Lacquer based paints (or any stuff; Topcoat, primer, etc) is considered the strongest adherence against bare plastic, while enamel (believe it or not) is the weakest. Acrylic is kind of a middle ground and can become strong as long as you primer your kits first before painting. That's why the Lacquer topcoat didn't chip, a really good friend of mine who joins model kit competition told me that the best combination for paints would be: Lacquer based Primer, Lacquer base coat, acrylic paint for detailing and finally enamel panel lines. Hope this helps man! and we'd love to watch more painted kits and custom kits from you man!! :D

Mecha after using top coat a couple of times:

“Yea the Gunpla is great and all, but check out this sick top coat bro”

Every IBO review:
Everyone: Hey, I've seen this one!
Bandai: what do you mean?, This is new

[UMIF]

Iron Blooded Orphans has some of the best Mobile Suit design

I love how this Gundam have a ""Carpenter" theme.
I don't know about the story, but it seems like the loadouts are workshop tools retooled for weaponry.
But that's already a running theme to most of the IBO Gundam frame.

The thing that I love about IBO is, because I live somewhere rural, I can just throw them to the dirt and pose them. Done that many time with Barbatos.

Hajiroboshi, as space-y as it look, would probably be as natural when thrown to the dirt.

Marchosias: "Who are you?"
Hajiroboshi: "You with a better package and look"

[NeoSlashott]

TopCoat control is more important. Gloss on the lens, cameras and parts that shines as a luxurious sports car, while Matte and Flat for smoother surfaces.

Can't unsee this crabshield as Sandrock-claw plus Vidar-drillbit combo.

Marchosias: Who are you?
Hajiraboshi: I'm you but with better stability and tighter joints

I recently got back into building gundams, and I gotta say adding the flat topcoat is a game changer. I took the mg sazabi that’s been sitting atop my desk for years, cleaned it off, used some alcohol to clean up the old panel lines from when I was a teenager, touched up the panel lines and sprayed it with a flat topcoat coat. It looks and feels like a new model now.

13:25 Mecha shifted straight to 2012...

Day 6 of asking Mecha Gaikotsu to bring back the old annoying techno song

[franciscoanavarro_p]

I love what you've done with this kit! when this came out in Japan and the YouTuber there was reviewing it I didn't like it at first because they straight-built the kit and it look bad but doing a little work on the kit, make this look way better.

[selpyar]

I love them when they can store their weapons. Damn! This kit storing weapons is smooth.

[jahkam]

I'd prefer the times when the reviews showed the actual kit out of the box so I can determine whether to get the kit or not. But the lesson learnt from top coating was good. Maybe show how it looks like before all the panel lining and top coating (the original out of the box) and then how it would look like with a little extra effort? I would love that haha. Great and lively review nonetheless! :) One of my go to YouTubers for gundam kit reviews

[spookykake]

I love how the drill bit actually ejects out of the Crab Shield
