    Whelp, the latest spree saw the purchase of the chubby guison, the guison rebake, graze ein and chars zaku. Already built carta (not that that kit just sat around for a while...) and graze ein, love em both already. I don't have a problem, you have a problem.

    That reminds me that I need to keep an eye out for Star Wars kits this weekend.

    Let me know if it's any good. I've had my eye on those kits for a while.

    Is time a gift or punishment?

    I have the 1/72 X-wing and the R2/BB8 kit and both are super highly detailed and very well made.

    Hey guys, haven't posted in a while due to being busy with summer classes and this language program I'm in. But I've just added two new (relatively) rare figure sets to my MSIA collection. When I saw these for the price I got them for I couldn't hesitate. These are two really cool sets, and I always like getting character/ace variations of the Zeon suits.

    Also may have my first Gunpla post in August, girlfriend and I are going to build two kits together. I'm waiting on her to choose one she likes. I'll probably do a GM. I'm thinking of painting them as well rather than just doing a straight snap build.

    Is there a B-wing kit? And how cost prohibitive are they?

    Not yet. They just announced the TIE Interceptor though.

    After the Y-Wing I definitely want an A-Wing and also hope they do a TIE Bomber.

    Pro Tip. This Y-Wing is not for the faint of heart. Jesus these pipes. I am using glue here and there as well.

    Also I had to paint the pilot since he/she is pretty integrated into the build.

    Looks like the entire thing needs paint and weathering. It's not like most Gundam kits, which can look good with some panel lining and topcoat.

    That's pretty much just the ascetic of Star Wars, everything being worn and dirty. Doesn't lend itself to the same methods as Gundam.

    Bandai announced a P-Bandai Exclusive accessory set for the upcoming RG Sinanju

    http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2016/07/p-bandai-exclusive-rg-1144-sinanju_19.html
    Expansion Set Includes:
    - Damaged Sinanju Head
    - Beam axe effect parts x2
    - Rocket Bazooka x2
    - Hand parts, grip hands
    - Colonel Daguza Mackle 1/144 scale figure

    It's 1944 yen, which is as much as or more than some kits alone.

    I'm already getting the RG Sinanju, but I don't think I'll spring for this. I like what the main kit comes with, though that little figure is pretty cool if you've watched the show. It's from a great moment.

    The RG Sinanju + extra parts will cost almost as much as the MG Sinanju.

  • Options
    RenzoRenzo Registered User regular
    The thing that has me going for the RG is the separate gold parts. As far as I can tell, all the other kits use decals to achieve the gold/black separation, while the RG has gold-colored parts and cutouts for the black parts for all of that.

    Pilots that aren't their own separate piece(s) is a pet peeve of mine.

    In other news I may have time to work on my GM this weekend. Yaaay!

    Ah, dammit

    somehow in between obsessively checking google every couple of weeks since spring i missed the preorder period for the Robot Damashii Ex-S at the beginning of this month

    it's still available at a couple places, but a lot more expensive

    i might.. bite the bullet anyway, it's the only robit i was really looking forward to this year

    What did you do to weather it?

    I did some basic panel lining with a micron pen first then bascially coated the whole thing in one of my old 40k washes to just grunge it up a bit then added some basic burn/oil streaks with some brown and black paint lightly drybrushed on. The R5 was just red paint and a very fine brush.

    Took maybe an hour total?

    It's not technically gunpla as it is Bandai but I finally finished stickering and painting my bb8 and r2d2.

    They were really fun to make! I'm tempted to get some money together and give the millennium falcon a go.

    If there are any star wars gunpla nerds in Austin, I have an old Millennium Falcon model, about a foot and a half long, assembled and glued, but totally unpainted, unweathered, undetailed. It's yours for free.

    It would need to be unglued and cleaned before any real work could be done on it.

    PM me if you're interested.

    The Bandai Falcon is 1/144 so it is in scale to HG Gunpla!

    Yes, the kit comes with all the panels needed to have them closed, or open and showing their equipment. So you can have R2 with his buzzsaw out, for example.

    Omnimon/Omegamon, from Digimon. Good luck finding the kit, I think I might have found the last one in all of damn creation. Been out of production for a couple years now.
