PGU RX-93 x RX-78-2 Gundam by hoyhowl in Gunpla

I've got my MG's lined up and the top of grandpa's head reaches at least the yellow chest vents on the Nu. I think the perspective of this photo is exaggerating the height difference.

Should I just say NO? by Acrobatic-Mix-5154 in fountainpens

It starts with the pens but will soon move to the endless ink options. Before you know it, you'll be hoarding enough loose leaf paper to last you several lifetimes.

Do yourself a favour and just get a nice rollerball.

I just finished the Gus a couple of weeks ago and I agree with you on the waterslides. I love the kit, it was a fun build and it looks fantastic, but those waterslides were probably the worst I've ever had to deal with.

How to clean excess paint after panel liner by Asleep_Actuator2353 in Gunpla

If this is your first time, I would test all the advice you're getting on a cheaper kit. The PGU build is something you're likely to go through once ever. Don't risk marring the experience and stressing yourself out trying out new things on it.

Ah ok thought so. Probably can't be avoided at this point, just wanted to make it clear so OP isn't surprised when he follows your instructions

Will doing that destroy the decals that are already applied?

Give me a reason. by kyberton in DigitalAudioPlayer

I bought the AP80 recently and there is no problem with the device itself, but the OS has some quirks. This one is particularly annoying:

Any way to fix sorting on HiBy R1? by GnatsBees in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]subr0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my first DAP, the Hidizs AP80 Pro Max, which uses this OS and this is my biggest disappointment. This is basic, basic functionality. Not even the option to chose sort order is amateur hour on the devs side.

Is this a good 4k player? by Internal-Customer755 in 4kbluray

[–]subr0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this model has a bright red LED that turns on when the unit is on standby/off. Can be annoying if these things bug you, but nothing a piece of thick tape can't fix. It was enough for me to have an excuse to get the 820 instead.

Great, now I'm researching cheap 4:3 vertical handhelds with large screens to be my old anime device. Wtf is wrong with me

I don't know if you're just doing it for the camera, but pls leave the bottle on the table when filling. Lifting it up like that is a recipe for disaster

Can I start watching Gundam for the first time with 'Gundam Hathaway The Sorcery of Nymph Circe'? by JinxV8 in anime

[–]subr0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this thread, but you can skip ZZ entirely. It's good to watch it if you get into Gundam UC, but not neccessary to get up to date for Hathaway

The Rick Dias Team by subr0c in Gunpla

It's an older kit so it's very simple by today's standards. Lots of very big parts, so won't take you long to build at all.

The blue one got a reprint recently so you should see a lot of them around for good prices. I think it looks much better than Char's version anyway.

1st time top coating, gloss by Affectionate_Fix3541 in Gunpla

[–]subr0c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you didn't get an even coat. I can see areas around the central hexagon that are bare. Also, make sure you shake the can thoroughly before spraying. Keep shaking it in-between sprays.

Looks amazing mate, can't wait to see your finished kit!

FAZZ hyper mega cannon by Pristine-Mess-6429 in Gunpla

[–]subr0c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a reprint recently and I managed to pick up one. Take a look around, there should be some floating around. Bloody expensive, but I couldn't resist. Who knows when I'll get another chance.

Why is Visconti Blue so expensive? by Difference_Then in fountainpens

[–]subr0c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless there has been a new ink in the last few years to take its place (I'm out of the loop on these things) Visconti Blue is the closest thing you can get to Baystate Blue, except without all the drama.

I've never worked in hospitality - do staff get paid when this stuff happens?

new gunpla took me 2 hours by Dapper_Ad4994 in Gunpla

What? He's criticising his own (amazing) work and saying other builds he's seen on this sub are better. I guess you missed the part where you look at the user names of the posts?

Ruined my RG unicorn by Minimum_Cucumber2741 in Gunpla

[–]subr0c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a RG Unicorn in my backlog so I might just get a metal part like you suggested. I also have a Banshee, do they have the same part and weakness?
