IT Toys BTS selling PG Unicorn at 699. Haven't been looking around much these days so is this a good price?
*
That's the maximum acceptable price
Average market price is around 650-660
Only if you are lucky enough, can find those still selling at pre-order price of 600-640

but i'm asking how not to dirty the kit while shading. powder like tamiya weathering & pencil can easily stain other areas especially when you handle them while shading, i tried eraser it doesn't remove them well and will stain even more if eraser touch other shade areas.
*
I've heard that the Gundam Marker Eraser helps in removing the stain you mentioned, without affecting the paint/topcoat beneath

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone here has use Mr.Mark softer and Mr. mark setter for waterslide decals application. I'm interested in trying it, Juus a question. Does it ruin the paint job at the area you want to put your decal on or is it totally safe?
*
setter wouldn't affect your paint at as it only acts as a glue for decals to adhere to the surface

softer on the other hand, for lack of better word, 'melts' decals and paint together, so that decals would blend into the surface
it won't ruin your paint surface, but be careful not to apply too much, if not the paint would 'melt' too much and start to deform on the area which came into contact with the softer solution

good tip, dunno whether it works on painted kits or not, think it will screw up the lacquer base painted finish...
*
most likely not suitable, as lacquer are oil-based paint too

Not follow the GBF kits development story..
So this is just recolor?

Looks much better in traditional sense...
But Green is more daring and unconventional...
WHich one should I get..  unsure.gif
*
not only re-colour, redesigned too
compare the knees and the shoulder, it's different from Renascita
it's like a Wing TV and Renascita hybrid

Banshee Ver. Ka only the V-fin/horn is different from Unicorn, the rest of the body including the neck is the same as Unicorn

after Turn A Gundam, all new Gundam series' first main Gundam had maintained the proven generic height of 18 metres tall, I doubt it'll be the 90's formula of <18m

1st gen ew, completely different from the original anime/movies (1st gen original design appear for a brief moment as flashback in the movie, so ew has technically speaking retcon the entire 1st gen design).

2nd gen ew, only 2 has been/about to be made. DH is exactly the same while Altron is slightly different (additional wings n pew pew lazer tail adopted from the anime ver). So the answer to your question is both yes and no.

As for what the rest of the 2nd gen ew gonna look like nobody knows. The modification to Altron opens the flood gates for a similar alteration to the design for the remaining suits except for WZ.

WZ will remain the same as the movie ver. There is no difference in its depiction in GotL except for the additional attachment for the TRB like in the RG. When MG WZ ew is eventually release chances r they just use back the old molds + some runners for the attachment.
I do however wanted to point out to Bandai, u done fk up the naming convention. The movie is called endless waltz, the model is called ver ew but its base on GotL instead. Just name the damn line ver GotL and be done with it, would save us the trouble at least.....
*
well, if they don't add the wings and the backpack laser for Altron, it'll be a p-bandai-worthy release
same with Heavyarms Custom EW, if they don't add extra stuffs, it'll gonna be just a weapon swap, which spells P-B-A-N-D-A-I

Guys, discussion about stories goes to the anime section, if it's about the gundam designs still acceptable here

Not being a party pooper, but in the past we got into trouble with the mods for going off topic sweat.gif

For those asking for MG Kshatriya, Bandai had tried designing it years ago, but they said that making one with the technology then was too unfeasible.
The cost would be too high to be able to sell, reducing costs would only compromise the kit's structure. So they decided to put the idea on hold until a feasible technology appears.
I'm guessing the technology would be RE. RE currently is kinda still in test phase imo, if the line sells well, then Bandai probably will make Kshatriya

RG astray, the face there looks weird for me.
MG astray is the best for me.
PG astray proportion does not seems right for me.
and looks fat. MG much more slim and cool.
PG strike definitely the better choice.
*
That's because the MG is a redesigned, while the PG follows the original Astray design, where the legs are bulky
