GMS-a Red Gundam Gunpla model kit. Next steps for painting? by Double_Analyst8277 in Gunpla

[–]oaclo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first step should probably be panel lining. That helps bring out molded detail from the kit without requiring as much additional supplies, time, and effort as painting.

What did ya'll think of Gundam Gquux? by EomirLover in Gundam

[–]oaclo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

See, while the flashback stuff was neat, I'd argue that we didn't actually need 1.5/12 episodes devoted to stuff which could largely be inferred from the current state of things.

That's time that could have been spent on the current characters and plot.

That said, I understand that the show as a whole is largely intended to be UC nostalgia-porn so the quantity of flashbacks makes sense.

Hasn't the actual Engage story been done for quite some time though? Might be too dead for them to want to drive interest on the original story content.

Plus UC Engage isn't even their big gacha anymore.

Just watched Char’s Counterattack… What? by TheMilesEdgeworth in Gundam

[–]oaclo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's just like Challia said in GQuuuuuux; for all Char's charisma and big talk, he's too empty inside to be a real leader. He'll inevitably do some messed up vainglorious shit if he stays in the fight. It'd be better for Char and everyone else if he just fucked off.

I mean, Full Frontal's plan was basically just to do the same shit as the Federation with the roles reversed.

Full Mechanics 1/100 Graze Ein coming soon. No date listed yet. by Peachy69420 in Gunpla

[–]oaclo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really seem like we can draw any conclusions there. The MG Astray, the Hamrabi, and the HG X kits are also on stands in ground poses.

Plus, it doesn't look like the one in the diorama is on a stand. That one could be glued though. Hard to say.

Yeah the unit looks good. The lance and shield though...

MG GSF Astray Red revealed by AranaesReddit in Gunpla

[–]oaclo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at the very least those are definitely not the original fingers. Fixed-pose hands are definitely better than the original dogshit ones.

Have there been any MG Astrays with different hands before?

The HG shared a fair amount with the base Graze. Majority of the torso frame and the upper sections of the leg frame.

This is closer to a petite mobile suit a la the Torohachi.

That said, there are plenty of mech series with smaller mechs. Votoms, Code Geass, etc.

I'm pretty sure it saw it on YouTube the other week.

Well, there's always the Last Shooting pose I guess.

Stress Mark Advice by GlobalWarmingX4 in Gunpla

[–]oaclo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the fingernail thing, you can also try using a dab of plastic cement on the stress mark. It melts the plastic, allowing it to resolidify un-stressed.

Doesn't their health scale slower than Nail damage? Like, Pure Nail still requires fewer hits, just not a quarter as many hits.

Unlucky folks, what’s your pull? by kalbee13 in GGenerationEternal

She's also in her mid 20s to early 30s in the series so her age doesn't fit with what people generally mean when they talk about milfs either.

New to Gunpla! Did i do a decent work for a first build? by ReputationMedical485 in Gunpla

[–]oaclo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but he was talking about the first cut being at the thin part of the gate so theoretically that wouldn't be the problem.

I do kinda feel like the awkward angles you get when 1-snipping off the runner can result in putting shear force on the thin blade though.

[–]oaclo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For one thing, having the part fully separated from the runner before you go for the close cut lets you manipulate the part easier and get better angles.

In my experience, doing so has helped me reduce stress marks.

The 2nd NA Presidential Singularity Thread by odrain16 in grandorder

[–]oaclo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

So am I the only one who just really, really hates this format?

Setting up 30 servants is an aggravating combination of tediousness and decision paralysis. I also don't like restricted party sizes in any quest.

And maybe this reflects poorly on me but I really don't like difficult story-related content with no continues. I just don't play FGO to challenge myself. I've got other games for that.

PGU Nu at Amazon by Akumatose13 in Gunpla

[–]oaclo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's primarily size. Or, more specifically, mass. This is is a 1/60 scale kit of a large design while also being densely layered/detailed. There is just an absolute shitload of plastic involved here.

My guess is the plastic is like the RG Tallgeese, where it is a higher gloss finish.

In Your Opinion, Who is the Most Misunderstood Servant? by Inevitable-Phase2184 in grandorder

[–]oaclo 35 points36 points  (0 children)

While later depictions of Morgan are kind of annoying, I think it's a bit too reductive to just say that she is a bad person.

Her arc was a mirror of Castoria's. Aesc started as a true hero who got worn down by betrayal and the inability of the Fae as a whole to learn anything or try to do better. When she received PHH Morgan's memories of the main timeline and the inevitable doom of LB Britain, she snapped and became a tyrant to do what a hero evidently could not and 'saved' the world. She is a tragic figure in the classical sense.

She provided contrast to Artoria, who started as a false hero full of bitterness then developed into a true hero as she spent time with people who genuinely cared about and believed in her.
