My brother gave me the HGUC Jagd Doga (my favorite suit from the SNES game SD Gundam X) I had never noticed that the funky face-guard was actually a bird face. The armor plates on the arms and legs can be removed to show a partial internal frame, which is molded in some pretty sleek looking plastic. Posing is limited due to the huge legs and shoulders, but who needs that when you've got so much swag already.  and this loving knife   Philthy posted:MG MS-06R-1A Zaku II v2.0   Progress on mine so far. I got it back in October and have only been working on it sporadically, but it is easily the most fun kit I've ever built. Tip for the tubes: use a fork or similar metal object to get between the bits and leverage them out of their ruts. I used the handles of a pair of forceps since the rounded edges didn't scratch the plastic.

For the rings on the Sinanju I wrapped tape around a kebab skewer until it was thick enough to hold them still so I could clean them up. Then I bought metal parts cos gently caress me.

poo poo I did not expect for Christmas: The January 2015 issue of Dengeki Hobby that comes with the 1/48 scale Build Burning head display stand. It's molded entirely in white, though. Gonna have to wait until money is better so I can paint it up all nice-like.

So, here's a Christmas gift I got for myself, courtesy of Amazon.com having it for 60% off:  Dino Getter 1, complete with my modified Getter Tomahawk. For 83 dollars shipped, it's a great figure.

So I started my MG Sazabi ver. Ka last night and holy poo poo, I think my old PG Zeta had less trees. What's more, the stickers go straight up to 150, so I'm going to be doing a fair amount of painting, I'm sure. I've already had to paint the grooves in the shoulder armor, plus the usual head pieces with the mono-eye and sensor. What's weird is that the psycoframe is a prop, there's actually no cockpit inside the figure. Structurally it makes sense, but it's still a weird decision.

Yeah I got one for myself for Christmas, I'm taking a break after finishing the waist/skirt parts. That large rear part had me very nervous because of how hollow it was, I didn't want to apply too much pressure. It's a big beautiful beast though I love it.

There is a cockpit, but it's separate from the main body. They had to free up space for a LED somehow.

Oh and I finished my Gouf Custom  I am genuinely surprised that the chaingun doesn't appear to add any weight issues. Now let's go hunt some Guntanks. Unpopular opinion time: I think Norris Packard is the better Gouf pilot than Ramba Ral.

I also built this kit pretty early on in my collection. The minigun does add weight but you can pose the legs or lift the gun slightly to compensate. I had it posed badly and on a high shelf, over a few days it sagged and fell down.

Anyone else have trouble getting the forearm armor onto the arms of the RG Wing Zero Custom? Bastards just won't slide up the arm frame all the way for me.

I got a RX-160S Byarlant Custom from a local shop, and it's awesome. Here's some cellphone pics of it:  I love it's awesome little claw hands. I might get some paint for it and my g-self and nu gundams (they're coming in the mail atm).

Kaiju Cage Match posted:Let me know how the HG Zeta is since I've been eyeballing a 1/144 scale Zeta for a while but I heard the RG sucks. It's SOLID. The joints will not move unless you put significant force into it. Which is a good thing if you wanna pose it. Except for one part. The gun. It's an old HG, so it doesn't have the slot to clip the gun into, and it's grip is REALLY loose. I'm just giving it the beam sword instead, because the gun won't even point straight. But the actual body itself is amazing. Solid joints, good balance, even with the huge backpack, colours are super vibrant. Not tried transforming it yet though.

Transforming it is easy since it's a partsformer. Biggest issue with HG Zeta are the proportions. Other then that, it's probably the most solid "modern" Zeta kit around since it's not a transforming kit.

 Figuring out how to best set up the Rynex transformation until I can grab the rest of ther parts I need. lead to a really funny looking thing. Really need to wash that bazooka at some point so I can paint it. I've had that for literally 16 years, it's looking really bad.

 So apparently this amazing thing came out 4 years ago for $40, bombed, and now can't be found for less than $180.

I am kind of surprised that the Capule hasn't seen any release at all since the NG one so long ago. Same with the Leo, though they finally relented with the RD a couple of years back.

Wing Gundam might be my new favourite HG. Just a really nice little kit, everything fits together perfectly, all the joints are great, really vivid colours. It'd be perfect as a first gunpla too, because it's fairly low parts count.

Speaking of that, I opened up my Zock kit just to take a look and it's probably not a good beginner's kit. It has six runners. Most of my other HG kits only have four. That thing has a lot of parts. I'll probably build it after I finish my MG Acguy.

Doesn't look that bad, lot of big pieces and internal frame. Plus the build instructions are only 3 pages. dalong.net I found is very useful for checking out manuals and runners ahead of time.
