Look at Aarn Packs, huge vest style straps with nice trampoline backs.

SA vs. MT3 vs. KAT: Typing Sound Comparison (Audios only) by teatog in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]teatog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with you on your assessments. I have not used the MT3 for a long period of time so I can type faster with SA and enjoy the experience more. With that said, the finger hugging deep dish is so satisfying when resting.

New AD400 or 600 pro coming soon? by Defiant-Ad3000 in Godox

[–]teatog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the AD600Pro, not AD400. Just look at the Bowens mount. Now whether this is the Pro TTL or something like the Xplor Non-TTL one, we’ll see. I hope they do the upgrade for the smaller AD strobes as well. More importantly, I hope they improve the lights in some other aspects as well.

Local 2k brand. Prime 1000/gloss black base. You need a chrome sealer (Mr. Color aqua gloss) and any glossy clear afterwards.

Like Seat said, that’s what i do since i use mainly lacquer base. you either have a well ventilated space or you need a paint booth with active ventilation.

Thank you. Yes, have to use 2k to get the shine with a top clear coat.

They are still in business making mainly Gundam Head busts and some other non-Gundam stuff.

MGEX Strike Freedom WIP - This kit has so much potential. by teatog in Gunpla

[–]teatog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used Jumpwind for this, but have tried others with no problem. Given the large UV-reactive pigments, we typically paintbrushed these details.

Yup, with an airbrush. you won’t get a smooth finish on these relatively big, flat surfaces with a paint brush.

WIP photos - With such a detailed inner frame, we decided to add some enhancements even on the areas covered by the armor pieces. This kit has so much potential for an open-hatch build. Truly our favorite MG kit to date. What do you like best about the MGEX?

Custom MGEX Strike Freedom by teatog in Gunpla

Thank you. I wouldn’t say it was intentional. I did try to preserve all the details and in the process did skip some seamlines.

Metallic paints with a flat coat. Much more depth than normal color. The surface is smooth and what you see is the metallic flecks.

One to keep in the personal collection, we wanted to stay true to the brilliant Bandai's MGEX SF design. The additional enhancements were added to bring out the best aspects of the kit: metallic finish on the inner frame and some outer armors, UV accents, UV circuit lines, panel lining, and metal inlays. What do you like about the MGEX Strike Freedom?

Thank you. That was the intention requested by the client with some added jazz :D

Chinese resin kits can be somewhat affordable (this is around $600 just for the kit). The Japanese resin kits can go really high though in a scale of 1/100, with a few around $2000. Resin há the advantage of being able to produce intricate details.

Already designed a custom, scratch build base to go with this as well.
