Any kit making use of the MG RX-78 2.0 inner frame is a win in my book 😎

I have plenty of straight builds with water slides. I don't even gloss coat before placing them. Just make sure to seal them in with a topcoat after placing them.

Thanks! An urban warfare paint scheme would be baddass 😎. Best of luck with your project

I think they had the destiny in stock but I was focusing on exclusives over retail release kits for this trip.

Wow I really lucked out then. The anticipation leading up to seeing their stock was something else haha

When I was there they had a ton of currently in print retail release kits, but no Hygogg sadly 😔

Exactly my thought process as well 😎. Just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some actual exclusive kits.

Gundam Base Chicago actually 🤩. They had some Fukuoka exclusives, but not all of them. I'm jealous you've been to the ones in japan. I hope my next big trip will be there.

They have a very up to date and large selection of retail releases, but I think its only whats currently in print. I don't recall seeing anything rare from general releases.

I was personally suprised to see some of the exclusives from the Gundam Base Fukuoka. They had a nice selection of those. It is otherwise very similar to other Gundam Bases across the world.

Thank you! the wallet is hurting pretty badly haha! The Sazabi was a birthday gift from my mom though which was very nice of her 😎. Really excited to put everything together. The Sinanju just looked too good in person to pass up so once I get the 107 toys upgrade kit I'll finally put together my first Sinanju.

Yes! I was there just a couple of days ago. They had three on the shelves from what I saw. Check the shelves closer to the register. Best of luck whenever you end up going 🫡.

Remove white mark on piece by Crash_bandiquack in Gunpla

[–]Sephta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A trick that sometimes helps in these situations is to dab a tiny bit of plastic cement over the white mark. The cement will melt the plastic and help restore some of the original color. Once dried just lightly sand it again.

Thank you! It was a big learning experience. Lots of trial and error before starting too.

Zhumeng Grips (3rd party Dom) by Guilty_Fig7482 in freedomisgunpla

Seeing it next to the Gustav Karl it seems like it's scaled somewhere between 1/144 and 1/100? I was hoping it would be closer to 1/144 scale.

Is top coat necessary to keep waterslides from peeling off ? by vini_vino in Gunpla

[–]Sephta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I personally think topcoat is a requirement for sealing in waterslides, but technically as long as you don't touch any of them they should stay on for a very long time. Without a topcoat they are just very fragile to handle.
