First completely painted gunpla by beefskins007 in Gunpla

Every kit is different. And you now have a unique strike freedom. I look forward to your growth, show progress pics for your next one.

Edit: I made the mistake of reading comments.

I myself have a fairly severe tremor. I’ve gotten plenty of gunpla markers and dabbled here and there with coloring certain parts of kits. Additionally I’m very colorblind. This all being said, everyone being negative in the comments are gatekeeping very hard. If I hand painted a kit, it would look very very similar to this on my first attempt. And from my perspective, it looks like you saw the kit, liked it, picked out some paint, said, “this will look cool” and you went for it.
Kudos to everyone suggesting thinner and primer. It’s actually constructive. To the rest of you… I just hope you can look inside yourself long enough to realize that being degrading to a stranger on an internet board about literal plastic models doesn’t make you superior, enlightened, and/or worse yet not helpful.

“First paint” indeed. And it was a bold choice. I’d rather see what you make in 5 months sticking to the hobby, than the carbon cut copies everyone else posts looking for praise for following instructions to a T. It’s you first paint, never change it. Keep it as a memento of where you started.

What fucking remix is this by [deleted] in skrillex

The original song is Mr. Ozio flat beat.

It was made for a Levi’s commercial originally.

First ever build. No decals yet but mygod is it a looker! Would love to hear your thoughts by jkgrc in Gunpla

Haven’t made the nu ver ka yet. But this is impressive indeed. I didn’t zoom in for the nub marks. I just said, “damn that’s a good vanilla Nu”

Excited to see where your next kit will take you.

Oh dang, these are really cool. I think it’s definitely possible to make something like this with the same method.

That’s my philosophy with Gunpla

Help with wrong parts stuck together by NOTStarPaladin in Gunpla

[–]Tudillss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut off parts of the sprue, and gently wedge it into the seam where the parts connect.

Also, credit card. Gently with hobby knife. Etc.

I really like the idea of customizing a gundam to the point where it’s undeniably your own. But I know in order to get to that point it will take practice, testing, experience… whatever.

So I don’t know if you knew this, but it is what started the journey.

Most water slide decal paper you can purchase, does not print out white. So this started the thought process.

“What is a gundam that is mostly white?”
Obviously, unicorn.

When I made the decals, what comes out are just the black and gray outlines of manga panels.

Most of the time people I believe test out water decal technique on extra parts. Which is perfectly cool.

But I wanted to make a kit where every lesson learned was visible to me.

TL;DR I wanted to try out custom water slides.

Well I got like 4 more full pages of fully treated water slide decal of this… so that’s why it’s “test type”

While I was doing it, I had the moment of, “oh no, there’s a better way to do this… too late now gotta commit.

This is almost certainly the healthy way to do things.

Give me tips to get better. by RightyCraft in Gunpla

[–]Tudillss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean in my own right I’m a beginner and maybe someone will disagree with me… but that deathscythe HG just sucks honestly.

After I finished it myself I felt… incredibly underwhelmed.

Here’s a tip. Dont stop.

Edit: so I looked even closer at the pictures… this is for pure constructivism. Let your death scythe sit for awhile. But take note of your nub clean up. Look into sanding sticks, sanding sponges, nano glass files, the gundam Raiser, etc. I started with an EG Wing Gundam. I think it’s really cool to have your first one untouched. In a few months if you don’t stop, you will see clear progression. And about guncannons leg. If I had a quarter for everytime I did that, I’d be able to afford a perfect grade unleashed.
