^ Yep it was quite a sizable MS and the most expensive MG to date (Excluding exclusive/ shiny finish ver)

But with that been said tho it kinda disappointing since the armor just look too plain for my liking.

Still waiting the inevitable MG Sazabi ver ka/2.0 Bandai.

About the new HGUC FAU, it not also much cheaper than MG but also more stable.

Just finish my Byarlant Custom but have a hiccup in the top coat.

You can try using gaianotes lacquer thinner for thinning acrylic which work for me.

Mine more on painting projects backlogs with Nu gundam ver ka and SD Command Gundam. :/

^ yep

Mine Nu gundam ver ka is still not completed but can't wait to get Jesta Cannon also since i will buy 2 si i can make a team of 3 Jesta.

I think that was from vegeta8259 which make sense since paint will thick up the connector.

Also want to join pic spam as well

The Box art for the HG Banshee Norn but interestedly they include coupon in them so you can win HGUC Gundam Unicorn Pearl Gloss Clear Green ver (very mouthful name ) but this might for Japan only.

But Bandai LED is just flickering way to much for my liking which you don't expect that kind of quality from Bandai.

Speaking of backlog, my PG GP01 is gazing at me to build it .

On MG not so much even if i plan to paint, the inner frame will get less attention as mostly likely to coat with one color unless it was visible when all the armor is assembled but HG with alot stickers like Byarlant Custom i certainly paint those since the sticker color don't match with the plastic color.


I think i remember someone mention that it will make the panel line less noticeable but to be honest dark blue really not suitable for the Banshee and for me the psychoframe is the attention grabber than panel line.

Save space also since you don't need to keep those big spray cans in a closet.

Agree and the design just don't look menacing and more like a very obese MS plus with all that empty space in that price is just don't grab my attention.

Just now i kick my lazy ass off and actually try to finish my Nu ver ka ...

Yeah the ball joint really look too long at certain angle but that i can get over with. It just the size is kinda abit too large to even the huge Nu. Might as well test out the 1/144 ones to see if it ok.

For me i don't really like metal thrusters since it look awkward when in combine flat coated gundam with brand new bling2 metal but if it was a metallic kit sure i will choose the metal ones.

I also done a review of them here but my writing is not that good :/

Betting they planning on selling Launcher and Sword packs set as online exclusive.

Resisted RG GP01 since i already have PG of it but if they make of RG Dendrobium, i instantly buy it (Which i doubt they will ).

Certainly not final since don't have the decals yet but atleast coloured.

The waterslide ones is dull yellow which no one really like.

@walkin most of those black parts actually beveled and can easily handbrush them, it just that the shield is the hardest since there barely have any bevel. I use enamel reverse wash tho to get a much cleaner results.

I like it also since i have 2 ver of Banshee. but really the titanium finish just not worth it for me...
