I'd just like to speak briefly about an easy and cost effective way to test your paints.
Traditionally, I would test my paint by spraying some on an unused action base, paper, or leftover runner. Since then, I've found that a better way to go about it is to test on some disposable white plastic spoons.
Long ago, in the depths of 2008, I built a Perfect Grade Char's Zaku II. It was horrible. A travesty of all things great. A concoction of orange peel'd gloss and stickers. Thus, 2012 being the end of the world, the only proper thing to do would be to light it on fire and sing a sad song in remembrance. Or I could cover it in awesome.
Confused, mind bruised, it seeps out
Maybe it's about time I let the world onto my little secret Gunpla project...
More to come in the next few days. Maybe.
Some substantial progress on my MG Delta Plus took place last night. Here's how the main kit now stands...
Been awhile since I've had a solid update regarding this project...
Things haven't been going so well. Lots of little issues here and there have been adding up. Just yesterday, I'm really close to finishing the legs, and the paint chips off on the same piece on each leg. FFF.
A snippet from the review...
In my reviews I try to present the kit as how a proper straight build would look, aka nothing more than some simple nub removal and whatever main stickers are required to ‘finish’ the kit. Since this snap out method is new to me I figured I’d give it a shot. The results, for better or worse, you can see in the photos. All this, though, wraps back to my thoughts regarding SD kits. In my opinion they are both the easiest kits to build, and the hardest.
Perhaps I should explain? SD kits appeal to a very young modeling base. They’re cute, adorable, and very easy to build. No sharp instruments are required, no precision piece fitting. They’re suitable for any age, granted your youngin’ doesn’t like to eat small things. Stickers are easy to apply and most kits aren’t too concerned with fine details. Yet, to achieve those details, that requires a lot of talent.

A bit from the review...
Before I go much further I need to mention that it’s been an incredibly long time since I built a HG kit. In fact, the only 1/144 scale kit I worked on in the past four years has been the RG Strike. Heading into this project I have some reservations. I remember a time when the HG kits weren’t the most impressive models, laden with questionable joints and countless stickers. With trepidation I began building this kit and found out very early on that it was… fun!
2011 started with one extremely complicated project, the PG Strike Freedom. With that troubling time still fresh in my memory I found Shining Gundam’s simplicity and ease of construction refreshing. Not only was it a fun build but it’s a fun to own. While there are a couple issues here and there it’s incredibly posable, a necessity for a kit built around hand to hand combat.

Otaku Revolution is run by myself, Falldog, and long term associate PenguinTruth. We've had a few other contributors over the years as well, including Juu-kuchi and singled_out. It's been mainly just a place for our various nerd musings since 2008. At some point I thought it would be nifty to have a full blown anime site, but tallent and ambition aren't always hand in hand.
OtakuRevolution.com was born from another site, OtakuRevolution.net, which was a web forum and sprite comic site dating back to the early 2000s. I was a member at that time, and somehow snagged the .com TLD when it popped up. The Otaku Revolution name lives on in remembrance of that simpler time.
