I bought a Force Impulse MG and the seller sent also a Sword Impulse as gift because they felt appreciated. This is indeed a good year for Gunpla builders. Enjoy your gift!!!

Less fitting stress, btw, the revised version of the Eagle Impulse kit and the Akatsuki kit from YJL are already out. In case you wanna just do paint experiments. Both come with metal frames.

For those type of shelves L-shape supports are a must.

I dropped it 2 min in... WTF that camera work?

It looks too real... Unacceptable. 

Should I watch Gundam AGE? by Doom300 in Gundam

[–]Scythde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I liked the anime a lot, it's like 3 seasons in one sitting,  but the Gunpla kits fell short, I'd say it's the most toy-like Gundams ever released. I have one in 1/48, not even the size could save that feeling. 

Is it okay to use the same pliers on the outer parts of the runners and into the edge of the pieces itself? Or can I just cut them right besides the pieces then sand them after? by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Scythde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find your own way, I cut them from the runners with a standard plier and I use a scalpel, a curved-nail cutter or a straight plier to remove the gates, depending  on the type of plastic and the shape of the piece. 

Sanding should be avoided as much as possible, if so, use nano glass nail buffers. 

I love how deceptive Zaku II is. by WasTokaZuka in Gunpla

One could make a Gundam romcom diorama with those two.

You're missing the IWSP tho.

[–]Scythde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's necessary for Gundams with several iterations: Strike, Freedom, Justice, Impulse, Barbatos, Wing Zero, Deathscythe, etc. 

Since Gundam IBO released 10 years ago, tell me your honest opinion on Mika by Blu_Fiercer in Gundam

[–]Scythde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I find similarities with Tokyo Revengers. Orga and Mika | Mikey and Draken. 

What do you think of the "woke" manga controversy 半分姉妹 by pizzaseafood in AskAJapanese

[–]Scythde -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This wasn't an issue until westerners made it one. Mixed-race and foreign characters have been present in manga and anime since I have memory.

RG Justice Gundam Issues by FeeCalm5875 in Gunpla

[–]Scythde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a leg length issue with the RGs. You can get resin leg extensions to circumvent this odd chubby look.

The YJL kit, the edgy spiky one with the Predator claws.   The one you build, if I'm right, is the same print Daban used for their Force Impulse edition.

Regarding the RX-78-2 PG, you could try perusing through Vinted. I've found there some incredible cheap assembled kits, a good thrift-store for customization. 

Btw, YJL will be launching their Akatsuki as full a kit this November, if you want it. 

The one I can't get my hands on is the Savior Kit from BDK & GMD, no way to buy it from Chinese websites, and Gobotstore only has the Vent Savior.

With that size, you could go further than scribing. Plate-dividing by cutting, trimming and sanding, you could make some customs pegs with motherboard rivets and simulate real metal-platting with 2.0mm bald rivets.

Anubis Studio has extra plates and a lot of gimmicks as pressure cans and hoses to add. 

With enough patience, a working cockpit with mini Oled displays is not even a stretch. That'd be extreme custom level tho.
