    I am building it along with the shield booster expansion for the high mobility version :)  I had the Hrududu but got rid of it because I wont have any space to display so it was just going to be a waste of time and effort.

    I looked that Dritz fray check stuff up on my local amazon, almost forty euros.... that is a LOT for a 3/4 ounce bottle IMHO.

    Their price for the US is a bit high too. for a two pack it's $9.43, and $6.76 for a single. It's cheaper for me to go to a local craft store or see if my local Walmart has it.

    I've got the Shield Boosters for the MG, and for the HGUC Advanced Hazel, I've got two HruDudu and the Thruster Expansion coming.

    Is it weird that I want this shitty dumb vehicle thing just for the head and thigh add-ons?

    You want to make your own Gunhead.

    *draws a long breath for impending sigh*
    I jumped on getting the reissue Real Grade R3 because this didn't exist.

    ... looks like Bandai found a way to bait me into making a pre-order this month.

    Man, I might just bite the bullet and nab MG Mk.V if it's still up for pre-order when March rolls around alongside the Heavy Armor upgrade for the Geminass 02. I keep going back to look at the bloody thing all the time and it would be interesting on my shelves because it certainly doesn't look like a conventional Gundam.

    Also, Todesritter and Pale Rider Space Type arrive tomorrow according to the tracking number. Can't wait.

    I have done the original Red Zaku warrior, and it's an excellent model kit, I liked it enough to order the P-bandai green Zaku phantom. I'm waiting for it now, it has just been sent to me last week.
    I also ordered the Ginn MG, based on the same mold with some visual modifications.

    It's a very solid, but simple MG very much designed with troop building in mind.

    Which is why it's galling that the only mass-release version of it is in Elite custom (Luna's) colours. Even the actual MP grunt colours are P-Bandai.

    By the way, I have a question about 3rd party waterlide decals. I'm lookin for a RG Zeong one. I saw Evolution studio made a version, and I'd like to order it.

    Problem is : there are some sellers for it on ebay, but the prices are way too high, or the shipping costs to France seems insane to me. Do you know some shops where I can order it for a decent price ?

    I personnally don't think it's such a simple MG. There is a lot going on with the backpacks, and while the arms are quite simple indeed, legs, torso and head have some intricate parts.

    But, obviously, if you can army build some MG Fazz like Wrecker217, this one may feel like a basic Leo ;)

    It's certainly very simple if you compare it to the MG Zaku 2.0. Very little internal mechanics going on in the ZAKU Warrior frame, with none of the layered frame detail of that mold.

    What it is however is more detailed, at least on a surface level. It's a more aggressive and "heroic" looking design than the Zaku-classic, befitting the fact that in SEED Destiny, the ZAKU were mostly on the side of the "good guys" for the majority of the series.

    The best advice I could suggest is trying to find a seller actually based in France, but I feel your pain. I've been looking into getting some generic style slides to spruce up my kits and shipping is insane even to the States because it's all flat rate.

    Final assembly on the Hyaku Shiki 2.0 today. I didn't want to have to keep switching eyes so I went with a hybrid. Sprayed clear black on the lens piece and used the eye sticker behind it. You can see the eyes but they are very subtle.
