    Ever wanted to build a frame inside of a rubber sock?

    I built this! It was difficult! The ribs and other bone pieces largely do not stay where they should!

    I'm sure it will be better when they do the real grade version, with a pre-built inner frame that you can just slide in.

    Well this took several godamn months, between me messing up, ordering new paint, and the weather not playing nice. It's far from perfect and I keep fixating on the little imperfections.

    But it's done finally, and I'm happy with it.

    I'll be buying my primer and painting skewers today. Finally I can get properly started!

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    I didnt even mask mine

    It shows in some places

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    I need to buy something to seal it

    I didnt have primer (still too cold to spraypaint) so everything on it just rubs right off if I fuck with it too much

    A trick to painting white from a mini painter is to build it up in intermediate steps. So go from black to medium grey to a very light grey to white, and do so in very thin coats.

    I can paint up an example for you this weekend if you want.

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    I dont plan to use white again any time soon but thanks!

    So it's not model kit news but, in the realm of actual Mecha that actually exist, we got a Date for the Megabots/Suidobashi duel for MkIII vs Kuratas:

    So I just finished Iron Blooded Orphans.

    I don't wanna get the thread in trouble so I wont go on at length. Basically, I thought season 1 was rather good, and season 2 wasn't that great but had some real good robit designs and fights.

    So basically a less severe version of my opinions on the two Build Fighters seasons.

    Guess I ought to hope they never make a Unicorn season 2 :razz:

    Next season? I thought IBO was done. We might get more kits from the manga but I think we'll see a different asthetic for whatever gundam gets made next.

    They've already confirmed they're doing a new UC thing. With that Alex gundam or whatever.

    I like IBO's look a lot too but it's getting pretty saturated. We're gonna have 40 HGs out of it when it's all said and done I think, plus all those 1/100 kits.

    I think Twilight Axis is just a movie, not a series.

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    Well at least the second season of Thunderbolt is airing now so that should mean more sick space gunpla kits.

    I keep seeing it referenced as an ONA so it might be the same format/release schedule as something like Thunderbolt.

    I kind of want to get the Juaggu.

    Both because it looks kind of silly (what's the trunk for?)
    And because the pose they have it in for the main picture on Amazon is friggin adorable (for a giant killer robot designed to be a mobile artillery piece).
    Imma blow you up now.
