"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
That's a fine lookin' OP.

Can someone confirm for me that the small Revoltech joints, the ones used for wrists, are 6mm? Might be ordering some to replace the wrist on my Alucard. Only problem is they don't seem to sell packets of the white ones that I need for some reason. Alternatively I could get Ed Elrick and take the spare white wrist from him by using his Automail arm.

At this point wouldn't it just be easier to paint a different one white?

Also, just wanting to say I love the new OP. You did a really nice job on it.

I meant I might get Ed anyway. The smallest ones are 6mm then?

I don't know how well paint will take to the plastic, nor if it won't gum up the joint.

That's because the Ver. Ka has a different glow than the animation version. They only sold the Ver. Ka as an online exclusive.

Here's a link to what it looks like in comparison with the regular kit.

poo poo, what will it take to get an OVA version with the green frame? I like the OVA weapons but that just looks so much nicer against the armour.

SEED HD airing in japan made it logical for them to pick the justice.
Seeing how the regular justice hasn't got a MG yet and the 1/100 looks like poo poo I think the RG is pretty cool if you like the suit.
It beats another strike freedom (though that one is coming sometime for sure).

Infinite Justice as well, they probably would have done Aegis if the frame didn't make the transformation inpractical.

Just sprayed the frames of my HGUC Gouf Custom, going to do it in the White Rose colours from the Gihren Assassination manga (that mangaka really likes doing Zeon suits in Gundam colours)

Sprayed white over grey Tamiya basecoat, so there's already a bit of lining marked out. Better than the two coats the white spray can says to do.

I lke the scheme but you should get some putty and get rid of the seam line on the shoulder. And maybe trim down the flash on the waist pipe.

Yeah, I thought touching up the paint would cover the seam. Tamiya doesn't seem to like being applied with a brush, or being watered down, very odd.

The Rozen combo tickled me. Are those the colours of the Rozen Zulu kit though? I expected something much more violet, the torso looks like a stock Geara Zulu olive.

Much appreciation for the added wrist articulation, you'll get much better poses. Plus you can evidently get the arms crossed. Might involve removing the hand though, hard to see.

Realized it's been something like a year since I built a kit. Before I place an order with HLJ, can anyone recommend somewhere to get kits in the UK? Maybe another store has sprung up since last time.

Want to get HGUC Gerbera Tetra now I know it exists from Build Fighters, Delta Gundam Kai looks like fun too. Might wait for Sengoku Astray, but I think there are a few more kits to wait for as well. Hopefully we'll get the 1/144 HG Turn X seen in the background of Build Fighters.

Edit: and how's the Byarlant?

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Am considering doing some kind of Gundam kitbash, could someone explain the All Gundam scheme to me, I've read about it in fragments so am not clear. Are the "universal" backpacks such as those used by Build Strike and Zaku Amazing interchangeable with the packs on stuff like the Wing and XX that have just come out under All Gundam?

And since part of the idea behind it is supposed to be part-switching between kits, are they fudging scale a bit so F91 Gundam(15M) parts can be put on XX Gundam (17m) and so on? Pretty sure OYW and 00 suits average closer to 20m too, with Nu Gundam being something like 22m.

Will all have to wait until morning, nothing I want seems to be in stock at HLJ, looks like I can still get them at discount if I wait.

Think I want another go at Reborns, and a Stark Jegen seems cool. Thought about 00 Seven Swords but I have the 00 Raiser already, would just be for accessories.

Not sure I want to get an MG after so long, not sure what I would go for. It's 2.30am and I probably shouldn't consider spending so much until I sleep.

Edit: are there any good third party accessories compatible with Gundam kits, pretty sure I've seen them. Think I'd like to see what I can do to replace/modify the Reborns Cannon weapons in particular.

Oooh yeah, that 0-Raiser backpack wouldn't be anything but quite a bit of dead weight. The 00-Raiser's always seemed like a bad design to me anyway. The 00 itself is pretty good, but then they just keep adding kibble onto those shoulders to the point it gets absurd.

I think it would work better if the GN Drives were fitted to the shoulder, instead of on brackets (man do they lobe brackets) Part of why I love Reborns' GN elbows.
