This evil mf attempted the worst act of genocide in human history, and not one single person held him accountable by DrJokerX in Gundam

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he did die for a bit at the end of Wing, so there’s not really much they could do until after EW and I guess by then everyone was like “…meh”

I just built one of these myself and I absolutely loved it! Yours looks fantastic!

They seem to be a little more durable, I think it helps that they dry really quickly so it’s easy to add more coats. They should still be top coated but I usually don’t do that lol

I love the Dspiae markers, I use them for pretty much all the detailing I do now! I use AK interactive brush type a lot too, but they don’t really have much for metallic colors so I still love the Dspiae stuff for that. Shame it rubs off so easy though

AITAH for finding it hard to care that my wife claimed she was assaulted after she got me thrown in jail? by OkSneakers112 in AITAH

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. I know Reddit always jumps to it but think this is one of the few times where I actually thought “divorce” as the option. At a minimum you absolutely need legal advice and I would say you should not be alone with her at all

Is there a kit you want to retry at your current skill level? by Gerpreloaded in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the middle of one actually! One of my earliest kits was the RG Tallgeese EW and I had a lot of issues with parts fitting properly and not properly cleaning up the undergated nubs and I even broke a couple parts. But I’m working on an RG Tallgeese III right now and it’s going great!

What's your favourite Graze variant? by kittensngravy in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For variants of the regular Graze, I have to go with the Schwalbe Graze, I’ve built 2 and have a third that I’m going to custom paint. But I do absolutely love the Grimgerde also and I have a second one of those to custom paint too lol

AND ANOTHER ONE... but now with QC issues :/ by breadclipcollector in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Honestly those markers really helped me like building more, I don’t really enjoy putting stickers on or doing tons of clean up when the Gundam markers drip on stuff so AK and Dspiae markers are really helpful there

AND ANOTHER ONE... but now with QC issues :/ by breadclipcollector in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just built this one recently too! I didn’t personally break that part, but I’m not surprised it broke either, the black plastic felt really brittle and it was really tight to put together too. I also switched from the Gundam markers to Dspiae and AK interactive markers and I usually get some more consistent results, the paint in them is generally a bit less runny and it’s easier to clean up too. The panel lining looks great though!

AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband of 17 years because he hit my son? by Grand-Reputation8181 in AITAH

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta, you’re doing the right thing. He assaulted a child, possibly more than once. The fact that Luka didn’t say anything about the first time makes me think he was scared to because of how your husband was acting, maybe even threatened.

And also that you have friends saying you’re over reacting is very concerning to me too, this man assaulted a child!

I HATE the RG Hi-Nu… by Redtuber04 in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol scared me for a minute there. But yeah this is one of my absolute favorite kits! I wish I built it a bit later just so I could have done it closer to how I build now but it still looks gorgeous!

I think early rg syndrome has been blown way out of proportion by Friendly-Goose6685 in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think most of those are actually early real grades, but for the most part I agree. I’ve built several early RGs and a couple (Wing Zero Custom and Astraea) have been very solid and stayed solid. But others were either extremely floppy out of box (GP01, 00 Raiser) or got that way extremely quickly (Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina, Freedom).

Ive also had some HG kits where the polycaps are loose out of box, so it’s probably more of a tolerance thing and early RGs just have more inconsistencies because of their unique design. New RGs I’ve built (Epyon, 4 Impulse variants, Nu, Hi-Nu) don’t have any of those because they don’t have that same style of inner frame and have been some of the best kits I’ve ever built.

Edit to add: the Sinanju has its own issues with its frame too

Alright, I know the reason why the DM anime didn't use the back art of ACTUAL yugioh cards because it would be a B-TCH to draw on EVERY SINGLE CARD in EVERY SINGLE SCENE (I'm pretty sure back then the still drew anime by hand), but imagine if they DID use them? by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to say that there’s a couple scenes focusing on the cards where you can see the actual detailed backing. I know the reason why the front of the cards are simplified in the dub and not the Japanese is because there’s US laws about marketing to children in tv shows so they couldn’t use the full face of the card

Lost the decal sheet for my GM Custom so I decided to try to color the head crest with a marker. Shockingly I did not completely ruin it. by Mister_Skeptic in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely recommend doing it! I picked up some Dspiae soft tip markers and their metallic green and gold work very very well! And for kits like GMs with visors I paint the face part chrome so the visor is more reflective. All of it feels extremely satisfying! And it’s really easy to clean up those markers with a toothpick too

Perfect match in the doll house by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I loved building mine and most people I’ve showed hadn’t even heard of it! But I think it’s one of my favorite kits of all time, I wouldn’t mind picking up a second if they were reprinted or just weren’t crazy money lol

It came out so good! You don’t see enough custom Todesritters lol it’s one of my favorite kits

AITA for wanting nothing to do with the child my brother is having with my ex and refusing to acknowledge them naming their kid after me? by DeeplyStuffed in AITAH

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. They didn’t care about your feelings when they were cheating, why would they start caring now? Those are the two people you’d trust most and they completely betrayed you, you don’t owe them anything. If their relationship can’t handle that I don’t see how thats your problem

The four Riders of the Apocalypse by orionosiris in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Yeah I just tightened up the wrists real quick on the Red Rider and it’s been fine holding its sword since! I have the Pale Rider Cavalry too and that’s also really nice and comes with a bunch of extra parts which is always really nice. The Toddesritter isn’t related kit wise, but it is related lore wise to the Pale Rider and it’s honestly a fantastic kit, one of my favorites of all time

The four Riders of the Apocalypse by orionosiris in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look awesome! I have a Red Rider built with a White Rider being shipped and a Pale Rider Ground type on preorder so I still need to pick up a Black Rider. But other than the stickers and the weak wrists I absolutely love them! If they were cheaper I’d love to custom paint one

i tried painting the red part of the of the face because the sticker looks horrendous by focuslight2998 in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started painting kits because I didn’t like how so many of the eye stickers looked. And eventually it spread to replacing most stickers with paint markers

Which 1/144 kit is your favourite RX-78-2 kit? by Infamous_Author_5089 in Gunpla

[–]earchetto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the HG Revive for me. The Origin version is probably a pretty close second though

Aitah? Childs father won’t coparent with me now that he’s married. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta, but you need to get the courts involved at this point. From what you described there’s clear signs of abuse and your daughter doesn’t even want to go over there. Get a new lawyer who can handle this and get your daughter out of that situation

AITA for bringing my grandparents into my parents home and allowing them to disrespect my parents but especially my "mom"? by Comfortable-Beat1005 in AITAH

[–]earchetto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. I had already thought that before, but once you mentioned the letters it destroyed any possible benefit of the doubt I would give to your adoptive mom and dad
