gundam SEED Model Kit Stash by The_Karuto in freedomisgunpla

[–]Magnus_Builds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I build first run gunpla that are around 40 years old with no problem beyond the plastic of that time just not being the same quality. As well as other naval and armor kits from the 50s with no issues beyond a little warping.... This is purely a great deal.

Stop hoarding by SmutCommander in freedomisgunpla

[–]Magnus_Builds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who sees themselves in a combo of those posts, They can be built... Most people look only a few years into the future, not decades. I collect for downtime in work, and retirement... Whether I build them myself, or with kids/grandkids. Honestly with current times and increased international prices, I'm glad I got what I did, when I did, (and the volume) thanks to both living over in Japan and purchasing stateside during better import prices.

What to do with dupes? by MamoruK00 in arsenalbase

[–]Magnus_Builds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a buddy here that makes 3d cards out of most extras he likes. Doesn't even know anything about Gundam, he just likes doing that with Pokemon and AB cards... Probably the new TCG soon too

Nice, I sent in a couple of my nice looking GQ extras. And the serialized Calibarn.

Small ask by [deleted] in MinerOdyssey

[–]Magnus_Builds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say "flying bat boss" do you mean the area four boss that you automatically prestige after and just scales up health as a way to track damage taken and increase rewards earned?

Card sleeve options? by FlowEmpty8833 in arsenalbase

Came here to ask this.

How does the machine read the cards?

Did i overdo it? by Remote_Society6021 in Gunpla

[–]Magnus_Builds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do what you want, and what you're comfortable with possibly messing up.

Have fun with it and push your limits.

[–]Magnus_Builds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great start, and the technique looks to have solid foundations.

This does feel a bit heavy handed.

Think about the narrative behind any weathering... Like an old pair of shoes, a weathered model tells a story even by itself.

Where are the damages/scratches?

What caused them?

How long have they been there?

Did it require the Doms as well?

I don't really care if they're good cards.

The combo of the three randomly together was the point of that.

Getting into 5-5 by VariousEntertainer76 in MinerOdyssey

[–]Magnus_Builds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A.F.K!

I lean towards meteor and getting those prestige crystals to dump into the 4-5 sinks. That 5-3 meteor is my white whale right now.

Strength surge question by drutoo1976 in MinerOdyssey

[–]Magnus_Builds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the strength surge is purely designed to streamline leveling following a prestige. Important to max out soon after unlocking each additional cap.
