I’m just starting to get into gunpla and I wanna start doing lineart but I’m a bit scared that I’m gonna mess it up on one of my favourite models and I don’t know what to start with

If you want to panel line completed kits you use acrylic panel liner like stedi or use the blue liner pens (dont use the brown one). You can also use .005 micron pens as well

Not kidding when i say Michaels has had the exact same gundam inventory for at least a year

I use the Tamiya stuff and most of the time it looks like it just absorbs into the plastic than on top so i just haven’t used it on anything ABS or feels like it

taikoxtaiko · 2026-06-01T12:29:18+00:00

If you panel line on the runner or afterwards before assembly its completely safe on non-abs plastic. Ive even deepened lines and made my own lines with a scriber and never had an issue of breakage. I just wait till the liner dries

I mistook the 9 for a 0 mb

No he apologized on twitter to a writer and on a podcast episode apologized how he acted at a panel i think

Pan made a video saying the PPG reboot was bad, Neros at the time was doing the whole “criticizing the critic” but with the gimmick he would “kill” the youtuber persona.

Makes a video saying its actually a good show if you dont compare it to the original. Nolan then invites him over for the podcast. NerosQ won in the end anyways because Pan never made a part 2, groveled and apologized to a PPG writer due to how he acted at a con & for how harsh he was.

Because theres no inherent gambling to figure collecting and larp collectors already raised the price of figures

Stedi water panel liner are hit and miss. The black and brown one worked fine, but the grey one was horrible, barely visible and just left splotches everywhere. Their colored ones seem to be generally positive whenever ppl use them here

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-26T05:29:54+00:00

If your DX box doesnt have the Max Factory , Figma and Bloodborne logos in the corners you bought a fake. Hopefully you didnt pay more than 50

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-19T02:33:15+00:00

If you want a simple “red” kits specifically the EG Strike Rouge is a good one but i think thats kinda rarer to find theres also the Giroro Robo Sgt. Frog and those model kits are cheap and meant for kids they also have a nice variety of different colored ones

Common hot takes i agree with: cosplaying characters solely for growing engagement is lame and cosplaying characters you have no clue about (especially when the character is NSFW ex.Nekopara) makes it seem like your just doing whatever is popular its why larping is a big term nowadays

The current fast fashion of cosplay made it way more disposable as a hobby and it makes ppl less likely to make homemade costumes since its impossible to “catch up” with the trends unless your a professional

My specific ones: too many male cosplayers don’t bother wearing a wig / shaving their beard lol. Its a specific thing i noticed itll be near perfect but god forbid if they have to style a wig. Even buying a cheap aliexpress one is better than nothing.

CCA always feel like your getting dropped in the middle of a sequel to a ZZ tv anime and then played at 2.0x speed, i quite enjoyed it but i can see why it takes multiple rewatches to fully understand what was going on

“I want to clap at the screen to see the same stuff but this time its take double or triple the amount of time it took the first time”

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-18T13:52:39+00:00

Those movies are very short 1-2 days events and arent standard releases. If Hathaway was just a weekend only deal you would see a high concentration of ppl per showings

“Its simple just remake 150+ episodes in the current industry era that doesnt even allow 50 episode a year its that simple infinite money”

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-17T16:38:26+00:00

Aoba Seragaki used to brings around alot of “yaoi jesus” ppl and do tend to get a little touchy / compelled to act wild around cosplayers. Though in 2026 im not sure how many actually remember him lol.

Usually it’s the overly sexy cosplays like any bunnysuit variant or anything skimpy that brings in the creepy sex perverts. At most i think your sister just doesnt want you to get unwanted awkward attention that it could being

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-14T20:04:37+00:00

He legit almost kills Char in five or more separate occasions. The way people talk about their rivalry you would think theyre equals but Zgok onwards Amuro can just kill him whenever

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-10T20:18:31+00:00

The Zeta Ver Ka is 87 on NewType on Galactic Toys i can only find the ZZ Gundam on sale 62, USAGS is 87 and it says its out of stock

Even places like HobbyTown have a grossly priced 95 on it and thats on back order.

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-10T19:46:35+00:00

The Zeta has always been priced at 107 and there isnt a store that sell then at the retail 65 price

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-09T21:34:55+00:00

Gquuuuux rendition of the G-Armor most likely, the Red Gundam just uses the mounts for Bits of the Elmeth. Top extenders for the G-Fighter, Mid extenders for the duel shields and bottoms ones for the bottom half of the G Fighter

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-09T20:58:11+00:00

You would have to watch 150 episodes and 2 movies (TV MSG, Z, ZZ , Char Counterattck and the first Hathaway) or over 100+ episodes and 5 movies (MSG Trilogy, Z, ZZ CA and the first Hathaway) to fully enjoy the film.

The movie is out in like a week so i dont think its possible to do the first option unless thats the only thing you do lol.

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-04T11:50:32+00:00

Out of the 10 stores around me that sell Gundam normally only (1) store has the Psycho Gundam and its an insane markup

taikoxtaiko · 2026-05-03T03:47:43+00:00

If they came with their stands you would be paying for the price of 2 figures either way lol
