How do you guys do it??? I’d be so confused with all the different parts, I’d never be able to assemble anything after cutting everything out… Kudos!!!
Yea but the smaller parts can be very similar btw left and right and once you cut off the runners, there’s no identification numbers. LOL maybe i’m just crap at this. XD
@Phillip I always cut out the whole set and then assemble the model. This way it’s more fun…. It’s not that difficult if you follow the manual accurately.
@philliptan, same here man. My brain is drying up trying to think of a way to do this ’til I came up with an idea,. If I’m going to paint I’ll start doing it part by part. For example, finish the arms first or the torso then the other parts. In that way I can easily remember the parts even if I took it all off the runners,. What do you think.?
If I get around to painting a kit, I’ll make sure to take photos of the WIP and share it with you guys,. Lately I’ve been reading and watching tutorials on gunpla painting so hopefully I can learn some techniques. A lot of ideas were going around in my mind and haven’t decided what to do. A lot planning ahead to start things right. 🙂 @ philliptan
Im one of those people that beleave everyone has there own way of doing things. So I try not to knock anyone how they work or how the mow the lawn or even do the dishes. Just as long as it gets done. So on that do what works best for you who knows I might learn from your methoid also 🙂
If your air brushing you cant do it one section at a time you have to do all the peices of that color in one shot or you will waste alot of paint and time but when it comes to detailing then one section at a time makes sense.
I’ve cut my complete Full Armor Unicorn MG, all 31 runners of it, chucked it in a box, washed it, dried it and than put it together after painting it. If I could do it, anyone can. 🙂
Dear sir, should we even get excited about this? Like someone said, all Americans do to movies with mecha theme is to add more explosions and half naked chicks as a sell point. “Transformers! Now you can see more explosions than anytime before. And a superhot chick bent, with her ass in the air!” How about the actual Tranformers? Good thing I’m a…[Read more]
Any movie without Shia LaBeouf is better 🙂 Leonardo is a serious actor, and I would like a serious sci-fi movie that is story driven. Sadly, too many anime series have been ruined when made into live action movies, but we’ll see.
I’ll agree to that but Megan Fox didn’t really help the quality either. Her behind is wonderful, don’t get me wrong there and I enjoy watching it oh-so-much, but not in a Transformers movie. It should be about machines fighting eachother not about LaGouf and his blue-eyed hottie. Peter Callen nailed it as Optimus but was overshadowed by the utmost…[Read more]
Pacific Rim was awesome, and proves that not all American action films are Michael Bay-style trash.
But, seriously, why does anyone complain about a super-hot chick with her ass in the air? What’s not to like? 🙂
Don’t get me wrong, I like her ass, there’s nothing not to like about her it’s just that it’s out of place to me. Haven’t seen Pacific Rim yet. Heard good stuff about it. However I have no idea why they need two pilots/drivers of that huge thing working in sync.
They need two pilots because… just because. Pretty much. 🙂 It’s kind of a gimmick, kind of a plot device… But it also contributed to the sense of grand scale and slightly over-the-top theatrics which is part of the fun in super robot anime and the human side of monster movies.
Star Wars, not bad?!? It’ll be made by Disney for mass production with a 70 year old Han Solo and quite probably singing. Of course it’ll be bad, the question is how bad?

You can check the manual again man if you feel lost or cant assemble it back 🙂

Take the risk 🙂 its ok

When I’m painting and when the pieces are pretty the same I leave them on the sticks. I put a piece of tape and i write the number of the parts on it.

Yes, I also do it part by part… that’s fine. When i see like the entire gunpla in pieces, I just feel so intimidated. lol…

The only parts that are mixed are the yellow ones the rest are in there runner sets in the paper bowls
