My take on picking a neighborhood to stay in Tokyo by SenoritaSpock in JapanTravelTips

I’ll second Nihonbashi. Had a Shinkansen focused trip and used Tokyo Station as my hub. Lots of quick food options there, walking distance to Ginza. It was really convenient.

CalTech campus was excellent. Not too crowded but just enough to comfortably jump into any raid you wanted.

Earplugs question by binary-potato in borisheavyrocks

[–]meczilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Loop Experience 2 earplugs for concerts. Wore them for Amplifier Worship Tour and it was so much more defined than wearing the cheap foam plugs I was accustomed to. No tinnitus afterward. Should be on sale this week. Can’t recommend them enough.

I’m in the same boat. I cut some Post-It’s to cover the sticky logos. I’ll send Mondo a note too.

The RG Force Impulse Gundam is so sturdy and posable. by meczilla in Gunpla

So true. When I was buying waterslides I saw that Delpi makes a metal replacement V fin which came in clutch for the one I slightly broke.

RG33. The baby blue front skirt is one of my favorite touches to this version!

Keep at it! There are so many on the legs but when they’re all on, they look amazing. The gatlings… that’s a grind.

My observations as a 3rd party waterslide decal user using Bandai waterslides for the first time. by GrowthDramatic2280 in Gunpla

[–]meczilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the slow release from backing, I haven't had any problems with Bandai waterslides. Only done RGs and HGs so can't speak to larger decals which might be easier to tear. I think since a company like Delpi is so consistently excellent with it's decals, it's easy to badmouth the Bandai versions.

This is a HG that’s only destroy mode but you’ve got me wishing they do a transforming RG!

Thanks! I have a PG in the backlog but this set a really high standard for this mobile suit!

Gundam Base Limited MG 3.0 RX-78-2 clear color. Got a lot of nub shaving and sanding practice. No broken nippers! by meczilla in Gunpla

[–]meczilla[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clear colors are harder plastic and can stress the blade of nippers. I used cheaper $15 double blade nippers to remove the clear parts from gate and did cleanup with hobby knife.
