hello, i'm new to this hobby and forum.. been build SD, HG, MG for the past 6 months.. somehow i found RG are hard to build.. don't know is it me or something.. started on my char's zaku only half done got stucked.. only managed to to do the leg and waist portion.. so far my personal preference still MG.. enjoyed building it alot although i have not started on bandai MG yet.. for bandai i only finished a 1/100 tallgeese 3, HG pearl sinanju & banshee and G bouncer and quite alot of SD kit which shall not mention here..

i'm more of a bad guy person.. very much into gunpla coz of sinanju, sazabi, zaku, kshatriya and tallgeese.. rclxms.gif

yup i definately find RG more detailed than master grade.. i think the main problem I faced so far is getting used to the manual which i find not very straightforward + those small parts which looks breakable.. that's personal opinion maybe some will find it easy to build.. just like i prefer water decals more than dry transfer.. very embrassing to said, i still don't really know how to apply those dry transfer sticker since i started with water decals and those normal stickers..

It's a GN Band.

So, i've decided i'm gonna get a Sinanju Stein. Something about the simpleness and lack of color entices me to do something cool with it.
*
Personal preference, i feel the thruster abit small, still prefer the orginal sinanju one, and the rifle abit too bulky, plus the missing pointy thing on top of its head make the head kind of look like a monk :/ either way i am still considering and have no budget now for it tongue.gif

I think i'll get the stein by end of the week provided the local shop still have stock. Unsure how much they gonna sell though but most probably i can only get that for the whole of mar. Next, apr i'll get the OVA sinanju. As for my non bandai sinanju I may repainted it to blue or purple. I have not decided. Plan is a plan, all may goes wrong.

i'm more of the design person and NON bias towards any series.. as long as the design i like i'll buy. I've never watch the amuro series before but I buy nu and sazabi. I only watched seed, wing, OO and abit of unicorn.. In fact my fav design is the sazabi and sinanju.. I like the marasai design but I've never watched zeta gundam before.. I don't even know who piloted zeta gundam but I have the zeta RG because i like the design.. Sorry I'm a noob shakehead.gif

Hi Guys, WTA do you guys think all this 1/144 scale movie version gundam is worth it as its 1/144 scale but its selling at MG prices. I think 1/144 scale gundams are generally lack in details (except RG) thats why i usually goes for MG. I'm still thinking whether its worth it to get this? Is there any good? rclxub.gif Seek your opinions.. notworthy.gif

I have this bro.. and it leave nub marks.. You should grab the movie version pearl finished sinanju.. And yest I bought both of them at MG price. If your like me who is more of a MG person, I think your better off with a MG banshee or the titanium version..

To me if u really want a safe place from children, wall cabinet is sometime good for display.
Though theres no guarantee that other people wont touch sweat.gif

I actually broke my detolf display cabinet and cut myself while assembling it.. If you have small children at home I advice to tell them about the hazard or keep the cabinet away from them.. its not really sturdy.. I'm using a hemnes glass-door cabinet now.. kind of dark.. gonna install led light because I can't really see my model kit after i close the door lol..

(abit of photoshop to brighten this dark kit.. not too much)

this is a great kit if u want good looking transparent + sparkling model of the banshee
(the bonus is of course this can be build fast, painting is very much optional tongue.gif )
it comes with extra armaments: rifle & shield leftover from unicorn destroy mode sprues.. it's fun to swap if u don't like the claw & funnel-looking blaster

got this previously from gundamUC theatrical screening but i heard it's being sold even during fairs for ~100.. forgot the exact price
*
You should grab the sinanju pearl finish.. its damn cool.. I think theres a unicorn movie version but hell I don't think I'll grab anymore so call limited edition.. I think I got it at around 120..

hey guys wanna ask, any of you guys who uses air brush, own a box with fan + exhaust pipe so you can do the air brush in room?

Today one of my friend who doing good in gunpla told me about this, because some of the condo has very tight management and will scold us if we do air brush/ spray can at common area like stair case there... (and spray it in room will definitely screw your room all over the places!)

I live in an high rise building and I don't think i can build the boot in my room.. either my neighbour will complain or family will get upset.. I usually do painting outside my house at the corridor common areas.. if your going to do it in the room make sure u get a proper mask.. it's not too wise to do it in an enclosed area..
