MG has better articulation of course, but more pricey.
If your budget is limited, go for HGUC S or EX-S. Both are bricks like the MG but at least they won't burn a hole in your wallet. You won't miss the transformation gimmick because how many times are you going to muck around with it? They are huge enough to tower over most other 1/144s too.

^ in addition to that, the transformation on MG Ex-S is a fiddly mess, most people (like myself) never even bother with it, so buying HGUC wont cause you to miss out on much

suddenly the PG actually looks kinda beautiful.. as crappy as it is without a lot of gimmicks or great build, can't really argue about the final look.. price, yes, it's always a big problem whistling.gif but damn it really does look pretty good

no matter how, 1/60 scale is very satisfying whistling.gif

Guys, noob here

question guys, im not sure how the sequence go.

panel line> decals> coat. ??
*
yes
some people go for panel line -> gloss topcat -> decal -> gloss/flat topcoat, need skills so that the topcoat won't be too thick

guys since we're discussing on Zaku, what are the different between all the zaku below other than their color? Thinking of buying my 1st zaku smile.gif

1/100 (MG) MS-06F ZAKU II Ver2.0,
1/100 (MG) MS-06J ZAKU II Ver2.0,
1/100 (MG) ZAKU II CHAR CUSTOM Ver2.0,
1/100 (MG) ZAKU II Ver.2.0 (WHITE ORGE),
1/100 (MG) ZAKU II Ver2.0 (BLACK TRI-STAR),
1/100 (MG) ZAKU II ver2.0 (JOHNNY RIDDEN'S CUSTOM)
1/100 (MG) ZAKU II Ver2.0 (SHIN MATSUNAGA CUSTOM)
*
J Type is ground unit, while F Type is space unit, hence F Type has extra thrusters at the legs and feet, and larger backpack thrusters
Char's Custom is an S Type, which is basically a F Type but extra thrusters at the legs and different backpack

White Ogre is a J Type, just with extra belt with bazooka ammo

both Black Tri-Star and Shin's Custom are R-1A Type, a high maneuverability type Zaku
with external boosters at the lower legs, and different backpack
Black Tri-Star has the 320mm bazooka, while Shin has the 320mm bazooka prototype

Johnny's Custom is R-2 Type, which is improved version of R-1A
the difference is the legs' external boosters have a larger armor design
and this kit has Johnny's signature weapon, the 360mm bazooka

I have HGUC and find thats pretty annoying you cant do pose with shield on

I thought you were complaining the shield blocking cant pose well? so mount at the side then the left hand will be free to pose
and the better shield mounting, just flip the shield 180 degree la tongue.gif
