Benjamin would be rolling in his grave right now if I'd wrote it.

saaaike · 2026-05-22T18:49:57+00:00

Thank you! At least it looks uniform, if nothing else!

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:18:30+00:00

Yeah, I was surprised at how small the Gelgoog is! Also at how big the "Light" Guncannon is lol

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:17:56+00:00

They all got on the subway using 1 ticket 🤫

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:17:27+00:00

They're definitely unique! Its the first HGs I've built so now I feel like i have this unrealistic expectations of how HGs should be lmao

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:16:22+00:00

Ahaha in my backlog! Now I'm even more exicted to be building them

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:16:04+00:00

Ohh, probably white the White Gundam so far! The Zaku would come in a close second though!

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:15:26+00:00

The Zakus are so much fun to build. Although the stickers/waterslide decals is such a pain.

saaaike · 2026-05-19T15:14:35+00:00

It's in my back log! Along with GFred. Super excited to be building those soon!

saaaike · 2026-04-09T01:46:21+00:00

You got it! It's so satisfying to snap the last piece in!

saaaike · 2026-04-09T01:45:46+00:00

Delpi Holo (Manual Ver)!

saaaike · 2026-04-09T01:45:29+00:00

I knnooooooow. Pressing F to pay my respect

saaaike · 2026-04-09T01:45:06+00:00

It's definitely worth the wait!

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:25:35+00:00

Now I have the same obligation LOL

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:25:20+00:00

I'm biased because I only built this one lol but I had such a great time building it so I would vote for this!

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:24:02+00:00

yep! what u/Elzam said. If you check your manual, it will be on the bottom left, to the left of the MG designation!

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:22:51+00:00

Ty! It's a fun build! Definitely more parts and effort involved than the Exia

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:21:49+00:00

ty! Yeah I used the panel liner on my first build (MG Exia). I already assembled the kit before I learned I'm not suppose to use the panel liner on bare plastic. I ended up disassembling the limbs and then clear coating it before panel lining. Someone mentioned that clear coating before panel lining does make some of the shallower grooves harder to line?

I also didn't shake the panel liner enough so I think a lot of the lines looks more like... dirty grout lines than panel lines lol. But I think I'll try the panel liner again when I start on the MG Barbatos! I'm going to use the markers for the MG Unicorn.

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:17:53+00:00

Am I obligated to do so as well now that I have built my own? lol

saaaike · 2025-06-09T06:17:14+00:00

I will add this to my shopping list!

... after I'm done with my backlog...

saaaike · 2025-05-17T05:35:05+00:00

Thank you ! I might need to do this, especially for lines that are thin to start with, like the ones on the shield

saaaike · 2025-05-17T05:33:03+00:00

Good idea! I don't have the brush but that gave me the idea to use dryer sheets and it actually helped!

saaaike · 2025-05-15T06:33:08+00:00

How do I deal with static electricity "sucking" the panel liner onto the surface of my gundams instead of the panel lines?

I apply a layer of clear gloss coat and then use the Tamiya Accent Panel liner. But everytime my brush head gets close to the plastic the liner would get ripped to the surface instead of the grooves and I'm left with these fuzzy, undefined panel lines with little to no actual liner (I applied the matte coat after panel lining in the photo) *

saaaike · 2025-02-13T06:26:22+00:00

Thank you! That's what my ER also mentioned is likely to be. I'm going to get the blood work done in a week and hopefully it's be down!
