TaurusOxford posted:I think it's supposed to be a variation on Deep Striker Ex-S Gundam, but the size of it suggests it's bigger than a 1/100 scale. PG Deep Striker maybe? If so, holy gently caress that's gonna be a price tag with 3 zeros after it. Actually it says it's 1/100 scale, in the triangle bit above the name.

Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Anyone got the HGUC Zssa? Looking at the Dalong review and it's a bit of a brick as you would expect, it has some neat details like hydraulic pistons that slide out when you open the leg missile compartments. But it also has quite a lot of stickers including the missile heads on the arms, the black bits around the wrists, some of the dark green on the chest, the light green bits on the backpack including a lot of curved surfaces and all of the red bits at the joints. It does look pretty stable in spite of that huge backpack. Also, the large missile compartments are just empty on the inside when tilted up so they look awful in that position, but I expect you would have them facing forward 99% of the time so it's not much of an issue.

chumbler posted:I resisted as long as I could, but Build Fighters has claimed final victory over me. I just ordered a few kits and some basic tools, and my journey down the dark path of plastic crack has begun. How many more souls must you claim before you are satisfied, Bandai and Sunrise? You should get the Gouf R35 too, it's a new mold so the kit is really nicely engineered and fun to build. Plus just look at this cover art:  That awesome pose, that menacing eye! Every time I look I can hear the twong! sound of it looking at me.

Literally The Worst posted:People with a little more HLJ experience than me: Is there a way to tell the difference between "backordered" and "we will never get this back in, go find it somewhere else"? Those get classified as discontinued. Back ordered literally means that they have a standing order with the manufacturer or distributor and they are waiting for it to be fulfilled.

Frankenstein Dad posted:I'm thinking about building something, after a hiatus of 10~ years. Can anyone give any advice about the following kits? They're all 1/100 MG. You should get the X, its got really great engineering and will look amazing with just cleaning up the nubs and panel lining, let alone topcoat.

LeadSled posted:So, Build Fighters is working exactly as Bandai wishes, and just like last season I've ended up impulse-buying another Master-Grade. Last time it was the RX-78 3.0, and honestly it looks kinda like crap as I didn't do much other than clean up the nub marks and apply all of those goddamn stickers. The waterslides are about a million times better than the stickers, seriously. And people use future because it's literally a really good self leveling acrylic gloss coat, no wax involved.

SALT CURES HAM posted:How well-articulated are the HGFC Burning Gundam and Master Gundam (w/ Fuunsaiki)? I'm probably getting them on Thursday when I get paid, but the way I want to pose them when I'm done might be a little tricky. I know the burning at least has crazy articulation, see here: http://www.dalong.net/review/hg/bf18/bf18_p.htm

Kibner posted:Spreading of sanding, would a high grit paper work for removing discoloration left by sprues? The discoloration goes downwards into the plastic, so no. The best way is to leave a lot of nub and slowly sand all the nub away until smooth and then use polishing paper, but that takes forever.

Kibner posted:Welp. I have already been leaving a lot of nub and using a knife to slowly shave away. A knife edge will put more stress on the plastic than sandpaper, especially fine sandpaper. A fresh blade as mentioned by MJP would work better because it is not going to have micro-chipping or a rolled edge from use and therefore pass through the plastic with a minimum of force. If you want to leave no marks sand down the last bit using 2000 grit paper. I hope you are looking forward to about half an hour of sanding per nub.

Anonymous Robot posted:I think I remember hearing somewhere that the MG Turn A was supposed to come with an action base, is that not the case? Mine doesn't have one, at least. What's the right size base for 1/100 kits, anyway? You might be thinking of the MG Turn X, which does come with a custom AB1.

Fauxtool posted:My unicorn LEDs finally shipped. I cant wait to start building this monster. Maybe I can finish it before they announce PG banshee and I lose interest in the vanilla unicorn. A-Are you ok? You should take your temperature, I mean, you, build something? Are you sure you don't want to put the box on a shelf instead? If something is wrong we can help you through it, you can rely on us.
