    I got a pretty big gunpla builder event next weekend. Haven't told anyone what I'm bringing but this weekend im hoping to put a major dent in a custom made titanium sinanju. The kit shows up tomorrow and after a day of snipping and cleaning I'll be doing a big paint job with tons of silver, clear red, titanium gold, gunmetal and gloss black and reversed wash like the last one. This time though it should be fine as I'll use a lacquer gloss to give it that extra shine. Everyone is gonna flip out.

    I had a pg Zaku back in 05 I think. Rah it's old but it's along the lines of the MG 2.0 I think. It was a good kit.

    I usually wait a month after the release of a comic cause the price will typically go down after the latest issue is released. But my price is 3.99 tops. I just picked up 5 issues of halo for 10 bucks saving me an additional 10. I think someone leaked a full image of the character and Disney had a fit over it and got it removed.

    A mass majority of the industry like marvel, idw, DC, Abd so forth (except dark horse) you can go and create an account for on a site called comixology.com and they have an app for all Apple and android devices so you can download what you purchased in the website. Sadly because people "accidentally" purchased 20 dollar TPB digitals from the app wanting refunds the powers that be got rid of the direct purchase portion of the app.So only way is to go in their website, purchase from there then download thru your account by clicking on the iCloud icon on the app. It's not hard at all, just gotta go back and forth. Off the top of my head dark horse, and Archie comics you can download their app and buy direct from there. DH use to have big problems with their purchasing side. You'd buy the issue but wouldn't download claiming error. Then when you tried to download it again they'd double charge you the issue. Looks like it's fixed now as I haven't had a problem like that in over a year. I have the latest iPad mini at 128......out of that about 20 gigs of it are just comic books.

    Like dizman said, battle worn! Yeah crazy considering 3 are HGUC which is a snap and 1 RG.....it's not hard when you have no life.

    Not all but mass majority of comics can be purchased not only online but on your devices like phone or tablet. Since the closest comic shop is 25 miles away and I have no storage to put them I buy digital. Not only that but I'll typically wait a month so it goes from the 3.99 price to 1.99. I mean dear god why do I wanna pay 4 bucks for 32 pages? I miss the days when I could get a comic for 1.25 and not feel like I was raped. Then again, when I think about it it was still a rape as you had advertisements from sega or Nintendo or Nike or Adidas and whatever else was hot in the 90s.

    I did a speed build last night too.....straight build with cleaning and decals only no lining. I completed a HG dark matter Exia in 1 hour. I don't like the kit. It's pretty blah.

    Stephen Amell confirmed to play Casey Jones in TMNT2. Expect flash backs.

    According to NASA, that cost tax payers about 50 million dollars just to get guitar strings that'll stay in tune in 0 g.

    Working on my RG Z'Gok, almost had an accident with the leg frame cause it's confusing how and where it bends. But I love the detail job I'm putting on it! mm yeah assembling that like buttah!
  12. Hikuro
    Finished! Overall I liked it, only complaint was I lost the sticker sheet so I recycled with what I had left and truthfully that wasn't much. I like it more in standard ops than it's tactical variant a lot more. So I'll keep it that way! Char's Counter Attack as well.

    RRRRRRRR wrong it's actually sparked a debate with the group too. One saying it's AEUG cause they used the GMIII first, another got it correctly with EFSF and they're both showing wiki pages lol. I'm accepting the EFSF answer simply because that's what's labeled on the HGUC box! Yeah what I did with the Zeta I should of gone a different route than using a paint sharpie because it's kind of like a chalkie substance when you wipe it off with rubbing alcohol. So that's my biggest fear when using silver is you start rubbing it off but it kind of just spreads like a chalk residue and that's gonna leave glitter like stuff on the armor. There's no real way of applying it cause the tip of the marker isn't thin........well my white tip is thin, but not thin enough for 1/144 line. I think right now you're looking fine. Phase Shift Down variants I think should show off armor scratches and imperfections imo. Just about done with my GMIII, arms and shield are left to go then it's just sticker application. Turning out good.

    That's after 2 hours of paint and paneling. LOVE my markers I'm now very adept on them thank god! I'm holding a quick contest among my builder groups. If they can guess full designation and military affiliation they win a new marker. You guys can't play

    Rubbing alcohol knocks them out too or the enamel and lighter fluid thin that out just tap tap tap little of no clean up compared to sharpie.

    I've really felt this way since I think Season 2....

    Well that's interesting I was actually expecting a CGI'ed Deadpool film. Now I'm more interested.

    I know that on recently dead the Lazarus pit can bring people back but mentally whack jobbed. Which would be an issue as Sarah has been dead several months, not days. With flash point all Barry has to do is know when and where at his super speed get off the junction stop the death jump back on the freeway and go for the next deal. I actually thought about Barry fixing not only his mothers death but even stop the queens gambit from going out saving Oliver and Robert and Sarah from their horrible fates. Then again saving his mother could do that as well! I need to watch last night again cause there were a few odd scenes they didn't make sense at the time.

    Last nights episode wasn't bad but yeah I'd seem to agree with you. Might explain how caity lotz will be returning. Theories are flashpoint or the pit. Although didn't I see Ollie wearing an assassins uniform in the preview trailer?

    Even having domon kashu in that ending.....I mean we all knew. No surprise there. In all I didn't like the finale. That was kind of bad.

    You can order most p bandai exclusives on gundam planet or GG infinite. Problem is you'll pay about double or more for them CAUSE they're exclusive. I have yet to find any online retailer else who will sell them at a fair market value

    I'm seeing it cause 1) mad max films are always fun, don't see why this wouldn't be 2) it looks better than than thunderdump which I've written off and 3) I have low expectations in Hollywood. Doesn't break my heart in the slightest that Mel Gibson isn't in this in any shape or form and I can understand the reasons behind it. I'm just looking for a popcorn flick and I know a few guys at work who are gonna join me.

    I've seen them, I'll still see it.

    Hm I dunno. The essence of dry brushing is to have most of the paint gone by wiping it away with several good strokes on paper or material that isn't your model. What I do and it's brilliant, I buy a standard wide model brush and I cut about half the brush length so it's super stuff. Dab it on a small amount of silver than stroke away till it starts to loose about 90-95% of its paint. Then carefully just lazy like flick around the edges of the plastic. If you used a q tip it'd be difficult. The paint I'd see be absorbs into the cotton and smearing on the plastic. I can test the idea out but I don't see it really working. It's the same problem using the padded tip on my weathering stuff, it's meant for smearing not precise control like a flat head brush. I'll usually cut a few wide brushes so I got multiple materials I can apply for controlled areas. If you look on the shield of my Vrabe you'll see where using a stiff model brush I got the angles more defined.
