YESSSS NEW THREAD! congrats V32

GAT-X frames here to congratulate the new thread.. Athrun is off fighting Kira so they can't make it

weren't they always fighting, just that Athrun didn't want to KILL Kira at the time? can't remember already

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

^ 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

Nic and his fuel tank fetish

well build strike is the reason they got a new strike.. and i'd hate to say it, but if they made this mold into a new perfect strike, i think i'd buy it

nope, chrome gold would cause problems and make it even easier to break.. have you heard of gold plastic syndrome (GPS)? a lot of chrome gold plastic have that problem.. i think gunpla less though, since it's not entirely gold or gold at the structural points

imagine that one B frame.. bandai is going to make a fortune out of replacement parts

just a heads up, please EDIT your previous post instead of chain posting it feels a bit.. unecessary

one can only hope and wut? valkyries are the predecessor of Kyrios?

Formania Sazabi is too much for a poor person like me
ver ka also quite pricey to me, but at least need to put in less work compared to the resin one but i would love to try a resin kit one day when i can afford it and have more skills to paint and detail

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 but damn it really does look pretty good

there are not that many PGs.. so it's only a matter of time before you run out of PGs to buy then you HAVE to turn back

that may be but if you're a PG collector, you gotta get em all.. and even then, there aren't THAT many PGs

when u compare what you'll be getting for 2700.. RG Exia? not saying Exia is bad, we haven't even seen pics, but this is a lot, comparing to Exia's sleek design

2700 too expensive for full cloth.. expecting normal crossbone, since about F91 size.. 1200yen-ish.. 1500-1800 yen is what i'd pay for full cloth.. any more and i'd pause to think

very impulse-like... overlaid with strike deign what were they thinking

answer, no.. nothing can match the chrome like the one provided with Exia Ignition Mode.. the closest is maybe chrome silver paint/marker from brands like tamiya but you will never be able to get something as shiny as the chrome they provide since it's done via electro plating

yup, that's why u have to be careful when cutting chromed parts or dealing with chromed kits.. a lot of modellers here do not like chromed kits due to all the work and nubmarks that end up on the kit, so it's all personal preference.. if you have a chrome silver marker, you can just hide it slightly, shouldn't be all that noticable unless the nub is HUGE

spraying over chromed parts is always a waste.. since you'll never get that kind of finish.. normally i just tend to ignore the nub mark, it's usually not that noticable, since the chrome will most likely distract anyone looking at it on display

alternatively, you can always play with poses, and make it so that it's even less visible
