Reportin' in!

sorry no model to show-off coz still practicing my technique

the HGUC 06 Zaku II was an old mold, no waist articulation, no thruster mold (blank backpack), no handpegs, etc while the F2 is newer.
if you wanted something of Zaku disregards of the version, the HGUC Zaku I and Zaku I Sniper Type (normal or Yonem Kirks ver) should be considered too

unleash the wing, unleash the freedom, enter Strike Freedom



please ignore the messy panel lining this is my first gundam after like 3 years ?

Lol ... why Bandai wanna use that inner frame, it's ugly T_T

Congrats V32

reporting in

thanks! will compare it.
for now, i think i will go for HGUC Zaku II F2 first, i prefer this zaku head.. lol..

ooo, TS listen to this hardcore TS, he's really good at opening new threads.

That aside, anyone here owns the EX-S Gundam?

Congrats on new thread...

With new thread, comes greater poison and deeper wallet damage!!! :-)

New thread, new PG Strike progress: http://imgur.com/fo8mm1P,vYH9jhX#0



I won't be making you guys cry like I did with my PG GP01 kit. I'm aiming for a clean hangar build this time, except half the kit will be completely exposed inner frame - hence why i'm trying to spruce up the naked half with my silver/gold Gundam markers.

MG? yeah i do.

i have the MG too but it's uhh.. not bandai

Btw nazrul90 soniamdisappoint.jpg, I thought the new thread pic would of been Sazabi rather then Fenice, where's there monoeye love?

How much did you spent on the kit and what's your views on the kit?

Any one know where can buy those Mr. Marker products?

I search through lowyat and found this guy: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2502112/all

Anyone bought from him before? Thanks

new thread and everyone's posting pictures. have a nightingale (seen at gunpla expo)

How much i spend? Hmm roughly 250 for the kit (bought when yen was 0.032) and another 200-300 for paints,thinner,masking tape,custom decals, etc etc. Cant giv u actual figure since its quite long ago.

As for review, its an old kit so dun expect it'll compare well against new stuff like Nu or 3.0. It has very limited articulation due to design aka a brick; its a beautiful brick but a brick nonetheless. The external fuel tank connection is extremely week since the joint is so small and the tank is so heavy, it'll end up loose and droopy. The BFG is hard to pose with in hand and dull looking if u dun paint it. The big booster is also quite dull looking without paint to bring out the detail. It cant stand on its own (well technically it can but it'll stand with a weird angle and ridiculously unstable). Major seam lines along the external fuel tank, but thats the only major panel line on the kit though the rest r hidden quite well. Nub marks r ok for a 2004 kit. Bloody crappy sticker for the wing flap. Pain in the arse transformation process. Other then that overall its ok considering its a 2004 kit, its quite solid as well despite being a transformable kit. Its the best bang for buck kit out there, u'll get lots and lots of plastic for a 8000yen kit. The only "modern" kit thats is comparable in size and amount of plastic is The-O but thats way more expensive and even then not as much plastic as Ex-S. Its build time is about that of a PG, not because of its complexity but because of its sheer amount of plastic. Give it a try if u r curious, but only if u hav experience building transformable kit and/or old kit.

maybe buy another one in future
for this one I plan to custom color

forgot liao

but why should be problem?
thread always bumping at 1st page subforum,I dont think that so hard to find, this is not like thread at Kopitiam subforum where everyday thread got buried by thousand new threads

heck yea I would love too but it is easier for people to find gundam thread so have to put gundam pic
