You couldn't touch it or all the armor would come flying off. If I get it out of storage I'm going to suck it up and glue the bastard together. I would pay... obscene amounts of money for a MG of that.

Even the other snobs on the GundamGuy comments are sick of him. Also, RG Destiny, worthwhile buy? My HG is really starting to piss me off with its idiocy.

Personally I'm not a fan of the proportions of the legs, but it's still miles better than both the NG and the MG design-wise. Wings of Light are a web-exclusive, but it includes an AB2 so that sort of works out.

Thanks, I was fine with the HG but the hands can't stay together to save their life and I'm trying to do a pose with the Arondight vs. Nu Gundam and the drat backs keep falling off.

It's a label for the optional piece that can fit into one of the unused plug holes as a sign.

No panel lining yet since I'm waiting for my gundam markers to arrive and I accidentally destroyed my micron pen. I did paint the yellow bits on the shoulder instead of using stickers but I'm not really happy with the result.  Imgur Album with bonus Zaku Amazing

I hope not, because the Xi is amazing. (And so is the Penelope for that matter. )Finally got my metal Sinanju decals, and drat these are pretty. I'm not sure if I'm gonna put them on before or after I apply the topcoat, I'll have to try one out to see if it looks like poo poo or not.

Yeah, Elyn's doing Deep Striker next. Seems they're doing 1/100 G-System kits. As for their quality, the Kshatriya doesn't compare to a MG quality-wise, and Elyn's QC wasn't all that great, but it was a good enough effort. Bandai's certainly never releasing MG Xi anytime soon anyways so they're all you got.

That's awesome, and if they did make Xi Gundam I'd be so tempted to get it, even at those prices. The Kshatriya looks pretty drat decent.

Oh my God, a 1/100 Deep Striker.  If there's anything I like as much as Advance of Zeta, it's Sentinel, because drat those suits are cool. The Ex-S, Zeta Plus C1, and Gundam Mk V are all great.I, too, would totally have to buy that, even if it ends up kinda shoddy.

Are there paints suitable for airbrushes that are a match for the Tamiya spray Italian Red and German Grey? I think the Tamiya X-7 Red matches the red, but I'm colour blind so I've no idea.

I think the Tamiya X-7 Red matches the red, but I'm colour blind so I've no idea. Tamiya makes a German Gray acrylic in little bottles that works fine in my brush. You can also just decant the spray can and feed it into your airbrush if you want to use the exact same color. I've never tried but many people do it: http://gamerabaenre.com/?page_id=1347

  That's an awful lot of decals, even by Katoki standards. Why even bother, too, since it'd just poo poo up and/or get lost in the glorious golden sheen of the kit. drat, those look really good. I love the colors on that left one.

Throw in the Unicorn's normal sticker sheet, and yeah. What I'm confused about is why they're still bright red. Red on white looked back enough on the Unicorn, but red on gold isn't much better

Hey, do any of you guys do anything special with the boxes and/or manuals? I always feel bad just tossing the boxes, especially if they have particularly good boxart.

You can fold up the boxes and set them aside, cut out the art and hang them up, or display the box right next to the model and store the accessories in it. I usually just toss my runners but I know a lot of people who save them for painting practice, use them as makeshift alligator clips, or construct things out of them.

If I did that, my wife would scream. I think I'll use them to move my current gunpla in a month and a half when we vacate this high-rise, and then maybe make some kind of wall collage out of them.

Is there a chance that they'll do a MG for the Custom versions of the Wing units? Because I just finished that MG Heavyarms ver Ka and it is a beauty. I would love a Custom to place with it. God drat you Build Fighters for getting me back into Gunpla. I might end up shelling out for that new MG Gundam X because it's pretty awesome looking.
