Dalong.net has galleries for all the wide release ones. If you can't use a wiki, it should suffice.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, what's the latest formulation of Future floor polish? I've got a bottle still labeled as "Pledge with Future" that will last me until all the chemicals degrade, or the sun burns out, cause I just use little toothpick dabs of it to stiffen up Transformer joints, so i'm good, but it'd be nice to know other people can still get it.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.


Hoping the Double X winds up being good.

Satellite panels are stickers, right? Is there texture under them if I wanted to try painting?

Yes, the same kind of pebbly grid that the X had. Look at the photos near the bottom of the page: http://www.dalong.net/reviews/hg/h163/h163_i.htm

Yeah, the actual panels are textured with little dots. I haven't tried yet but I imagine some gold paint on them would look fine.

Gold paint + wash would look good.

Still waiting for the Unit 01 with the transport platform kit to be available, so I got myself a 02 and mostly didn't mangle it.

Ordered the Beyond Global RX-78-2 since it's my birthday next week.

The RG Evas look sooo good, I've got 00 and 01 but I'll have to pick up the rest some time. (By the way you've got a tab left over there on the top of the pallet rifle)

Looks like you could build this from kits already on shelves.

When they're coming up with customs built by high schoolers for the Build anime it's full of complex conversions and scratch built parts. For Build Real they are being a bit more pragmatic. A Gundam that has been fully painted, a Zaku with the shoulder of a Tallgeese, and a Unicorn mix-n-match.

I didn't care much for the design of the Unicorn, but then I brought the MGEX like an idiot and now it's grown on me. Though maybe that's my brain trying to justify a dumb purchase.

On the up side, I brought the best Unicorn so it's not like I'll be getting another any time soon.

Maybe the RG though.

The MGEX Unicorn fuckin rips, and easily makes up for Bandai's sins with the previous MG Unicorns. I also hope they stop making them because there are enough fuckin' Unicorns now. The RG is also good, I guess, but the MGEX is way sturdier and comes with insane amounts of accessories.

I usually use the Gundam Wiki, but if that doesn't work, https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/678/0/1 seem to be in order, or there's http://dalong.net/.

EDIT: I missed that there were entire pages of thread between this question and now, oops.

Why though, when real actual custom builders have made far cooler things? :nallears:.

There was a P-Bandai set that had both but I don't think it's seen a reprint in a long time so your best bet is to just buy the relevant kits and live with having an extra Mk-II or 2. That said, while the Flying Armor is still basically good, the G-Defender is pretty awful looking compared to modern stuff. I got the aforementioned P-Bandai set (through auctions) and while I had the Flying Armor set up on the shelf until it started taking up too much space, the G-Defender went straight in the spare parts drawer.

Because one of the things they're doing is releasing instructions for kits from the show online, so that it's an easy enough build for viewers without too much experience. Showing something that requires extensive modification in that spot might intimidate rookies, while veterans who can do it probably have their own ideas they'd prefer to work on.

Also, episode 1 is out.

No subs, so if your Japanese isn't much better than mine, you're going to be out of luck, but cheap CG transcends the language barrier.

I always like the build series where they used modified versions of the kits, instead of basically inventing a whole new mecha out of thin air, so I'm glad they are going the more pragmatic route.

Also resin detail up kits are really neat and I'll probablly buy more of them. The detail really improves the sinanju stein.
