I used a black panel liner on a white piece by accident rather than a grey one, what's the best way to get it off? Soap and water?

Alcohol and a q tip. If you need to get in a groove, the pointy fingernail q tips are good or you can tear off a small piece of paper towel and roll it up into a small swab, though you'll have to swap it out often.

Speaking of the RG Zeong, anyone know if the normal non-Last Shooting version comes with a base or not? Press releases don't mention one but a couple of sites have one as included.

Seems unusually cruel to sell a Zeong without some kind of stand in the modern age. Even the Moon Gundam came with a stand

It comes with little stand legs like a fighter jet from looking at the renders, so I assumed those would be what they would give if they didn't give a base.

The official Bandai Hobby page lists "display base" in the accessories, so it comes with something at least.

Edit: I assume it's the action base in the promotional shots because they're not marked with "action base sold separately".

Cool, cool.

Actually I don't know why I'm even asking this far ahead because I'm going to be picking up mine in a physical store and I can just get a base there if it doesn't come with one.

I'm hoping a 40th anniversary grunt zaku II gets released, I want a good classic HG zaku but the The Origin version doesn't come with the right kind of machine gun.

The Origin C5 version has the circular drum machine gun, if that's what you're looking for. It's just the Origins C6 that lacks it.

Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

It's complete! (Aside from maybe a bit of re-coding on the Arduino to clean up the i-field cycle)

Once I clear the absolute CHAOS the build has left in it's wake, I'll set up my backdrop and do some proper photos and video. I first need to clear this mountain of runners, plastic bags, sandpaper (oh god, the sanding I had to do on this beast. It's age really did show in it's seam lines), bits of wire, etc etc.

It's from a manga promoting the Gundam Extreme Versus series of games, and got put into the game later down the road in a sort of recursion of self-promotion, basically. There's a few different variants of it since the concept of the manga is a guy going through databases that contain simulations of all the various gundam timelines, basically, and the Extreme Gundam evolves to suit each timeline. So he has the Wing's Double Buster Rifle and such.

...Where did you get it from, and was it expensive?

edit: Oh no, I went for a wander and fell down into a Japanese eBay seller with rare kits, high rep, and not-entirely-horrifying shipping fees to Australia. Got myself a mold machine kit (their last one in stock!) for $20AUD and "just" $40AUD express shipping :shepspends:. Vs $70AUD for standard shipping.

£10 from Gundammad.co.uk in the UK, but it was the last one they had in =(

It's worth checking their website frequently, because the owner (an IRL friend of mine) get a lot of hard-to-find stuff in, and because of the way he runs the business at events, he has a huge network of temp staff who go to Japan and bring back rarities. His P-Bandai stock is usually amazing.

Oh no, this seller had the Iron Blood Coating Barbatos Lupus for $60AUD too. My money, nooo! :stonklol:. If any other Aussies want an eBay seller to peruse, Gundam Culture Japan has a lot of cool rare kits that are nearly-sanely priced.

I'm in Australia so that's not much use to me as they only ship to the UK, but I hope it helps someone here make bad decisions with disposable income.

It's been around for a while, but outside of Japan it was a sod to get your hands on. Originally it was a Tokyo Gundam store exclusive.

I have the Iron Blood Coating version of the Barbatos Lupus, I meant to say they had the Barbatos Lupus Rex, which is what I ordered from them along with the mold machine. They also have the transparent versions, but they don't look as gorgeous as the Iron Blood versions.

At Supanova Melbourne last month I picked up the Iron-Blood Coating Barbatos Lupus, and finally got around to finishing it.





This thing is gorgeous. It doesn't really show up well in the pictures, but the two-tone bronze-and-silver part separation actually does look really good in person.

It cannot be understated just how gorgeous the Iron Blood Coating Barbatos Gundams are.

The key word on that one might be that they had the Iron Blood Coating version of the Barbatos Lupus Rex...

(I suspect they'll probably get more the next time a run of them occurs, given their amazing range of stock)
