Oh wow this is such a great example! That looks so good! Thank you for the tip 😊

I bought the Bandai “Entry Nipper” at the game store 😅 They’ve done the job, but something sharper would be nice! The aluminum foil trick is very good to know ✍

When cutting the sprue, should I cut as close to the piece as possible, or leave a bit of a nub and use a razor blade to remove it?

Looks like if it bit you, you’d turn into Spider-man 😂 Love the coloring!

Update: There is a game store with a plethora of gunpla within bicycling difference. Oh no 🥲

But time to have first gunpla party 🎉

I knew this was going to be a “Preston Bait” post, but I didn’t know starting with The Origin would make it even more so. 😈

Tell them to bring their friends 💃

Alright, you convinced me. I’m in 🏃

What was your first model? I’m considering a high-grade Gun Tank model!

Well said Preston! I am here too to help out how I can. I would also like to tag onto this and reiterate what @king_dead@beehaw.org said so well: A lot of online negative discourse surrounding Star Trek is based on the franchises choice to be inclusive and diverse. Any homophobia, racism, sexism, etc will result in your comment being removed (as this is the Possum Patio’s general standard).

There is infinite diversity in infinite combinations in this universe. We choose to celebrate diversity instead of shy away from it, and hope that any discourse follows this guideline.

Everything is a lot of Star Trek! (but you should really watch everything eventually) I recommend tackling it one series at a time, and it will go by faster than you’d think,

My wife and I started with Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and I think it is a great place to start!

After that you could watch Star Trek: Voyager (VOY) or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9). DS9 being one of my favorite pieces of media ever. I love it so much. 🥲

Or if you want something more modern you can start with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (SNW). The second season airs in a few weeks, and I hope it’s just as amazing as the first season!
