The stickers underneath the clear blue sections of the G-self have been my exception to the no sticker rule. I figure the panels are going to protect them from damage, so go hog wild.

Nah, I hosed up putting these on since my tweezers are bent as hell. Painting works better for me, I think. Just gotta let it dry.

The only ones that might stand a chance:
Unicorn variants (because duh)
Sinanju (Unicorn hypetrain and popular)
Nu Gundam (Iconic MS)
GM (I doubt they will ever want to 2.0 a PG 78-2 and this is a solid choice)

After that it gets even more shaky IMO. Either something from SEED/D (Very popular), Exia/00Q (reusable frame) or the gundams without a lot of high engineering gimmicks (Ground Gundam, God Gundam, AGE1, etc) and ofcourse should the shows be popular enough <currently airing show here>

I'm still surprised they haven't done PG Freedom yet.

So since I acquested to the thread's whims and got a MG Gundam X, and it was a rad as hell build, what would you guys recommend in the way of non-Gundam MGs?

I particularly like bulky suits (if I had the cash, I would totally get MG The O)

I honestly wouldn't have even considered the Ball, I would have assumed it's like, a 5 minute build. Is it seriously that fun?

The Jesta is tempting me, because I like me some tacticool MSes.

It's closer to 90 minutes if you're slapdash like this guy. I'd still recommend it since it's like 30 bucks tops and it's the goddamn Ball. Ball is the best.

Tallgeese has always looked cool in the shows to me. Also, they make MG Acguy, Z'Gok, and Gogg kits. Also, Quebley!

note: I have never built any of these, except for the Acguy (which I still have two legs left to assemble)

One's I've built
gn-x good build, though fins are loose
Gelgoog 2.0- good solid build
Geara Doga- good but the cables are a pain in the rear end
Tallgeese- fine, but you'll have to paint it if you want the traditional color scheme
Dom- old but still pretty okay.

Droopy Only

So this arrived today. wanted to see if the Volks offering was any better than the kotobukiya kit. looking at the runners and instructions, it's got a few parts that have simpler joints, so hopefully that translates to not having to cement-meld every tiny thing in place.

One thing is bothering me though:


What do I do with this? is this a wet decal or something different? I've never had to work with wet decals except on the other Fei Yen kit, and I ended up ruining those and having to paint that kit manually. can't exactly afford to make that mistake with this though, so figure I should ask.

The sheet is blue so those are waterslide decals yes, also as with most volks/hasegawa kits you have to do those mandatorily bc they dont hold your hand like koto/bandai

What's the deal with the MG Turn A arms? I've looked it over several times and I can't see how I've built them anything but correctly, but the elbow joint pops off at the slightest provocation, and doesn't ever slide fully into the slot it's meant for. Also, the bicep armor just kind of jiggles around on the bicep, it doesn't actually click on to anything.

Thanks, I figured it might be that but I don't really like to take the "try and force it" approach unless I know it works. It always wigs me out how often "just fuckin cram it in there" is the solution when it comes to hundreds-of-dollars PC components.

I think Frame Arms are reasonably successful on their own. I may be interested if they do Baselard and Zefikarl or whatever the version that had a giant sword/railgun.

Attach it to a dimmer switch, so you can have a Gundam that emits mood lighting.


Anyway, I've finally cracked and I'm trying to hunt down an afforable MG The O. It's not going well :smith:

I fell in love with the transient's gundams spear so I'll be picking up the spear set at least. Probably the gundam itself, because the design is pretty cool.

Why is the SD being considered an SDBC instead of a SDBF? The HG is definitely the transient, but a full price suit without any weapon would be weird.

e-Oh it would be like the shiki's rider thing.
