Anyone build Gunpla?


Recommended Posts

Always been intrigue by Mobile Suit Gundam, and when I was in Tokyo I picked up a chibi-scale model to bring home and build. Really enjoyed it…

I now want to build a bigger one, and am looking for something similar in style to an RX-78 to place within my PC case. I also am considering painting - as it needs to match the greys aesthetic of the case.

Am really up for anyone suggesting the direction I should look in for a decent model…

 

thanks

Back when I was in University I did the whole Gundam Wing set (Including Wing zero Custom with the rubber individual feathers) It was a lot of fun, I haven't done one in nearly 20 or so year though.)

I dabble in some master grades every once in awhile, actually getting a new air brush as a gift later this year (Iwata)

Seeing as part of my plan is to paint one, I am considering an airbrush...

A couple of friends of mine have been building Gunpla for years and got me interested, so I asked and they recommended this as a fairly good quality, very affordable, starting point.

It was fun to build, didn't take too long, and helped me decide if I wanted to go further with the hobby, which I did.  Still only got this one built, but that's only due to time availability!

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
