    From the looks of things, and no accurate size to go by, it's going to be a nonscale relative to 1:144 scale. Curious to see how this works out, Kind of exciting how it's Real Grade engineering for something Bandai could just as easily do as a FigureRise High Grade...
    ..Though I'm afraid we're walking right into what Hideaki Anno hates the most about merchandising in regards to Eva as a whole if the next LABO models are Plug Suits and Swimsuit Eva Girls.

    Although I would't mind a PetitGuy style PenPen model.

    I used to have a PenPen keychain. Had to take it off when I worked at the Park because too many keys. Penguins are awesome.

    Bandai wants me to use a giant red sticker for the mouthguard's chin. I say fuck that, I'll display it without that piece and instead use Nadaleh's face and pigtails, but without the beard.

    gave 007sword and Dynames some GN Drive green stands as well. I should get 1/100 NG Kyrios when I order another clear base for Avalanche and QanT

    RE Gun-Ez isn't that much more complex than a larger HG.
    I was actually building something else but I wanted to finish something in one night and here it is.

    [​IMG]

    Going to build Gunblaster when I am tired of other kits again.

    Definitely a must buy for me even though Infinitism Mazinger Z is still in my backlog. Hope they branch out to Getter Robo soon!

    I really need to get the Alto Yellow. My orange close combat upgrade set just didn't work out on Alto Blue but on Yellow it looks great.

    And I would like to get some customize parts BUT god knows I have a large enough Gunpla backlog...

    I want to get the grey Alto for the white secondary armour so I can make a proper yellow and white Alto.

    Ahhhhhhh I have such big plans for 30MM I hardly even own any yet!

    I really wanted to see how many things I could load into the Alto like this. Unfortunately I just ran out of things to give it.

    I've seen those Unofficial Clones but never thought to try one, tempted once to get the Barbatos Type 6.

    About the plastic quality, what's it like? Matte standard or did it try to do the gloss finish as the original kit?

    I suckered myself into getting the official Wing EW when it was announced, it's one of my favorite eccentric Katoki redesigns I'll build in just about any Grade.

    Seeing your post gave me the idea to open the Wing's box for a bit. Couple of things stirred my curiosity like seeing if that mix of gray paint I came up with for the Furai Models is a good match. Yes by the way, more on that later. And because I was looking at more of the God Gundam reviews, and felt I needed to build some kind of HiRM.
    Not sure how I feel about it, but I'm not compelled to finish Wing Zero right now.

    20191104_190549.jpg

    The frame on Wing Zero kept cracking apart so it's hard to feel enthused about working on it. So I haven't done anything to the Wing's skeleton except the preliminary disassembly and some panel detailing on the exposes joints..
    My chief grievance, I hate the hands.

    The tedious start , sorting what I need from the duplicate runners.. surplus in the pile to the left, the proper colors above the manual.

    You can see on the skirt plates I started with some panel accent, which I won't use on the inner frame parts, for obvious abs safety concerns.

    20191104_204635.jpg

    One thing caught my attention is the manual suggests which color of the duplicate parts to use, but I know this Wing is meant to have the two toned blue on white skirts in the front and back. So, I opted to make it my own way.

    all parts have been snapped. gotta detail it now. Dark Matter Exia is next, followed by Avalanche Exia. Virtue's cannon effects are simply its own beam sabers taped to the inside of the rails.

    just waiting for another green base and for the inevitable MG Kyrios announcement.

    Dope pics, what do you use for your background? It reminds me of Hacchaka and I've been wondering about that marble look for a while.
