might have to do with the plastic they use.. it feels like a better quality than what they used for ARF.. but as a result they have this stupid shine to it.. a bit of flat coat will help, i think.. i've yet to try though

support their gerbera tetra while funding their RND for GP-04

yeap i'm skipping the RC as usual.. unless someone asks me to build it again i don't mind trying, but i feel like the price will be out of my budget

DM is more affordable, most probably wonder how the final price is like.. hope it's their usual HG pricing

that's why they had the pic of it with the shoulders down they feel u, bro

ah the double B plate kesian at least they willing to solve la

kasi jual la keep in box kumpul habuk only

congrats to all winners!

a bit disappointed at my score breakdown.. but i guess it was justified.. i looked at my blue frame and.. it really was a bad selection for straight build even the decals are very tricky to put on.. was my mistake la nevermind.. next group build will do better!

haha.. i would love to know comments as well.. if that's not too much trouble to see what i did wrong

latest completed kit, daban's stark jegan and geara zulu.. extremely happy with both of them (as am i with most of unicorn series' HGs)
both were very fun, and my only gripe is that they still use a ball joint for the hip instead of the 2 peg joint like in 00 HGs.. however they're still really posable and i'm very happy with them

while both are very solid kits, if in playability, geara zulu wins over the jegan due to it not having so much clutter and parts peg in more solidly.. the stark jegan's lower leg armor don't hold together very well.. they WILL stay there, however when you move it around, they tend to slide around a bit.. which makes it uncomfortable to pose




i found it pretty hilarious that the grenade launcher attachment for his rifle makes a pretty convincing handgun



so as a conclusion, both are very much worth picking up, but geara zulu is overall more fun to play with

don't overlook the jegan either, it's a pretty impressive kit i think you could make the normal jegan with that as well, since they provide both head parts

my advice, STAY AWAY from model GD.. unless you are confident enough as a modeller to tackle their problems.. joints will be loose and floppy, parts will not snap together properly.. molding is very very bad and you can always see excess plastic on the molding.. details will be lost in their horrible molding..

however, i know the Zeta is very rare when it comes to original.. i myself am tempted to try, but even after experiencing most of the bootleg models, i still have second thoughts about trying Model GD.. i have a HG Gaia and it is a horrible mess..

in any case, my advice is stay away.. but if you're confident and feel up to the challenge, i think it is something u will be very proud of if u manage to work through all the problems and complete the kit.. but be prepared to spend a lot of quality time with it

haha, i know how u feel.. i REAAAALLLY want this model as well but originals can cost an upwards of RM300-400.. which is INSANE.. i might just get one original normal color to repaint myself.. that's just how bad model GD is

^ this

we all hate model GD with a burning passion

we really should do a model GD group build pick ONE type of model (so all is the exact same thing) then we get someone to bring in one whole carton, then we challenge, who can make the model kit look the best

then we have to gather and build somewhere.. bring sleeping bags.. one MG to perfection will take 2-3 days non stop

i think they're getting there

those are very different models.. first of all, mc model hi nu is 1/144 scale.. GoGo's hi nu is the evolve version taken from a resin kit i think, while the gaogao version is a direct copy of the original version..
since they're different, it's hard to say which is best.. do u enjoy build quality? do you enjoy details? do you enjoy the normal version, or maybe something different?

well officially it's 1/144, but it comes up to almost an MG size.. overall, inner frame aside, the mcmodel one has the best looking details and display options. if you can get the first batch, you'll get the wings and the water slides which will add a lot of details to it.. even without the water slides, the details are very well sculpted.

a close second would be the hi nu evo. very nicely designed, very fun build and is taller than the regular hi nu.. the original MG gets last place because, well, it's been done before only get it if you are a hi nu fan otherwise, the other 2 will do just fine

seen runner pics and i think RC will be taking your money soon

seems like quite an improvement from previous nightmare

probably excess plastic.. just carefully trim it off so you can fit it into the peg.. it's not uncommon but first time i've seen it cover an entire hold
