Understand, another question
Gamers Arena Sazabi seems to sold out already, saw it last month but few weeks back when i go again there's none left, wonder if they will restock it again sad.gif
my display have a big empty space at the left and Nu Ver.ka on the right, waiting for Sazabi to fill in  cry.gif

if you go hobby link japan would cost you around 7200yen for the kit and shipping 3700yen its a back order thing guess it will be long wait.

should be around rm350 if you go direct from japan, from china taobao its gonna be around rm280 just for the kit and depends on how you ship it here thats goin to save you money.

never try amazon though heard its gonna be the same coz shipping from japan is higher coz quality services (never out of shape)

kits like these have to be patience if you want to save money coz lost of people collecting it...

Thanks for the detail info notworthy.gif
Guess i might ask the COD seller that sell me PG Unicorn and Nu Ver.ka, remember he mentioned that he still have stock and price at 315 (same as Gamers Arena), his price is quite on par with gamers arena and good service too so perhaps that's the most convenient way to get a hold of Sazabi

p.s: just pm him, reserved 1 unit to be picked up next mth rclxm9.gif
now asking if he has the effect parts which release this month?
*
ohh? can pm me his contacts? might have buy some pg from him too...

Elyn Kshatriya Review

Can check out above china web review on this kit, eventhough it is not as per advertised but the kit itself still quite good but for me is not value to money.

can try translate link above to understand more, the review is quite comprehensive...

no thanks. Not here to look for trouble smile.gif
just for sharing plus I am pretty new in painting

hehe im not so sure but the trouble look for me, so dunno when will be your turn.. haters gonna hate, dunno when they will hate you...

by the way look like the color separation is dark grey and metallic black?

every try black pearl? look amazing if you mix it with glossy black with back pearl.

also for the gold can try normal gold mix with chrome silver, not so yellowish with extra metallic finish.

been trying it for so long at that's my findings...

Too much info haha
Nah using midnight blue only, no other color. Was trying to follow Banshee color scheme.
The gold will be darker gold instead the yellowish one.
Overall I am going flat instead of glossy.

Did customized your arm and side skirt? Saw some review can improve articulation and avoid side skirt fall off problem.

my skirt didn't fall though. was tempting to separate the left and right skirt (coz it is 1 piece).
Arm i only cut out some part on left hand so that it can mount shield.

can i see the review for the improvement?

Here you go
http://accal0722.blog.163.com/blog/static/...20156424341550/

It's in Chinese May be you can try google translate it.

For the arm articulation I just watched it through another Chinese youku video review. But I didn't save the link, but he did mention that he actually referred hguc zz articulation posted online.

But for the love of gunpla may be I later share with you after I started my dryon drei project.

Unsure about chances but sure is hard to get them as many try to collect them but for mg grade only la.

Ver ka gp02 would rocks coz it's a mechanically macho design.

I really like how bandai they do chrome except that it is still attached to a runner which means, there is still a nub no matter how careful you are on cutting it from the runners. Anyway, RG = auto buy
*
hopefully they give metal katana or at least non runner katana as a 1st batch specials rclxm9.gif

long shot hoping for the that but really hope that give something useful instead of giving game card like tryon3 sad.gif

for bare plastic, I've been using Oil paints (from any art shop) and rectified turpentine (oil paints can be thinned with linseed oil as well). It works like enamel wash but much easier. After 8hrs, (i usually do panel line before I sleep) I can do clean up with q-tips but no thinner is needed to do the clean up since the oil paint is still have not dried. (my problem with enamel that once it has dried, it can easily stain plastic)

good tip, dunno whether it works on painted kits or not, think it will screw up the lacquer base painted finish...

i wonder if there will be more Gundam or is this a single Gundam Story
since Barbatos is from the past and they somehow dig it out, it might turn out to be like Turn A, where they dig out more of these Gundams

As for design, I was a fans of non-UC for a while back then, but now totally devote to UC series design which appear to be more solid, squarish and mechanical.
The only non-UC i might want to get atm is RG Astray (for the amazing articulation) and RG Strike/MG Strike Ver.RM laugh.gif
*
i'm a big fan of uc series too, may be its too mature and boring for some so other variants series came out too.

really miss the gundam team effort back then instead of one man show or boyband combination, but thats the market trend now uncle tastes is way over...

still remember the space and earth variants design, but not a big fan of transformable to plane design.

i'm also a big fan of armored versions like they do it in thunderbolt series...

well basically he did mentioned others so shud include those as well including turn a.

but i do like the story concept of 00 not the gundam design though...

g reconguista is a bit too Miyazaki Hayao taste to me, its good but out of gundam topic.

i always fantasizing of having a bit of seed msv storylines of junk collector or space pirate concept.

have to put the so called newtype shit to an end already, gundam x is just so and so too...

I always feel that 0083 is the most serious among the other, since from beginning to the end its all about war, and the main even got caught and prisoned?
*
0083 are among the series which the hero doesn't have the so called new type abilities hence not much popularity for those series but for me its quite good on the overall of this series.

its all about not giving up during the hard time that japan went through economy bubbly burst, so not all people like that kind of weak hero crawling to succeed.

most people just love absolute power from the gundam itself.
