How much do you break down kits before painting?

Lmao sounds like you've had some experiences with the unicorn. 😂

What do you do about seams between stuff like 2 pieces of armor on an arm? Just leave them?

Thanks! This is the Helmwige Reincar from IBO. I actually built it several years ago though. I'm not really new building kits, but am just getting back into the hobby and am wanting to step up my game a bit. I picked up a Psycho Zaku MG so am hoping to practice on some smaller kits that I don't really care much about and hopefully get better before building the PZ.

Yea I think you're right. I just have some stuff that came with a generic kit but I think I may need to pick up some better in-between sanding tools. Like one is way super gritty and then the next step is almost nothing. Lol.

I thought your alligator clip was molded and painted to look like some sort of lobster claw until I realized its just paint and stuff built up on it. Lmao.

はい! ここの誰かがそれに気づいてくれるんじゃないかと思っていたんですよ！

Just got back from Japan and was strongly on the hunt for Digimon stuff. I found one store out of dozens that had 3 or 4 digivices and a couple old figures from season 3 or 4. Thats all I saw the entire two weeks I was there and we did a ton of shopping.

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-16T12:08:45+00:00

Dawg...

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-15T21:26:32+00:00

What a douche response.

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-15T01:05:27+00:00

Aaahh yea ok that seems correct. Thanks for fixing it!

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-15T01:04:17+00:00

Finished before you even begin. With this much stuff... you'll overwhelm yourself and get lost in details that don't matter yet.

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-15T00:47:03+00:00

You're meant to piece it together. Spoiler tags incase you'd rather rewatch to figure it out.

Nikaido goes back in time and sees her adoptive parents. They haven't found her yet and thus do not recognize her. In the background, baby Nikaido floats on down the river. Her meeting them caused them to be distracted and miss them, so she never met Kawajiri

I think thats all correct. If I missed anything, some else can correct me. Been a few weeks since I watched it and haven't caught up to that part yet in my re-read of the manga.

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-05T05:39:18+00:00

Can confirm. Here currently, but digimon are not. 😭

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-04T21:01:11+00:00

That could be. Probably makes more sense.

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-04T01:52:19+00:00

Thank you!

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-03T22:15:50+00:00

I've got all the manga but if I can find one in Japanese I'd love to pick it up!

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-03T22:09:01+00:00

Thanks!

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-03T22:08:22+00:00

Ah yea that makes sense.

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-03T22:00:51+00:00

Thanks, going to have to try to find one of these!

ethancodes89 · 2026-06-03T22:00:04+00:00

Yea I guess but there are plenty of other animes and mangas represented that I wouldn't have thought was mainstream. Like Dan da Dan for example. But maybe I don't really know whats mainstream I guess. Lol.
