just saw the RG Wing Zero Custom review on Dalong.net

quite disappointed as not significant different from MG..
anyone else got the feeling that RG design have become lazy...
the RG line is to closer resemble the design in real world, that's what they say... wink.gif

Real world don't have gundams and giant robot as weapons inefficient.

Maybe the Real in Real Grade is actually Realism.

the fact that RG could do this pose is a big plus for me over the MG

Why? Did the MG had weak shoulder joint or the rifles are too heavy?

Ok. So it makes sense for people like me that do not know the full history since the 'normal' gundam is a RX-78-2. Hence they change the arm guard to become a shield?

Thanks guys smile.gif

When look at previous meijin's machine, this looks like have less armaments.
The Amazing Zaku and Kampfer have lots of weapons biggrin.gif.

hm...am I the only one not impress with Red Warrior design? looks kinda old school

It is old school!
It is perfect gundam 3! Amazing Red Warrior!

But still the design is new. If they used the old school design, it'll be bulkier/ chubby than this.

If ur paint base is acrylic, stick with acrylic coat. If ur paint base is lacquer u can use whichever u wan. If u didnt paint at all u can use whichever u wan.

Thanks. I bought both a long time ago only just now when i apply a topcoat that the question popped in my mind.

what would happen if my paint base is acrylic and i applied a laquer coat?
Will it ruin the paint?

Frame arms... i can't say whether it is good or not.
it depends on the design.
But if it is about the plastic parts design, i'd say it is alright.
my only cringe is its pre assembled architect frame.

However frame arms is not a good indicator for the new frame arms girls.
I have yet to assemble kotobukiya's character kits; kos-mos, archer girl, imperial knight. I did assemble their kits from hoi-hoisan line. They were ok, not great, not bad.

Still this is a new design. Let's just hope it'll be better.

I could sell you my old ones for cheap lol
You are welcome to have fun with it tongue.gif

In any case, I am not trying to undermine Koto, that was never the intention. Just my personal experience. Maybe others could chip in theirs too with Koto's kit? If most are talking the same, then it's not just me with unlucky teared polycap and loose everything sweat.gif

Not just you. Kotobukiya kits have small detail.
But some of their mold/ plastic runner designs are not at bandai level. The problem with plastic material composition also makes their kits prone to break/ loose after some time.
My advice for those buying frame arms, get the modelers edition frame architect and build your own. Test out the movement range and file the places that seemed to force the parts to break. Use cement to lock parts that form the joints.

My demon bane that i wanted to sell off had a torn hip ball joint. If i had the skills, i'd do a surgery on it.
