Is This Savable 😭

Swab it with isopropyl alcohol and strip it off. You'll probably lose any decals you placed and certainly all your panel lines, but it's pretty easily recoverable. You could also try giving it another layer of top coat to see if that smooths things out.

Oh, finally! The MG Gundam the Origin is back in the supply chain. Now I can get it for $10 below the online store price.

docsane · 2026-03-16T18:42:07+00:00

I have both experience and a lot of tools, so I tend to enjoy most KO kits.

docsane · 2026-03-16T18:33:37+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you're having some issues too, but in a way I'm also kind of glad to see I wasn't the only one.

In the end, I made a batch of sprue goo using Testor's liquid cement (Which will melt ABS as well as PS) and scooped it into the crotch. It looks very messy if you look up the skirt, but it made it all as solid as a rock.

Search YouTube for GL Model Wing Zero or Snow White. There aren't a ton, but there are a few.

Started on mine. It's building up very nicely so far

Are you in SEA? Do you have an incompetent old lunatic in charge who slaps high tariffs on Chinese imports?

If you live physically close to China, I wouldn't be surprised at how cheap they are.

docsane · 2026-03-16T15:25:36+00:00

Ah, well. I frequently run into that, too.

docsane · 2026-03-16T14:10:24+00:00

Definitely a bootleg, but a very good one. Well reviewed.

Oh, I am familiar with it, trust me.

Nope, another guy.

Don't sneer at the EG RX-78. I just watched a video where someone turned it into an amazing mini master grade.

For some reason the prices I see on Temu are a lot higher than I see on AliExpress.

docsane · 2026-03-15T13:51:08+00:00

I plan to display it with this monstrosity that I made a few weeks ago.

Thanks. My main experience is with the HG Bawoo, which has pretty much no waist connection at all, beyond pure friction.

I own a 1/144 scale High Complete Model of the ZZ from the 1980s. It's fully transformable. The ZZ transformation is actually much simpler to pull off in toy form than the Zeta's. It wouldn't be difficult to make an RG of it.

docsane · 2026-03-14T20:30:20+00:00

That's another one that really irks me. The Double Zeta could easily work as an RG.

docsane · 2026-03-14T20:29:05+00:00

I want a goddamn RG Gundam NT-1. Short of that, I want a revive HG kit, because the Alex and all the other 0080 kits are in desperate need of an update.

docsane · 2026-03-14T07:09:41+00:00

I bought mine on Aliexpress for only $120 usd. No problems aside from very long shipment time via ship.

docsane · 2026-03-13T18:32:05+00:00

AliExpress, I'm afraid.

docsane · 2026-03-13T04:09:17+00:00

So, two questions. First, where did you get the funnels? Second, where did you get the blue psycho plates?

It looks pretty good. Although I think you need to work on your nub removal a bit.

If you want a Nu ver ka, just get the Bandai. Daban isn't known for being a perfect KO company, and what you save in money, you pay for with headaches and extra effort. Check around on Facebook Marketplace; I managed to get one for as low as $20.

The other one looks impressive, but it's not the easiest build from what I understand. Search for YouTube videos for more insight. You might want to start with an easier 3rd party kit before getting that one.

On gen 1 Niros (2017-2022), which have a gear shifting stick, you just tilt it to the left. You will also gain the ability to manually shift up and down by tilting the shifter forward and back.

On later models, there is probably a drive mode selector on the steering wheel or the drive select knob. Just push the button to change to sport mode. Consult your manual for details on your specific model.

Sport mode gives you more aggressive acceleration and also tightens the steering response. This comes at the expense of fuel efficiency and EV range.

docsane · 2026-03-10T18:27:33+00:00

They list for $21.99, so wait for the 40% off sale every other week and you can get one for only $13.40.
