Just an example. But i think its quite possible with proper box size. hmm.gif

no it's not.. this is not something that you could make work with just box size.. say a box that fits 3-4 HGs for RM100.. fair? nope, i could just take 4 EXPO HGs or titanium finish ones and the price is already way above

no, i would like to just have a significant decrease as opposed to shop price, or at least match current yen rate/shop prices, so i can at least pick up something i fancy while i'm there, and not just look at the price, sigh and move on

Hi guys, newbie here, I like to ask if I lost the manual, is there any website that I can download the manual?
*
check places that sell kits like hobbysearch, they have scans of the entire manual.. dalong.net also has manual scans

also, searching using the unit's name, G-Exes would probably give u better results instead of the unit number

i recommend any of the newest HG line
they range from RM40-60 and they are absolutely fantastic.. they're sure to increase your interest in the gunpla hobby

lack of variety is also an issue.

i don't think variety is an issue when you're starting out

that's a problem for gunpla veterans whistling.gif

Hah, the best answer laugh.gif

Is your first Gunpla has to be Gundam type or you are OK with non-Gundam? I would like to suggest HGUC Banshee Norn [Destroy] for Gundam type and HGUC Jesta Cannon for non-Gundam type.

If you are a purist and have high confidence of your skills, then I think you should start with MG RX78-2 3.0, but then with those really high parts count, it may discourage you. The MG RX78-2 2.0 has more simplistic build, but then again why would you settle for a previous generation, which is 5 years older? biggrin.gif

i don't think UC kits are good to start with whistling.gif whistling.gif they might be abit intimidating for first timers
i would think those new HG kits are great, like HGCE Aile Strike, HGAC Wing Zero, HGAW Airmaster.. etc tongue.gif
or the HG Build Fighter series are great too

I was just browsing and Maoh was one of my choices ^^
I'll get it I think xD

I need tools, those cutters as well. Need to set up a little space for building  flex.gif

when i was starting out, i used nail clippers as my nippers and the normal stationary shop knife to clean nub marks, so no need for expensive cutters u may have to get rid of if you decide to stop after one kit laugh.gif

good choice! i definitely recommend that one, it's very fun to play and pose, but sad part is that he does not fully display some of the latest build technologies bandai has come up with since it's using an old 2010 mold whistling.gif

Did you paint the solar panel? Or is that sticker?

As answered above.. just use a Qtip to properly capture the details on the plastic itself (the plastic under the sticker has a very nice texture which comes across very nicely on the sticker if applied well)

if not mistaken the solar panels itself is textured, no?

Actually the sticker itself has some texture painted on, but u need to capture the profile on the plastic to really give it the surface to reflect light to give it the feel of the texture

can only dream of owning such things
but in reality.. can only own something like this cry.gif

my latest completed build.. gonna say it disappointed me a little.. the ball jointed hips really pissed me off, that bandai couldn't do better for this guy
but the whole kit is still quite solid, it uses the same construction as Delta variants, so anyone who has built one will be quite familiar with this.. it also means he uses the 'transformation block' to transform but at least you get a very solid waverider mode..
all in all, its a good addition to my growing zeta collection, but i still wish bandai did better.. but at least ZII won't have ball jointed hips, which is a win!

The RG EW series definitely got me excited.. wing as the new seed with 1 release per 3 RGs? I cant wait..
That being said though, no infinite justice? I thought that would definitely be the finisher for the RG SEED line
