i wont ever buy HG RG all the way

whatever it is cannot compare to hard and soul of a modeler make it way better shine. Personally of all the RG i hate Sinanju the most due to it so floppily and falling apart everywhere when posting.

I thought the RG zeta is worst

RG Zeta only flaw is the arm part connect to the chest prone to breakage however other than that it can pose and play very well but sinanju haizz can't even pose anything other than falling off bit and pieces from here and there. It a completely waste of rg frame where it cannot support it own weight and most annoying is it can't even hold it own Rifle gun.

MG/PG is the wea

HG all the way. I rather see my display cupboard with 100++ various mobile suits in HG than 2-10 mainstream mobile suit you are already bored with it in RG,MG,PG which is lack of variations.

This came from person who only collect only MGs in 1st year of gunpla hobby 9 years ago.

Though P-Bandai now makes me stop collect niche mobile suits

haha most reason i collect MG becos to stay away all those variations which end up giving more bigger hole in the wallet. Otherwise Resin kit conversion all the way if you want variations.

But HG is cheap as low as Rm30 which is no problem to me. Already survey resin kit market, most conversion resin kit are just a detailed version of existing kit, e.g. MG Strike Freedom. B-Club is out of reach and never make new release anymore. Been eyeing RG conversion kit GP00 Blossom but rather wait in HG or RE100

Same here!! I swore to only focus on MG but actually I'm buying hell of a lot more of HG and RG kits.

I can't really bring myself to like scale of HG and RG (except for big kits like kshatriya). BTW, are older kits like Zaku II Johnny Ridden weaker in terms of plastic quality? I've did 2 MG (red frame bandai and strike noir (DM)), the dragon momoko was the first kit I've ever painted with a lot of mistakes. But it didn't really break or anything when I was putting the kits back together.

The plastic of the zaku seems very weak (post paint). Did the paint made it a lot weaker? I've so far broken 3 parts already.

Sometime old/aged plastic kits may not so strong but I have yet to encounter any yet, maybe you put too much force with your thumb ? And yes lacquer paint do have corrosion element same with panel line too, so it could eat and stick to plastic surface.

Although I don't have much building/painting experience but this kit really did gave me a crap ton of problems. Broken parts here and there. And it don't even have a single water decal which is astoundingly disappointing. Luckily I have a lot of left overs from the gigantic sheet of water decal from dragon momoko (the irony).

I did prime the parts though. Maybe I did cause the parts became tighter cause of the extra layers of paint. I'll try to spray less on the inner part to prevent it from becoming too thick.

omg........ but it still look 'fat'... lol

It is not about size. It is the value of the kit.
Big isnt always better. See the old NG kits.
The palm size means you can display it everywhere including on office table. More flexible to play and good for photography shot. Smaller kit good for macro shot.

Belum cuba belum tahu.
Just focus on newest HG or go into RG line. Its improved so much like MG already.

I understand that it could be cheaper, better value but I have this preference on MG scale. I don't know why though. I think PG is too big and HG/RG being too small.

It's just a preference thing. But I might try switching when it became stale... currently venturing in to 1/100 Reborn... gonna see how it's like..

BTW, does older kit has weaker plastic in your experience..

I dont know why people keep think big is better. Maybe they already see the goodness of MG and no longer look back at other grade such as HG. Used to think that way too so the 1st gunpla kit I bought is the MG and broke it

In my case I dont exclusively collect in certain grade/scale because I equally like all of them. The interest keep grow over time (for example I dont really like grunt units when I was beginner but now I collect them more like Gundam units)

It is not because it is old plastic. ABS plastic is known weaker to lacquer based paint. So Bandai often recommend acrylic based paint for painting instead.

Avoid paint inner frame with lacquer based paint and you will fine.

Better is not my point though. My point is my preference is MG. It's a personal thing, I don't mean other grades are bad. lol BTW, I only have 3 kits, so my taste my change later

Most of my problems are not on ABS though. It's the armor piece. Maybe it's my problem, cause I used too much force.

Take your time to play, I had same problem like you on first few kits painted build since no much experience things doesn't go really well. Once you get used to it you can make a nice and beautiful kits too.

Maybe zaku kits has tighter parts cause dragon momoko kit actually gave me less problems. Eh..... What to do la.. Deal with it lol

Which zaku kits you having problem with? MG Zaku 2.0?
