the 0 raiser is definitely one to pick up.. but i'd recommend sandrock first since you already pretty much have the 00 gundam kit.. shenlong is one of my least favourites in the wing series so i'm biased

imo for zaku, the inner frame is fantastic.. but i don't like that a lot of that detail is sacrificed for the outer armor.. that's why i'm not a big fan of zaku kits.. haha

well if you're rich u could get a MG or even PG to try painting because logically you would get the cheapest thing u can to LEARN painting.. cos if u screw up an MG.. do i even need to spell it out

beli, jangan tak beli

is our motto here.. you'll hear it a lot
plus i heard the duel is very well done.. i have mine on PO and waiting for it to get here.. can't wait to have it in hand.. i already built the b*ndai duel (unfortunately, for someone else ) and i did enjoy the build.. hoping to get my own now

not bad it seems, like assembling lego but even the cheapest i've found is RM640.. the item is tempting.. but the price is making me think 'no way in heck'

i'm quite excited as well but as a student still.. it's hard for me to shell out such a huge amount for one single kit, as awesome as the kit may sound..

however i'm very interested in how the parts are and how they work.. please do take some pictures and do a bit of commenting in the form of a review when you've gotten your kit!

it clearly states that it does not require gluing.. so hopefully it doesn't? i don't think it'll be a bad investment though, so far it's looking pretty good.. besides, i only have the 1/144 HG kshatriya by gaogao and i think that's good enough for me for now

bro, painting thread is HERE

agreed! i built heavyarms and it turned out to be really great.. no problems at all.. gaogao is getting better
now i went to fix the blue frame and it feels less solid than heavyarms.. it means gaogao is moving in the right direction!

chronologically, ARF was released before ABF.. and they both use the same mold so... from what i can tell from the build, they both have a few small problems.. one of them is the thumb, very very prone to popping out on both kits
and the legs might be a bit loose since it has a lot of joints so they tend to topple over due to the backpack.. but these problems can be easily fixed and for the price you pay, these 2 are definitely worth their price

all i can say is, you'd have to be crazy not to want heavy arms.. i mean.. it's heavy arms!
allow me to provide some form of poisoning
darn i haven't gotten round to panel line this fella yet



in the next pic, you can see the nice crisp detailing gaogao has managed to keep from the original



plus the metal parts are a very nice bonus (though i would've preferred another gatling gun )

haha.. this was done i think 2 weeks ago before CNY i think.. straight take straight build.. cos heavy arms is one of my favourite mecha sandrock still in his box, sadly

tunjuk tunjuk ur backlog

i already told u but u didn't believe me

haha, keep the backlog, and enjoy each kit for what it is.. previously with originals, it's hard to have backlog since we're all struggling to afford the kits.. but with these china gunpla, they're cheap enough to get 2 per 1 unit original.. so we tend to stack up backlogs

yeah.. i also thought of clearing out my collection and focusing only on RG and maybe PG.. but china gunpla is really poisonous! everytime u let your guard down, gaogao/daban will hit u with something awesome.. like that time, Ex-S!! then now FAU.. when will they slow down they don't slow down i also can't slow down.. LOL!

lolll... if only money come that fast.. then i can also beli fast

if house small also nightmare.. no place to display

good thing his base can put some LBX or SD around good usage of space!

draw floor plan boleh.. but need all the work and labor still need $$$! housing in malaysia really gg

anyway.. i'm also waiting for MCM Qubeley.. also colored pics! the details itself.. fuuuu.. make me want it already.. so far not disappointed at all with MCM releases.. only the LEDs on the SD susah sikit mau pasang

architect wannabe come mid this year i will finish my degree.. still long way to go

as for time, proper time management is a must.. i don't know why a lot of people have trouble finishing their work... but i get by just fine

TT Unicorn i think still able to find at 80-90.. if you're lucky
