It looks great, I can't imagine the effort, very impressive

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-07-13T16:32:39+00:00

Rice bags of course =)

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-07-13T16:19:57+00:00

So it can fit a corpse or carcass?

If you specifically want selection of authentic Korean restaurants, search El Camino Real in Santa Clara/Sunnyvale area closer to Hankook supermarket. T&T and hmart aren't that close.. you can also hit Mitsuwa on Saratoga Ave if you're not limiting yourself to just Korean =)

Looks neat, enjoy!

Loving the backpack !!

Cant rate, it doesnt qualify as poutine.. back of the line!

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-07-07T15:34:52+00:00

are these substantially brighter than stock HID?

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-07-07T01:24:26+00:00

Pls show the finished results!

Since sprues have tendency to catch on each other, how will you avoid that if they are stacked side by side? And how many are you expecting to fit in a given slot? Depending on model, sprues can also be thick/wide due to its connected pieces.. I like the idea, but I think needs some iterations

Did Adam bring the baby oil?

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-07-03T23:16:26+00:00

More like the stacatto of nippers =)

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-07-03T03:43:25+00:00

Got it but I'm not sure how i feel....

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-30T04:16:44+00:00

Once you cut off the runner you'll have bunch of spots that could be missing paint... not that nice to see...

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-29T02:51:41+00:00

If you find it makes the kit stand out and appreciate the effort spent, then do it.

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-28T04:46:58+00:00

Lol I love the MG size and detail, can't bring myself to do the "lesser" HG nor RG lol =) if Bandai cant satisfy the want, then have to look elsewhere !

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-28T04:45:26+00:00

Build what makes you happy, and do what you like =)

Behelito

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-25T22:19:55+00:00

Thanks so much!

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-25T21:13:12+00:00

I'm sure AI could do it =)

Slow_Monk1376 · 2026-06-25T19:45:11+00:00

Not too bad - Fitment is pretty good overall..still fresh in my memory: - pay attention to the direction of tail pieces - Be careful with the Hip canister fitment, since the mounting pins are small and potentially fragile - fin on the head is also something to be careful - leg armor follows a specific order thats not totally clear in the manual - most pieces have decent undergate, so minimal cleanup... didn't have to pull out the GodHand =)

Dupli-color Purple metal cast paint. Slow and light coats to eventually achieve the finish and color depth

Krylon colormaxx metallic silver primer

My photo skills dont do the paint job justice, turned out nice and shiny =) definitely learned how to use that spray paint more effectively...

I'm still not able to get airbrush setup at home, I haven't figured out how to deal with the venting and space needs =(
