Game dev, model kit hobbyist, avid suda51/visual novel fan. they/them.
the fact that the KOG AT boxart is referencing one of the best spreads in the entire manga has me hopeful that we'll get a kit of the Last Jünchoon/Jünchoon ODK eventually. we're probs gonna get the og design first but still.

i know i talk so much about this guys designs but im gonna be insufferable when this manga comes out in English

you will never hear me shut the fuck up about how the Jünchoon/Junone is maybe one of the best mechs ive seen in my life. every single variation is a banger

Gotta get up for work on Black Friday and I just gotta remember that the light at the end of the tunnel of surviving this hell day is that I'm able to reward myself with mapo tofu afterwards

anyways i did all this before running out of my main bottle of liquid primer. having to refill it is what prompted this. I'm praying the rest of it ends up looking good enough that it doesn't feel outta place

I know my posts abt model painting stuff can go over a lot of my mutual's heads
but if there's one thing you learn from me about the hobby let it be this

liquid primer is fucking temperamental. getting the ratios wrong on primer:thinner ruins the primer's flow AND your flow for the painting process

I'm fortunate in that the parts I'm sanding are clear very dark green that I'm painting a solid black (to add a green-purple colorshift layer after). if i wanted to keep it see-through, that's where the problem would arise.

wanting to paint a kit that has clear parts is cool until you have to sand the parts down for nubmark removal and shit looks utterly mangled before you prime them

still thinking about that steins gate reboot info we got last night

friend going through Heaven's Feel was saying "man those mtg collabs lately have been an absolute embarrassment for the card game as a whole but i gotta be honest with myself and admit i would buy a FSN collab if it ever happened" and i had to make this

you can also mod in the ps3 version art instead of the original pc art using the same mod tools

the toei anime changes to those characters are deeply fascinating (aka kinda mind boggling and baffling), but crystal and the og manga having them just be butch idols was so smart
November 13, 2025 at 12:05 AM
did you see the red version that got a figure? goes fuckin crazy

oh rg stickers are so numerous I can't motivate myself to do them
maybe if they were dry transfers, or waterslides, but as stickers?
November 12, 2025 at 5:49 AM
stickers are the devil I'm ngl
i adore the delta kai but the sticker sheet being as bad as it was convinced me to learn how to paint and I've never looked back
November 12, 2025 at 5:38 AM
like Hikaru Midorikawa is in both Togainu No Chi and Sweet Pool and we will be seated
November 12, 2025 at 5:06 AM

arms and legs for non-manual reference
there's no obvious cutouts or gaps, so it has a really natural looking sculpt even when fully bent

it's a really good blend of engineering and architecture, if that makes sense
