The kit is slowly moving along. Following the issues chronicled in my last update a lot of pieces have now been repainted and received new decals. Now I await some 60 degree days to give them a good top coat.
I do have some some other pieces finished though. Unfortunately there’s some silvering/air bubble issues on the shoulder armor. Oh well. Not much I can really do about it without delaying the whole project yet again to order more decals.
Episode 88, "The Decisive Battle! Cell vs Son Goku"
*****SPOILERS*****
Synopsis: Mr. Satan reels from being thrown from the ring, claiming to have been tripped. Goku steps into the ring and faces off with Cell. Goku attacks, and Cell evades, blocks, and counters. Gohan claims his father isn’t using his real power. Goku powers up, causing his allies to be astonished. Cell powers up as well. They begin the battle again. Cell claims that he’s enjoying himself. Then he splits into four, a technique of Tenshinhan’s. He also uses Makankosappo, Kienzan, and even Kamehameha. Goku uses Shikan Ido to avoid being hit. Cell’s speed frustrates Goku.
It’s been a while since I updated the progress on this kit.
I ran into issues last week during an unexpected temperature drop. I didn’t notice that the temperature had dropped ten degrees from the previous day to the high 40’s. That difference in temperature was just enough to ruin the dull coat on a dozen or more pieces that I had spend the previous weekend applying decals on.
An example below. The blotchy piece on the left was coated in the colder weather, the piece on the right the day before.
If you’ve ever been to 4chan, you know that they love tier charts. This is where they seperate things in categories of quality. Usually the top tier is "GOD TIER" and the lowest is "SHIT TIER", and I’ve done this myself, even here (my Gundam Tiers articles, for instance, which you can expect a follow up to sometime this or next year). However, unlike Anonymous at at 4chan, I’m actually capable and willing to explain and/or defend my choices as to what is truly "god" and what is "shit" in terms of the trival stuff I like.
