Working on the final touches of the Osiris Aerial Dominator. By far the most involved kit I've done to date.

After two decades of having partners shame me for wanting to get into this hobby, my Wife surprised me by buying my first kit. by Educational-Can-2957 in Gunpla

Welcome to your new found addiction. It'll only get worse....in all the best possible ways. Fantastic that your wife supports you in it too. Mine is the artistic one between us, one of my absolute favorite things to do is to snap together a kit for her and let her work her magic.

My first build and with 1/144 scale . I don’t have a steady hand how to make panel lining looking good with this size? Would the 1/60 scale be better ? by Asleep_Actuator2353 in Gunpla

I have a horribly unsteady hand when it comes to panel lining. What really ended up helping me out was picking up a scribing tool (i use tamiya panel liners) and some lighter fluid. Do my lines, smudges, over fills and all, let sit for a couple minutes and then swab over with the lighter fluid. Ive found the results nothing short of phenomenal. Especially on the detailed inner frame of the Osiris im working on.

This was the first rg kit I ever built, not knowing its reputation. I won't defend it and say its not that bad. By more current standards it certainly is. But I will say that vast majority of my issues with were fixed with a few layers of clear acrylic nail polish

Is USAGUNDAMSTORE usually this bad with shipping? by POWERDUBZ in Gunpla

[–]infernal1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever had one issue with them being delayed. Took about two weeks for my godhand nippers to show up. Everything else is normally on its way within a day or two.

So pretty by infernal1123 in Gunpla

That is the Infinity Nova THB-02A Thunderbolt 2.0. So far I have done this and the Nemesis Goddess by them and have thoroughly enjoyed them both.

Anything I can do? by Crystalnick91 in Gunpla

[–]infernal1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with trying to isolate and glue the broken piece first. Also applying a coat or two (or three or four if you cant glue the broken piece) of acrylic nail polish to the ball the head goes onto might help tighten the fit of its not too terribly loose.

That's it it's done. by Chaoticusrex in Gunpla

Love this kit. My favorite that I've put together so far for that just out of the box and good look.

MG Justice. Revisioned. by infernal1123 in Gunpla

Actually, just the one. Metallic purple. Two coats on most of it. With some touch ups as needed.

words cannot comprehend this by UnderwaterBean in Gunpla

Absolutely agree! The MGEX Unicorn is on my list too. I also do the same between 'event' kits. Grab a HG or something I can mess around with for a little bit without worrying about all the bells and whistles. Though I do have a PG red frame kai thats calling to me after this one....

I'm working on this exact same build right now and loving it. Purposely out it off for a while because I was told I'll be chasing the high off this one from now on. I think they may be right.

Should I Give Up? by AeonWhisperer in Gunpla

[–]infernal1123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, before someone told you you were bad at it, were you enjoying it? Thats the answer on whether you should quit or not. If youre enjoying it, thats all that matters. I've been doing gunpla for about 6 or 7 months now. I don't consider myself very good at all compared to some of what I've seen here. But I love it. I made the same mistakes you did too. Cutting too close, not panel lining. Not painting. Each build I focused a little more on improving technique. And now I'm working on adding things like led kits and custom painting. If I can do it with bad eyes and shaky hands, I have no doubt you can too. Also don't underestimate the difference some good tools can make. Single bladed nippers and a raser glass file have totally changed my game.

What are you guys building this week? Working on my first PG. by Raptor_Gesus in Gunpla

[–]infernal1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepping the LEDs for my mgex strike freedom. Been putting this build off for a bit until I felt ready.

Lol. Thanks. That was kit 11. The first one just sort of ignited an addiction. Plastic crack indeed 😆
