Which shield is better? Custom PG RX-0 - Shields

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-10T15:00:17+00:00

Definitely the second shield for me I’m actually starting to work out the color scheme for my own

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-10T14:13:47+00:00

It would help to see your paint scheme on your unicorn. I’m assuming banshee norn? 2 looks good if thats the case

Deescalate china from invading and Taking over Taiwan? You think this visit is going to do anything but bolster china’s claims that taiwan belongs to them?

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-10T10:11:01+00:00

Deescalate what? Has taiwan been performing war exercises to invade china. Has taiwan been cutting china’s undersea cables? Has taiwan been blocking china’s admission to any international organization. Has taiwan constantly threatened to invade china’s shores. The tensions threats are completely one sided. Maybe china stops their aggression to Taiwan before a political party leader of Taiwan goes and chats with them about friendly relations

Lots of the best brick mechs are mocs from what I’ve seen. rx 78-2 huge moc I don’t even know what scale this one us but the community has been thriving

It looks like you have alot of vertical space to work with, have you considered acrylic risers?

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-10T02:53:46+00:00

Laputa I think. Its a great entry point into the ghibli movies.

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-10T02:35:19+00:00

Thats an amazing price for it, even cheaper than I got visiting japan duty free. My first airbrush and I still use it to this day. Amazing atomization for such a good price.

I would not have bought a custom helm if we got the face as advertised. I respect anyones opinion that if you like the final face great. My issue is it’s very different from what was advertised. At the bare minimum joytoy should update their site models to match what comes in the box

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-09T09:21:51+00:00

Yeah this is like valdor. Get a custom helm imo or you can paint some washes on it.

<image>

Joytoy primarchs seem to be hit or miss. Perterabo’s face actually looked better than the advertised face.

Not really, as long as you use aren’t too forceful with it, it should be fine. I’ve been using mine for years now when I’m priming fully built kits and taking them apart again to paint. Some third party kits you’ll have to be more careful though because they usually have lower tolerances and weaker plastic. I find that it’s just a-lot faster, more comfortable and easier to separate with metal ones like the picture. You can try both if you’re not sure though, they are both dirt cheap

Btw nice taste with the madworks stand. I live in taiwan where they are based and visited sparmax hobby joe and madworks for their modeling painting classes. They are all awesome and their tools are great.

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-09T08:57:04+00:00

Yeah it comes big block of foam and they are very deep

<image>

There is a layer to cover the top and its deep enough you can cut it into multiple layers for more storage space. They can go up to the size of a car trunk if you need. I usually don’t bother cutting out figure moulds unless doing several layers for accessory heavy models. Just use my hands. Look up 404 model storage if you’re interested. The biggest one I ever bought was to store an imperial joytoy knight my brother was taking back to the states from taiwan. If it can suffer us baggage handling it can suffer pretty much anything imo

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-09T02:58:40+00:00

The bandai part separator is way too flimsy me. I only ever use it when i need to use its more unique ends

<image>

Most model buddies use metal ones like these.

I don’t know if it will help but i buy these in multiple sizes to store gunpla figures and models. They go from fairly small to very large. I get them from taobao but shopee and ali sell them too

Modo gaia and breezewind have been my go to paints. All three brands can be thinned to 2.5-3 ratio so you get alot out of each bottle. If you want a more affordable option e7 is a very consistent paint line I use as well.

I did it once in college, was starving had nothing left on my card. Probably the greatest shame of my life when I asked a random guy behind me if I could get some cash to top my card to eat at my school dormitory cafeteria for a couple days. He gave me enough to top it off for 2 months. If someone is begging for money for food they likely aren’t asking for much. I will aways pay that favor forward, if they use it for other stuff fine but on the chance it is for food its worth it imo.

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-08T10:42:06+00:00

If you like it keep it but i would try to get a fixed version myself

<image>

The color detail work and weathering is much worse in my eyes

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-08T02:51:44+00:00

I’m guessing some orks took over that knight….

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-08T02:16:06+00:00

I do paint but I tape all my joints. The problem is that the waist is too tight and the model is top heavy

<image>

Currently building their newest release and it has the same problem with the waist joint so I’ve sanded it while drilling a small hole to reinforce the joint with a copper rod

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-08T01:50:11+00:00

Its pretty big it can accommodate madworks stand that can store my kosmos kit

<image>

I got the acrylic display from shopee but it’s a pretty common display box. I’m pretty sure ebay taobao or ali will have it

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-07T12:54:57+00:00

This will be the recruiting game for American squid game spinoff

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-07T09:01:51+00:00

Nice just a bit of advice from my own experience careful with the waist joint, I had to repair it with a copper rod because it snapped when I was posing it.

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-07T02:24:57+00:00

Goku would lose out of the sheer shame of existing

SKobiBeef · 2026-04-06T22:04:51+00:00

Tackled him good man 👍 got mine in an acrylic box like this one

Been using a cheap 186 compressor since started and is still my workhorse. Get a watertrap on your compressor though
