    NICE!

    hopefully it goes for sale like the RX-78F00 if they decide to do another gunpla event like last summer

    I suppose I always did need an excuse to get another RG Nu...

    The RG looks pretty nice but I am leaning more towards the Entry Grade. Namely because I had no interest in the normal Entry Grade without the fin funnels and so this Type F comes with the unique mega long funnel.

    Totally. F***ing. Called it!!!
    Here's hoping they're making it available through P.B US before the next Expo.

    I just want the Fin Funnel! .... wait.. TWO of them!! LONG RANGE DOUBLE FIN FUNNEL CUSTOM!!

    -
    After much internal debate, I'm starting on PG Red Frame Kai.
    Paints are ready, and I was spitballing ideas for the Lichtblau pattern.

    20220120_000834.jpg

    So far, just for raised slopes like on the shoulders and the bands around the outside of the legs. There will be more.
    Not shown is the gold chrome plated parts sitting in a bath of degreaser for the night.

    neat
    [​IMG]
    also, I bring a gift:
    [​IMG]
    Gunpla Shoppers Network code is about to expire unfortunately
    well, AEUG Mk II is no longer available for Pre-Order so there goes my idea of having all the main Nahel Argama mobile suits from ZZ (as I already have ZZ ver Ka), and also my idea to have all of the main Gundams from each UC show and movie I saw:

    Origin: might buy MG Origin. See below
    MSG: I have nothing except an HG Revive of Gramps. I discovered RX-78-2 ver. Ka has a dated inner frame (and by that I mean the arms have no frame) which really soured my liking of it. If I'm to get an RX-78 in 1/100 form my current thoughts are the base exclusive RX-78F00, MG 3.0, or MG Origin. Unfortunately, that means the price will always be over $50 for it, but the fact that Origin has so many accessories makes me like it, but 3.0 is based on the RG which is based on the first statue so there's a lot of details. The statues are also why I'm looking at RX-78F00, and they're also why I'm looking for the higher-detailed ones to display with a Saturn V model kit I'm still looking around for at a decent price.
    08th: my MG Ez8. Have no interest in Ground Gundam or any of the GMs and Zakus from that series,lus I don't think the MG Gouf Custom is available anywhere.
    War In the Pocket: I haven't looked at any as I don't like any of the Mobile Suits in that OVA. Plus I don't really have any liking for the Chobam Armor, either I slap it on or I leave it on the runner to collect dust.
    Stardust: I have GP01Fb Zephyranthes Full Burnern, GP02A Physalis, GM Custom, GM Quel. Considering GP03S Stamen to fill up gaps in my display box where they are.
    Zeta: none, unless you count my GM Quel. Would like to have Zeta 2.0, Hyaku Shiki 2.0, and Mk. II AEUG but BBTS currently only has Mk. II Titans available for preorder.
    ZZ: I have Double Zeta ver Ka
    CCA: I got Nu ver Ka, Hi-Nu ver Ka, Sazabi ver Ka, Nightingale re/100
    UC: I own Full Armor Unicorn ver Ka, MG Banshee OVA, and MG Unicorn Perfectibility
    NT: Upgraded my MG Phenex to have NT tails so that counts, right?
    F91: I have an MG F91 2.0 that I impulse bought.
    Victory: i got the 1/60 V2
    G-Reco: doesn't count, I don't care what Tomino keeps changing his answer to.
    Turn-A: see above

    I'm also looking at Buster Gundam because I remembered recently that before I built RG Zeta as my first gunpla, when I was 11 my cousin gifted me a prebuilt Buster Gundam. I can't recall if this is Entry Grade or First Grade.
    [​IMG]to say it sucked is an understatement.[​IMG]I no longer have this kit but iirc the guns could combine, but it can't hold the combined weapons with both arms.[​IMG][​IMG]

    I have had a bunch of preorders at BBTS... they kind have been languishing.

    They were supposed to come months ago. Are they just sitting at a port or something?

    Sorry, maybe I'm missing something but that image text is cut off. Where can we purchase that stand? Seems really nifty and I'd love something like that for my MG Virtue.

    I picked up my first Gundam kit from Meijer the other day. A 1/144 scale RX one. Had fun building it. I have no skills to paint it or do more, but happy with it as is. May get another if I see one. $15 or so each is fine every now and then.

    I'm told it's by a "Spot Studio" [​IMG]
    Its not releasing until June. It will be sold on websites like Gundamit or gundammodelcenter . I don't have any direct sources on hand except for this Chinese forum Sina Visitor System

    Seems that 2 kits will be going up tonight.
    Shame that despite the mass reissues of F90 packs and MS’ in Japan, we won’t be getting any other F90 kits other than the Zeon variant.

    I'm going to say.. "Not tonight Bandai. No F90 Mission Packs, no Independence Army variant."

    Lord Astray will come around again later. I have the Red Frame in progress! I opened this kit in 2020, built the original types backpack. Benefits of the Kai edition is I still have everything of the original.

    20220120_121626.jpg

    Now more primer. Plan is red stripes and fins, steel nozzle lines.

    The other work started two years back is the third party Caletvwlch. All the blade components are built but now I'm painting the cowling.

    20220120_183401.jpg

    I still have to get fresh chrome before I get to the blades themselves.

    Meanwhile, the plan is still plain gold. The parts have been in a bath uninterrupted 24 hours.

    20220120_162838.jpg

    A rinse cycle to finish.

    Meanwhile, Hi Nemo!

    I don't even know where to start. I'm inclined to start with a Kamen Rider kit and work my way up to the PG, since I know it'll take me a long time to finish. But I've been waiting for the Virtue and Zeong for a while now. Help me, fellow builders! What do I build first?

    1. FRS Kamen Rider W
    2. FRS Kamen Rider Hibiki
    3. FRS Kamen Rider OOO
    4. FRS Try-chaser 2000
    5. RG Zeong
    6. MG Gundam Virtue
    7. PG Unleashed RX-78-2

    Looks like something similar is up on Gundamit. I'm not sure if it's the same, because it's not from "Spot Studio", but rather this one is Effect Wings. I've purchased and built some of their other stuff (RG Nu Fin Funnel expansion set, RG Hi Nu Hyper Mega Bazooka) and they are good quality.

    That's the million dollar question, nobody really knows since communication is poor with all parties. In all honesty they probably won't be getting anything they put up if this should be any indication...

    did anyone see how long the F90 Zeon and Load Astray were up for? Asking out of curiosity.

    While I'd personally recommend one of the Riders, those are some pretty cool Mobile Suits as well.

    Looks like I've got myself a project for winter break / CNY. HWS and fin funnels / effects for RG Hi-Nu.

    As a side note, apparently Nu's name in Chinese is cow, and Hi-Nu is manatee. :lol
