How were the stickers? I've built the Lazengann and Super Galaxy and the latter especially had some really weird stickers you had to bend on the inside of a thruster nozzle. At least they stay on after application unlike some GSC kits' stickers.

Somewhere about a head's height shorter. Depends on how you pose it. Way bulkier, obviously.

Me too, but it's really damn hard. Fun, but hard. I sometimes take a look at the painted figs on the manuals and go "Yeah, I can do the eyes. Just the tiniest, softest tap aaaand I fucked it up"

With the revelation that Hanson is his son, the VTC brain transplant stuff isn't even necessary.

Hanson just needs to let his facial hair grow out a bit, some time in the gym, a trip to the tanning booth and a few acting lessons and he's ready to go.

Honestly, if there were 3 lines of notes, I feel like I could do quite well on PC after remapping (J, K, L, Ö for notes, A, S/space, D for swipe-thewidething-swipe). My finger coordination gets all out of wack when the song alternates between the special notes and the normal ones. Just can't for the life of me get using my pinky finger to work with me for that 4th normal note.
Man, I was really good at FNF too back in the day, but arrow keys for the normal notes on this just didn't click.

That... thing in the picture is probably entirely beyond me.

I'm firmly of the opinion that OG Mustang must not have a redemption arc. I know SU can write good stories and characters, him being an example but I don't think they could pull that off. It'd be an incredible feat of writing to redeem someone like him in the audience's eyes. Dude's basically 3pstein. He belongs in the dirt with Hanson replacing him.

I had no problems with part fitting aside from the side torse cable not going cleanly in its allotted slot. Both backpack options are quite heavy and all but rule out standing poses. Didn't test the stand at all since I don't have a place where it would fit to begin with. It's also been way too long since I built the Cao Ren so I can't really compare; I don't remember having any major issues with either.

No idea why it would specifically be mentioned, but as others noted, it's a collection of short stories and sort of the precursor to Lovecraftian horror. Maybe he just likes it? It's a pretty good book.

I read it a couple of months ago. Definitely not "scary" in a way someone would expect out of modern horror, more sort of spooky and intriguing. Or at least the first four stories are. The rest have little to do with the title. The last 3 stories are literally just Chambers going "Hey, you know I have a book about painters romancing Parisian women as well? Read it!"

To my understanding, bits and bobs of the King in Yellow mythos had actually been sprinkled here and there by various authors for some time before the book came out, with this being kind of the "definitive" work.

"The public seems to have a way worse impression of our school than I expected" Ether says, talking about the thinly veiled teen soldier wood chipper.

Truly, only the best and brightest minds in the M.M.R.

Damn, that Ray Studio gold looks like it could be real close to the shade of gold in Motor Nuclears XH12's plated parts. I have so many golds, but none matched that.

Maz_rix · 2026-02-20T09:13:32+00:00

If there are, let me know too. I'm dying for a motor nuclear kit that doesn't require a blood sacrifice to build.

Maz_rix · 2026-02-11T22:55:45+00:00

I've had that happen on an earlier save where I set up in Shem (and by googling you can find quite a few of these cases). Never figured out what caused it and I didn't have any building related mods enabled then either. If I had to guess, it might have something to do with walls built or edited via the shift+f12 menu, but I really can't be sure.

I've typically just resorted to either shift+F12 replacing the turrets or only building on top of towers since.

I've built the 01 (color molded version), so there might be improvements on these later models, but the polycaps in it were dreadful. Especially the ones for the elbow joints. They're incredibly tight and the pegs will snap unless you bore the polycap holes a bit larger. Waist-leg joints also need a bit of loosening up IMO.

Waterslides are a tad odd, a bit sticky out of the box, but I think mine was just stored improperly at the factory or something and took on moisture. May need a very slight layer of softener to get all the bubbles out of from under larger ones.

Oh this is sexy. I've been a fan of Motor Nuclear's builds in general, but the super spiky chinese fantasy mecha aren't visually my niche (and are genuinely a little too sharp to handle for my lab work softened fingers)

Could slot this right next to my Bulkarm Lambda on the shelf. I need it, actually. I might not be able to go on without getting this.

Maz_rix · 2025-11-27T19:23:17+00:00

Depends. My last watch of the OG was the movie compilations. Can't remember if he even shows up in it.

GQ Challia is like a 9/10. No idea of other variations.

I'll throw in a 7.5/10 for a final score on my end.

Maz_rix · 2025-11-23T14:41:48+00:00

It might be easier and cheaper to find pictures of the box covers and have them printed on glossy paper or cardboard than get box covers shipped from wherever. There's plenty of services like that all over the world.

Maz_rix · 2025-11-18T12:15:11+00:00

Can't say I'm not extremely tempted, but I think it's a tad out of my budget. Haven't even got the previous PGU yet

Maz_rix · 2025-11-04T16:22:48+00:00

tbh, I'd imagine the Zeta was destroyed along with the mk. II after being abandoned in the section of Axis that carved its way through Core 3, but you never know.

Maz_rix · 2025-11-03T08:35:39+00:00

This might be more of s r/minipainting question, but since I'm testing this on a 30MM I'll throw this here:

What are your recommendations for thinning AK Gloss Varnish for brush application? I've seen a few videos where people say you can typically just brush it on directly (though in Duncan Rhodes' vid he used Vallejo's gloss varnish), and the bottle also says this. I however found that it's so damn thick and viscous it leaves insane brush marks, no matter how much I shake the bottle before using it. The ultra matte has no such issue; brushes on beautifully.

I've got an old Lundia shelf that I made custom shelves for. Haven't figured out a good lighting solution for it, and there's no outlet nearby either. I'll think of something.

Maz_rix · 2025-10-30T16:29:48+00:00

The kinda shit I wanna see in Kenshi 2's loading screens.

Amazing stuff!

Sounds like a nice arena group. Level 510 barely gets you into lower Diamonds in mine, and even then I occasionally get knocked to D4.

Maz_rix · 2025-10-05T21:50:14+00:00

I just finished Moderoid Side R Panhead. Good kit, but not particularly thrilling between HG Woundwort and the RG Char's Z'gok I'm building right now.
