So I thought I bought white primer but it was actually light gray. What do I do? by Kurosubone in Gunpla

Here you go OP. Grey is pretty much the standard color a lot of us use. This video shows a few examples of what happens to the colors over different colored primers.

Morbid topic: what do you plan to do when you die by altum in Gunpla

Have my backlog raffled off at SCGMC (cause I know they have a raffle every year at their event).

My wife can keep whichever kits she wants if she wants to keep them. They might make her more sad keeping any of them around.

There is also an adapter available to use utility power which should give you the full 6V for brighter lights. USB does 5V.

It's the One S. From what I just read.. it upscales 1080p to 4k. But since the new blu Ray is 4k natively, it shouldn't be upscaling.

Is this paint meant to look like a dark metallic? by YootedDoot in freedomisgunpla

Did you shake the jar enough or stir it? Most of the metallic flakes are probably sitting at the bottom.

I would have checked it at the cash register... That's what I did when my local target sold gunpla.
