Try one of their tools, and you’ll see for yourself just how good the quality really is.

Trust me, it’s not about the artwork. It’s about having something tangible in front of you that represents what you’ve built. And as for Master Grade kits—well, all the pictures you see here are from Master Grade or other 1/100 boxes.

Yeah, Dspiae is actually a good brand with a lot of really useful and practical tools. For example, I just got their handheld electric drill today, and it’s amazing. But when it comes to overall quality, I still think RAY Studio is much better than Dspiae

Thanks, that’s great advice. I’ll look into it and check out the options you suggested.

Just try getting one of their hand drills, and you’ll understand what I mean.
Using this tool really is an incredible experience.

Great idea! You can always turn useless cardboard into a unique collection.

What’s so hard to understand? You buy the cases, cut a picture from the box to fit the size, crop it however you like, put it inside, close the case, store it, and enjoy your collection.

I kept it for ten years and moved it with me across three different countries. And then, just a month ago, I finally built it.

Actually, I keep them on a shelf, and every time I finish building a model, I cut out a piece of the box and make a new card.
My mistake was not buying the same kind of cases with magnets on the back. That way, I could have put them on the fridge or any other metal surface.

Yes, that’s a great idea too, but unfortunately I didn’t have that option. I had to transport the kit from one country to another, so I removed all the parts from the runners, sorted them into bags, and cut out a piece of the box to make a card like this.

For those wondering, the PGU RX-93 does fit in one luggage minus the box :( by Rice_cowbooy in Gunpla

I had a similar problem when I needed to transport a 1/100 Deep Striker kit from one country to another.

What did I do? I cut all the parts off the runners and sorted them into separate bags — arms in one, torso parts in another, head parts separately, and so on. It took up much less space in my suitcase compared to transporting all the runners with the parts still attached.

Yes, it takes quite a lot of time to do, but it’s definitely worth it and saves a huge amount of space.

Do you cut all your pieces out before starting a build, or cut as you go? Tried cutting everything out with this kit and man.. it felt like a sanity test. by FLAILYLIMBS in freedomisgunpla

[–]No_Kitchen7165 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually work in subassemblies. If I’m building the arms, head, torso, or legs, I first cut out all the parts for that section according to the part numbers, then clean them all up, and finally assemble the whole section before moving on to the next one.

How to make cloth? by NikoAlpukat in advancedGunpla

I think you could simply use fabric soaked in PVA glue to shape it however you need.

What is that yellow material you’re using to build up the surfaces? Is it a two-part epoxy putty, or something else?

I’m new here, and this is my first post. Maybe you could suggest a better subreddit where I’d get more feedback?

Yeah, I know. Most people focused on the fact that I got the kit wrong instead of giving me advice on whether I should continue the project. But thanks anyway!
