that's the one I was talking about
I suddenly feel the urge to have some bling bling gundam. Is there any difference between Shiranui Akatsuki and Oowashi Akatsuki Gundam besides the backpacks? I mean quality or articulation...

yeah, actually I was planning to get the Shiranui ver. Just wondering if Oowashi had better articulars
Hyakushiki is nice, but I'm more interested in Akatsuki for several reasons
- GS Fan
- Akatsuki head looks much better
- nicer backpack

where's the gun?
the gun needs to be there!

hey, was wondering if the kit really loses its color. Can solve this using Top Coat spray or not?

haven't tried that before. Anyone care to share experience?

If you like it, why not?
and...post the link. Not the image

I see a red Crossbone

problem is which to pick. Damn Ban Dai really know how to make money
I'm not choosing Shiranui Akatsuki also for that reason. The backpack is like Infinite Justice (& Saviour) which I already have. Will almost look exactly the same. I want something different
Buying both is a big nono
and Cosmic Region's Akatsuki...although has both backpacks and has its own custom stand, looks...weird. The shoulders are just...off

yup, most people go for Flat Top Coat. I think those used in Bakuc are also Flat Top Coats rite?

oops

hahah...that pose is great!

now honeymic is telling me to wait for 1/100 Akatsuki to come out before buying. How?
I prefer 1/100 models coz 1/144 size is just too small

I agree...throwing dagger part is just plain stupid. But what I like about the design of Blu Duel is the armor hanging on its shoulder. Yes, it will only "protect" one side of the mecha...but I just like that design

I picked the last option

custom paint?
or there's always the Gold & Silver plated markers
but for air brush users...I think there are plenty of metallic colors around for them.

problem is there are only gold and silver colors. Nothing else. So unless you're planning to have you model in only gold and silver...markers are not much of a solution.
the effects of plated markers? See it for yourself

dude, your Eva-01 Extra Finish is damn nice
how much was it?

yes, panel lines is a must...
unless you air brush

Starghazzer - did you see the BuCue there? Typical of Ban Dai to use back old parts and make a new model kit out of it

heretic6 - can show me pics of your Strike Nior?

was there any panel lining? Can't see

You like BuCue? I don't really like it. Color also not nice
