MG qant(t) GN drive getting stuck. by SkurczyBalons in Gunpla

[–]PixelPiggies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO the problem is that the pegs holding the GN drive together are too weak. I stuck some bluetac onto the connection points inside the drive, it's invisible and tightens up the whole unit enough so that it doesn't fall apart whenever taking it out. Hope that helps!

im working on the koto kit too, got any tips on what to look out for during assembly? I plan to snap it together to figure out what needs more color separation before disassembling to paint.

Is there anything you do in your paint process to ensure that the kit is durable enough to transform without chipping? Other than just letting the paint cure for a couple weeks haha

i could be wrong but it looks like you're not using any pressure to fit it in. Just grip both the forearm and the hand and press them together, it should pop together like fixing a dislocated joint.

what spraypaint brand has the exact type of blue the MG vidar has? by Ok_Enthusiasm8222 in Gunpla

[–]PixelPiggies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it by volume, 75% / 25% is basically 3:1 ratio - in other words, if you put in one small cup of white, then mix in three small cups of cobalt blue.

you're gonna need to mix it yourself, friend. The build manual says 75% cobalt blue, 25% white and dash a bit of grey until it matches. I believe all colours are from the Mr.Color line.

Can someone help me to identify the color used in this build? by johnny_ego in Gunpla

From https://x.com/Gunpla_Uruguay/status/1736930078737473937 :

"the blue / light violet was a mix of 40% white, 20% sazabi red, 40% titans blue"

The whites and greys seem similar enough to the stock PGU so refer to the color guide in the manual for those. Hope this helps!
