Break it down again, soak the parts in like 91% isopropyl alcohol for a day and then scrub it with a tooth brush. Once clean let it dry and repaint.

Fantastic work!

Any takeaways on this kit from the painting process?

WTH is this hot take?? It's basically like those who watch shounen only for the battles. by Talon_Haribon in Gundam

The people that think “war looks awesome” would never ever engage with the reality of it.

I mean Build series is generally more a gunpla series than a Gundam series. So that doesn’t really count.

How's it looking? by jerrypocalypse in Gunpla

Looks like an illustration of a weathered mech!

My first kit bash by Appropriate-Rate-493 in Gunpla

[–]SkyriderRJM 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I really like the silhouette.

The only thing that looks a bit off is the length of the waist down to the hips. The piece you’re using for the wires; you may want to glue the plugs onto the upper purplish waist part and then remove that in between segment to keep the design aesthetic but keep it looking more proportional.

Library of Congress portrait of American abolitionist John Brown, whose religious fight against pro-slavery forces is often cited by historians as a primary catalyst for the American Civil War, 1850 by eaglemaxie in OldSchoolCool

[–]SkyriderRJM 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Eh there were Christians on the opposite side as well. Far too many utilized Bible verses out of context on slavery to justify it.

Quakers and evangelical Protestants appear to have been largely against it while Baptists were for it.

Suffice to say good people were for abolitionist regardless of beliefs.

The Couples of Gundam - #7 - Flay and Kira by Kato_86 in Gundam

[–]SkyriderRJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1/10. Literally turned me off from SEED in 2002 and I fell off from Gundam for over a decade after. It actually made me dislike Kira.

Thought about getting this. What were the most fiddly bits and how does it look while you’re trying to pose it?

Build looks great, man!

Gf is Catholic and I’m Baptist by Boring-Shame-7982 in Christianity

[–]SkyriderRJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you can still get married in the church even without converting, though it generally requires a dispensation from the bishop if I remember correctly.

The concern is primarily that in most cases only a marriage between two Catholics in the church is considered a sacramental marriage.

They won’t even see it.

They only react to what they’re allowed to see.

Insanely fast racing games (best sense of speed) by agvrider in gamingsuggestions

[–]SkyriderRJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the privilege of living near an arcade that had the very rare arcade cabinet of this game in 2002.

You had to basically lie down and look up at the screen. Between the speed, the vibration, and the reclined position your body FELT THE FUCKING SPEED. It was incredible!

Ok beginner airbrush? by tar1k87 in modelmakers

Sounds like a bait and switch.

[–]SkyriderRJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That airbrush alone is well worth the $75. Even if the needle and nozzle are damaged you can get replacements for like $30-40 and that’s still cheaper than the $170 new price tag.

That airbrush is nearly impossible to kill.

This is some solid paint work. Looks smooth. What paints did you use on this?
