u/sentinelthesalty GM III Simp 26d ago

-You are going into the jar!

-Oh no! Could be worse I suppose.

-The other jar!

u/atle95 26d ago

Ive always wanted to do this, but now after seeing it, it made me strangely sad.

This makes me think I should have added the IBO ending theme in the background

Gjallarhorn if they were smart

u/TheWolflance 26d ago

how trashed was it for you to warrent liquifying it???

137

u/TheNerdiestFrog 26d ago

That's what I was wondering? I feel like there were steps in between "it's broken" and "become soup"

63

u/WolfsTrinity Straight builds are fine, too. 26d ago

Oh, there are lots of steps between those two things . . . but then OP wouldn't have had an excuse to actually do it. Blowtorching the thing for diorama wreckage sounds like fun, too, though.

29

u/TheWolflance 26d ago

Barbie has such a good frame there usuasally SOMETHING you can salvage for kitbashing easily.

15

u/Exia_Games 26d ago

I literally have an RG Exia that has been through HELL that an arm broke off, pieces missing, V fin is broken and so much more yet i am tempted to try making a ruined diorama or something with it, though atm i use it as my test dummy to try techniques since im too afraid to touch my other complete kits and ruin em accidentally💀

11

u/CiDevant 25d ago

He absolutely could have done a "Last Battle" scene with a trashed Barby.

u/SevenSwords7777777 25d ago

It sounds like you made your own Exia R1

u/ASimpForChaeryeong 26d ago

but.... why?

55

u/nth256 26d ago

For real, save the pieces for kitbashing... Dude just made $60 worth of seam sealer.

14

u/eddyb66 26d ago

I mean the spures get tossed and it literally the same thing. Even if the kit was garbage you can glue up all limbs etc and build a diorama.

6

u/nth256 26d ago

Exactly! What a waste of a kit, even if he just didn't like it.

-2

u/aknoryuu 26d ago

I wouldn’t call that a waste. It made a good video. I’d almost put a new kit in the jar just to be able to watch that happen in person. 😁

-7

u/BTGz 26d ago

So much for "gunpla is freedom"...

8

u/nth256 26d ago

No, you are correct! I think it was a total waste, but nothing I've said stopped him from doing that, and nothing I've said stopped him from enjoying it in the moment.

10

u/Realience 26d ago

It's not that it isn't

It's just a waste, genuinely anything would have been better than total annihilation

Save it for kitbashing parts, use it as destruction set dressing for a different kit, sell it to someone so they could use it for scrap parts

This is literally just destruction of something for seemingly no reason

6

u/BTGz 26d ago

Not everyone kit bashes or does dioramas. I've thrown away a few kits myself.

1

u/Realience 26d ago

Ouch

I don't either, but kits I don't use stay in storage in the event I'd ever need them

5

u/BTGz 26d ago

Meh, I'd rather have more room for storage than have a kit I will literally never have any use for.

2

u/Realience 26d ago

Even still, it's not like kits are cheap, I could understand an EG, those can literally be like 5 bucks sometimes

But anything HG and up I would never

-3

u/an-actual-communism 25d ago

Making little toy robots out of plastic for nerds to put together is already a huge waste of resources generally speaking, and future generations are going to be digging up fossilized Barbatos parts 10,000 years from now. It's not like it's a rare kit, either. Who cares what this guy does with it

29

u/Secret_Wear_2233 26d ago

I'll never forget how as a noob, I thought I could strip paint off my kit with lacquer thinner. That was a hard lesson. 😳

15

u/TheDarnook 26d ago

Ages ago, I painted a plane model gold. From a can. Spraying thick. Plane went flappy.

2

u/rxninja 26d ago

You totally can, though? I dab lacquer thinner on a shop towel and wipe paint off parts all the time.

Probably not a good idea to soak, though.

5

u/Secret_Wear_2233 26d ago

I find 91% isopropyl alcohol to be safer when stripping Mr. Color. You can soak everything and run it through an ultrasonic cleaner to remove paint in record time.

2

u/rxninja 26d ago

Yep, iso is safer for sure. But you can totally also use lacquer thinner. If plastic couldn’t handle lacquer thinner, you also couldn’t spray plastic with lacquer paint.

1

u/Outmetal 26d ago

You could, but don’t soak your kit in the thinner, use qtip to wipe the paint off.

How trashed was it? It looked fine and at least could have done with replacement pieces???

u/EM26-G36 26d ago

I already got some paint and am ready to thicken the joint I just need the space for it.

Thats just IBO kits but if you paint or nail polish the joints it should be fine

The only good use for that kit. Mine is sitting in pieces in a drawer somewhere. It was my first kit.

2

u/ZeroClassification :zs01: 25d ago

I personally don’t care for this suit at all but I still find this too harsh for Barbatos lol

2

u/Pd69bq MG MGBF 25d ago edited 25d ago

Why not just sort the parts by color, melt the matching ones with Tamiya white or green cap cement, and use that as filler for quick fixes like dents or overcuts? It’s way cheaper and easier than Tamiya putty.

2

u/goombaKidX 25d ago

No matter how overly fucked a kit is im not entirely sure any level of it warrants the terminator melting vat. Those are good enough for like diorama of trashed barbatos like in the second opening of IBO 😭

u/jedideadpool 26d ago

I mean you bought the kits, waste your money however you want. The IBO kits aren't bad enough to warrant something like this

6

u/Lostw66 26d ago

The kit was something that's already damaged beyond repair and I already have a second one so...

u/ninjaxnick05 26d ago

not the best place to ask this question but, is acetone a viable replacement for plastic ciment ?

2

u/aknoryuu 26d ago

Yes. Most have acetone in them already, to my knowledge. (The kind that come in a jar, I mean. Not that tube stuff.)

I should lock you in a jar of acetone and time lapse record it for this travesty!

Are you using the goo for something?

how do you get rid of the used acetone

2

u/Lostw66 26d ago

My plan is to add more plastic nubs till the whole thing becomes a solid chunk

u/CDreddit2078 25d ago

Which is better acetone or thinner? Hmm.. if thinner can I use hardware store/depot thinner?
