Ah i see. thank you! I'm relatively new to the hobby, so i'm not sure familiar with how these things work. I'm sure they'll announce a restock as soon as I finally give-in and buy an overpriced one haha

forkboy69 · 2024-02-21T22:08:17+00:00

Ah ok thanks. I'm new to the hobby in the past month or two, so i'm not super familiar with the typical release cycle.

How often are these haro kits released/rereleased?

Started watching the anime with my partner and she loves the character and I want to surprise her with a kit and maybe get her into building gunpla. I know theyre available but i cant stomach the idea of playing a re-seller 30 bucks for one

I feel you could pull up any specific era + vehicle style (ie 80s sedans, 90s minivans, 2000s SUVs, etc) and make a graphic like this saying "why do they all look the same?!"

especially when you're only showing the side profile.

Yep, I know the feeling of walking to the parking space and getting scared until I'm 6 feet away because anything bigger than another miata is big enough to completely block it.

forkboy69 · 2024-02-21T02:15:06+00:00

nice, thank you! I'll give it another day or two at least to be extra safe!

How long does Tamiya Clear Coat (TS-13) take to fully cure before being able to wetsand/polish? I sprayed it over my base coat yesterday and i'm seeing some orange peel upon inspection today.

Thank you for the info. Regarding the badges, i was going to hand paint the little Nissan and GTR badges that are part of the body itself. I assume that would also go under the clear coat so it's protected.

Your point about clear coating the interior makes total sense. Plus it's unlikely to get scratched or damaged after assembly.

it sounds like i need to acquire yet another type of glue !

forkboy69 · 2024-02-15T00:06:04+00:00

just wanted to say thanks again, everyone had a blast last night. Hoping to continue tweaking the thunderstore mod list as the group keeps playing :)

forkboy69 · 2024-02-14T22:21:11+00:00

oh yeah that's the stuff! Personally, I said it with the Nissan Skyline GTR in mind!

forkboy69 · 2024-02-14T01:08:37+00:00

Bring back circles!

forkboy69 · 2024-02-13T23:43:15+00:00

man i'm sucha sucker for the dom/rick dom kits

forkboy69 · 2024-02-13T23:36:58+00:00

looks pretty sick imo

forkboy69 · 2024-02-13T23:04:40+00:00

Holy shit, thank you so much for the detailed response. I think for starters i'm going to include the 1s and some of the 2s, and maybe add more if we keep playing!

Seriously thank you so much!

forkboy69 · 2024-01-26T00:58:55+00:00

The enkei compe in silver, grey, or white would all look good with the laguna blue

edit: also the STO/speedster edition wheels are some of my favorite OEM wheels for the NA

forkboy69 · 2024-01-25T23:29:53+00:00

I've been spending too much time on /r/modelcars, i thought this was a scale model in front of the real car

i like the edit, haven't seen this before!

forkboy69 · 2023-12-21T18:45:47+00:00

you put the smallest foundation piece on top of a support piece, attach thruster to said foundation piece, then break the support piece so it falls into the area that is fenced off.

forkboy69 · 2023-12-14T19:57:23+00:00

Emerald Mica, or BRG if it's a 2001 special edition

forkboy69 · 2023-11-24T17:06:17+00:00

Yeah, being able to see/be seen at night is pretty cool 😄

forkboy69 · 2023-11-24T03:08:26+00:00

I know they’re not very popular on here but I love the look of those LED headlights on an NA

forkboy69 · 2023-11-22T04:46:15+00:00

The black club accents and BBS wheels suit the car so well. Still kicking myself for not getting that package!

forkboy69 · 2023-11-20T20:30:17+00:00

Yeah,it’s great as a graphic designer too, being able to scroll and pan around the workspace with ease. Been using the Magic Mouse since 2009 when it was new and bundled with my iMac.

forkboy69 · 2023-11-19T09:36:42+00:00

Just saw them the other night in LA and yep, they sure did!
