I don't know whether my feeling is correct or not, I have a feeling that Bandai will remake the 1/100 MG Sinanju for the Gundam Unicorn Animation series... Now I still struggle whether buy it or not  icon_question.gif

Dude I had the exact same feeling. lol

Gave in and got myself the ver. ka. Fully assembled the main body. Just need to finish up the backpack and weapons. Up till now, I feel that this kit really lives up to the title as "one of the most perfect MG's" ever made. Just wished Bandai could've done a little better with the gold parts rather than make us modellers paint or use the gold foil stickers rolleyes.gif

FUU!! Sinanju looks stunning~ I might either get Sinanju or Red frame

btw. a noob question that i wanna ask for a long time d.....

how did you guys make your MG figures look more attractive/stunning after assembled? So far i have only heard of Topcoat gloss spraying from people but I doubt that's the only thing rite?

My gunpla noob skills so far are just minor painting using gundam markers and Panel lining but i felt that more could be done to make my MG figures are awesome looking than just giving it mere plastic looks/feel  hmm.gif

LOL dude I was aiming for those 2 as well but decided to get the Sinanju first. But after awhile was thinking that maybe I should've gotten the Red Frame first and wait to see if Bandai decides to release a new version of the kit after the 2nd episode of Unicorn rolleyes.gif

Still in the process of snap fitting the kit. But I feel that the gold foil stickers/decals does no justice to this masterpiece of a kit. Paint is the way to go. Currently hunting for the right spray paints (don't have an air brush so spray paints should do the job for now I guess sweat.gif )

hey guys,

got a sudden urge to buy a macross figure, what the average price these two are going for nowadays?

VF-25S Supermessiah Ozuma Custom
VF-25F Armoredmessiah Ozuma Custom

haven't got the chance to browse around lately.

they look pretty good in dalong, but how's the actual quality, any good?(for the price, i mean)
*
Not sure about the price nowadays but I bought Brera Stern's bird and I'm never getting another macross kit tongue.gif

Lol it just feels really fragile. Light and flimsy. Looks great for display purposes if that what you're looking for but transformation seems to wear down the build after a few transformations sweat.gif

I've heard some better reviews about the Armoredmessiah's so probably you'd have better luck with it. The Supermessiah's do not have a leg locking mechanism so that's a drag rclxub.gif
