Yea the nub marks were due to rushing and I will go back to clean up.
The big complaint I have heard is that the joints loosen over time, so a few months after a build they kind of fall apart. But I dont own any personally so I cant really say if this is true or not.
After they burnt down that historic bookshop full of one-of-a-kind books signed by long dead authors I wouldn't put it past them to target random unrelated hobby shops. Better hope those shops have taken precaution and not just assumed they won't be targeted.anyways, my hatred for testors aside, with the chauvin trial ending, i cant order from galactic toys anymore, because theyre based in michigan, which will likely burn again, and i dont want to risk my shipment being looted. as well, the nice hobby shop near me will probably get hit again
are you guys worried about this kind of shit happening or am i just schizophrenic
makes better exterior housepaint than anything gunpla. it literally dries to be thicker no matter how little you use and covers shit in a rubbery coat that is never smooth and looks like dogshit unlike can paints or any thinner paints.
Re-asking the question
Their metallics are good, everything else is weirdly thick and goopy.
If it's only for meme material then I'd say "No". That's pretty pricey just for a meme. But if you like it on its own then the meme pics you could make with it adds to the value. Especially with faces like this...
In my eternal hunt for an HG ZZ Gundam it feels like every hobby store does this, but I get what you mean
lol Any clips or something? I don't doubt it since it's the Internet after all.
no clips, sadly, but ask around enough and you'll find others with awful experiences with him. ive had my own
Damn that's a shame. My dad JUST ordered my brother some LBX model kits from there. I don't know much about them myself since I'm still a newbie to the hobby. I guess i'll make sure everything comes safely then for him.
Yeah the android part is what makes it alright to me, too. If you do end up getting it make sure to post posing pics or a review in this thread.
You're a good brother
and you've got great aesthetic
I'm pretty sure they partly define the base model type, hence why all the RX variants have similar designs. In fact, a lot of the UC aesthetic is similar and that's on purpose. It's not only for nostalgia but also to show the natural in-world progression of technological design, like how a tanks and planes don't just get advanced into a flying beatle or robo-eagle but rather still resemble their predecessor in their fundamental aesthetic. The numbers and letters typically reflect that, I think.

And a change of weapons would be very cool, although I think her weapons are supposed to be modular in that you can snap-connect them like a Frame Arms kit and do other stuff with them. No idea, though.

Pretty sure Star Trek has a similar approach to its ships. It's pretty common SciFi stuff.
As for what the "R" and "X" mean in RX or something like that, I have no idea. It's probably fleshed out in a novel or something.
For minor detailing--which is the main fun after building and probably what you mean--I'd say simple Panel Liner Gundam markers. Use black for dark colors (like black or blackish blue). Use gray for white and most everything else. Brown for yellow or orange colors typically but it's up to you. Panel Liner markers are fantastic, lasts quite a while (the markers I mean, their applications are perfect and will stick mostly forever in a crevice), easy to use, non-toxic (unless you lick it off your finger) and are the cheapest of any detailing tool you'll ever purchase. Even when the tips get frizzy or start to break you can still use them like shaders as they then give a kind of smokey aesthetic. Great stuff and pretty universal for ages in application. Shouldn't be more than $10-15 with shipping and tax.
