>>11585170>not FA Haykushikiloltechnically trueanyways I started with the SNAA Tristan, curious RG-like inner frame but man, the plastic of this thing is much harder than I expected
Asking once again:I have a kit that after over a year of proudly displaying on my shelf, I realized I could've done much better. I want to revisit it (redo some panel lining and fill gaps, mostly, maybe airbrush a couple details), but I already applied flat topcoat.Should I strip the top coat? What's the best way to do it? Or should I just try filling gaps and panel lining with the topcoat on and then do another layer or two?
Started posting onntwitter @goggplamoWill probably still post here
>>11585405Stripping is the worst part of this hobby by far.Unless you are broke, its probably better to just buy a new kit. Its unlikely that stripping will remove the panel lining, because lining tends to stain the plastic.You can't fill gaps on a kit that is not painted, unless your filler matches the color of the kit, and even then it probably won't work.
>>11585405What kit is it, I want to see!If it's an old friend and you were proud of how it turned out, might be neat to keep him as-is and just get a new kit while still fondly having the old one as a special friend. I'm sort of anticipating that it's not a grunt suit but still. It'd have its own charm by being an arguably "less" or "worse" job but still proudly standing next to recent and more detailed builds. Hopefully it's not an expensive kit, at the very least.
>>11585409Should use the gunpla gallery. Main problem is its low activity. Good thing is you wont be burried under stupid political posts and squabbles over stupid shit. Project V Hobby r3d printed resin white dingo proto beam rifle. Good shit. Nice print quality. Highly recommend.
That's half of my orders here.Now I'm waiting on HG quacks and the 30MS nurse parts.
>>11585904Forgot my pic
>>11585421Megami Device Little Red.I mostly just want to fill the seams in the legs and arms. I recently started doing that with my newer models, and it's so easy I want to go back to my previous ones and do it. This is one of the few that I top coated since I didn't think I'd want to change anything at the time.
>>11586671She already looks adorable and completely fine...This looks like an expensive kit however, so I don't know about getting a second one. And I'm a snapshitter so I can't tell you anything about topcoat
>>11585906MG Virtue is a nice kit
>>11585405An easy way to strip paint or topcoat is some isoproyl alcohol and a toothbrush, give it a soak and start scrubbing.A second one is dirt cheap on Mandarake though so I'd just grab a new one and go nuts with that, or instead get her the matching Grandma who's also about 3kish yen on there and fix her up.
>>11586949store in the mall has one. Do i get it?
>>11587410Depends, does it cost more than ninety bucks? I bought mine for sixty from Hobby Lobby, but I'm quite sure they're not going to stock them again for quite a long time.
>>11587437maybe 5$-10$ more then online
>>11587470Then it really depends on how much patience you have. Online webstores tend to have sales during the holidays, and if you're lucky you can save probably 15-20% more during Black Friday or so.Whenever I order online, I do so in bulk, to save on shipping costs. It tends to matter more for things like paints though.
