i keep the runners too. you never know when you'll need some coloured plastic piece to fix broken parts. used them for gluing, patching and whatnot.

agreed, macross kits have a better plane mode than gundams + valk mode.

haha...i got a supermessiah like in feb-mac this year. up to this day, i've only decaled the super parts. the main body is still "naked" and on display.

haiyaa...you borrow their money, isn't it your "commitment" to pay it back?

well, sinanju is one of the best MG. it's so good that there's no need for any other version (only ver ka). unicorn sucks so bad that they need to have several versions, but then it still sucks. thanks to the crazy transformation. but then again, most non-transforming MS are better than the transforming ones anyway.

more than one = several

well, i think most model kits would have an "Achilles' heel" somewhere in the design. with sinanju, it's "Sinanju's waist". although i don't think it's "that" fragile, if you're careful.

wow, learn something new today.

you should try one of the macross frontier kits too. those things are a pain to assemble. and the decals will really test your patients.

was thinking of that, but it's been nearly a year since i bought the kit and still haven't finish the decal.

i finished the kits within the same week i bought it, but the decals took months and still applying.

btw, what top coat would best fit a macross vf-25* kit anyway? i flat coated my bandai 1/72 vf-1s kit (variable kit- finally managed to get this old kit), looks good as it is white. but i think flat coat won't look so good on a vf-25s.

probably because the MG WZC is so much more cooler with the expendable wings + a heap of decals.

PG WZC is just too plain.

you gotta be kidding



inner frame rock! (granted that's an MG). i like this frame so much i decided to just leave it on display like that. naked and no armour.

yeah, but unlike the zaku, sinanju's armour makes it look even more intimidating. as such, it's hard decision whether to keep a sinanju naked or armoured.

it confuses me at some point

that tends to happen. experienced the same thing with my Titan Mark ii and vf-25s super messiah. just need to be extra careful.

Added on November 3, 2011, 2:30 pmeither way works. i use to follow the manual 100% too. but then you can't admire the entire inner frame(like how dalong.net pictured them). then i decided to just make the inner frame 1st, leave it on display a few days/weeks then continue with the armour.

i think this is good practice, in such a way that it makes you more familiar with the frame. so if you want to take the entire armour off next time, either for display or painting or etc, you know which part to pull off.

extra finish is quite durable. problem is getting rid of the nub marks.
