Johnny Ridden's bright red is nice if u dont like char's pinkish red...its up to your preference...i like zaku's thrusters so the choice is between those three plus black tristars's

Any obvious changes from early pics...Heavyarms will be the last one don't know when...so next year we will get custom's one?

^ I've beeng waiting for this but I think I will go for the resin kit. Much more nicer

Something nice to show for today's haul!..

Zaku~


EVA~

yeah, resin kit looks better, but more exp, more difficult to build, and also needs coloring. i'd stick with injection kit, thanks

FUUUUUUUUU....pink zaku lacus custom?

hehe, me also first time buying this bro I think it's Mere Campbell soup's zaku

post the pic, next time i want buy a zaku to custom it too

can modelling thinner be mix with enamel paint to thin the paint for panel wash?

Or we could just wait for the EW Sandrock Custom

can lol..
even Zippo fluid can use instead of thinner

yes, I use Zippo fluid. It's cheap and really does everything for me; thins enamel paints, helps me remove excess panel lines, removes excess glue marks (like if I choose to remove some stickers there'll be some glue marks leftover). Pretty happy with it...been using two cans for almost a year dy.

since we're on the zaku subject, anyone know where i can get the clear version of the zaku v2.0? around KL? estimated price?

Only if there's an MG ver2.0 for the Sazabi. The ver1.0 is too expensive and overall poor in terms of articulation and detail given its age.

Things to watch out for with the MKII:
1. The sliding mechanism for the shield can be quite tricky to get it right. Don't use brute force, but rather align it properly first before you push the pieces in.

2. Beware of the vulcan pod's antenna. It is pretty thin and fragile. Same with the V-fin but this is the case with any other gundams.

3. The curved part of the backpack boosters are difficult to apply the warning decals. Air gets trapped easily there. Furthermore the dark pieces will overwhelm the lightly coloured decals.

4. The hand pegs for the weapons are quite short hence they will wear out very quickly if you change accessories very often.

5. For the Titans version, have some red paint ready for minor detailing e.g. grooves on the feet and interior surface of thrusters.

6. The two cameras on top of the chest do not have bundled stickers. Make good use of the shiny sticker sheet ! You should have enough leftover edges from the 3 green sensor stickers for you to cut out.

I love you Bandai.

Some hopes for the Jesta:
1. Include the shield please.
2. Keep the carbine at its current size, don't shrink it.
3. Movable visor, instead of part swapping like the Ecoas Jegan.
4. Shoulders and swivel far enough to hold the carbine up close to the face like a SWAT team.
5. Cheap !! Keep it under 1800 yen please, in fact make it 1600

Things yet to be confirmed from the linearts:
1. What is on the right forearm ? The beam sabre is located on the left like Nu, and the stats say it only has one so we don't know whether there's anything attached on the right side.

2. Similarly, what's on the right skirt? Again, stats say 3 grenades only. I think it might be ammo clips like its predecessor, the Jegan.

The scratchbuilt Jestas that we can see in modelling magazines all have symmetrical equipment on left and right sides. I sure hope this is not the case for the HGUC.
