My boyfriend just got into gunpla. Now he's carving and painting panel gaps on all the furniture. How do I tell him it looks like shit without hurting his feelings?

    Get him a super complicated model kit, he’ll stare at it and be scared to start.

        My ds9 kit is doing the same. I’m speaking from experience.

          When I bought it as my first MG kit, I was like “oh I can get a MG scale ZZ and 100 Shiki next” clueless

      This, but with a kit from Five Star Stories instead of Gundam. Biggest you can manage to find!

        I started with this ds9 which luckily had a tiny USS Defiant and Cardassian cruiser packed in aa well so I built those for practice. Then found out the ds9 model is clear plastic so you can run led strips through it and all this other stuff which would make my initial project seem like crap and I’d known it whe ever I looked at it. However, I am SO HOOKED on models now and figured I’d do other stuff for practice and now I’m working on some Nascar sets cause my parents are big fans an it’ll be a cool gift for them and good practice for me

          I haven’t seen you mention the word “airbrush” so I don’t think the patient is beyond saving.

        You can always back out of the commitment by having nebulously defined angry psychic space sex(?) with him before impact. By the time you hit atmosphere the asteroid should disappear.

          Make sure to express your deeply-rooted mommy issues while doing so. Very important step.

            Yes, important step. And make sure you project these feelings onto your shared underage Indian girlfriend.

      Do you know how much clean up that will require afterwards?

        It’ll help the Earth clean itself up in time. Don’t think too hard about it.

    I’m so sorry, but it’s already too late vegeta-pain

    All you can do now is make him comfortable and buy a better panel liner, I recommend Tamiya Accent Color (Black)

    Say you don’t vibe with the artistic direction, and that you just feel less at home and would appreciate if you kept the furniture like it was before
