Just get some spray primer, some hobby clips, and whatever colors you want in rattle cans or maybe even hand paint in Vallejo Mecha. Gunpla is freedom, goddamnit.

It has the standard copyright marks in the bottom left which mean its one of Bandai's fully painted promotional shots. Unfortunately the actual gun is all grey plastic.

Dunno how we feel about Mecha Gaikotsu around here, but he did a review of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJbcZv5p6oA Seems it's not too great in some areas, and pretty good in others. Kinda reminds me of back in the old days when 1/100s were graded HG. Seems it's about as big as the sazabi.

I'm about to get my HLJ private warehouse shipped with it, just trying to think if there's anything else I want. Has anyone done any Cross Silhouette figures? Might get the GaoGaiGar, looks pretty neat.

It's more like a simple little HG than a traditional SD. Very good color separation and posability. Would recommend.

BizarroAzrael posted:I'm about to get my HLJ private warehouse shipped with it, just trying to think if there's anything else I want. I've built a bunch of them. They're much better than previous SDs, but some of the joints detach a bit easier than I'd like. Still, good colors, good articulation if you have the bigger frame installed, and a decent amount of neat little gimmicks. And they're mostly cheap enough you can afford to just try one out with no hassle.

A Char’s Zaku 2/OG Gundam 2-pack of SD Cross Silhouettes just came out, I grabbed it since it’s real cheap for a pair of kits.

There’s a couple of words he says nonstop but w/e, he explains his reasoning well and the rating system is a decent barometer of whether I’d like a kit or not. I also enjoy how he has a ton of enthusiasm but also casts shade constantly.

Only problem I have with it is the crotch armour has a really, really weak bit of plastic to hold it onto the frame, and it's easy to snap. Not a reflection of the CS frame quality though.

Getting the GGG, no CS frames in though so can't upgrade it, which I'll definitely want to do.

There are some really huge sections especially in the wings if your'e talking about getting a good finish.

That looks great! I've had trouble with white stress marks on non-white pieces, and while better tools have helped, I still have to spend a lot of time sandpapering them down.

 Mine is more standard, I quite like him. Please ignore the dust. Didn't seem like a particularly troublesome build to me, though it was a while ago. I also never bother with sanding so I can't comment on that.

I found the color and hardness of the plastic to be annoying on it when it came to stress marks. It will definitely take a bit more cleanup time than something that's white. I think the dark blue was more annoying but it was a year or so ago I built it.

Got an F90 Gundam MG (the P-Bandai one) on a whim from a local store. Kind of wonder if I spent more than I should have ($100). EDIT: Deleting that last part. Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jul 12, 2020 |

I am currently building mine, and I think that the dark red handles stress marks slightly better than most blues. Also, it seems that all in all the runners are designed pretty well and many of the potential stress points are out of sight on the finished model.

So, I just assembled the main body of my MG Dynames, and it is a great looking, fun build that quite frankly makes me also want the Kyrios (Which is funny, since I only watched the first episode of Gundam 00, and I wasn't a fan of how the Dynames looked in screenshots but I was ultimately won over while building it). However, I am having an issue. Now, I haven't started on the weapons or the floating bunkers, but, well, I am having trouble getting the bot to stand. Currently, the robot is very back heavy, on the rear rockets. I hope the shields and weapon would provide a counterweight, but any tips on how to get the robot to stand?

I always try to pose back heavy kits with a slight turn of the hip section so that you can get one leg a tad further back to shift the centre of gravity.

I preordered the F90 on gundamplanet because they said June release and I’m still looking forward to it! Though honestly so long as it gets here before the rocket derp pack, I’ll be happy.

They require painting if that's something that concerns you, I know I'm not ready for that type of investment yet.
