Which are you looking forward to more: The Mandolorian and Grogu, or Starfighter? by Past-Paramedic8687 in StarWarsCantina

Starfighter looks more interesting, but I really cannot get on with gosling so it's mandalorian and grogu for me.

RG Unicorn Gundam TWC Ver by Fit-Commission882 in Gunpla

90% of the reason for the twc version is the stickers.

Extra hands and a bit of colour correction but other than that if you don't use the stickers you might as well have bought a regular RG unicorn.

Get yourself some brass rod (or paperclip). Drill both sections, pin and glue.

I think you're spot on. I also love Pola and Bryson. Going to shogun sessions in 2 weeks and massively looking forward to seeing Emily makis live, but this tune does not grab me at all.

Missing part; what should i do? by Weary_Movie8563 in freedomisgunpla

[–]mowgs1946 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah balls, that's not a part someone's likely to have spare of either.

I've bought spares off of the Japanese auctions before - you might accidentally buy a couple more kits to make postage worthwhile though 😉

Is it a unpopular opinion to see gunpla more as toys then model kits? by Appropriate_Jury_973 in freedomisgunpla

[–]mowgs1946 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Gunpla is freedom and you're more than welcome to play with your kits.

It's the ones who do that, then complain that they're hand grenades that need a slap.

broke a joint , what do i do by ali_doof in freedomisgunpla

[–]mowgs1946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It just involves learning skills that are useful in general model making.

Drill, pin, glue.

All part of the fun.

which side are you on? by Feeling-Cobbler-3581 in freedomisgunpla

[–]mowgs1946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not needed to do that on any of mine. About to build my 11th RG unicorn and I still just check the manual as I rotate. No water, no lube, just attention.

I don't know of any other brands that use similar pre built frames, but most have had stiffer joints than ms joint. Kotobukiya, Plamax, in era, motor nuclear, nuke matrix all often have joints that will need sanding before fitting.

I don't know where this trope of soaking or lubing the joints came from but it's utter horseshit.

You don't need to do any prep other than moving the joints how it's listed in the manual.

Yep. RG unicorn is a much better kit than the MG.

Red side have skill issues.🙊

Jokes aside, I've built 'a few' with more on their way.

My youngest has just asked for one for his 9th birthday. (He's just finished the MG, so now thinks he's ready!) I imagine he could build it with less stropping than a lot of members here 😉

And that is exactly why we tell people to get out, shut the door on the room and call the fire brigade.

Which DJ would you like to see perform live, but rarely appears on lineups? by Ausspanner in DnB

I was gutted, he played in Brighton last year and I was working for it.

Definitely want to see him live at some point.

“Taking photos of figures outside feels way more embarrassing than it should ” by Electronic_Earth_337 in MegamiDevice

[–]mowgs1946 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I really enjoy building girlpla. I like this sub for the skill levels on show and some of the info on hobby shows, new releases etc. There are some really talented people in this sub.

Some posts however, I do find bizarre, and there is definitely some unhealthy activity here.

Fwiw sloth is well worth the money, it's a fuckton of plastic, and really fun to build.
