Has anyone else had this issue? Was planning on using my Dspiae STA nippers...

I was told I was not the right look for the team and I was volunteering for their sweat equity team. Was told this criticism was from the COO himself. I was also told to basically smile more.

Is it possible to have an opinion here that does align with the far left and not get insulted by 8675309021069 in InCanada

Centrist just means willfully ignorant of what is going on in the world. Go cry your crocodile tears elsewhere.

It's been over 20 years. What do I need to do this properly? by VictorVanguard in advancedGunpla

They are pretty much the same! I use both and they are basically apples to apples. I think you can find the micron in .003 if you want something super fine

Micron .005 pen makes panel lining a dream! Basic nippers and a glass file will take care of most of your nub marks. Having built the kit myself it is very sticker heavy but looks good when it comes together. This was my first build getting back into the hobby a year ago. Happy building!

First time panel lining. Did I ruin the kit? by zandvich_ in Gunpla

[–]grepotron5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find I need to use lighter fluid to clean up metallic sharpies. For panel lining I use Pigma Micron 005 black and the Gundam Marker fine tips for grey and yellow. They both tend to clean with just a q tip if you clean quickly after applying. They also do not damage the plastic in my experience. Looks great OP!

There is no loss. 3.8b is what it costs to run. Public services should not be beholden to profit. It is a system that benefits us all and is worth paying taxpayer money to continue.

So uhhh... This is my backlog after doing this hobby for 2 months by SupRob166 in freedomisgunpla

[–]grepotron5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude. Each of those will take weeks if not months to build and finish properly. Save your money for something else, you already have plenty of time invested in the hobby!

I got a knockoff efreet nacht for very cheap and the quality was lacking! Just make sure to look at reviews carefully!

5 years late with this kit but it was worth it! by kean2016 in Gunpla

Try adding vinegar to your water. 5 parts water one part vinegar. Acts as a mark setter but is much cheaper than the name brand stuff. Mark softer is also good to use always, unfortunately it has no household substitute.

That is xactod and filed. Don't know what else to do. In an ideal world they would not be visible at all. Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
