MG ka Saz progress. All "red" bits are painted, just the dark red to decal and varnish up. It's really loving shiny. Usually that's a problem, but it's what I'm going for this time around.

I agree that the Lupus (with that great eye-bleed effect from the LEDs somehow) and the God Gundam would be rad, but I'd also put the Turn A on the list. Light up Moonlight Butterfly, full internal missile bay/cow transport, swappable cockpit... yeah. Outside of main suits and into the realm of never-gonna-happen, the Kapool would be amazing.

Although if they did Man Rodi, that would start a long cycle of PG Rodi variants(Hakuri, Labrys, Landman, Spinner). Rodi could become the new Astray with dozens of equipment options, rainbows of colors. Just think of all the engineering and innovation going into bringing that chunky boi to life. Remember that RG Astray demo where the frame perfectly mimicked human movement. Well this time the human is someone from my 600 pound life. Every teaser silhouette would be impossible not to guess right.

PG Sazabi would sell like hotcakes. It's pretty much the best looking kit out there.

My December P-Bandai order got delayed half a month because of a free fanclub pin badge offer, but it's finally here. The Assault Buster box is particularly nice. It's printed on all sides like a retail box except they didn't put it to retail because..... ??????

I was in Hearn's Hobbies in the Melbourne CBD today and they have a few P-Bandai kits. Insane markup though. Much cheaper to use Gentei Kits or similar even with shipping factored in.

Hearn's pricing isn't too brutal for regular Gundam kits at least, and their selection has gotten surprisingly good in the past few years.

Frontline Hobbies in Newcastle, NSW has a big range but their website is terrible. They're also pretty expensive. They get p-Bandai stuff too.

Monaghan posted:I'm not getting my assault buster expansion pack until February, though of course it'll go right to my backlog. You'll have to give your thoughts when you finish building it. Looking inside the box though, for the full box version, there's a giant combined sheet of waterslide decals as well as a combined sheet of stickers. The instruction manual is an all new printing with full color covers, decal guide and centre fold which also features a fully translated interview with Katoki himself. Also, while the exp. parts match the original Ver. Ka, the full box has a new color scheme. Red and blue are now a little darker and richer, frame grey is now almost black, all yellow parts are matte gold plated and the white has become a very light blue grey.

The Quibly Damned is baller looking as hell in person and the box is pretty funny but this ancient Quibly elbow joint can eat all the dicks. My right arm can barely support the horror hands as long as you never touch it again.

Looking at your build got me to stop being lazy and actually panel line my kit. Looks so much better now. My RG Tallgeese arrived on Thursday and I'm fighting the urge to start on it since I found a site to buy some single-bladed nippers from and I'm waiting for those to arrive. Maybe I'll finally do that Build Gundam Mk II that I brought a few weeks back to keep my hands busy. Once those are done I think I'm going to have to hold off on buying anymore kits until I move in March, don't know where I'm going to end up or how much space I'll have for all this poo poo. Might even have a ventilated space for some painting. Although I did end up watching some of the original Gundam anime recently and now I kinda' want to build a Zaku.

The RG Zaku II is still a great kit, so if you want a Zaku, I recommend that.

So I'm taking a break to have dinner while building the HGBF Build Gundam MKII and I didn't realise they recycled kits that are more than a decade old for this series. The original runners are dated 2002 with the new ones being 2013. I guess this lets me see how HG kits have evolved, because the articulation on this thing is crap compared to the other kits I've made.

Like the Tristan is I think the worst example of this, but most of the build fighters/divers line is a mashup of old kits with knew parts.
