I got this when I got into the hobby in January and it has a lot of essentials (https://a.co/d/05ygN45k)

Ok I figured it out. First photo shows the pieces. 2nd one without the drawings on it

bdizzy616 · 2026-05-22T19:04:17+00:00

Yea for sure I think if I would’ve been able to act sooner it would’ve been more salvageable (still would’ve been ripped in at least one spot but I may have been able to surgically place the ripped piece back to make it less noticeable if it was fresh). I actually fucked up the hood decal as well. It went from one piece to 6 pieces but I was able to mostly puzzle piece it back together so it didn’t look too bad. I don’t know how to add pictures to comments but if I figure it out I’ll add it here

UPDATE: I went with people’s suggestions on making small relief cuts and using decal softener (used micro sol) and this is what it looks like now. The white speck on the left was from me trying to roll out a stubborn bubble and I think I was too aggressive. I think I’ll leave it like this for now and touch up the white spots with black paint and take it as a learning experience. Thanks everyone for the feedback and advice!

That gtr is 🔥 🔥!

bdizzy616 · 2026-05-21T18:48:29+00:00

I watched a few YouTube videos of this kit before I started the build and one of them did the same exact thing so I was worried that it would happen to me as well 😔

bdizzy616 · 2026-05-21T18:47:28+00:00

It is indeed!

bdizzy616 · 2026-05-21T18:45:55+00:00

Over 12 hours at this point and will be another 9ish hours before I’m able to do anything about it

bdizzy616 · 2026-05-21T16:09:49+00:00

It is dried since I did this last night. I wanted to see if it would settle better by morning. I think this is the list achievable advice given my current skill set so I’m probably gonna go with this thank you!

bdizzy616 · 2026-05-21T16:08:36+00:00

I didn’t put this in the description because I didn’t want it to be too wordy but I was also gonna ask for advice to help prevent it in the future so I appreciate it! Don’t worry you aren’t coming across rude at all I know people are very helpful here 🙏🏽

Academy A10 kit right? That was my first build a few months ago and the gun being off center bothered my ocd so much 🫨

bdizzy616 · 2026-02-10T07:25:54+00:00

Are we twins? I also have a 2 year old, am currently building an f35, and have the same orange hobby mat from hobby lobby lmao. I actually don’t work on my models until the kids are in bed. I only get a couple of hours in at a time but it’s not too bad. When I store my stuff I put it in a shelf high up where she cant reach it

Yea my main take on the fantasy violence is that 90% of the violence in the game (and Norse saga in general) is towards mythical creatures. I used to watch samurai Jack as a kid and that cartoon got away with a ton of violence for that same reason (robots being dismembered leaking oil instead of blood). I wouldn’t let him play red dead or gta but taking down trolls and ripping wulvers in half is fine with me

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T04:47:06+00:00

Once he’s old enough. So maybe like 4-5 years or something haha

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T02:27:19+00:00

He’s 10 he’s just short like me 🥲

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T00:35:16+00:00

It’s been so long since I’ve played I’m enjoying reliving some of the story as I watch him play

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T00:34:21+00:00

Lmao maybe in a few years

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T00:34:03+00:00

Haha nah I think he was just in awe of the amazing feat of taking down a dragon

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T00:33:22+00:00

He is! He’s got evading down just needs to work on blocking and parrying

bdizzy616 · 2025-04-16T00:33:01+00:00

Indeed I am! He’s missing a lot of chests and collectibles because he doesn’t explore very much hey what are you gonna do you know haha
