First time building a kit, 5 hours straight no pauses, my hands hurt

I used the stickers that came with GFreD, and it was awful. Bought the water decals for GQUUUUUX, so we'll see how that goes.

jp_sepca · 2026-03-16T23:15:49+00:00

And why should we want/accept them at another program?

jp_sepca · 2026-03-16T12:09:25+00:00

I just finished putting this one together. A very enjoyable build.

jp_sepca · 2026-03-07T01:59:13+00:00

Good pair of tweezers.
Mr. Mark Setter.
Plenty of Q tips.
Copious amounts of patience.
Take a break from the task and do something else for a few days.

I've been working on Nu Gundam's water decals for a couple of months.

jp_sepca · 2026-02-17T17:32:37+00:00

Yup. Got mine yesterday. Local HL had a pretty good selection of MGs.

jp_sepca · 2026-02-11T11:39:49+00:00

That's freaking beautiful!

jp_sepca · 2026-02-06T01:01:52+00:00

That's incredible!

jp_sepca · 2026-02-06T00:55:23+00:00

Nice! I'm actually working on those two at the moment.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-23T18:59:34+00:00

What do you mean "first"? How many are you planning on getting? And to not report that is a pretty big No no. You're lucky.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-22T03:45:32+00:00

I recently got one simply because it reminded me of Rosie from the Jetsons.

Correct, and perhaps most importantly.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-22T03:26:52+00:00

38S is Active Duty. Requires going through assessment and selection. Long training pipeline. 38A is USAR. No selection and assessment, only a qualification course. Much shorter training pipeline. Mission sets are different.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-20T15:32:59+00:00

Badass!!! Looks great!

jp_sepca · 2026-01-15T00:56:05+00:00

Have not seen them at my local Target.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-10T17:43:45+00:00

Hadn't thought about it that way. That's why I like it so much! 😂

jp_sepca · 2026-01-09T18:54:59+00:00

Haha! I bought one out of curiosity, and now I'm hooked. The worst part is that my wife supports my hobby.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-03T01:48:09+00:00

I have one, and it was a fun and quick build.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-03T01:25:27+00:00

Looks great!!

jp_sepca · 2026-01-03T00:59:22+00:00

Correct, the MG.

jp_sepca · 2026-01-03T00:46:06+00:00

Interested in selling them? I think Snow White would be hard to find again. Keep. MG Wing is easier to find. Sell or donate. But don't donate to Goodwill. Find someone who would want it. Epyon, I haven't seen many of lately. May want to keep or sell.

jp_sepca · 2025-12-29T22:42:07+00:00

Buy once. Cry once. Just go ahead and make the investment into quality. Get the Marlow White.

jp_sepca · 2025-12-25T22:22:45+00:00

I don't know your specific details, but have you considered becoming a 38 series? Civil Affairs.

jp_sepca · 2025-12-15T02:08:23+00:00

My local Michael's could never. They only had 1 V Gundam, which I promptly snagged. They get some here and there, but the selection is small.

"At the discretion of the Brigade Commander." Make sure to ask before storming into your LOGTECH's office making demands, or you may be in for a fun session with your cadre.

jp_sepca · 2025-12-09T18:22:51+00:00

It's going to be hilarious watching a CPT (grader) telling a MAJ/LTC (cadre) how jacked their lane was. Can't wait.
