Wow, nice!
Where did you get the funnel effect? Bcoz of you i also bought clear color Sazabi. This will be 3rd Sazabi.

Btw, special coating is really expensive. Hope you have a wonderful time building it.

I get it from Shopee for RM35, seller name mrrobattosan. thumbup.gif

yeah manage to influence u tongue.gif tongue.gif ..

About the special coating sazabi, i have 2 kits tongue.gif .. at 1st PO from seller to get special price, RM499. Normal price i saw for ready stock is RM548.
than got another seller offer RM430, quickly grab it sweat.gif

so, thats how i get 2kits thumbup.gif ..

Clear colour and special finish kits are worth collecting but unfortunately, not many people collect because they don't see the kits in person, they don't understand why it's so expensive lol
*
yup agreed.. especially those special coating, dammm beauuuuuuutifoool..
but for the case of Sazabi.. the MG ver ka special coating might not be the best choice due to the nub marks.. base on some review I read.. and bloody expensive sweat.gif
that's why I go wit the RG ver, as most of armor is under gate.. so might be more easier at least compare to MG ver ka biggrin.gif

Yeah, most collectors don't know how hard it is to achieve the same level of finishing on normal kits if they have to paint themselves. If you guys don't believe me, try doing your own titanium finish/metallic coating.
*
If you did custom paint job before than u will know how hard to do that and risk to do mistake which might cause you the whole paint job to be disaster sweat.gif ..
besides, special coating parts need to undergo a secondary process of coating to achieve those effect and color after molded out which add extra cost to it.. sweat.gif

the box also thicker although the same no of runners:

it is due to the packaging of individual runner for the special coating.. to avoid scratches I guess sweat.gif

Some like PG Unicorn/Exia has their LED set sold separately.

Size-wise, yes. But I rate it based off complexity, RG detail-wise is almost if not more complex than MG, so I rate it higher because of tiny parts smile.gif
*
Agreed, RG is higher to MG due the complexity of the tiny parts.. need to be extra careful or u will break it.. MG is easy on your finger..
Used to like MG, but now a days switch to RG after assembled RG Zeong biggrin.gif .. and also current RG is with the latest tech such as undergate which help a lot when removing those nub marks sweat.gif

I feel u bro sweat.gif .. my solution is i do at night/early morning (after 12am) after both my sons sleep.. this consider a ME time for me.. but need to sacrifice sleeping hour sweat.gif

as i still enjoy this hobby so much and need to be a good dad, definitely need to sacrifice..

i do on weekend mostly, current have some idea to do custom project.. so the progress is very slow, i spent around 2-3 hours than go to sleep..

Can't imagine what would happened to me when I get married and have kids...It is coming soon... sad.gif
Having able to do 1-2 hours daily consider super luxury time for most of us cry.gif

When I was young with lot's of time => No money to buy
When I get older with able to afford any kits I want => No time to build

Chill bro, its just a hobby.. how u spent time before married and after married should be different.. once u have a baby, than its going to be totally 360 degree different biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
Now adays, if i need to choose between gunpla and sleep time.. most of it would be sleep tongue.gif .. like i said its just a hobby biggrin.gif
