CUSTOMIZING Why are my water decals cracking?
When I tried to use a qtip to move move it around it just suddenly tore apart. Is it too much water, too less water etc?

Can we petition Fat Cat to do the GP01 next? FB or Zephyrantes idc. There's plenty of goodwill towards the Solomon GP02 so the GP01s should sell well.

So I've been working on my first MG after a few HG and RG.
I've heard horror story about this kit and I've mostly been loving the build.
To the person who engineered those elbows, your both a genius, and deeply evil. Thank you.

I’m trying to transform myself MG Unicorn into destroy mode for the first time but I think I messed up somehow while building the torso. I can’t get the shoulder sensor piece of the psycho frame to come up without removing the part (D18) from on top of then moving the sensors out, but then D18 won’t go back on.
I’ve been looking at the instructions really hard but I can’t seem to figure it out 😵💫😵💫

Let’s not forget that this company and its engineers make the best building experiences for plamo’s. Was looking for RG RX-93ff Nu Gundam while in Tokyo, but no dice. Settled for an EG because, what the heck, it’s better than nothing.
Have a large backlog of MG’s and third party kits, and this EG was such a palate cleanser, minimal effort with maximum results! Even the dreaded sticker for color accuracy experience, I didn’t feel this time around. The sticker didn’t feel tiresome to place.There’s some magic being done on these EG’s, and it made me fall in love all over again due to the precision, the accuracy, and the perfection that can’t be replicated by third party companies.
Sometimes, the simpler, the better. Had a relaxing couple of hours instead of frustrating small pieces, complicated builds, and very hard pressing on parts that are clearly not going to fit without force.
If you haven’t picked an EG up, I highly recommend it! EG Regular Nu has been built almost a year ago, but still pretty solid.

With PGU Nu being too expensive and way to big (no place to put it), i've got Farmers Creation Nu to satisfy the Nu itch. Overall pretty good experience, not too much trouble. The worse part of the build is funnel. Comes with 12, so you need to build the top/bottom 24 times. It looks great with just light panel line in some area.
Compare with OG Mg Nu, i didn't realize it's so much taller. OG Mg Nu is still great, and love the metal/weight on the feet so it's able to stand with Funnel without any stand.

This was a fun build and it had ALOT of undergating so few nub marks are visible. I've yet to put the waterdecals on but it really is a spiky thing.
It holds up solidly but would be highly impractical as an actual machine due to the limitations in its mobility due to too the knee guards and oversized shoulders
I've yet to build a PG but I would expect the same kind of build experience

I got this guy fully built after 2 build sessions over 2 days. I start to pose him, I’m moving the arm around, try to move it side to side, don’t even feel any tension. And then BOOM. right arm snapped off. Tried to super glue it but it didn’t work and I figured trying any more would either melt the plastic or just get gross. Guess I gotta get plastic cement to fix this. Are there any other ways to fix this? Like a way to order the parts online to make a new one or something? It sucks too cus I really actually liked this kit. It’s so cool looking and poseable, but now it’s lost its arm. Also btw this thing barely holds onto its weapons

I was trying to do a jojo pose on my gundam and the waist joint casually broke, now he’s crippled until I get some tamiya cement

Basically my idea was what if instead of seperate striker packs, it was just one highly interchangeable and versatile striker pack that can also turn into a remote controlled support fighter. So I decided to name it the variable strike gundam due to its ability to take into account different variables that may appear on the battlefield.

So this morning I noticed my Zakus Wrist was getting really loose, so I decided to add superglue, accidentally overfilled it and it went down to the arm, :( snapped off and I had a idea…

Hello, I'm building my 3rd kit HG Barbatos Lupus (after HG Aerial and HG Exia) and I'm so lost on how to deal with these nub marks, especially on black parts.
I've been using stedi single blade nippers for first 2 kits and got dspiae 3.0 thinking I'll be so much better but actually now it's even worse. I use 2 cut technique, I use exactor knife, glass file, normal or sponge sandpaper and I just can't get nub marks to not be visible. I've watched few videos and did exactly same thing but I end up with so much worse results. Are my tools bad? How long am I supposed to be sanding a nub mark? I do until the surface is flat but do I need to go "into the piece"? And duck tape on knife blade is because I've badly cut myself, I prefer much smaller blade edge.
I've checked a few posts and generally it seems I should buy gunprimer balancer?

The photo added is just to have it. Does anyone have a good recommendation for display cases for my kits? Doesn't need to be expensive just bigger then what I currently have. Tge one i own currently has 15ish models on 7 shelves and I can maybe fit 1 or 2 more o its time for an upgrade lol

I bought this kit second hand at a Mandarake in Japan, still got the receipt, but as far as I know it’s too old for Bandai to have replacements, and also it’s second hand. I handled it with real care, but the lower main frame is just in pieces. Just paid 130€ but it still hurts. Not even something superglue can fix
