agreed. As an alternative, I have had great luck with Kelik 3D decals. They are a Ukrainian company.

i have a guy named Bob that I work with, who loves to buy stuff with his name on it. Now that i know about it, I had to order him a Bob card to go into his collection.

Master Grade RX-78-2 3.0

Not the most enjoyable build, and doesn't fit in my photo spinner! But the end result does look great and I'll enjoy putting it on my shelf.

Trying something new for finished builds to show them off.

Man, Bandai definitely makes some good waterslide decals. Go on well, thin carrier, look great. Also respond pretty quick and aggressively to micro-sol.

There’s also a LOT of them on the MG 3.0

that’s too cool.

reminds me of that one guy who bought up cases and cases of Lamenters Yellow from GW when it got discontinued

lot of good suggestions folks, really appreciate it! That transparent primer might be just the ticket for doing gundams. going to give that one a try.

@bsky.app
so, whatever updates you’re doing today, can you kinda fix them? Getting errors and non functional stuff all through the app today.

absolutely stunning.

yeah. I had the same issues with fit in the same places

Could use a recommendation from my gundam / scale model / warhammer folks.

Looking for a new matte clear, the flattest of the flat finish. airbrush or spray cans are fine. Prefer acrylic if it’s for airbrush. Anybody other than MMP or AK.

ebay is apparently the opposite. plenty of people selling just the mini’s and keeping the cards. might be able to catch a deal.

good luck internet stranger!

haven’t painted them yet, but have a couple sets. Was probably going to sell them as the cards don’t interest me. Waiting on the tabletop game sets.

They do look great though. More akin to Battletech than 40k, there’s no assembly work to do other than attach to the base.

and i think there’s been three movies and/or mini-series so far based on it.

these pop up ads on my browser took a dark turn. Now they’re trying to sell me literal human blood, at $12,600 per pint. What. The. Fuck.

initial build done on the MG 3.0

kinda wish i did the 2.0 instead. Looks great but stupidly fiddly.

wait……. what? where was THAT?

Derpy Cat!

not an Anime, but in “My Adventures with Superman” they had a scene where they used what was a clear reference to an RX-78 shield.

a bit of flux, some clean solder, should go fairly easily. Hard to tell what that connector is, is it one of those you just push the wire into and it grabs on? If that’s the case i’d just tin the wire and re-insert.

and usually no logos or artwork either. plain and generic would be period correct.

I regret not picking up this metallic finish Epyon. Photos don’t do it justice. The Magenta chrome finish is just stunning.

I don’t even really like clear kits that much. but yet here we are

Somehow ended up at Gundam Base Chicago yesterday.

they really need a “i sympathize but liking this post isn’t what i want to say” button.

Tonight was a good night.

the special box art you were looking for was only in the first printing of the clear RG kit. i did get one of them, but it’s more like a bland P-Bandai box.

@sayladarkmode.bsky.social
tried to buy one, they were sold out. Completely unexpected that i was going to get here today.
