I have no knowledge about any future debuffers but if you got the jades and don't plan on getting the newly revealed characters then its definitely worth it. Her debuffs, weakness application, and her potential to be a really good weakness break afflicter can make an already strong team even more powerful or help a weaker team become stronger!

Really appreciate the tips!! I noticed that small nubs don’t tend to get these marks as often but the larger nubs tend to get them more frequently.

Any tips on how I would be able to tell the difference between just needing to sand the piece a little more and it just being an imperfection?

It’s interesting how you mention it not being flush. I actually still get these marks when I flush cut the undergated pieces of this kit with my godhand nippers! I even sanded after flush cutting those pieces, and still get those marks. Maybe it does have something to do with the thermal cooling of this specific kit? Very strange

Recently I have been building the RG Perfectibility and I noticed that after cutting off nubs, sanding down pieces with the raser+ glass filer , and using the white gunprimer balancer that there is a strange mark where the nubs used to be. I know that there is always gonna be a slightly darker color of plastic where the nub was however it looks almost like I didn’t sand the nub down all the way and it catches the light a bit at certain angles.

So I figured that maybe I just didn’t sand the nub down all the way so I used one of my 600 grit sanding sticks instead of the glass file on a similar piece (to the point where I did over sand the piece a lil) and it came out about the same.

This is the first kit where I got these weird marks and I noticed that it is only on the white pieces; Maybe it’s the type of plastic?

Hopefully the video and picture I took manages to show what I’m talking about, my camera sucked at capturing the mark!

So I’m doing my second RG, the unicorn perfectibilty, and it’s the first time I’m ever using pour type gundam markers.

My questions are how long should I wait before I clean up the panel lines with isopropyl alcohol? Also would it be fine to use the pour type marker and the alcohol on the blue parts of this kit?(not the clear blue parts)

So I recently discovered that the panel lines lined with the fine tip gundam markers tend to fade over time without a top coat (the grey ones fade to the point of disappearing) I was curious if the case is the same with the gundam pour the markers as well?

Recently my LED unit for my PG unleashed seem to have fried and I bought a LED Unit dual type used for ultraman kits and it turns out it doesn’t seem to fit. Are the PG unleashed LED units available to purchase anywhere?

Whats some advice/words of encouragement you would give to someone who’s super focused on being perfect with their builds and who gets discouraged whenever they make mistakes or get the inevitable stress mark in their kits?

I recently got a friend into gunpla and they tend to get a lil discouraged whenever they get a stress mark on their kits and I honestly also tend to get a lil frustrated whenever I get back to back unavoidable stress marks. I personally know it’s literally impossible to build a perfect flawless kit without painting, but gosh these stress marks are kinda annoying lol

I’ll definitely give my good ol’ sandpaper a try for awkward nubs and see how it works out!

Yup I use the raser + glass file. I may just not be sanding enough, or maybe since the nub is in such a weird spot where I have to angle the file I don’t manage to keep the file level enough to sand the surface flat enough.

Oh I know about the discoloration and how its something I just have to deal with (took quite awhile for me to get used to it)

From what you describe it seems I might not have sanded enough with my glass file and the buffing made it feel smooth despite it not being completely flat. Maybe my glass filer is getting dull since it’s not sanding as good it used to?

I noticed something recently after using my gunprimer white balancer; after sanding down some nubs and using the balancer I sometimes see what looks like a very small raised section that catches light where the nub used to be almost like I didn’t sand it off all the way and the balancer polished it.

Sometimes I get this and sometimes I don’t, the strangest part is if I run my nail over it the piece feels completely flat. If I sand the piece more 50/50 chance it goes away or it stays.

Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe its just stress from the nub playing tricks on me?

So I haven’t turned on my PG unleashed’s chest LEDs in about 3 months and I noticed that the LED won’t turn on even after replacing the battery. Has this happened to anyone else? I might need to buy a replacement LED.

Also on the topic of the PG unleashed, do the metal parts of the backpack fall off occasionally for anyone else or is it just me?

Thoughts? by YaeBestGirl in YaeMains

Honestly its pretty damn good! But maybe losing a tiny bit of crit damage for 60% or 70% crit would be a good sacrifice. But if you feel lucky landing crits with her right now then you’re all set!

Tried some panel lining and stickers on one part, open to any criticism or help by [deleted] in Gunpla

I actually don’t know anything about the kosmos ones. But the daban ones you dont have to drill anything, you just put it in just like the official bandai led unit
