It's even worse than that.
just before he dies, Hathaway sees Quess' ghost, who taunts him, calls him an idiot, and says she never loved him.

Bright just didn't raise him right. He didn't punch Hathaway enough. Amuro turned out all right.

I don't think so. I think the Fedex paper said "reduced scale model" or something, so it probably gets checked as not being a toy. I could've swore I ordered something via SAL before but I can't remember so I won't speak on it.
And yeah, HLJ allowing you to reserve items for when they restock is a huge advantage, otherwise they pretty much only ever have <10 things actually in stock at any given time. And because you're ordering 2 MGs, it'll probably kill you with the shipping, and you'll get hit with something close to what I got hit with, considering my box size was about what'd fit two MGs.

Then how come he was never able to manage a stable relationship, and was emotionally distant all the time?

It just always seemed funny to me how many people seemed to ignore who made it when thinking like this.
Tomino is most notorious for two things: Killing off major characters and consistently trying to end Gundam forever.
but with CCA he wasn't trying to do either one for some reason
That's the fault of being a strong Newtype!
So newtypes are like autistics?

I see newtypes get compared to autistic people all the time, and frankly it's an incorrect comparison if ever there was one. They're like polar opposites.
While autistic people have difficult picking up cues that could alert them to other's emotional states due to lacking theory of mind, newtypes are acutely aware of others thoughts and feelings.

Interesting. That sounds like Will Graham.

I finally finish building my first gunpla, all hand paint except for primer:
Before the paint:
I made a f tons of mistake, including over spraying the primer, so the paint is thick as heck. I need to cut off someone the joint and glue it instead. Some paint is falling off here and there (due to my finger pushing the parts together). Screw up most of the panel lining (I suck at panel wash, and no way to remove gundammarker mistake without destroying the paint). Some sanding mistake, some cutting mark on plastic, etc etc.. I also sealed the paint with some dust on the model.
Did I mention it took at least 10 layers of thinned paint to do white over gray primer?
Overall I am still very proud of the paint job. It is a good thing I start with this $5 model before destroying a master grade. I learned a lot. The whole project took me 2 weeks, mostly due to stupid mistake, missing supplies, and doing research.
Next project for me is this, this time I will hand brush the primer instead of using a can, I really don't have the patient or skill to spray a thin layer.
Based on number of parts.... see you guys in 8 months?

And strangely they're terribly unperceptive off the battlefield. It's a common shounen protagonist's trait to be dense to the opposite sex's interest in them. Amuro misses out on Frau Bow for that very reason. He stumbles into a thing with Sayla and two more women before he's KIA. Char on the other hand seems to have no interest in women other than to manipulate them except for Lalah and he planned to use her at first too.
Social ineptitude isn't autism for sure.
I just finished the HGAC Wing Gundam Zero.
I got to say I know opinons are just that opinions. However I find it almost insanity that one could possibly think this is a better design then Proto Zero.
The proportions on Wing Zero are SOOOOOO BAD, I don't think I've ever seen an uglier Gundam when it comes to it's shoulders

Take pics!
Finished panel-lining the Build Strike and just applied some glue to the Blue Piece of Shit that it comes with. Hopefully it'll stick how I want it to. :/

I just finish the upper body of Rx-98-2, only took 5 hours. I felt so cheated, you can't even see 70% of the parts that I sand and assemble.
On the other hand, just by the look of it, master grade will very easy to paint. There are no seam lines to glue/putty, I am really impress with the construction. Each individual color is its own part, it will require nearly no masking. Panel lining will be a bitch tho
MG is a lot smaller than I expected, I don't think I can ever build a RG, just the small parts will drive me crazy.

I also finished the HGFC Shining Gundam. I got to say the color separation is really disappointing, good over all kit but still.
Also between Wing Zero and Shining Gundam have AWFUL waist joints, to shallow so they fall apart way to easily at the stomach.
Robot Damashii is easily the best Wing Zero TV ever made.
1/100 High Grade is TRASH
1/144 90's No Grade is pretty bad as well.
HGAC Wing Zero is a pretty good little model.
1/60 No Grade is actually not that bad and I'd say thebest model form of Wing Zero TV out of all the 90's kits.
I looked at pictures of it but there's certain things I don't like....
I was gonna go with this one.

That is a really recent kit and apparently pretty good.
Here's a nice review of the kit. Not a fan of the design myself so I don't know much more about it.

Alright, so, HGUC Sinanju Titanium Finish, without weapons.
The way I first went at it was by simply trying to paint the gold details using Tamiya's Gold Leaf marker. I stopped that as soon as the marker touched the first part (I used the right hand's inner wrist as a testbed). That marker has a tip half the size of my thumb and the paint flow is generous to say the least. What happened was that all the sleeves detail was completely drowned in beautiful golden paint and after trying to wash it clean under the sink the whole part was covered in gold. So I then took the black Gundam panel liner
to paint the necessary details back in.
After that dumb shit happened I thought to invest in a brush. I found a nice tiny brush (synthetic, if that matters) in a shop and used that to proceed painting. Just press the marker down on your paint mixing plate or whatever and you're good to go. Things went better, paint distribution was more even and all I had to do then was just to use the panel liner to cover up the mistakes. It makes some of the parts look really weird in photos. Like on the chestpiece you can still see a lot of gold paint where you really can't with the naked eye.
What I'm saying is that if you have easy access to good hobby stores then do it the way Enron did it.
My experimental fucking around is not what this kit deserves. I fucked up the shield the most and will have to make some more passes with the panel liner on that.
As far as HGs go I think this one is so amazing. The titanium coating is totally worth the money, even if it does leave some gnarly cutmarks. But fuck those piss yellow stickers - this kit needs to be painted and I definitely am glad I did. I'm 100% certain that it looks far better than it would with those trash tier stickers.

That is easily the best quality Wing Zero Bandai has ever released.
I just didnt mention it because its part of the new Endless Waltz manga so I didn't know if that one was a no go for you.
The build is really easy, very beginner friendly and it lacks some inner detail (chest doesn't hardly have any) that said its got some great features as well.
Also this Wing Zero can actually hold the Twin Buster Rifle when combined in one hand. Zero EW has a heart attack even thinking about that.
it's a good kit, i can confirm. i had a lot of fun with it but shamefully my painting skills let it down

Shares that with Gundam X which was clearly made with the same mindset as Zero, including the weak waist (sadly X is 100x worse).

Seems like every day this Japanese streamer is working on a new Gunpla.
Yeah, I agree. She may not be a great character, but she serves a purpose in showing the fallout of Char/Amuro's conflict and the dangers of Newtype powers when one's emotions aren't controlled.

That Sinanju looks nice, didn't know the HG looked great for that as well.
Question about glass casing anyone know a decent glass case for HG and RG gundam sizes?

The only one I know of is the IKEA Detolf. There might be too much space between the rows for 1/144 kits but you can buy clear cubes and use them as stools to help showcase the kits in the back.
Here's another Gunpla streamer I see every once in a while and he's playing the beautiful CCA OST in the background (at the moment).

Is there a hobby store in your area?
Like, for arts and crafts and such. I think IKEA sells some, too.
What's the best Zeta Gundam model so far? I was interested in the RG one, but it seems way too fragile.

Awesome paint job, did you use gloss red or flat red below the titanium finish?
kiunchbb

Are you hand printing or spraying? What color were you trying to do. In my experience hand brushing on top of primer white and red are the hardest color to get on.
Hand-painting. White primer, trying to put on bright gold. Looks like I might only need 3 layers of gold, which is better I guess, but if I need like 1-2 layers of primer/gesso, it ends up being around the same amount of layers D;
lol. It's the Titanium coated Sinanju. It comes molded like that.

Ah I see. Thanks anyway.
Primer only help your paint stick better, so it will have less peel and blister. The only time you will save paints is either you try to paint a lighter shade than the plastic (white paint on black plastic), or if the color is very close to the color of your primer.

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 1 - 50:
What.
Wait, what.
That's how the series ends? THAT'S HOW YOU DEAL WITH THIS STORY?
I can't even.
Nope.
Whatever.
So... what am I supposed to watch next? Should I go to ZZ, or do I move to something else?

ZZ. It picks up right where zeta ends, with the aftermath of the battle of gryps.
All Zeta kits are really fragile from what I read. Maybe the MG V2 is the best?

If you're the kind of guy who doesn't pose the kits a lot then you could go with the RG. It's a piece of shit but the build is interesting and the end result, when in a stable pose, looks really really cool.
I only painted the gold parts.
