Do get the MG Dynames, Kyrios or Virtue, though. Those are quite good.

Does the Virtue have a secret Nadleeh inside it

You actually have to make an MG Nadleeh first and slap the armor on for Virtue.

Kyrios is great, so is Dynames. I still need to build virtue. While not the worst MG I've built, Exia has.. some issues. (Worst is still a red label MG GP-01) Waffleman_ posted:Does the Virtue have a secret Nadleeh inside it As noted, yes, you need to build it before virtue. Also, it seems a solo Nadleeh is being released as a solo Gunpla from one of the gundam bases.

Not gonna lie I'm kinda salty about those expansion parts being P Bandai but I don’t know what else I should have expected.

RG Hi-Nu is currently delivering on all fronts. This thing is DENSE. There's barely any negative space inside the legs and skirt, just layer upon layer of 1/144 scale individually molded parts. And somehow these tiny fiddly bits are not fiddly at all. I don't know what kind of dark arts went into the engineering behind this thing, but it's wild. I don't feel the need to paint it in general, but I'll probably disassemble the silver/copper accents and give them a metallic paint scheme. The metallic plastic looks subtly off in the best case, and worst case you get parts where the pigments didn't fully mix and you've got this wavy patina baked into the plastic. The only real downside to what has been a  kit so far. For the most part, they've used undergates cleverly to make nub cleanup a breeze. The ABS used for the frame is always a cakewalk to cut and sand because it's just softer, but even the hard plastic of the blue sections are segmented well enough that there's no real opportunities for stress marks to show up even if you botch the cut. They're only really a problem on, once again, the metallic parts.And the bloody articulation. Again it's some dark magic that they went "yeah we can join all these leg parts together so that the armor will slide into place as you move the legs. Sure, we can put some totally unnecessary panel articulation in." I swear stuff like this spoils me. This thing has no right to be so good just right out of the box.  I need to figure out what is messing with the fitment of the left skirt's metallic part. But yeah, I'm pretty sure if I chucked this thing at a window, the window would lose. Absolute brick of a kit so far.

Just built the RG wing zero EW for my office desk. I have built 2 HiRM's and a MG before this. This is the first time I've actually added the stickers and its amazing how much better it looks with them on. Thinking of going back and doing waterslides on the other 3.

Chest, head, and arms done. Also, it just clicked that this thing has some Leifield proportions. Tiny waist, absolutely stacked chest shoulders and legs.

I genuinely thought about that, but the problem is the other project I'd want the egg for is having another egg. No matter how many eggs I get, I'll still be short on egg hand. I might have no choice but to get the Seltsam Arms set and replace the whole arm

I stopped at the hobby shop hoping they would have a cheap kit I could get to replace the whole arm on my egg, but they actually had the 30MM add-on set with the big claw hand. So now my egg has a new hand.

So now my egg has a new hand. That actually fits it really well  .Of course, now you need a Cielnova so the rest of the armor set doesn't go to waste...  Dare you to put the horn in the armor set on the crotch port.

Sleggar's GM done! I probably only used half the decals, and I'm not 100% happy with what I did, but overall pretty satisfied.

Bit of a stretch to ask in this thread but does the Gundam Factory Yokohama offer entrance tickets at the counter or do you have to book them online first? Not the Gundam dock experience thing to get up and close to the granddad, just the facility entrance ticket.

  this one went together really smooth. both because i have better tools now, but also because Demi Barding seems much less finicky than Gundam Exio. Also the back mounted cannons rule.

Back cannons (never fired). Good job! I'm currently working on the Demi Trainer, I just had to get my 30mm Magical Girl Char off the pegs so I could use them again.
