That’s great work, especially with the waterslides on a first build! Definitely one to be more proud of than my first build. Out of curiosity, what did you use for your topcoat? It looks more satin than matte to me and doesn’t seem to have full coverage. In images where a dark part catches the light it looks splotchy.
lemmy.world has an auto-updating scroll that you can’t disable that I suspect is also a memory leak.
The auto-updating should be gone in Lemmy 0.18, but lemmy.world is waiting for 0.18.1 to update so they can keep sign-up captcha. Should only be a couple of days, from what I’ve read.
I’ve heard this kit is really good! As a Full Mechanics kit, it’s not a proper MG, though: same scale but design standards are closer to an HG. The external detail is comparable to a MG, but they lack the inner frames typical of MG kits. Unless it’s an IBO Full Mechanics kit, which do have a frame, but instead have lower overall detail. It’s kind of convoluted and they’re just “The less expensive and easier to design 1/100 kits”
Not quite: The AEUG theme is similar, but the song used for the English release OP is Zeta’s Pulse/Z-Gundam theme
Tamiya is certainly diversifying their product lines
I’ve been using an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS for about a year now and I’m very happy with it. It’s a good choice if you have the budget and only want one airbrush, since you can swap the included .35mm needle+nozzle out with a .5mm set to do things like prime. I use a master airbrush TC-326T compressor, which has been good. It has a regulator with water trap, and that water trap has been good enough for my dry climate. My paint booth is just homemade with a bathroom fan and furnace filter, gets the job done. For respirator, I just grabbed one intended for painting from Home Depot.
And I might as well include an image of my latest finished project, just for fun 😊.
