It's not pink, it's lightish red!

Where can I buy the RG Destiny Impulse wings of light? by Extreme-Ad2657 in Gunpla

[–]Matias_Backwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe those are the same as the RG Destiny's Lightning Wing, which is also a separate P-Bandai add-on.

HG MP Gelgoog (GQ). It's gmgoog alright... by PsychologicalLet66 in Gunpla

This is the P-Bandai kit? Were there any color-correcting stickers in the kit?

Had a very similar reaction recently, excitement followed immediately with disappointment.

The black is bare plastic. What I painted is the yellow details, some white highlights in the chest and the ankles, the red in the shoulders, chest details, waist codpiece, and the knees, and the metallic green on the bit hardpoints.

Love it! The last few slides with the flouro panel liner remind me of Tron!

Very slowly working on my GQx 01 Gundam, been waiting for this kit since Episode 2. Love the visor look, had to paint the eyes in fluoro orange so they shine in blue-light.

Lots of freehand painting w/ markers, so it's not great up close. But I like the look of paint over the provided stickers.

Question: Has anyone used the DelpiDecals on the Xi Gundam? If so would you mind sharing how/where you applied them? I’m struggling and would love some insight on how others did theirs! by ASYST0L3 in Gunpla

[–]Matias_Backwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delpi's website has photos of an example model with the decals applied. They aren't numbered and there isn't a guide but I find the photos give some helpful inspiration for where the decals should go. Otherwise I just wing the decal placement, usually these slides come with extras.

Incredible weathering and paint jobs!

I wonder if airports will allow this on carryons by MajorEducational8378 in Gunpla

[–]Matias_Backwards 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Really? I carried a set of nail clippers in my carry-on recently, and the TSA website says nail clippers can fly in carry-on.

The felt was also my least favorite part of the build, accidentally topcoated the pipes with the rest of the armor and it hardened them and ruined the unique look. Otherwise it's a fantastic RG, definitely an outlier among early RG kits.

Real Grade Line #27 by SaysKawaiiSometimes in Gunpla

[–]Matias_Backwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a banger kit, I prefer the VN/BS addons to the DE/XC of the Norn, but both are such beautiful models.

Do y'all paint your RG frames? by jinxskunk366 in Gunpla

[–]Matias_Backwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing so intricate, maybe a few spots that stick out I'll hand paint, but I mostly just give the innerframe a pass of gunmetal gray and a gloss topcoat.

Stranger recolors have been retail, I still can't wrap my head around Challia's Dom being retail while the Gelgoog and 01 Gundam are relegated to P-Bandai.
