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.

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

While true, just imagine being able to just pop open a marker and prime a little area.

Vallejo also have a fancy pants mecha series primer which is supposed to be a little more hardy than their regular stuff.

I bought some myself! ...then never used it and then sold it!



Edit: Speaking of selling stuff, I'm trying to clear my shelves a bit so I put up some of my old PBandai plas on Yahoo auctions. For some godforsaken reason, someone used buyee to buy an unpainted HG for nearly 4 times its original boxed price. Good for me obviously but Jesus, Gunpla internet, what are you even doing? :psyduck:

Sometimes you'll just luck out and find a person who seems to really really want a kit and is willing to pay money to...not build it? I guess?

It turns out, lots of people ~want the thing~ but don't want to ~make the thing~. I know.. it's mind bending, isn't it?

based on the prices I've seen, that seems to be the reasoning of some secondhand sellers too, but building it is like half the fun! for like RG and up i can understand it but an hg is so achievable even with like nail clippers.

BUT good for them, different strokes, etc

Sucks that they're trapped in PBandai but they at least re-ran the pre-order for the Rose 3 or 4 times so hopefully everyone who wants one got one at price +PBandai Shipping Tax

At least I hope so I missed it yesterday because of the site maintenance period

Maxter's still up for me?

My efreet shipped today, so I can't wait for that to arrive! Real excited to finally have it. Still a bit wary of suruga-ya just because buying "used" items is always kind of leery to me, but no one in this thread seems to have had issues so hopefully I'm not the first.

My HLJ order arrived today... :shepface:



I got two of these. My dakka lust is insatiable. :orks:


Also got one of these 30MM Multi-Builder cases just to store bits and pieces in. It's certainly done wonders for containing my stray paint markers at least.


I saw the Metallic Paint marker Set 2 while browsing and noticed all the colours are the ones I need for El Dora V, so it's gonna look shiny.

It's not a Moderoid, but Flame Toys is putting out a Megzord kit soon.

Their Transformers kits are pretty decent, so I'm hoping this'll be good.

They're sold out most places, but Bandai did a Dragonzord and a Megazord in their Super Mini Pla toyline. Good stuff if you can track them down. All the gimmicks you want from a megazord, but with more articulation.

I built their Kiramager Megazord when that came out back a couple years back, and it's pretty impressive for a candy toy.

Weird question for people more familiar with p-bandai than myself: do they do anything special or noteworthy for the holidays/new year? Or is this that? This explosion of stuff - mostly gundam base limited reprints - is rad as hell even if I'm not interested in most of it.

satan's dick this has been like the most cursed build I've ever done so far and it makes me want to throw my airbrush, compressor and all my paints into the street. Its finally all painted up and assembled so hopefully it'll be smoother from here. I used up an entire jar of that terrible yellow getting that solid coat through painting and repainting so many times to get it all done and even now there's still some unevenness but I cant be bothered anymore.


I'll get some lining and decal work after ive recovered some energy to do it. He is a nice lil boy now he's all assembled tho.



edit:

aaaaaaa it can scratch its own thighs and hip and shoulder caps in some poses aaaaa goddammitt sob sob
