I don't mind God Gundam, the MG build is way outdated.

I rather spend that much (actually, a fraction of that) money on really sharp blades and quality filer.

Well... Cough*alternative*cough

This looks much more amazing than PG 00R.

But the use of the new lighting could mean that we may not get the rotating GN Drive gimmick.


That's good isn't it.

Well.... cough*alternative*cough is imminent.

But I would like to see more of the sample kits, sometimes Bandai make improvements to their prototypes. The arms and legs look bigger. Then again, same goes to ARF, the MG looks much sleeker and the RG balances it out between the MG and PG.

Bandai water decal is absolutely the worst in quality.

Which is ironic that their products are inferior to other manufacturers. I like DaLin a lot since their decals are more durable to abuse and really stay on the pieces.

*Cough*

Still haven't finished with RG Unicorn.

It just came to me how much I hate to do masking for RG pieces. HG is still bearable since there are less details, but with RG there are nooks and crannies that you have to be careful of

Should have used third party water slide decal.

But congratz.

I remember there was a third party waterslide decal for PG granddaddy, but definitely not Dalin or Samuel.

Yeap. I can't forget that A4-sized sheet.

Nah I saw them on ebay. Maybe you'll find it in Taobao.

Good (very hot) weather lately for drying painting and drying

Might as well use cheapo cutter if you have to be that careful It's like driving lowered car in bumper-prone areas

Well, I'm not questioning the efficiency of God Hand as I've used it a couple of times (not mine). While it was impressive, the cutting result was still not as per what I could achieve with proper blade and often need further trimming and filing.

Other people might be content with the result so if they can afford it, that's great, especially for OOB builders. For me, I always paint my kits even though I don't customize them so reasonably well-trimmed pieces are important, something I just can't achieve with nipper alone.

And reading the precautions from the reddit post, if I was compelled to be delicate when using those expensive nippers, then the alternative is obvious: get a disposable RM5 side cutter and I can cut on the big runner piece itself.

Sometimes stressing or flashing is unavoidable, you could say that the defect is in the mold. If I don't heavily customize the kit, I would just paint that piece (and its counterpart on another leg or arm, or whatever piece that's correspond with it).

Yes naturally.

LMAO.

No. For MG, you need to do the gold trim yourself.

Marker : The easiest way, but it won't be shiny.
Decal : This is the retard way, you'll most likely end up throwing the kit at the wall.
Paint : This is the most sensible way. Just concentrate on the masking part and the result is worth it.

As expected, RG Banshee for first 2018 RG release.

Bonus point for it being the Norn.
