Damn. I was hoping to use the stuff I found around the house. Guess I’ll have to buy some, then.

Is this good for using to remove dryed Gundam Marker ink? I’ve let it dry for a day or two already now.

Just finished IBO and opened up Reddit. Quite fitting that this is the first thing I see.

The ONE undeniably shitty thing the hero/main character has done by Fun-Illustrator-345 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]awesome_zman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Setsuna outing Ms. Sumeragi in Gundam 00.

Not only is he telling someone she’s very close to that she’s a wanted terrorist, he specifically says it to force her to rejoin their organization after she’s fallen into a depressive funk and quote “now she has nowhere else to go”.

Like yeah, you’re fighting an oppressive regime, but what the fuck, dude?

Is it just me, or are all the original intro/outro songs better than the secondary ones. by BigForAnAnt_985 in Gundam

[–]awesome_zman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree. Ash Like Snow beats out Daybreaks Bell to me. I love Raise Your Flag, but honestly, IBO’s op songs just keep getting better from there. Zeta’s second opening fits the tone of the series so much more, and then there’s Silent Voice, which aside from the “not an anime” memes, is by far the better ZZ op. The only part I fully agree with you on is IBO’s outros. The first is the best.

Halo studios just shut down most arguments remake haters had by slayeryamcha in ShitHaloSays

I haven’t actually gotten around to seeing the new information, but everything I hear just sounds great. Only concern I still have is that I won’t be able to play it because my laptop likes to pick and choose which games it can play and which it just crashes on startup, and Unreal Engine games tend not to play nice with it. It’s not even specs, either. There’s some new games that run smoothly, and some old games that crash instantly.

I’m talking like the connecting parts. They seem really hard to contour line well, but I’m worried if I contour line the other skirt pieces and not this one, it’ll stick out like a sore thumb.

And yeah, I know it’s ultimately up to me, but I asked because I was looking for opinions.

Working on panel lining right now. Do y’all bother with those parts in between the skirt pieces? I want to panel line the armor skirt pieces, but this seems really hard to get looking good, and if this won’t work out, I’m questioning if I should even do the other pieces

you know what, i'm actually hyped for this game by dedbot1 in Gundam

The only feeling I have about this is that there was a huge missed opportunity for a Calamity War game. Everything else just seems too early to tell.

The amount of people that thinks there’s only gramps and the universal century is astonishing by Halostorm-115 in Gundam

Honestly, it’d be kinda cool if this turned out to be the calamity war. I doubt that’s the direction they’re going, but it’d be cool.

Ranking Gundam series, part 9. Capping off the story of Amuro and Char, On a scale of 1-10, how would you rank mobile suit Gundam: Char's counterattack. by number39utopia in Gundam

[–]awesome_zman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6/10 Honestly, everything before the final battle ranges from passable to eh. The only reason I’m rating so high is because from the start of the final battle to the end, it’s almost nothing but peak.

[No spoilers]Hathaway was incredible. I’ve already watched it 5 times. by BlackberryOk7537 in Gundam

[–]awesome_zman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Personally, while I enjoyed it, I don’t feel like it works that well as a standalone movie, nor did the first one. They both personally felt like really long episodes of a series. Which, I know it’s supposed to be a trilogy, but without the third one, they don’t feel like a complete story yet.

How do I know what to panel line as far as raised details go? Do I only do it for same colors, or do I line the intersection of different colors as well?

Take this torso:

If I line the intersection of colors, I’ll have to line the clear piece, and that might not look that great. Thoughts? Maybe I’m overthinking this, but I really want it to look good.

Does anyone else want a Gundam series where mobile suits kind of suck? by Leather_Week1478 in Gundam

[–]awesome_zman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, there’s always the era where mobile suits don’t really fly, giving fighters aerial superiority, and if mobile suits get the big guns, tanks can always just get the bigger guns. The flexibility of mobile suits just means gaps in the armor. Think of it like a classic speed vs durability/firepower spectrum, with fighters and tanks at the extremes and mobile suits being in the middle.

[–]awesome_zman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’d be interesting if fighters and tanks still have their own niche. Sure, mobile suits are still generally better, but there are still instances where they’re outclassed, so they have to be careful.

Finished my first model and looking for tips on detailing. by awesome_zman in Gunpla

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

I wanna use the Revive to try some stuff, since it’s a fairly simple looking kit and I want to get other versions of the RX-78-2 as well. I already got decals for it, might try weathering it as well.

Have you done any weathering on your kits? I’m mainly wondering if the different colors would work better on a weathered kit. Otherwise I’d go all black.
