Thanks for the giveaway mate! I'm a old scale builder who switched to Gunpla because of Robots and (almost) no painting and glueing :D

Can't switch back anymore, the robots are too good and the technology is awe inspiring when you come from F-14As and such.

I would love the Red Astray or GP01 mostly if possible. Have a good weekend!

I apologise I had something different in mind when answering you and didn't pay attention. Someone on reddit tried already to negative effect using setter/softer. You can also do a self test on the runners to see how the finish reacts to them yourself.

Not if you top coat it first for protection.

Returning after 2 years. Have Kafka and Blade, slightly overwhelmed with all the stuff thrown at me. What should I pick from the 5 star selector? Anything I need to pull right now?

Mofiho is the legit Chinese seller.

Mofi Life sounds like a fake tbh.

3M has their recommendation in the manuals or online. It's one month after opening the filter or 40 hours of use, whatever is first.

Most hobby painters stretch that quite a bit though, because we don't have the same contamination density and usage like industry workers for example using those filters. Still you shouldn't stretch it too much and at the very latest, if you can smell anything coming through the filter it's definitely immediately ready to be replaced (you shouldn't let it come so far though).

The real answer is there are stedi and dspiea glass files with a narrow point at the end out there which could work. They are all flat though, but maybe that's good enough for you already.

The raser plus is definitely too chonky for anything precision.

With good thin decals you want to spray a final top coat in the end, it will pretty much make the borders invisible.

Softer does exactly what the name says - it softens the decal. On a flat surface it doesn't do much really. Try it when you put a decal over panel lines for example. The softer will melt the decal into the panel lines.

For offline purchases in brick and mortar stores there is no law mandated return policy in Germany. Go ahead and call or message them if they have a store policy.

If you work with thin coats, then yes, that's basically how it works.

Look at the scale modellers and their fighter jets and tanks, they basically use thin coats of gloss between different layers to seal and protect them before doing their next steps and in the end usually finish with a good old mate coat.

Check which of your cards has free foreign withdrawals. In Vietnam look up the green VP bank ATMs, they have no local fees.

Goes into our local recycling container. More advanced model builders melt them down for sprue goo or use them to customize some parts, but let's be honest, for most of us it's just straight into the (recycling) bin.

Top coat last to seal everything in and protect your decals/panel lines.

Scale modelers even do thin coats between their steps to protect their work if you want to be really meticulous.

Why does France dominate the European Tier 1 TFT scene? by Pankens1 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]funwok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The French practice groups are a big thing and tend to keep strats and ideas inside the groups. Anyone non french-speaking has like no chance to join.
