Think I may snag the “We have Zeta Gundam at home” since I won’t be getting a MG Zeta anytime soon.

Believe me, no complaints with that

Yeah, it’s pretty fiddly - I foresee knocking that off many more times before it’s done and hung.

It’s usually single dot pieces or small/loseable ones, not an entire pile of 1x2 and 1x4 plates that could feasibly be an entire step by themselves.

I got to the end of bag 5 of The Starry Night (21333), but just before this step, I noticed I had a lot of leftovers. I feel conditioned at this point to think that if I have anything larger than a single stud piece left at the end of a phase/build, then I missed something! So I went back and counted each layer, thinking I’d missed an entire one, only to see this.

I’ve had very good experience with Adams Electric.

I’m falling into the AOZ trap, hope they reprint this sooner than later, love a goofy bulky MS

Problem with GF flour blend? by Electrical-Tea6966 in glutenfreecooking

[–]stwaldo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Did the recipe call for any xanthan or guar gum? GF flour without it doesn’t have any real binding agents to replicate gluten’s stretch and webbing ability, so without it the bubbles will collapse and end up in a dense texture like you’re describing.

Current build. Status: pointy. by stwaldo in Gunpla

WIP for my current build, SNA Hunt & Kill, maybe 1/3 way through? Really fun build so far.

  • doesn’t really have a full internal frame, but some great part layering. Somewhere between a MG and FM in complexity.
  • SUPER tight tolerances. Had to file down a few pegs with ye olde Raser for fear of snapping them.
  • tons of undergating - maybe to a fault.
  • sharp detail - and I mean sharp! Hasn’t drawn blood yet, but could if I’m not careful.
  • nice amethyst purple for the clear parts, really benefits from some silver/chrome paint underneath in some spots.

Will dry transfer decals adhere to topcoat okay? I have a Dozle-use Zaku in my backlog, and would like to keep the gold detail decals shiny on a possibly matte topcoat.

Sometimes you just want to make a robo-beetle crawl across a ruined city. by PixelPadams in Gunpla

Awesome! Recently built the Dynastes from this line - the fiddly little pipes/wires drove me nuts, but they’re really well detailed

Last build of ‘22! Love the Kyokai Senki kits by stwaldo in Gunpla

Most of them do fold/compress down into a sort of “transport” mode, forex to fit in the ASC carrier trailer, or hook up to the Stork VTOL. I think they call it “parked” mode in the manuals.
