I haven’t put paint to brush in about 20 years, but got an itch and decided to throw together one of these smaller teams using mostly paint the kid had leftover after painting rocks. Now I just need to figure out the rules and find some opponents!
This model is kind of special for me. I spent several months in Korea last year on an extended work trip. I got to go to a Gundam Base for the first time and knew that I had to get at least one Gundam Base limited model as a souvenir. Among all of the MG size and translucent models I found the one Gundam that I enjoy with my...
The Caletvwlches are very versatile, and each one has more stickers on them than the whole body!
I was also pleased that every accessory/weapon can be stored on the model when not in use. That includes 2x beam sabers, rifle, shield, Gerbera Straight sword, and 3x Caletvwlches. That is the kind of thing that I really appreciate.
It looks great! As far as the parts popping off, that is how some models are. Fortunately it’s less and less common the newer the model is. It also seems that the more complicated the model, the less it likes to stay together when posing.
Usually they camp it in language where they are only able to cut one check (company policy of one check per PO, for example), but they need to pay two people, you and another facilitator such as a transport service. The extra money is to pay for the transport service, which is actually also the scammer.

No no no. The correct way is to never check. Then when random boxes show up you have no idea what’s in them and you get a little bit of that christmas cheer.
That’s an interesting opinion. Unfortunately, the facts don’t quite align with your feelings.
it’s imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime
Why do you believe this? Police forces as they exist today aren’t even as old as the US. Sure, the US wasn’t a bastion of freedom upon its founding but that wasn’t due to a lack of police. The absolute biggest factors for controlling neighborhood level crime are increasing public education and reducing the effects of poverty.
I don’t think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it’s required.
And this is the weirdest take right here. Freedom and strong, strict police forces are inversely related by definition. One could even point to the origin of many police departments as opposition to freedom.
Yes, feelings are when you think something works in a certain way without facts to back it up. Like the opinion that strict policing reduces crime. It’s a common opinion, but not one that is consistent with the facts.
Do you think that Oakland, Chicago, and Detroit do not have police? Those cities have very harsh police departments and it’s not reducing crime. What those cities do have in common is a high poverty rate when geographically controlled and above average poverty rates for the US without even taking geography into account.
What do I want? I want to make changes that comport to the facts of the world, not people’s feelings.
I kinda wish Lemmy had polls right now. With my spare A5 almost in my hands I’m looking forward to the next build, but I can’t decide if I should start a HG Zaku/Ghost/Victory moon fight scene or the ver.Ka RX-93 with double fin funnels. A poll would make it so much easier to quickly get the opinion of my fellow builders! Oh...
If the XM-XO is anything like the XM-XX model, then that thing just felt so good putting together. I’d go for the moon fight scene first just to work on that model.
Decent build, all around. If I had one complaint, it’d be the clamps holding the feet to the surfboard. The clamps have a single peg at the back that go into the grooves on the board, which allows for some fairly dynamic poses, but they’re at risk of popping out if the Maxter gets jiggled too hard....

I have been studying Korean for a while and been looking into Korean language music. Of course every country seems to mostly have some light pop on their top lists, but I don’t feel like I have had problem finding diverse genres and bands from other countries. But when I have been searching for Korean bands and especially...
Commenting on this old thread because I actually have some insight for you. There is a decent amount of original rock/punk/metal Korean music, but most of it is performed in English. But that style of music just isn’t as popular in Korea. I spent several months in Korea last year and it wasn’t easy to find local rock music at first.
Two bands off the top of my head that do perform in Korean are Method (metal) and Harry Big Button (hard rock).
Cherry Filter is one that I hadn’t heard before, I’ll have to add them into my playlists.
If you’re interested in diving further, the method that’s worked the best for me is to find a venue that plays at least close to the style of music and then just search up each band that they advertise to see how they sound. Then when I find a band I see what venues they advertise that they will be playing at. Most of it seems to be available on instagram.
For a good start, I’d look at Club AOR’s Insta and go from there.
