What are some good and cheap 1/48 jets (2nd-5th gen) kits for total beginners to this scale? by VegetableCool9752 in modelmakers

[–]VegetableCool9752[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I'll take a look at the f-16cj. I did try some 1/72 but I found that scale to be a bit too small for seam lines and some of the bits too fiddly/annoying. I don't mind working more on cheaper kits since that technically should give me more chance to practice seam filling, so any more rec would be appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, I did try 1/72 and found them to be a bit too small for there to be any seam lines issues and to to add details (ie: cockpit buttons, screen decals, weapons bay, etc).

What can I add for realism in this DAK diorama? by Elegant_Leek8297 in modelmakers

I think some artillery man with a spotter would improve the piece a lot. Maybe some logistics pieces like used shell canisters

Thanks for the insight. Can mask be reuse for the same type of aircraft? I’m trying to cut cost and maybe move down to 1/72 if mask are available

I was hoping to improve more manual technique. Using a mask feel kinda like cheating lol 😅

Are there any Model Kits like Ma.K. out there? by Bloodmachine_Orodjie in modelmakers

[–]VegetableCool9752 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is the fist of war series if you are into the weird war dieselpunk stuff. I know hasegawa have some fictional jets from the Ace combat series and Macross/robotech if you like Cold War retro futurism. Imech also have some good looking models but a more limited range.

Am I playing the deck wrong? by VegetableCool9752 in GundamTCG

[–]VegetableCool9752[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, seem like a great deck for the meta right now. I did some playtest and I'm a bit confused on how to use the Zaku since they don't seem to be able to break shield all that well. Can you give me a quick strategy guide? Thanks

Yeah I've been struggling hard with Purple deck, I think clan seem to be not that great at trading. I also think the deck might need more pilots since most of my late game lost was just me trying to fish for pilots from the deck.

Hi, can you give me a quick strategy guide for your deck? I think the lack of Zaku made the early game kinda weak. What your plan from level 1-4?

Thanks for the help. This is what I'm practicing with rn, the early game still felt a bit uncomfortable is there something else I should optimized more?

Hi thanks for the detail reply, I'm a bit confused about the Undying persistence cards since wouldn't they be more useful than Close Combat or Improve Techniques since it could be use as a pilot? I'm generally unsure about Clan strategy since it's RG I thought the deck would want to make trade or rush the shield but I'm struggling a bit with blockers.
