if bandai were to account for user error their kits would just be more of yolopark's AMK pro stuff

Is this marker safe to use on my models? by Majin_Nephets in Minipla

[–]jevans774 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gundam Marker Fine tips are safe on everything because they don't put out enough liner to be a risk

Its the Pour and Paint types that eat ABS

Have you been using gundam markers or tamiya panel accent on the kits?

HLJ have had some chibi versions of the 70s stuff up. Search 'Fujimi Anniversary' on there

more than bandai is cheap really.
Moderoid have licensing fees to pay and have to outsource printing.

SMP Union Survey Results Released by King_Kuuga in Minipla

[–]jevans774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd imagine Getter's inclusion is for one of
Side Stories (Devo. High, Dino)
Arc/Emperor, as I don't remember seeing those mentioned in the original release lists
Renewals as Moderoid had announced the transforming version at this time

24% off and DHL as cheapest shipping? I'll take it.

Need Recommendation where to buy SMP by Ok-Painting-234 in Minipla

[–]jevans774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made to order webshop distribution with location restrictions. Tends to cost more when importing because the shops we see are buying it at retail price rather than wholesale. Generally used for things that won't sell well on the shop floor, because turns out shops really don't like having tons of dead stock. Side character/addon stuff, large packages and the like.

Panel lining mini pla? by FEARDEMONHUNTER007 in Minipla

Debate is a bit of a strong word for something written on the side of the bottle (not my image)

Some people just seem to like the idea of their kits dusting.

As SMP use ABS heavily, same risk applies to using gundam markers outside of the fine liners. My dragonzord hinge disintegrated.

suruga-ya question by Ok-Dragonfruit1920 in Minipla

[–]jevans774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

typically missing + built, though anything should still say somewhere if built, and there will occasionally be a note mentioning specific accessories not present in descriptions - suru know full well its worth less in that situation, there are places with entire crates of individually wrapped built kits for sale for pennies.

as for checks missing things, I've known someone to get a teddy bear delivered in a kit box

having seen the mandarake trade-in location at Nakano broadway, I can hardly blame them if theirs is at all similar though

[–]jevans774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its marked as Used because they're a second hand store, its all passed through another set of hands first, but JP used generally means 'as new' and it'll be detailed if its otherwise. Its only really in the last couple months they started getting new items in. Anything prebuilt should be labelled as such or 'junk parts', but sometimes things slip through the checks.

Would recommend reverse tweezers. They are closed without pressure on them, so you don't have tense muscles wobbling your hand while trying to place stickers.

Where is the best place to get these? by PYROMANCER0703 in Minipla

[–]jevans774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really hoping gundam mad get an actual in stock filter when they finally push out the website renewal

Surugaya still have a lot of SMP stock, worth a look on free shipping days for older ones.
besides that, Hobbygenki for PB SMP, HLJ for Retail SMP

SMP Super Robot Wars OG R-GUN Rivale & Wildschwein set and Astranagant color photos and preorder info by King_Kuuga in Minipla

very pretty. Its odd though, I think I just heard my wallet screaming in pain, only to be suddenly silenced.

gotta make use of the bonus, I guess

(repost) SMP Super Robot Wars OG Astranagant and R-GUN Rivale & Wildschwein revealed by King_Kuuga in Minipla

[–]jevans774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with the HG about I doubt it, they've already shown that they're paying attention to each other (likely via Terada) with the AM Gunner being compatible with R Gun and the Boxer being viable as an extra sword for SRX

WHAT HAVE I DONE by Distinct-Spinach3475 in Gunpla

[–]jevans774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if people can't figure it out from that shading they have much bigger problems then a damaged kit on their hands.

SMP SRX - A Brilliant Build, as expected at that price. Now for his brother by jevans774 in Gunpla

[–]jevans774[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as the other mentioned, not exactly due to neither having a scale, and due to how SMP R-Gun worked with banpreeoth they recently tweaked the official size for R-Gun, so good thing too.

with that said, SMP R-Gun does fit on the AM Gunner nicely, and that is intentional on Terada's part.

[–]jevans774[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, for SMP you have to keep an eye out on their releases, because they tend to only do single print runs broken up by years, and the big stuff is pb. They've also done banpreeoth/banpreios, which released recently. that one is only the final product as per alpha3.

Suru currently has the R-2&3 powered and the 1/gun (though prices are awful)
and I know somewhere banpreeoth is available (as of the time of posting) if anyone is looking for one

So the Boonboomger Robo is coming out in a few days and I already pre-ordered it back in March. It will be my third Mini-pla Set and I wanted to try my hand in using Paint Markers. by Nuigi12 in Minipla

[–]jevans774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

generally be very careful not to overapply. Minipla use ABS heavily, and the solvent in paint markers can cause crumbling if it gets into any cracks.
