Do you donate blood?

  • I actually donate a lot, bout every two months for whole blood. I do it all the time so afterwards I feel no difference, maybe a sore arm if the phlebotomist wasn’t the best. If you go in with an empty stomach you might feel crappy and if you go in dehydrated they’ll struggle getting the blood… and you’ll feel pretty crappy.

    I do it mostly for the civic duty of it all. Better to help when you can imo. Also there is a ton of data about donating blood being good for you. I’ve seen articles on it helping remove micro plastics and PFAS chemicals from the body. So hey, might as well

    My very first custom

  • No but close, that was the mega size rx78 I was working on

    My very first custom

    This was done a while back, maybe a year or so. It was my first full paint job. Used Mr. Color rattle cans and went for a more military color scheme. I didn’t order enough paint so while waiting for deliveries I kinda kit bashed the OG Astaroth and the rinascimento. Made a few mistakes but learned from it.

    My fist fully airbrushed kit

  • Yeah, I definitely learned from this one. That’s basically my process now. Test spray on spoons then model. I really like the hobby mio gloss black. Looks nice and is actually black

    My fist fully airbrushed kit

  • Yeah, I was a bit bummed tbh. But after some time I actually like it. Makes it a bit more unique imo

    My fist fully airbrushed kit

    This was back last year. I took a EG RX-78-2 and used hobby mio lacquer paints through my new iwata airbrush. Overall pretty happy. Used knight gold and mecha “black” plus red on the eyes. Only complaint was the black was purple. Idk who at hobby mio decided THIS was “mecha black”

  • Same. Also just the facts that wrap-around stickers NEVER work. I just masked off the spike and antenna and sprayed white on. More work to break out the airbrush but I HATE stickers that much lol

  • lol, truth. For me it’s way more a skill thing. My hands get shaky and I can’t place them well. Exception being any stickers that wrap around. Those just don’t work and don’t know why Bandai still uses them

    MG Kampfer

    I just finished building this guy the other day. For an older kit it wasn’t that bad. Added some detail painting to make him pop(or cause I refuse to use stickers)
