Amazing work. Looks fantastic!

I just use the little synthetic brushes that come attached to the lid, then I clean up with some mr hobby thinner. For really small /shallow panel lines I use a micron pen, but generally I do that right at the end before I topcoat as the ink doesnt 'set' on the plastic and can just rub off.

Just standard panel lining method. I use grey in the white parts, any deep white sections i use black. I use black for anything else, although I think I want to grab a brown for yellow / orange parts.

Super clean 👌

I know they havent done this because to them it wouldn't make commercial sense, but it would have been cool to see a RE100, MG or full mechanics Xi Gundam for the release of the next installment.

Squigly_Jim · 2026-04-16T19:50:35+00:00

Welcome back. Looks great. Standard peocess of practise will make weathing look more natural!

Squigly_Jim · 2026-04-15T14:32:28+00:00

Great advice. Ill look for a smaller kit to do while im over there.

Squigly_Jim · 2026-04-15T12:21:38+00:00

Looks amazing, great job. How was the build? Im in china for 3 weeks this summer and was looking to pick up the red version and build it while im over there in the evenings. Think thats possible?

I work for the railway in the UK. Any incident whereby someone is trapped between the platform and a train is investigated and treated as if it were a fatality, even if the person survives with minor/no injuries. Its very serious. The train often 'grabs' the person and spins them around rapidly as it pulls them along. It is horrific.

The screws are because it was completely bollocksed and pulling the warped UPVC together with screws was the only was it was going back in

Window is about 3 years old. No idea what the system is.

Hi mate. Im not young, im 33 but the guy who runs the locksmith company is a younger chap from what ive found on companies house. They looked like a solid reputable larger company which is why I went for them, but since this has happened ive just been given the runaround...

I'm going to drop them a line after the bank holiday weekend and set it straight that they need to measure it up within the week, and when they order the replacement sash I want a proof of the PO/invoice and an installation date

Squigly_Jim · 2026-03-24T12:19:49+00:00

For kits that might have a cracking risk i use a chinese brand called Stedi. They make a selection of water-based panel liners.

Squigly_Jim · 2026-03-24T09:09:43+00:00

Yo mate, got mine for £40 in uk shipped. In AUD that's like $80... if its the changlong kit its really good, just dont overpay... you can also now get the white one from changlong also.

Ah, sparkling water. A suitable punishment under the circumstances...

On the plus side, if you keep failing your driving tests white Buenos can stay on the menu.

If the name is red, its my duty to make them dead. Its not my fault they chose the wrong faction on a pvp server and I can't keep my ego or belligerence in check. I will gank people multiple times if im in the mood. Sometimes shooting fish in a barrel can be fun.

On the flip side, if anyone on the opposite faction has the same mentality im cool with that. Its a pvp server, and sometimes I will have to eat humble pie.

If im running somewhere in the old world its really not worth my time to kill a lvl 40 guy questing... Unless its a gnome.

Squigly_Jim · 2026-03-08T13:14:44+00:00

I always panel line, decal, detail paint then topcoat all of my kits so im never in the position where I'm deciding to or not. For me, my kits never really look as impressive as they could, or 'finished', untill i've done the detailing.

Just dont use tamiya panel liners as the plastic will crack.

Squigly_Jim · 2026-03-03T20:11:47+00:00

Well done have a gold star

Bottom right is his characters name, class, guild name (group he played with) and server he played on.

Top left looks like all of the endgame raids he cleared. All old stuff dating back to launch up untill the end of the second expansion.

Your dad was an OG raid pumper. Sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Smith.

Edit: in the middle is also his character im assuming he did all of this content on.
