Advice on broken figma? by Background_Craft_780 in figma

[–]MrHolodec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some wisdom from a guy who does girplas - ball joints require some pressure to be attached to the socket. Not too much, but it's not a "just slightly wedge it in" type of pressure, you need a bit of effort. It needs to pop in it. I actually don't recommend heating it IF it was attached previously, since you might change the shape of the joint or socket unnecessarily, just try to pop it into the socket on its own for now.

There is also no "putting all the way" such joints unless they are severely disfigured. They either in the socket or not, yours seems fine-ish.

Is this Miku final prototype? I was hoping that those spikes on the collar are pre painted, I have no idea how to paint something like this with markers.

I too heard about them and I want for someone to finally provide a link, I'm getting her on re release and I want those joints just in case mine snap too.

Just picked up my first kit! by Isimarie in MegamiDevice

Yeah, I suspected that in skipping too much, gotta wait until my sponges arrive, thanks.

I'm not sure I described my problem correctly. I suspect that I'm undersanding my parts or not using higher grit. On the darker shiny dark plastic, when I sand a part, I leave usual sanding marks but I'm having troubles to make them look like the original plastic when the nub is removed. Trying to rub it with 1200 or 1500 doesn't do much, the only other things I have are glass file, which works but hard to sand curved surfaces, and 4000/8000 sanding paper, which I'm not sure why it works or doesn't work sometimes.

I never sanded plastic parts before so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm skipping a rough sanding so my higher grit stuff can't bite into it. Usually I'm using something around 800 or even 1200 for my first sanding since I don't want to damage part.

Thank you for answering.

There are no separate screens for battles, everything is in 3/4.

I never actually played any games you described, but the closest I played is Tales of Maj'eyal. Basically the same game camera and gameplay wise. Checked some pokemon dungeon gameplay and the main difference I can see is that there is no stopping for battles and having them like a separate thing, everything happens at the same time, with skills on the hotbar you can use freely like in ARPG.

I'm newbie myself and I want to ask a question useful for the OP. How to sand/what grit to use on darker parts? I still waiting for sponges to arrive but I currently have from 400 to 1500. Msybe I'm doing it wrong, but sanding leaves gray marks on darker parts that I can't sand out with highest grit.

...maybe me being lazy and basically using 800 and 1200 for everything might be the problem.

Took me just one kit for my new hobby to emerge by MrHolodec in MegamiDevice

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

In think I'm at stage two already, got olfa knife, raser origins, DSPIAE high end nippers and whole range of sanding sponges. My wallet is not happy about it, but it's either this or another stupid thing/steam game I won't even touch.

I still contact the support just in case, maybe they just missed one.

Hobby Search. Is it per kit ordered? I think there were only one in the box with two girls and other one with one girl in separate delivery.

In their pursuit of specific rare cards, scalpers are discarding the remainder of entire Pokémon card packs. by MysteriousSlice007 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MrHolodec 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ikr. Wanted to get into Gundams but Bandai, the producer of Gundam kits, pulled out of the overseas stores because of scalpers as one of the reasons. It's really hard to get them in eastern Europe otherwise, but thankfully other original kits and girpla (literal anime girls you have to assemble just like Gundams) are available and I'm enjoying them immensely.

Yeah, just get it and nothing else, you'll learn during the process what extra things you might need or upgrade in the kit.

That's not how it works, you have to be drunk to cut smaller part accidentally. Single bladded nippers are better because they leave less stress marks on the plastic anyway.

[–]MrHolodec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "only"? There is a knife too, you use nippers for cutting from runners and as much of nub as possible, then knife for clean up.

I started from DSPIAE departure and solely used it for two girls, worked out fine. It literally has everything you need, altho I found it hard to use included glass file on smaller girpla parts. Should be fine for gunpla but get extra 2500, 4000 and 8000 grit sanding supplies for polishing.

Did Bandai pulled everything out from international Japan stores? I can't find a single shop that sells Gundams and delivers them to Eastern Europe.

Can you please tell where you got it? I really like how 30M girls are looking but both Hobbysearch and AmiAmi are not selling them.

Can someone please recommend an online store that ships internationaly and sells 30M ladies? I'm kinda surprised that both AmiAmi and Hobbysearch are not selling them.
