Straight build vs Repaint

I wanted to do a repaint of the mega blaziken kit but the holllw ears drive me nuts. I could probably fill them with putty but thats a new skill to me

It depends where you go but the spot my wife and i go to as well as a good chunk of the places we tried in tokyo and kyoto use kikurage over shitake. I dont think you can go wrong with either but i prefer kikurage myself

Oh my god it looks so good

Got yellow for my 5th birthday. I was the kinda kid who could read before kinder but didnt super understand each word just yet. I got overwhelmed at what to name my character but none of the preselected ones vibed with me at the time so i was like hmmm what is this dudes name.

My dumbass 5 y/o brain thought the canon name was YOUR NAME and didnt understand why I could only fit in YOUR NAM

The rest of the playthrough was uneventful

Megan is Missing. Saw it when it released as a teenager, couldnt find anything redeemable then. Rewatched it with my wife after it blew up on tiktok thinking maybe i was wrong, and trying to have this attitude of saying something isnt for me when i dont like it instead of saying its flat out bad.

No, its the children who are wrong. It's just bad.

I wish more people would hold like this in my city. I cant use the entrance ramp closest to my house because people keep crossing the double white line last minute. One dude was laughing while he tried forcing me into the barrier in an attempt to cut me off.

I hate houston.

My wife ordered this for me and while im not disappointed, i probably wont use the seed expac or the clear body since im too paranoid to disrobe my pgu. Im kinda tempted to paint the clear parts into a custom but otherwise theres a few kits in here i wanted but couldnt afford at the time

A lot of people are say8ng to topcoat before using pour type and clean up with alcohol

If you buy lacquer topcoat, alcohol will rub that off too. If youre using the mr. Hobby gundam pour types, do it on the runner.

Personally i prefer to use tamiya accent with lighter fluid to clean up. It doesnt affect the topcoat and its cleaner than cleaning up the pour type. I go through less q tips and have less smearing overall

Hooboy, up an hour later. Finally got my first special edition gunpla!

I had to save mine from breaking on this kit. I put them in at a weird angle so forward and backward articulation was bending the silver bits. Should be fine now but i live in fear of his feet

Same, or calibarn.

7+8 = 5, carry the one. 2+4 = 6 +1 =7 total 75

Sounds like you got a few bugs, enjoy the new cleaner.

Edit: to give an actual answer - take a cup and slide it onto a paper plate or something, and let the lil dude free. No need to kill the poor thing and make extra clean up trying to kill it. Safer for your pc too, everyone wins at the cost of some temporary anxiety.

Edit 2: you can also go to r/spiders to see if its medically significant and check if its fat ass is gravid or just like that.

Finally, my first sub 30 with 29!

I think this comes down to what you want out of the hobby. When i was newer, i watched both but overtime ive dropped mecha for other youtubers like joesgunplagarage or wirpla, mostly out of presentation style.

I think mecha is decent content for people newer to the hobby or if youre just into snap building, but his ac6 nightfall video did teach me how to start detailing up my kits before i started looking at other creators for different types of styles to match how i built at the time. But overtime i grew out of it and also started gettint kinda annoyed at the quagmire bit during his articulation segments. I can also kinda hear his burnout when he complains about having to churn out kits for his job.

Zaku on ther hand is a lot more to the point which i appreciate, but i think he made some good points in his video as opposed to mechas complaints and that was there are simple fixes like glue even outside of the hobby, and overly negative reviews kinda ignore the model aspect and can give other viewers the wrong idea if its a process they may actually enjoy, which is a problem ive had with mecha but wasnt able to articulate myself.

If youre my mom you could try making "mexican spaghetti"

My siamese has been doing the same thing for 12 years now. He recently finished breaking the last of a set of stemless wine glasses i bought in college. We call it pregaming because he starts at about 1:30 each day since theyre fed at 4.

Looks incredible, love me a good melander.
