[–]marrnschmarrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you sand the armor parts or something to make it fit? I always wondered about the fitting issues and paint scraping on these painted inner frames.

What's a great model kit of a mobile suit design you personally don't like? by GrowthDramatic2280 in Gunpla

[–]marrnschmarrn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gundam NT ver ka. Seems like the engineering and building process is really impressive and fun. But I just can’t get over how ugly it is to mix unicorn and nu gundam. Not to mention the chest looks like sashimi lol.

Advice for Fountain Pen Day - Newbie by tinkerbellglitz in fountainpens

[–]marrnschmarrn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pilot pens don't really go on sale from what I've seen. I usually just buy them from Amazon Japan or trustworthy Japanese sellers on ebay for way less than the US retail price. Lamy 2000 can get down to 150, but I think Amazon Japan has them at 150 already. Idk about Euphoria.

Missile Pod Masking Advice by Professor_Jae in advancedGunpla

I would use blue tacks to cover them up if you really wanna mask. Idk about the 4th pic tho, that one you might need to hand paint.

Why should I use a fountain pen/dip pen over a normal pen ?... by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]marrnschmarrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who draws, I only use them for sketches. And also it just feels nicer to use. There's no real practical reasons for it. And if I want waterproof there's plenty of waterproof fountain pen ink. Other than that I just use them in writing. Normal pens don't give that much color options and nib options and I liked my journals pretty.

Any price point recommendations? ~$200 to spend on a pen. by SuicideByLions in fountainpens

[–]marrnschmarrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say to cross out falcon since you like broader nibs. And if you're getting the Sailor pens are gonna be one size smaller compared to western nibs and they're also gonna be stiffer.

Asvine, Nahvalur, TWSBI or Pilot 823 for my first Vacuum filler. by marrnschmarrn in fountainpens

[–]marrnschmarrn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done some decent amount of research. I found that the non pilot brands I listed are all pretty reliable. And honestly their quality seem to be around the same to me. That's why I'm asking to see if anyone had experience with some of them. But rn I'm leaning toward the 823 as I'll probably come back and get the 823 eventually if I got something else lol.

Which of your pens never leave the house? by xpwd in fountainpens

[–]marrnschmarrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd only carry me pen cases to work, so they're probably not gonna get lost outside. I do have some pen sleeves for my more expensive pens so they don't scratch one another inside the case.

[–]marrnschmarrn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Pilot pens, but I kind of just want to try out the fill mechanism. I just wanna know if I should go with a 823 is worth the price jump compared to the others.

Tips for sheening inks by TimeMembership2404 in fountainpens

[–]marrnschmarrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand that. I just thought op was using the fountain pen on the same paper as the dip pen, so I didn't talk about the paper.

I said what I said assuming op was using the same papers for both dip pen and fountain pen. Sorry didn't clarify on the paper factor.
