I've just got to complain about Bandai waterslide decal. I find the durability is inferior to third party decal (particularly the brand with abbreviation of 'DL' ). While Bandai decals are usually more precise in the printing department, third party decals can deal with harsher abuse.

On that note, is the official RG Unicorn decal already for sale? I can't continue the build without it.

Yes indeed bandai water decal is much more delicate and require careful handling during apply, soak in water too long or trying to re position will easily break it. Would recommend 3rd party like dalin which is good in term of both precise printing and durability.

fake news, they are currently focusing on PG Millennium Falcon anyway..

Obviously u guys never handled samuel decals before.

They are the thinnest but small touch will scratch the printing even unused.

Samuel decal was in-used before when there were no DL decals in circulation. Modellers now when they mention third party WSD, it means DL or third-party Generic Japanese marking. They are generally better. I dont know why Bandai have poor WSD, china has been churning out good quality decals recently. Other Japanese brands have good in-box WSD (Hasegawa for example) and some third party Japanese brands also produce quality decals that wont get destroyed if you move it.

Making 2 rg unicorns at the same time, not complicated but damn repetitive process, fml

I've checked that out before. Not sure why it's so popular. Looks very plain to me.

I've actually gotten the Johnny Ridden zaku

You'll be surprised with MG Jesta, great articulation although it's big and chunky, cool military design and color, LED-able, and the weapons are not heavy so the 2.0 manipulators have no trouble holding them.

Agreed, it's one of my nightmare putting on the ver. Ka decals on hg banshee

I understand the great articulation from the reviews but the overall look of the kit just doesn't appeal to me.

I guess you have to build it to appreciate it. Well, to each for his own, I didn't feel excited when I got it (them, actually, I bought three during warehouse sales ), but after I was done, holy shit, it's one great grunt unit kit

Rider Kick

No more gaming? More building?

I've went to checked out the sniper extensively. I understand that it's a great solid kit. It's just that the overall aesthetic doesn't excite me.

I like things with a lot of dakka. I can barely just get away with Johnny Ridden Zaku cause of its thruster legs. Without them, I couldn't get myself to buy a zaku.

I guess I don't do well with normal grunt kits. Just my own taste I guess..

why not both

hmm just started assembling the zaku yesterday, now digging my brains out deciding what color scheme to go for.............................

Some people here should stop abusing report function.

lol wooot.....

Also here's my first attempt at airbrushing. Preshade came out too subtle to my liking. Was a bit overzealous when spraying the main coat.
