Better use the provided peg. And also, use AB3 and the box art for maximum awesomeness when displaying!

Everything is pale in comparison to the upcoming PG Unicorn

Even the RG Wing Zero's hype seems to be swallowed up by the PG announcement

PG Unicorn second hype phase: during the reveal of the kit itself next month

Tough luck, Wing Zero is possible, but not the PG, very unlikely.

Is the 10th expo already confirmed? Any advertisement?

Any reading materials?

I find it weird that s7ran9er is looking for MG but posted RD picture, and then for the following posts I'm not sure whether you guys are talking about MG or RD

Well good luck to him. As for my Norn, I have only finished top coating the legs and torso, still have some detailing left for the arms, head and accessories to do

But MG Norn is awesome

Antihero who wields similar power to the protagonist is always a fan favourite

Cinematic view aside, I always appreciate black Gundam. It takes more skills and patience to prepare and assemble one. The nub trimming has to be precise, plastic warping is more evident on black pieces than white.

No, the only 'extra' you get is Unicorn part (head and chest piece) molded in Banshee color.

I got mine during the preorder, around RM260+

P-Bandai exclusive, 'realistic' version with a hole in the chest.

P-Bandai, Japan retail price + shipping already 250+, plus the markup cost by the shops, it's normal

Jesta looks bulky but it is actually very agile

IT Toys sometimes have this promotion on selected kits. RM30-RM50 slash for an MG is really a bargain.

It will be the glorious one ever.

Always clear coat the metallic part made by sharpie as the paint won't stick for long.

Not really. Normal clear spray paint (lacquer) are very common in hardware shops for RM5-RM10, if it's only to be used on these small details (booster or small inner frame parts), the spray grain is not noticeable. You don't need those Tamiya or Mr. Hobby grade clear paint for the accents, unless for maximum personal satisfaction.

That's what I personally do anyway.

Usually one spray can should last for 3 normal MGs without extravagant accessories/wings/backpack (i.e. Unicorn FA, Wing Zero Custom, Strike Freedom).

Weekend WIP, trying to evoke New York taxi color scheme

Unless you got meticulous hands and knife with laser-cutting machine precision, the nub marks are 100% unavoidable, that's why we paint it (after sanding).
