I got the kits on Wednesday. I'm doing the kits in that order because I plan to have all five suits posed together something like this:

Except the suits will be posed like their respective boxart.

very nice work mate - how did you clean/hide the nub marks ? i can hardly spot them. teach me a bit....
*
It's hardly complicated. Basically, I just use a hobby knife to shave the nub down completely, then use a color appropriate Gundam Marker over the nub mark, and then use a cotton ball to wipe away the excess marker so what I have left is something that's only really noticeable if you go in close.

As an update to to my work, I can now say that I have another "DO NOT" to add to the list besides: "DO NOT use topcoat when it is cold". It's "DO NOT use paint thinner to clean paint off gunpla plastic" I just completely ruined one of Heavyarm's shoulders as a result of the whole thing becoming extremely brittle as a result of the paint thinner. I can probably salvage it, but the shoulder will probably have to forever remain closed as a result of the superglue.

bro mind elaborate more on the 'do not use topcoat when it is cold' part? kinda newbie here. Any guidance will be appreciated thumbup.gif

It's already been stated what it is by HxiiiK and Nazrul, but if the topcoat is too cold or the area you spray it is too cold, your model is going to look like it got hit by a Christmas tree froster. To prevent this, put the can in warm water for 5 minutes and make sure your spray room is room temperature.

My Heavyarms progress, including the aforementioned broken shoulder. I can salvage the kit, but i'm not gonna be able to have Heavyarms in Full Open Mode anymore.

Nothing yet. I wouldn't expect any new photos until late October-early November.

Well, AGE did fail spectacularly. Maybe now Bandai will go back to making some more 00 kits.

well i wouldn't say spectacularly.. it did fairly well, i think? but it definitely did not sell like hotcakes

I was referring more to the anime, but even the model kit line only did okay. Bandai was expecting the AGE line to sell 30% better than the 00 line.

A bit off-topic. I've been wanting to ask this question for a long time. What scale are Robot Damashii line of Gundam figurines actually? Is it smaller than 1/144 scale? By the way, they look quite nice.
*
They're slightly bigger than 1/144 scale. Here's a video that shows the difference between RD Wing Zero and 1/144 NG Wing Zero(skip to 19:09 in the video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsuvBVg3MtI

I thought you guys were talking about the G-Savior first and got massively confused as to why anyone would want that kit...
