My favourite bit is the recessed light that illuminates the top shelf and nothing else. The gunpla is blocking out the light.

Because I'm fairly new, I looked up the actual yen price for kits, to see how big the markup actually is, for being outside Japan. It was a bad move because I just bummed myself out. Anyway, rather than paying for expedited delivery, I'm now staggering purchases, so I get one a week, while the previous one is shipping. This is how backlogs start, isn't it.

I'm so hype to see this finished. Rex is one of my favourite mech designs ever. Bimmi posted:This seems less true now than it used to. Things will go out of production for extremely long stretches, some to the point where you might as well call them discontinued. If someone's asking $40 for a 1986 Gundam ZZ kit, that tells me it's been a good long time since any have been seen at retail, and I believe we're now a couple years into the 00 series being basically unavailable anywhere. My current plan is, since I get paid weekly, to buy one a week, to compensate for the long deliveries. So it's offset when one arrives while the next is being delivered. So I bought the 1/144 Grimoire earlier. Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Nov 3, 2014 |

UK Gunpla Goons, it seems I may have found the answer to our struggle. A store with decent prices, and especially reasonable delivery costs. I've bought a cheap kit with cheap delivery as a dry-run to see what their service is like. Since I recently watched War in the Pocket, I bought the HGUC Z'gok-E

Does the product value, for the sake of customs, include shipping?

Well that loving sucks. Anyway, MG 00 Gundam Seven Sword is just under half price on Amazon right now, if anyone wants it.

If awaiting delivery counts as backlog, mine is only: HG Grimoire HG Z'gok-E The HG Build Burning Gundam is calling to me though. I also want to get the HG Hygogg too, and decide what my MG is gonna be (I only have one shelf for gunpla, so my centerpiece will be an MG).

Urgh, the Masurao is such a pain to pose, due to it's ITTY BITTY FEET AND MASSIVE ARMS AND TORSO. I wish I could do the old 40k trick of sticking pennies under it's feet.

The HG Build Mk-II was my first gunpla. Other than the V-fin stickers being awful, it's not terrible. Tricky to get it standing with the backpack attached though.

Anyone got the HGUC Zssa? If so, how was it to build? How is it to pose? Cause that is a drat fine design. Macrossian in it's missilitude.

Think I've reconsidered actually. After the fairly stationary Z'gok-E, I want something more dynamic. As well as waiting on the Grimoire I bought, I'm gonna buy the HGBF Build Burning

Should I get GM Sniper II or Sniper K9? K9 has more (and better) accessories, but I prefer Sniper II's colour scheme.

If I had the time, space and money, I'd totally have a Neo Zeong. Anyway, I now have three gunpla all dispatched. This is how it happens isn't it. They all arrive on the same day. I bet they will.

My Grimoire arrived today!  It's a great kit except from a few things. The feet. Posing it is pretty hard because there really isn't much articulation on the feet. The hip joints are kinda floppy too. Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Nov 15, 2014 |

Related but on the other end of the spectrum: I'm looking for sensible Zeon suits. Char's Counterattack and Unicorn is pretty much the lot, right? With stuff like the Geara Doga etc. Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Nov 15, 2014 |

For babby's first painting (I want a yellow V-fin on the RX-78), could I just brush-paint that? I still have my Citadel paints and brushes from when I collected 40k. Would I need to prime it?

Figures that the hardest weapons to put the Sniper K9 with is either of it's sniper rifles. Still, giving it Naked Snake CQC poses with it's knife and pistol There's a lot of parts still left on the sprue though...  Also, it does one of the things I always love: It can mount it's shield on either arm. Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Nov 22, 2014 |
