Anon....you're going to have to buy the same kit and try again......

>>23379516
Nope. You can fix it with cement and sanding.
OP is still a fag for not paneling, painting and decaling this kit. It needs more love
Pastel blue panel lines would look nice on FAGundam.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

You loose points for the nubs, but good taste

>>23378035 (OP)
that is awesome dude, but if thats kit #13 then it is probably time to push your hobby skills a little further.

I see a lot of nub marks, which probably mean that you're working too fast. I would buy a 10 dollar cheap gunpla kit on amazon and a 20 dollar cheap single bladed nipper to pair with your double bladed nipper from the gunpla kit.

try your best to understand what each grit of sanding does. personally I like to take an x-acto blade and trim the nub flush with the plastic, then sand it all very smooth with glass files and soft sanding sponges. It isn't perfect, but it is never perfect and you'll find a happy medium of tedium that you enjoy while also producing a badass figure at the end.

At some point you might also want to experiment more with a ink pen to fill in your recesses and help make the added detail of a gunpla kit pop.

Personally I really like the RFV Solari zaku as a high grade kit, it's going to teach you everything you need to know about panel lining and you'll be glad you built it by the end.

>>23378035 (OP)
posting an unpainted kit is of little value to anyone else but you OP, do better

>>23378035 (OP)
I hope you enjoyed it, but if you want to share the fruits of your labor online, you should really actually TRY to improve your fundamentals. Shave nubs down till they're flush, sand if you need, panel line the most visible indents (the vents of the head require this), clip the safety bumps off of the V-fin, topcoat with clear matte or semigloss as desired. All this is pretty much the bare minimum stuff you need to do to set a baseline from which you can add and improve your methods.

>Pastel blue panel lines
you don't know what panel lines are

>>23378035 (OP)
/m/aybe.

>>23378035 (OP)
no, stop wasting money on kits if youre gonna put no effort into them. get some sanding and polishing sticks a rattlecan topcoat and some model acrylics and you can get much better results for marginally more effort

>Pastel blue panel liner would look good
Better?

>>23378035 (OP)
>no panel lining.
Buy one fucking marker at least.

>>23378035 (OP)
Buy the RG kits. They all look great even without painting, panel lining, removing nubs, etc.

>>23381283
Seconding this, learning panel lining even with the markers will make a huge difference OP

>>23384217
why would i spent so much effort on something thats gonna be on a shelf anyways. its not close enough for me to see every small detail

>>23384320
There is not a single kit that looks acceptable, let alone "great", without removing nubs.

as long as you're having fun OP

>>23384765
Because they're autistic.
Looks fine anon, all your nomie friends won't be able to tell or care.
Its just not post on the internet and get e-cred worthy.

>>23384274
NTA but I assume he's saying that pastel blue wouldn't work for that model since it only has the dark blue on it
