Love the Iron-Blooded coating kits - HG Marchosias
  • I wish I could take credit for the paint job, but all I did was some minor touch-ups after snipping off the runners. I guess I should've been a little more clear in the title. Here's the kit: https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2588123001002

  • Thanks for the heads-up on the embedded images, that is indeed a PITA. I've stuck with kbin/mbin because I browse on desktop and am not a fan of Lemmy's UI. Maybe I'll take a look at it again at some point.

  • Jesta is besta
  • Love this guy, probably my favorite "grunt" unit. I built the MG version, and eventually want to get a 2nd one to paint.

  • I saw some dragonflies flying around my backyard the other day and was reminded of that fact.

  • What's the latest gadget or tech that you regret buying?
  • Not at all. You can buy a receiver to use Xbox's proprietary wireless standard, which is marginally faster than bluetooth, but I use an Xbox Series X controller with my pc over bluetooth and it works just fine.

  • What's the latest gadget or tech that you regret buying?
  • You'll need to check the specs of your laptop to be sure, but most laptops nowadays have a bluetooth receiver built in. All you need to do is pair your xbox controller to it (and it's natively supported in Windows) and you're good to go.

  • Stormgate developers say they want to lower the RTS skill floor, not the skill ceiling: 'It's okay to be a high-skill game'
  • I'm looking forward most to the co-op missions. I liked those in SC2 and wished they had expanded on them more.

  • Hey, they didn't show this in anime...
  • Do you really believe people shouldn't be traveling abroad? Why is that? Do you believe everyone should stay home instead?

  • Hey, they didn't show this in anime...
  • Or they're going because now is a prime opportunity to visit on a budget. A tourist tax could mean some visitors staying for less time or deciding to visit somewhere else.

  • [A16Z GAMES] The Unlikely Return of the Video Game Demo
  • He has bills to pay like the rest of us, and considering he left traditional games media to start a crowdfunded project (NoClip), I doubt he would take a deal like this unless he needed to.

  • Do you stick to one scale?
  • I prefer 1/100 models for their size and extra detail, but there's a lot more selection with HG kits. I've only built a couple RG kits.

    Since you mentioned SD kits, check out the MGSD kits. Both are great builds and look nice with good articulation.

    I haven't moved since I started Gunpla, but I would suggest plastic containers or sturdy cardboard boxes and layer with egg crate foam. Also disassemble the models a bit (arms, legs, weapons, backpack) before packing to move.

    My first PGs! And an MG I instantly wanted
  • I've built the RX-178 MK-II. It's a really good build, especially for being so old. The only thing I can think of mentioning for it is it has screws, so you'll need a small phillips head screwdriver.

  • Weekend check in. What's going on with your weekend?
  • Hopefully finishing the paint job on my latest model and starting the build process.

  • What's been your favourite headset for gaming so far?
  • I'm on my 2nd Cloud 2 headset, love them. The only issue is the plastic on the sides tends to crack after a couple years.

  • Tech support workers, what are your favorite stories from your time in the industry?
  • When I worked help desk, a coworker of mine took a call where someone called in because one of the thin clients was on fire. The user was advised to call 911.

    I was helping a user reset their password and the convo went something like this: Me: Ok, your temporary password is Password1. Log in with that and you'll be prompted to change it. User: Is that a capital 1? Me: No, just a regular 1.

  • HG Solid-Clear Aerial and HG Lfrith

    These were some of the first models I painted. I really like how the glossy black accentuates the clear parts on Aerial.

    HG FA-78 Full Armor Thunderbolt ver.
  • Yeah, for sure. Ever since I started gunpla, I saw this guy and thought "He looks ridiculous... I want him."

  • HG FA-78 Full Armor Thunderbolt ver.

    I got the FA-78 Thunderbolt ver.ka a while back and loved the kit, so decided to get the HG version as a paint project. I'm pleased with how the color scheme turned out.

    What's looking up for next week with everyone?
  • Me too! I'm not going anywhere over the next 2 weeks, but it will be nice to have the time off.

  • MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero

    I painted all but the white and green.
