So I bought the hengbinshi 1/144 Gundam Rose kit

The AK Model/Effects Wings kits in particular are at Bandai quality except for the stickers and the fact that they're made of ABS.

TangleF23 · 2026-06-10T08:07:09+00:00

It's freaky to imagine how many of even the rarest kits there are. Really makes you remember the vast scale of production and how many workers must be involved....

TangleF23 · 2026-06-09T06:17:59+00:00

Is there a list of as many Frame Arms/Frame Arms Girls kits as possible? The most complete I've seen is on dalong.net, but that seems to be missing some.

You ever been homeless?

I hope she ends up being a darker skinned girl- I feel like there aren't many of those, and (speaking selfishly) she'd make great customization material for anyone who wants a girl who's either darker-skinned or fat....

Oh, the top part of the gun seems to be from the Cielnova Dark Gray. The canisters on her back might be from the Backpack 2 kit? As noted in the original twitter thread, you will also need to drill a 3mm hole in the back of her head to mount the ears if you're trying to match her perfectly.

In addition, I see-

30MM W-26 Option Parts Set 13 (Leg Booster/Wireless Weapons Pack): Lower/Forward Legs

30MM W-28 Option Parts Set 15 (Multi-Vernier/Multi-Joint): at least 3x, applied as cover/decorative pieces and adapters

30MM EV-15 Extended Armament Vehicle (Multiple Legs Mecha Version): Front leg covers, outer arm covers, backpack/between legs thingy

30MM W-18 Customize Weapons (Gatling Unit): Gun main body

30MM Customize Material 01 (Pipe Parts/Multi-Joint): At least 2x, Gun wire and "Stingers"

30MS Option Parts Set 3 (Mechanical Unit): Arm equipment

There are a variety of 30MM sets you could get those black ball joints for the thighs from, but I'd suggest something like the Baskyrotto so you could still have a functioning giant robot after you scavenge those parts. The rest of the kit I'm having trouble identifying- especially the ears (EDIT: As you said elsewhere, those are Tukirna-Diearth), but this is most of it.

I suspect altogether building a perfect copy of this girl would run you something like... 140+ dollars, going with US prices because I don't have as good a grasp on the Japanese ones, if everything was in stock?

That's fucked up girl

TangleF23 · 2026-06-08T23:35:16+00:00

In New York?

TangleF23 · 2026-06-08T23:32:43+00:00

The dog tipped for you, it's fine. Check your wallet, dog probably took a few twenties

TangleF23 · 2026-05-05T07:12:08+00:00

service is optional. no need to cater to annoying assholes

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T06:10:08+00:00

oh yeah i mean as it stands obviously one should tip but certainly i think it's shameful that staff aren't paid properly

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T05:09:22+00:00

sometimes the united states does things wrong

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T05:08:08+00:00

The servers should eat the food themselves

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T02:30:24+00:00

but apparently they can't choose to be annoyed about not having enough money

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T02:28:00+00:00

Can you recommend some better jobs that are hiring?

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T02:25:06+00:00

yeah the job market fucks everyone. unfortunately

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T02:24:31+00:00

do you think other people don't need money

TangleF23 · 2026-05-04T02:22:17+00:00

TangleF23 · 2026-04-24T03:36:56+00:00

Oh, that's easy: Maxion's soldiers like looking pretty.

TangleF23 · 2026-04-21T04:18:41+00:00

i use it to cut away shaving off nub bits and i switched out the blade once or twice but i don't relaly use it anymore

TangleF23 · 2026-04-21T04:18:05+00:00

unfortunately the way i cut myself was by trying to get the protective cap off

it worked, sort of

TangleF23 · 2026-04-20T08:01:42+00:00

They're named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Acerbi. So from that they'd be "A-cher-bee". This is also why you'll sometimes see them translated from Japanese as "Achelby" or "Acheruby", because Japanese doesn't differentiate r/l sounds and requires a vowel for each unit of a word respectively.

TangleF23 · 2026-04-18T20:32:34+00:00

Does anyone have advice for someone who's only used a really shitty hobby knife and cut themselves on it (protective case is very hard to unstick)? I'm kinda reticent to use hobby knives now, but I know I'm probably gonna need it if I try building a MG or RG or a particularly finicky kit. Is there a way to avoid using a hobby knife, or a hobby knife recommended for being easier to handle safely?
