    That brownish stuff in the exia avalanche’s hollow parts is Tamiya quick type epoxy putty. Builders use it to filling empty space like the ones you see there. You can sand it down.

    @zeddoverkill ปีที่แล้ว +215

    Dunno if this has been mentioned (LOOOOOTTA comments!) but the snipped connections, particularly the peg holes is a building trick for ease of disassembly. I learned it at a con workshop ages ago. Basically, it allows you to test fit, look for gaps/unevenness, etc and also paint parts separately. I had never seen it in the wild. (I also haven't really used the technique in ages).

      yeah looks like our gaikotsu here is new to the world of kit bashing or any actual modding. this is actually a really really really common test fit method in japan. also from the way gaikotsu juding this seller with "who builds kit like this? straight build, no nothing" on that build strike, we can see that our gaikotsu prob doesn't know a lot about test fit as well.

      The most value I find in gunpla is the building experience.
      Trying to build a kit as close to perfection as possible can be quite frustrating yet very relaxing at the same time.
      That's why I really enjoy the RG kits even though it's mostly just build, pose, and leave them there forever.

    Angled pegs are for ease of disassembly. So you can snap em and then paint them kits later. The coating of paint is gonna thicken up those pegs when you reassemble after painting so it wouldn’t feel as loose as it is right now.

    "Who builds kits like this?" 15:18 Probably some kid. When I was young, there was no way I would be able to convince my parents to buy any painting equipment, any modeling materials. I could barely afford to buy the model kits that were available in Toys-R-Us in the 90s as a middle schooler. So I would build the kits with only my bare hands, no nippers, no tools. And often I would leave the stickers off, dreaming of the possibility that one day, I would be able to paint the models.

    • @SpexSpexington
      @SpexSpexington ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Everyone starts small and builds their collection and tools over time. I started building the original Wing kits back in the late 90's/early 00's with just my hands (duh) and a hand-me-down fishing tackle box of very basic modeling supplies that my father gave me. The box really only contained some half-dried Testors model paints, some very (badly) cheap paint brushes, a basic hobby knife, some old model glue, and some paper paint trays and toothpicks. Eventually, my skills grew, and I slowly purchased new paints, tools, etc. After a hiatus for college, I returned to the hobby as an adult, where I continued to explore techniques that I was able to learn with thanks to the internet, and I continued getting more and better tools. Eventually, I got an airbrush and converted a small room in my house into a building room for my kits.
      I'm certainly not one of those guys you see on TH-cam who build those masterpiece kits with all the details and stuff, but my abilities have grown 1000-fold since I was a kid, and the tools and building areas I use now and way better than I used to have.
      Point is: you have to start somewhere, and we all should be starting cheap (I'd be concerned about the person who buys their first Gunpla kit, an airbrush, and hundreds of dollars worth of tools and supplies, before even attempting the first build!). Once you realize that it's a hobby you enjoy, then you grow the willingness to invest time, money, and effort into getting better equipment and tools for it... gradually (unless you're really well off!).

    • @EcnoTheNeato
      @EcnoTheNeato ปีที่แล้ว

      Came here to say that. My first 5 or so kits I didn’t use a nipper. I did panel lining, sure, but there are some noticeable nubs even still to this day! So could be an early build or one a younger sibling/friend made?

  • @SirJamestown
    @SirJamestown ปีที่แล้ว +47

    $251 seems like a lot for a box of someone's "junk" but considering almost everything that showed up was mostly complete and there was only the one dud Exia kit AND a lot of these were ones you didn't already have, I'd say you made out like a bandit. I'm very jealous of that Grimoire and Airmaster.

    Those random weapons, shield and that weird hand at 40:46 were from a campaign that if you go to certain hobby stores in japan and buy certain gunpla(I believe it was stuff from the Build Fighters line), you were given a random mini kit that was a random weapon used for customizing. There were a couple of campaigns like that and each campaigns had about 4-6 little mini kits.
    I was lucky enough that the shop I get my gunplas from, here in Canada, were able to get some of them, so I had gotten a couple of them.

    Buying at 2nd hand & boneyard market is really fun. Its cheap & sometimes you find gold or treasure in there.

    Kind of wish over here in the states have the parts replacement treatment they got in japan because there are a handful of gunpla during my early days I wasn't to proud of and would love to go back and fix up on what I could have done much better.

      I don't know about now, but they did when Bluefin still existed. I used it when some parts from my RG Sinanju randomly broke due to some sort of chemical reaction they had with a particular brand of super glue. (The parts literally heated up and melted, causing cracks or the entire piece to break in half. Weirdly enough, they didn't break on panel lines or anything like that. They just broke in weird places).
      It took like 2 months to get the replacement parts, but it worked. But yes, we really need something still, even if the parts have to ship from Japan. I highly doubt that Bandai can justify the costs of opening a model production plant in the USA or Western country.

      Yep you should ask the store selling gunpla. I broke the ankle on my mg zz ver ka the first time I tried to move it. Instead of moving it sheared right of like a piece of paper. Contacted the store and they would ask with the supplier. Took over a year for me, didnt count on it anymore, and then the replacement part came haha.

    Mecha, how's the backlog with 30 Minutes stuff? They just announced a bunch of new stuff for Missions and Sisters AND THOSE ARE AWESOME!
    Anyway, if you have some acetone, you can use that with your pack of nubs to make sprue goo to patch up the loose parts of the kits, and even glue parts together and remove seam lines for your future customs.

    From what I can see from banshee's left arm, this guy might plan to build a unicorn with beam smart gun, not with the claw too

    The original builder is a man after my own heart- pop on the foil stickers and bin the decals. If it can stand, it can fight. (Not like high grade decals are that great anyway)

    The build fighter kits are my favorites, I would cry seeing these kits torn a part😭 (if I were to mess them up in my collection.) But as Meijin Tatsuya Yuuki says, "Gunpla is freedom!" Build on Gaikotsu! Can't wait to see all your custom builds!!!🤘

    One day son goes off to university and mum packs up all his gunpla including his little box of spare poly caps and hands and sells it online.
