    Bandai can't even keep Builders Parts on a decent production schedule. These aren't quite the same, but close:
    Detail Cover
    X Armor C

    They seem to be hinting at that with the giant 'fuck you rifle' arm and thruster leg options.

    I bought an entire random Zaku variant just for a machine gun (because Bandai isn't reissuing the Builders Parts weapon kits and the KOs are almost as expensive). I bought a Master Gundam just for Fuunsaiki. I paid mark-up prices for an Akatsuki just for the wings. These are the sacrifices you make when you want to custom.

    MG Unicorn Perfectibility is a big damn for me. I don't really like MG Unicorns...the RGs are a million times better...but I think I will swing for this in lieu of ever getting an RG of it.

    Damn, how would one in the US go about getting that Real Type color Flight Gouf? It looks amazing even though I'm aware of the kits limitations.

    Ebay, or have someone in Tokyo pick one up for you.

    I've had this note tucked in the GP01's box since 2014 and I just taped it to my supply shelf..

    Step 5 has been underway for a while now, but I need to make an addendum to Step 7, Hire Anthony Hopkins to be my orator.

    I didn't realize God Gundam had gone up for pre-order, kind of bummed I missed it but I imagine I'll still be able to get one. Astray is still fairly easy to snag and I feel like it's a way more popular suit.

    Oh I know. I don't think about it as its akin to highway robbery!

    Hey there is this gunpla seller at a fall anime con I go to every year that is hitting up GBT for exclusives and bringing them back to sell. Thats how I got my HG Unicorn Perfectibility. Its in October...I can keep a eye out for it if you haven't gotten it by then.

    I keep waiting for them to say RG Phenex and then you can cobble everything together between the three Suits.

    Do any of you have experience with conversion kits? I've only recently become aware of this side of the hobby. The Industriac 1/100 Geara Doga conversion kit looks interesting as does the Infinite Dimension the NT-1 Alex resin kit.

    Side question: are omochajapan or museigenhobby reputable sites?

    Do you have any experience with resin at all? Because that stuff requires a bit more effort and preparation to deal with.

    Omocha is partnered with gundamkitscollection, so I imagine they're legit.

    Makes sense. No I don't have any experience with it. Will just admire from afar then. :p

    Quickest build of a High Grade yet, 5 hours from it being on my doorstep to it standing completed.

    Though the Zock is a special case, with its simple joints and symmetrical design.

    getting an MG QanT Full Saber on Friday at $40, looks like I may be saving $20 on it. that brings my backlog to 9 MGs, 1 Peeb Fin Funnel kit, and two cars.

    Finished painting the hands, just so I can hit them with some panel accent. Letting it dry for the night and I will clean it up with the last bits of paint in the panel gaps. then it's up to the head.

    Attaching the Great red crest on the chest makes me wish INFINITISM line would continue beyond Go Nagai's designs and make a Gurren Lagann.

    It's really nice to have a sniping MS that can actually hold onto its rifle. Sorry GM Sniper Custom, you're cool and all but you would be cooler if you could actually aim your sniper rifle without fumbling it.

    Do any of y'all have one of those GP Bases? I was wondering what size the peg at the base of the arm was. The end that plugs into the rotating bit on the base, not the one that gives your gunpla a digital exam.

    You mean this one?

    Looks like it's just a round peg.
    It's been a while since I've put mine together, so I don't remember. :p

    Yeah, round peg. Looks like my brain ate the word "size" when I made my original post.

    I got a Maganac recently. I wanted a version similar to the P Bandai, Rasid Custom. I used a Weapons Campaign kit to change his left arm 20190710_115425.jpg 20190710_115928.jpg 20190710_115641.jpg
