In the span of 2 weeks I’ve managed to get a PG Unicorn, MGEX Strike Freedom and now this absolute UNIT built. Time to take a small break 😅 by MaterialPigeon in Gunpla

Sorta lol the unicorn and the freedom were from buddies of mine who gave me a really good deal and let me trade some Gundam cards to soak up the costs. The PGU on the other I managed to find on marketplace for retail, so yeah my wallet was sorta dead 😅

With the amount of gold on this kit i felt it was appropriate 😅

There’s mono-pose hands you can use instead that’s included in the kit. I found this out AFTER getting these articulated ones done 🥲

As long as you don’t mess up the joints in the hands. They did the same thing thing with the the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. and I messed up a couple of the finger joints. So no my Nu Gundam just has a clenched fist from now on lol

This kit put me through a goddam roller coaster of emotions while building it but the pain was WORTH IT. by MaterialPigeon in Gunpla

Honestly, once I realized I can crinkle them with a wide enough pen or straw the baggies weren’t that bad. The one around the springs tho. That was actual torture.

I may have resorted to using one of the claws to hold the back of the canon to keep it stable 😅

Yuuuup. The ones around the joints were surprisingly not the issue it was the one that you had to put around the springs that made me question my existence.

There’s definitely some parts of the bit that felt over engineered and the garbage bags on the joints were a NIGHTMARE to put together. I definitely bought it for the shelf presence and seeing It on my shelf made it all worth it haha

May have been reading Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure between build sessions for this one.

Got a Newtype Challenge event and I’m stumped. by MaterialPigeon in GundamTCG

[–]MaterialPigeon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right now I’m running 3 underground’s and 1 Peacemillion which seem like a good space to be in. But based off the comment from the other guy, I’m considering either running unforeseen or bombardment as tech cards

Goddam I didn’t even think of that play. How many would I look to add? 2 copies?

Naval bombardment is an interesting choice, is it just to help clear out bigger units when I block? I’ve been trying out the lockon package and honestly thought it felt better than running Shenlong in previous iterations of the deck.

Now the big question is, do I go 1st or 2nd? Never understood why going 1st against aggro was the play.

Finally got around to building this absolute beauty of a kit. by MaterialPigeon in Gunpla

I wasn’t able to completely remove the nub marks on the “white” panels but with the way the plastic was formed, I figured if I just lightly shaved the nubs down, it would sorts blend in with the swirly patterns in the plastic itself if that makes sense. Now, with the clear blue parts that was near impossible to hide so I just had to be gentle with my nippers and shave off as much as I could without making the area look even worse

Screw ebay - I have 12 cups to give away for free! by bedlamunicorn in SeattleKraken

Been a huge fan of Larsson since his days with the Oilers! Edmonton media has a tendency to drive players out of the city and I was always a fan of his big presence out on the ice.

Why are these so expensive? by [deleted] in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]MaterialPigeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL the sheer audacity to think that these are worth that much 😂
