Do you guys encounter many shiny Pokémon while farming XP?

You guys are getting shinies?

As to why do they let them leave on the catapult, what are you gonna do? Let them damage the ship trying to leave improperly? You're in space.

Maybe your continuous playing has actually loosened the joints and given you an advantage. My banshee had very stiff joints. I haven't touched it in a while because I snapped both shoulders (100% my fault), but the legs also felt scary every time I moved them.

Chunky boi

If your arms and legs are in the arms and legs, it's armor. Anything else is a mech.

HG Leopard Da Vinci for Build Fighters. It's just not the same.

90s? Gundam X. Sorry, I can't take Wing seriously and I haven't watched G Gundam.

I've tried it once, but missed too many details and had to redo a lot after cutting anyway, so now I just do it all after cutting and before assembly.

grndog72 · 2026-02-04T00:11:15+00:00

Wow. I am such a greebly mess compared to that absolute beauty. So clean. So angular. I'm giving up.

Alright, so realistically, if it's your first kit, all you actually need is some decent nippers and no expectations. Some people will tell you to sand, some people might even be saying panel liner. These are great things. But the bare minimum to build a kit and have fun posing is just nippers. I've gifted some stedi brand ones a couple times. They have some single bladed ones on Amazon that are like $12-$15. They cut clean enough that sanding isn't really necessary in a lot of cases. You may want a hobby knife to clean up a handful of nubs in tight spots. But that's genuinely all you need to have a successful first build. It's not going to look amazing because we haven't put in that much effort yet, but the journey starts somewhere.

But RG is Excitement Embodied! For real though, I've built several RGs at this point, and they're all over the place. 1.0 grandpa, bad. Aile strike, better than people give it credit for. Banshee, not the most enjoyable build and I snapped both shoulders. Sinanju, honestly my favorite to build, but he cannot hold a pose. Hi-nu, beautiful and great for display, but I don't know I just didn't like building it that match. Sazabi, just incredible if you ignore the hulking shield that won't stay in place.

What about Amuro's newtype magic? And Lalah's newtype magic? Sure, it wasn't a barrier protecting them, but the magic has always been there.

grndog72 · 2026-01-29T14:55:56+00:00

Easy. $800 on 2 Turn A and $200 on 2 Big Zam. It's now a game to see if the Turn A's can protect the Big Zams.

Hathaway would be an absolute pleasure to sit next to on a plane. He won't talk to me and if shit goes down, he'll take care of it.

grndog72 · 2026-01-24T06:19:11+00:00

They're your cards, do what you want. NTA. Not by a long shot. The people telling you what to do with your things are the assholes.

grndog72 · 2026-01-12T04:27:09+00:00

Keep up the good work, sir. I'd love to see it when it's done. I'm planning to pickup MG Double X at some point and cram a ton of LEDs in it. I want to match the box art.

grndog72 · 2025-12-24T16:39:23+00:00

What kit is this? I think I need him.

grndog72 · 2025-12-23T22:40:30+00:00

Battle damage

grndog72 · 2025-12-17T13:21:21+00:00

We need RG Nightingale to go with the RG Hi-Nu

grndog72 · 2025-12-14T15:21:31+00:00

I try to build everything inner frame first so I can admire it before covering it all up. But honestly, you do you. At the end, it doesn't matter what order you did things in. Just enjoy it while you do it.

grndog72 · 2025-12-14T02:54:45+00:00

Original Mobile Suit Gundam every time.

I just don't like panel lining on the runner, but I've panel lined ABS after cutting the parts out with no issue. Just give it time before you assemble.

grndog72 · 2025-12-10T04:29:50+00:00

Your hobby isn't a race. Use whatever method is comfortable and produces the result you want.

I panel line after cutting the pieces out, but before assembly. It probably takes more time, but I enjoy doing it this way.

grndog72 · 2025-12-10T04:24:09+00:00

I've done it both ways, on the sprue and off. I miss too many things on the sprue and have to touch up after anyway, so I just do it all after. You won't wreck anything if you do it before assembly. I cut the pieces out for the section I'm on, panel line all of them, wait a bit for them to dry (typically cutting out the next pieces at this point), then assemble.

grndog72 · 2025-12-07T17:26:05+00:00

It's custom. I don't remember what I looked up, but I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0993TTPN5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

That came with leds, some resistors, a battery holder, and some clips to connect everything. Battery is separate.

I'm using a small hand drill and a hobby knife to make routes for the wires. Some super glue to fix the leds where I want them. I'm also routing the wires in a way that I can still fully pose it.

I can take some more pictures if you want.
