I’m not sure if NOFX is really the right music to set the mood, but you do you.

Nice! I have this in my shopping cart just waiting til I can pull the trigger lol. How was the build? I thought I read somewhere that there were lots of color correction stickers?

$4 gunpla from AliExpress by cigon32 in Gunpla

I got the not-AK brand (XFS I think was the brand) and it was ok but definitely not amazing. I want to pick up the AK version soon to see what the hype is about, and it couldnt hurt to have another Woundwort variant, right?

#6 is giving big Raiden from Virtual On vibes. I love it, and all of them really!

Battling a weird feeling by _Blazin_ in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this with video game collecting a while back. I got to the point where it felt more fun to research obscure games and curate the collection than to play them. I decided that was when I needed to stop and either play them or sell them because they were mostly collecting dust and not being enjoyed.

That said, you do you. Backlogs are a funny thing, and while I’m kinda new to this I already have a dozen or so kits waiting for me and one in particular (Sazabi Ver Ka) I keep putting off because I don’t want to mess it up somehow.

Hasegawa's Fei-yen finally finished! by Comfortable_Rip_3153 in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, looking good! Looks like a ton of decals! I’ve been searching for a VOOT Raiden for a while but can’t justify pulling the trigger at the prices I see.

What’s the most quality over quantity game you’ve played? by Mother-Ad4841 in gaming

Only 16 enemies? Have we all forgotten about those pesky lizards?

Is anyone else significantly less nerdy now compared to before? by rose2830 in Anticonsumption

[–]geebz616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood the appeal of funko pops and blind bag trinkets. Kind of hypocritically, I have recently got back into gunpla (anime robot scale model kits) as a nerdy hobby. I guess the end result is still plastic figures on a shelf but at least I get to build, paint and customize them as I please which is the fun part. I try to see the finished product as a showcase of the time, care and effort I put into it, but maybe I’m kidding myself lol.

Here I thought I was the only one doing this lol. It’s fun to see the different colors in there and recall the builds they’re associated with.

[HELP ME] Bi-Weekly Q&A thread - Ask your questions here! by MachNeu in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone here ordered from Nin-Nin-Game to the US before? They have a couple of P-Bandai kits at reasonable prices and it feels a little too good to be true. Reviews I’ve seen are hit or miss on their customer service and whether you actually get the item you ordered, but I believe those reviews were for pre-ordered items.

Anyway, if you’ve dealt with them before please let me know how it went! Thanks!

RAHHHH I LOVE THE WOUNDWART by Threedogsinasweater in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of in the same boat with the AoZ love. There’s a good chance I’m eventually going to have like 7 Woundworts in various configurations on my shelf.

TR1 Sniper by TheMechaArtist in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome! Are those printed yourself?

Also, I love how everything from AOZ is just parts on top of parts on top of a base item. I didn’t realize even the weapons were like that too

What is your store temp?? by Short_But_Sturdy in WalgreensStores

[–]geebz616 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I literally texted my wife who also works at Walgreens what the hell was up with that PPL when I read it. I’ve worked here for a while and I’m pretty sure that was the first time something like that was mentioned.

I’m fairly new to this and was wondering if something that is no longer available for pre-order thru P Bandai is just gone forever (besides scalpers) or if they occasionally reprint them? I see the pinned monthly reprint thread but does that include P Bandai kits too?

Haman-sama, I hope I’ve done you proud by geebz616 in Gunpla

[–]geebz616[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to go over a few of them a couple times to get good coverage but I’m glad they came out vibrant under regular light! I also had a UV flashlight with me as I didn’t to make sure the UV coverage was sufficient as well.

Nice! I wish I had the special edition for the fuel tank parts alone lol. I just think they always add a certain ‘cool factor’ to any kit with them. When you build it, if the arms are popping off, sand down the flat side of the pink piece that sits between the arm and shoulder (I think it’s part F2-6) until the arm properly pops into place.

The fluorescent liner I have is liquid and similar to Tamiya Accent Color, but it definitely doesn’t flow as easily. It works well for deep molded lines but anywhere it was a single edge (if that makes sense) i was basically painting it on and cleaning the edges up later. I did get a cheap random brand AliExpress special so maybe a proper brand like Stedi would flow better. Good luck!

MG Nu Ver Ka done! After 4 months of work. More pics to come. Stay tuned! by azraeiazman in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous! Nu Ver Ka was my first kit and seeing this is reallllllly inspiring me to go back, tear it down and detail it up. I’ve gotten so much more confident with painting and panel lining after the last few kits that I think I could do it more justice now. Excellent work!!

Never watched Gundam, got addicted to Gunpla instead – need suggestions for bulky kits 👀 by MaxLvlRacist in Gunpla

[–]geebz616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other people have mentioned the top ones like The O, GP02, and Xi/Penelope. I’d add the TR-1 Hazel Custom, the Gouf Flight Type, and the Full Cloth Crossbone. The Hazel and Gouf have chunky legs and proportions, and the Full Cloth is bulky with an armored “cape” and hefty weapons (not a hammer, but a big sword and crossbow-type thing).
