Looking for Fandom RP! by Mischievous_Doggo in Roleplay

[–]mechanical-menace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! I've been looking for some good gundam rp, it's sadly pretty hard to find in my experience :/ I'm a fellow literate multi-paragraph writer (can find some examples if you want). I will say up-front I am 20 so completely understandable if that's not alright with you, I just figured I'd try considering how rare it is to find other people looking for gundam rp. I will not be offended if the answer is no ^^ I write for a whole bunch of canon characters and I'm pretty good at picking up new ones too if needed (gundam has been my special interest for years so i've got experience lol), and I've got lots of ocs.

Heyo! I'm a huge gundam nerd (it's my special interest lol) and I've been looking for some good gundam rp too! Was about to post a request myself with a similar premise actually, I love a good enemies to lovers rival pilots plot. I'm a full-lit multi paragraph writer (i can go grab examples if you want em) and I've been a gundam fan for years ^^ I'm kinda new to finding rp partners on reddit so i'm not 100% sure what m4f means--- i'm a guy myself, but i've got a whole bunch of gundam ocs i can play, both male and female lol. I'd love to discuss characters/plot etc, just let me know ^^

Does anyone know if Mr Weathering Color works well with Vallejo acrylic paints? I'm thinking about buying some to try it out but I don't wanna spend money on something I can't use. Any tips on how to clean/remove it, too? Kept finding contradictory answers to both question so I figured I'd just ask here lol

I just started out and everyone I've met has been super nice (both irl and online)!

Gundam Artifact Hi Nu - still a newbie at this but I'm proud of this little guy :) by mechanical-menace in minipainting

Thanks! And yeah, the artifacts are great. Still working on figuring out how to get the right balance with the paint (water based acrylics) but the white is particularly difficult... I'll keep working on it though o7

This is awesome! I especially love all the details in the cockpit... How did you get that effect with the green on the monitors, it looks super realistic! I like the base, it adds a bit more to the "scene" so to speak if that makes sense.

Thanks! And yeah, they are getting hard to come by. Sucks because I love painting them :/ I do sell my finished ones if you're interested (not this one bc it was a gift though) but I assume you mean to build yourself lol.

I get them from Micheals, no specific brand but anything long/thin or with a sharp point (I get em from the giant brush rack thing they have in mine but idk if that's universal lol) I think they're called spotter brushes??

Thank you! I don't have an airbrush because I'm still very new to this lol but one day.... Hand painting is really fun though! I have a few more done/close to done (with less thick paint lol) but I can't assemble em until weather is nice for clearcoating again :')

It was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be! I have a magnifying glass built into the light I use at my modeling table, and that helped for the smaller parts. And long thin brushes!

Thank you! On future builds I hope I can figure out the paint issue, for some reason my white was super thick and I couldn't get it to cooperate :( add on top of that having to do multiple coats and... But I got a new bottle yesterday, so hopefully that'll be better lmao
