Tamiya Panel Line Accent:
This thing works really well until I used it on my MG Patlabor for panel lining. What happens is the paint would jump from the tip of the brush to the model like Venom's symbiote latching on to his host. It would jump outside of the panel line before there's contact between the surface and the brush. Once there's contact the liquid will do it's thing and fill the cavity but some paint would creep out of the panel crevice. has anyone experienced this with their Tamiya Panel line accent?

CHAVAKAISER, Does that transform?
Checkmate, which Ingram is that? I have one and a Pit Road vehicle planning to light up eventually.
It’s the MG 1/35 Ingram 2.

a few quick snaps
Has anyone tried removing the canopy? That seam in the middle can be easily sanded down if it's removable.

Anime-Export came through for me. This was a purchase the next day post PO madness.

Nice job snagging another. You'll have to let me know how Okini Land pulls through.
Okini said they'll send it out Monday.

Wow! I guess I should have waited a few more minutes.
I checked that site a couple of days ago and I swear it said reservations closed...because of that I didn’t expect them to have any product once it was released.
Edit:
...and now sold out.
lasted about 2 minutes?

nice. I'm still not quite sure if I want it.
I've long stopped being a big fan of the series, but there's something quite alluring about having a giant EVA-01 figure on display.I prefer 1/4 scale figures so the 18 inch EVA fits in nicely with my collection. And have you seen how much the original RAH is priced now? insane.

Maybe the fact the Medicom put up a reissue preorder on the same day, for the RAH EVA-01 is a sign they're well aware people aren't going to be able to get this, so why not get a tall (390mm) EVA-01 instead
I actually PO'd the Medicom first even before bothering with the EVA-02.

I got one from Bluefin!

I guess 3ok or 32k from them once they refresh the product page for Eva 02

32K. you're right.

The dismantling and re-assembly part of the process is the most intimidating for me. Congrats on the custom! I would suggest using flat or matte paint or maybe coat it with dullcote to remove the gloss. Was the paint job done by hand or airbrush?

That will be great. Where would one find info about this or get alert when/if it happened?
https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/preorders/31822-evangelion-eva-01-reissue-metal-build--4573102550408.html unsure if this is what he’s pertaining to.

Another example of a store where I get it into the cart but can't check out fast enough... <sigh>
I placed DX CHogokin in the search field and the page showed me the 1A and 1J but no 1S. i was F5'ing that page and then saw your post. How'd it show up on yours?

available again. the bastards should have released these earlier.

I had the lamps on each side face backwards and have the Ingram slight illuminated from behind. Also turned up the shutter speed and f stop at 2.8. I used the same technique on this Voltron.
