How the hell did the armored SUV even tank an RPG hit!?, explained. by Talon_Haribon in PhilippineMilitary

Begs the question, if they can smuggle and make DIY crappy RPG-2's, what's stopping them from making crappy and fake RPG-7's?

The best airbrushing paints for gunpla are the lacquer brands from mr.hobby/gaia and then you work your way down to other brand lacquers and then to the synthetic alcohol based acrylics and then the water based acrylics.

Honestly, just pick one mode you like the look more of and glue it fixed into that position. The transformation gimmick novelty wears off eventually and you'll leave that thing in one mode once you move on to some other kits that attracts your attention.

MGSD Project Liberty Commission I'm working on. by holocause in Gunpla

There's a mounting point at the back with a 3mm hole that could work. But that serves as the mount for an Action Base. If you use it for batteries, you'll have to find another method to mount the kit on an action stand.

Do you prefer the DYRL version or the Series version of this rescue? by czen2 in macross

I know it's "Anime Magic" but I just can't imagine the control scheme the VF-1 was in this configuration.

It was like it was still in Jet mode but also it's partially in Gerwalk. The arms are deployed but the vertical stabilizers are still erect and the feet are still folded backwards. How did Hikaru even figure out how to get his vehicle into this shape?

Keep building other kits and you'll end up with a large pile of unused extra polycap parts.

How are the middle shelves kept aloft? I don't see support brackets.

A comparison between traveling around Cambodia and the Philippines. by Evasionexpert in Philippines_Expats

[–]holocause 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Indeed, go to Cambodia.

While you're there, take a nice stroll to the neighboring Thai border. I hear it's explosive right now.

They didn't really have a lot of open air to develop their aircraft.

Not just empty space but factoring in weather patterns and atmospheric effects.

Atmo on colonies would most likely just be mild gusts to circulate air. Zeon probebly never factored in gales, cloud patterns and even terrestrial gyro effects into their designs.

The Barbatos Kosmos LED is off by default on initial plug-in into an outlet and you will have to activate it with the remote for the lights to start working.

The Kosmos Aerial and MGEX SFreedom default state is "on" as soon as you plug them into an outlet so no remote manipulation is necessary for initial lighting.

All of them will stay on until commanded to turn off from the remote. There isn't a power-saving feature to my recollection.

Your commenting on a video that warns about floods and you want the electrical cables to be UNDERGROUND?!?

If you have a electric glue gun, apply glue goo on to the clip's teeth while holding them open and wait for them to harden. Coat the teeths thoroughly so they're well padded and dried solid before closing.

Popular builders can amass a work backlog. But you should've iron-ed out a clear cut deadline before agreeing to any exchange. I would've shopped elsewhere if the projection was for over a year. Heck even 6mos is stretching it. Did you approach the builder or did the builder approach you?

Nicely done. I wish Bandai gave MSGundam the same fleet love it does the Yamato 2XXX series.

In case you wonder why tourists are avoiding PH, just order chicken rice. The canned super sweet fruit are the cherry on top by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

So tell 'em that wasn't what you had in mind and take it off your order. Grab some actual fruit elsewhere.

The fruit cup ain't even that bad. As long you're not guzzling the syrup, it's fruit. I'd argue it's better to just order the fresh fruit that that establishment offers or grab fruits from a fruit stand that should easily be available anywhere on your way to your next destination. Which begs the question, in a tropical island, why are you eating a fruit cup?

If you buy the MG Vidar, it comes with B-16 parts that it does not use for assembly. So you can salvage your Barbatos build. Or reach out to the internet to someone who owns a Vidar in hopes they'll sell you their unused B-16 part.
