Having proper time to enjoy it, is why my MGEX is still in it's box.

So earlier up thread people were having all kinds of problems with suugra-ya and my order just went through without any issue, it didn't even get picked up by my bank's fraud detection, which made me clear pbandai and basically every other far more legit seeming website individually  I will never understand the ways of this poo poo.

The colour scheme is entirely why I wanted it. It's got the same cool purple as The varguil kit, but in less of an overwhelming amount; plus the varguil is incredibly is hard to come by and, as far as I can tell (based on the clear colour variant at donkey), doesn't come with the cool psycho panels; and has yellow chest vents. The green detailing is very cool and I like it. I still want a varguil though. Also: I want a psycho gundam mk-IV kit, please make it bandai. I need more psycho gundams.

In the story the moon gundam is a varguil refitted with a psycho mk.iv head and the psycho plates in place of its funnels. So yeah varguil not coming with them is one of the main differences.

Nuebot posted:There are so many variants of the perfectibility I don't even understand them. I don't even understand what it is! A blue variant of the Unicorn from a Gundam Base (I think) short reimagining of the Neo Zeong fight from Unicorn. It also has the Banshee's arm-mounted weapons, to set it apart from the standard Unicorn Gundam, which is in my opinion the real draw. Basically "What if we took the Unicorn and Banshee, smashed them together, and made it blue instead of red/green/orange?"

To be more specific, it started as the Full Armor Unicorn Plan B in Gundam Try Age, before getting modified slightly (mainly the wing tails) and relabeled as the Perfectibility. Its just straight up a mashup of all three Unicorn types, taking the base Unicorn with a recolored v-fin and its beam javelins from the FA ver, adding the Banshee's Armed Armors (BS, VN, XC), and the psychoframe color and backpack mounted AADEs from the Phenex. And then there's the Divine which is basically just adding the booster backpack from the FAUC.

I do like the full armour unicorn and the banshee, maybe if I ever spot a perfectibility divine or whatever it's called I'll try to grab it before it sells out

oh god speaking of liquid chrome. I've got a bottle of Green Stuff World's chrome that is brush on. looks amazing. Except that even after a week it's not fully cured and can be rubbed back down to nothing. And putting any sort of protective coat on it fogs it up. whyyy.

I've heard electroplating is the way to go there but good luck if you don't have money. I have this rub-on chrome powder but the warning label makes me want to just throw it out.

A 24-pen pack of Sharpies can be surprisingly useful. The fine tips aren't as fin as a Gundam marker, but they're fine enough for panel lining or adding color to something.

lmao p-bandai The Perfect Strike Grand Slam sold out, went back in stock, and sold out again within an hour yesterday evening. Managed to snag that one but honestly all I am aiming for is that, and the Nadleeh. The mechanical clear Hyaku Shiki looked neat, but that one sold out pretty loving fast too. I guess we'll see what the last Tuesday Gundam Base drop will be like.

You can paint on primer like Vallejo surface primer. Get a cheap fine tip brush and paint it on, no airbrush required.

Thanks to a Suruga-ya free shipping weekend, I was able to get this, which came bundled with some copies of the Tamage-centric Game Center CX DVD. I didn't expect it to be a model kit when I ordered it. It even comes with an acrylic standee of Arino.   All those stickers were monotonous to put on.  There's some extra stickers. I might put some of the sprites on the sides.
