Trying to support local business, found a shop here that doesn't fully rip you off sideways. Given that these kits are within 10-15 bux from eachother, and assuming I want all 3 for various reasons. Which kit to support it should I get first, second and third. MG Full Armor Unicorn - Reason: It's dope, and It's like buying a Gunpla with enough parts to fully arm like 5 other suits. MG 00Qan[T] Full Saber - Reason: I loving love the Quanta and the difference between the normal and full saber is like 10 bux so why not. If I ever get into painting/modding I kinda wanna make a double wing/shoulder-shield 00Q and a shoulder-shieldless one just wielding the GN Sword 5 Mg Jesta Cannon (Apparently a legit one, not one of those models that is (partially) bootleg) - Reason: It's like Warmachine is an MS, and it's a P-Bandai release so could be a good snipe. Also likely picking up an MG Age1. Zedd fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Apr 30, 2020 |

The Jesta's P-Bandai, so it's harder to get, and it's the best base kit. Definitely make it the priority.

Having built the base versions of all 3 of those I'd go Jesta, Qant, Unicorn FA.

I gotta say, the Full Saber kinda sucks. The sword is so wide it's almost impossible to pose the thing holding it

I’ve noticed with some colored plastic it has like a finish on it and sanding/cutting can remove it and leave the piece looking weird. I’m about to do the gold Thousand Sunny and really don’t want that to happen. Any tips?

I’m about to do the gold Thousand Sunny and really don’t want that to happen. Any tips? On special finish kits like that, there's not really a way to completely avoid it. Just try to minimize the cutting marks as much as possible. Cut the pieces off the sprue a little bit away from the piece itself. The do a second cut right flush with the piece to get the little bit of sprue off. That reduces stress on the piece when you cut it so there's less discoloration, and makes it easier to get a close clean cut. A brand new pair of sharp nippers can't hurt, especially if your current pair has built a few kits already. If you have a gold marker that's the same shade, you might be able to minimize the appearance of the marks with that. But first test it out on a part you won't be able to see when the kit is finished.

Maybe even being very light and careful with a yellow one could help too. Thanks!

Unless they undergated the coated parts (NG Akatsuki a couple of others I don't remember off the top of my head have done this) special coating kits always look like rear end due to the nub marks and there's not a whole lot you can do about it besides try to touch it up with a marker or paint pen.

Been fiddling with some of the kits, and I get what they were going for with the Heavyarms Ver. EW belt-fed chaingun, I do, I get they wanted to make it have a flexible belt feed from drum to gun, but this thing is maybe the worst designed model kit piece I've ever seen. I've glued the ends of it in place multiple times and every time they break off with the greatest of ease if put under even the slightest stress. Not having any way for the ends of the inner flexible wiring to properly "click" into the end pieces just leads to it popping out and all the belt feed bits flying off into who knows where. It's the worst, because outside of that and not having a specifically molded hand to hold the gun itself, the kit is fantastic. It's such a drat shame they flubbed that part.

Has anyone worked with photoetch parts before? I picked up some for the MG Barbatos, should I put these on before or after the top coat? I've hand painted some details on the innerframe and put on some waterslides and I'm about to put on some gloss to seal it in before doing the panel lining. Should I glue on the metal stuff on new or after the final topcoat?

Traditionally speaking, photoetch parts go on in the prep stage and get painted over. I would glue them on before the topcoat though, it's very difficult to get enough glue on to secure them firmly without overrun so you may need to do some cleanup.

Is this the same one that says it’s up for preorder everywhere? Is it just a new printing of the one release years ago? Bandai #01 RX-78-2 Gundam 1/144, Real Grade https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003KX5OXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.EXSEb5FYSVRZ The one up for preorder: https://www.usagundamstore.com/prod...yxoC6dsQAvD_BwE What I’m saying is should I buy this or is there a better RG RX-78-2 Edit: NVM they look different. I want to order it but I’m wary of ordering from USA Gundam right now because I still haven’t received my EVA Unit 01 Unmature fucked around with this message at 21:07 on May 6, 2020 |

Don’t hold the RG Eva against them, it’s a global shortage similar to the PG Unicorn at its release. I’m still waiting on mine from HLJ on a preorder from last fall.

Looks like you're comparing an older RG with the upcoming HG Origin RX-78-2 Edit: there's only the one RG version, as far as I know. I haven't built it, but those early RGs don't have the best reputation (excepting the MKII, which I've heard is solid) Napoleon Nelson fucked around with this message at 21:48 on May 6, 2020 |

I put off building the RG Sinanju for so long as people kept on saying it was fragile and a hand grenade. I built it last year and had no problems with it whatsoever. I guess you just have to be gentle with the things and if something doesn't go in easy don't try and force it.

I didn't have a problem building the RG Sinanju (it was actually my first RG, and one of my first models period), I just had a lot of trouble posing it because the accessories don't want to stay on and the frame isn't strong enough to hold everything up.

Finished snapping together the RG Sazabi a few minutes ago. For some reason I had a really hard time following the instructions for some reason. I'm not quite sure why but it seemed like a lot of the illustrations weren't great or very accurate or maybe just were too small to have enough detail to pick out stuff like "oh this peg and this hole go together." Can't wait to get it detailed up and posed and on a stand and waiting for the RG Nu Gundam that's going to live right next to it.

Since I have so much time on my hands lately I decided to dust off my old Lupus Rex ,that was in my spare parts bin, and kitbash it with the MG Barbatos. So far so good. Only real issue was some super glue leaking on one of the ankle joints so now it's stuck. I'm missing a bunch of parts so I'm gonna have to figure out what to use to replace them. Before that I kitbashed an old 6th form, just haven't gotten around to finishing it.

The Kampfer is 17.7m tall where the Stein is like 22.6m so the size difference is a little exaggerated. To show the difference another way, the 1/100 MG f91 2.0 is half a cm shorter than the 1/144 RG Sazabi. Puddin fucked around with this message at 06:41 on May 7, 2020 |
