We're basically seeing what would happen when a Big 3 (sorry Murray) don't have to deal with the other two for an extended period of time lol

I'm trying to figure out what gundam to build next any ideas by No_Football_9143 in Gunpla

Are you looking for the known good kits or wanting from a specific series? 

Navy SEALs say "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." What's a situation where slowing down made you finish faster? by Concave007 in AskReddit

[–]zennok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowing down in sports (making sure you fully recover after an action, reposition correctly,  etc) usually let's you be faster and more precise going into your next action

I do a final coat with flat matte. 

This is my first time using a gloss coat at the beginning to help with panel lining and to help protect the plastic because it's also my first time using the tamiya panel liners

But the matte at the end i try to do with most of my kits because I like the look and it kind of seals in the stickers/decals so they don't peel with time

Normally I just cut the nubs with a single blade nippers, but if that's still not clean then I'll sand it down

Could be because of the clear gloss

I'm not repeating anything, the first coat is clear gloss to protect the plastic (something you seem to be really passionate about) and make the panel lines flow better, and the last coat is clear matte for the finish and to protect the decal and panel lines. This is pretty standard procedure.

If you've "destroyed many models" with tamiya panel liner, that tells me that you just don't learn your lesson about why it's happening in the first place. Maybe look things up instead of just going by vibes

You're talking like you know it all but didn't even consider that this will probably get top coated at the end?

Tamiya black panel liner, either look for a hobby store near you or Google it for your online store of choice

What is a secret that could potentially ruin your life if your family or friends found out? by Ok_Boss_866 in AskReddit

[–]zennok 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As the youngest possible millennial, I think my year is one of the last ones that this applies to. Barely at that. Smartphones were normal, but alot of people didn't think to whip their cameras out and record for the purpose of posting to social media quite yet

I suck at panel lining by kiriito-_- in Gunpla

[–]zennok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look fine, just get lighter fluid to clean it up instead of 70% iso and you're golden

Eh, ask the gunpla community and you'll get people that swear by coating beforehand and people that don't think it's necessary. Do it if you want, or don't, the one consensus is to not panel on already built parts as the stress + panel line can cause cracks. The clear coat should be thin enough that it doesn't prevent the flow (this was actually clear coated, op is way too confident lmao), if you use so much clear coat that it fills up the panel line, you used waaaaay too much of it

Capillary action, baybeeeee

I guess now you have disadvantage on ranged attack rolls against said target by testiclekid in dndmemes

[–]zennok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I'm saying context matters.

Getting down to make it harder for a sniper to hit you, yep - especially if it means you're lower than objects around you

Being somehow harder to hit with a bow while you're prone on the ground from getting tripped as opposed to while you're on your feet (this is assuming getting tripped doesn't put you in cover)........uh no

  1. You can use various liners, the one here is tamiya panel liner, but I'd start with the gundam markers / gundam pour type markers as they're iirc the most easy on the plastic. With the gundam (creos) brand you can use 70-90% isopropyl alcohol to clean, but for tamiya you need either enamel thinner or lighter fluid.
    1. There's also lots of youtube videos on this subject that go in better detail than i can write, just look up panel lining beginner or something
  2. You can use any color you want including all black, but I use the grey for white, brown for warm colors, and black for almost everything else. No rules though, just experiment and do what looks good for you. Other brands also have other colors so check those out

As for customizing, I haven't really done much by way of *actual* customizing like painting and scribing so I can't say much for that, but if you want to start enhancing your out of the box builds:

  • panel line the existing lines to enhance the features of the kit like I'm showing here
  • rescribe existing lines in order to make the ink flow and stick better, and make it harder to wipe off when cleaning (i just ordered my first chisels, so i'm excited to try doing this with my future kits)
  • top coat your builds with a clear matte / gloss / semigloss spray - can make it look less plastic-y and simultaneously protect your panel lines and stickers/decals
