I'm currently working on MG Shenlong. Dragonfang, upper torso, waist and staff are done....and I even slapped some stickers on dem! EVEN THE RUB ONS! .......All the rub ons.....Holy crap I'd rather be doing decals. At least with those I can play with positioning....rub ons you can't really after you press....pre-press yeah, post-press.....no. I've been trying to drop hints to ppl I know that I want either the FA RX-78-3 7th Gundam or the Thunderbolt for my birthday. aaaannnnd all I got was a stupid Fing like.

I got nothing.

WOW! Dear god does she look horrible Guess that happens at 74.

Yeah I'm fast when I find out wtf I"m doing and how. I use Krylon or Rustoleum Paint when I do paint jobs. There's tons of colors, different variety and you don't need to primer them most of the time to get the results you want. My blue I got on 1 coat of paint and still got plenty left to where if the MG Hi-Nu Ver Ka is any bit awesome as I'm hoping, I will get a 2nd to make the same color variant as this 1/144. Pondering on buying a customized decal set for this so I can further enhance it and make it even more awesome.

Yeah, you're pretty much wrong, but no one will think of you differently for it. It's been stated since Zach Snyder took over that this wouldn't be anything like the Nolan serious type of batman...this would be more comic book like, but I don't think any of us actually understood what that meant until Snyder admited he's a big fan of the DKR story I'm all for it, I just don't want this to seem like a carbon copy of DKR's with just bruce being younger. -
I'm done! Hi-V Gundam Hikuro Custom. Let's see Star build take this thing on! I'll beat it's ass!
-
dear god....this will be very epic.

More Zeon RG suits, I'm all for. Yeah I forgot, NT-Alex would be a nice RG kit imo. Maybe some GM kits? Like a Powered GM, or Sniper kit? I've started my own Hi-Nu, it's a mix of a different paint color to replace the black using the GBP yellow and white plastic. I gotta say I REALLY am digging how it's looking!

I finished everything on my Exia.... I used every single freaking sticker I could to put all the detail and realism as possible! Legs and head are super solid..........and that's about it! I'm kind of scared to touch it really, I don't want things falling off...namely anything that holds a translucent part to it! Which....out of all those pieces the shoulder straps were the easiest. There are: 2 clear parts for the head (Yet no silver reflective sticker) you have to bend them and hold them in place while you put the final 2 parts of the side of the head in place. 2 Clear Parts for the shoulders connecting to the bicep sides. 2 Clear parts for the forearms, 1 for each arm. 4 Clear parts for the legs, 2 on the upper thigh, 2 on the lower leg. These two were the most difficult next to the head. 2 Parts for the torso, 1 on each side, which you have to squeeze and hold together while you put the other armor parts on. It's a nice looking kit, but unless something really wow's me in the future, I don't think I'll be buying another AU Real Grade kit. I have zero interest in any of the SEED models...I wasn't much of a fan of the Strike or the Destiny, and I"m not really into the retools of the other Exia based kits. I'll just stick to UC, and hoping for Nu Gundam, Double Zeta Gundam without a core fighter block unless it's seperate like the RX-78-2, and maybe even a Physco Gundam.

Well......you gotta understand where the history of wonderwoman comes from afterall....she belongs in that mythology of the Spartans. As for me, I don't dig the gal in the suit....I want someone with some muscle to her! I'll wait and see what else they put in there before I go "Dammit this isn't right." The only thing I like was the nod to Frank Miller's batman armor.

It's always nice to find a kit you want somewhere close versus waiting a week. This particular hobby store is over priced, I mean it can be a rather significant over price from not only online, but closer retailers of the same name. They had a RG GP-01 for 42 dollars, I bought mine from a closer retailer of the same name during t he holidays for 15 dollars cheaper. I almost wanted to go up to the guy and say "Really dude? You do realize the Wilsonville location had this same kit for 15 less? And the other variant of it for 11 less? Hell, Amazon is selling it nearly 20 less." But...nah. Full Armor MG Unicorn there was 130, another store had it for 90....I mean k'mon They DID however have a MG EX(S) Gundam, that 1/144 I built back during the 4th, and I ALMOST picked it up...but it's a transformation kit and well, Bandai's design team back then wasn't exactly solid on transforming Gundam AHEM DOUBLE ZETA COUGH COUGH!

Sonavabitch I found it! It was stuck to some insulation tape I use to fit my AC stuff into the window. WOOT! Torso is complete!
-
Yeaaaahhhh I gotta look around the bedroom, it's somewhere around the desk area I know it....but there's tons of boxes and bags surrounding it I'll have to go thru as well. SO to make myself feel better over the collasal F up I took a long drive this morning and I picked up Hi-Nu GPB Colors which I'm kind of pondering if I should customize that entirely, new paint colors and all that stuff. And I picked up Shenlong EW Ver for the Wing collection...2 down, 4 to go.

soooooo now they're gonna rename is to it's proper DC city name huh?
-
DAMN! Today is not my day! I lost one of the yellow blade parts that goes on Exia's collar area. I had it in my fingers and was ready to clip it on and suddenly PING! off it goes into some unknown area of my bedroom. And knowing my dog, he's gonna find it first.
-
Haven't seen anything that even suggests a GM from the OYW is getting model treatment.
-
I can't find my replacement blades for my exacto knife...so I'm not getting the stickers lined up the way I want...but I'm finished with Exia's right leg and I LOVE how solid and flexible it is all together. My only gripe so far are the clear parts...they're very thin, very flimsy, and require bending and feeding to get into the slots of his exo skeleton. They're also very easy to lose SINCE they're translucent and tiny. Scared me putting the one on his shin in.
-
Gonna mess with it lil later tonight, I already got all the packing out and going "Damn, this is really small!" Not big on Destiny, it was okay of a build, not horrible or anything, but I don't like the way the weapons attach on the back pack mine always fall off.
-
looks fine to me, I'll just sit here patiently waiting for more images, but yeah, affleck is kinda having a very old school comic look to him which is not bad at all.
-
Titan variant is still available on amazon for 32 bucks. I'm gonna wait till this weekend and see if a hobby store downtown will have a MKII or anything real grade. Exia shows up tonight and on excited to look at what needs to be done.
-
yes! during my early building days I use to take the inner frame parts and paint them a gunmetal color for a more realistic frame appearance. I never had any flaking or issues to contend with...just make sure the color you use on those parts are the colors you want. I've grown very accustomed to doing partial assembly to certain areas after snipping them off the trees and giving them a nice even flawless paint job. Can't believe it took 15 years to get it right but once I found the trick when I did the mega grade RX-78-2, everything has been a cake walk for anything I need to paint.

Roy looks great! I can't wait!

260 for the figure and shipping, an additional 8 dollar charge from paypal cause I have to put it on a CC, and of course there will be exchange rate deduction too, always seem to get 'em cause I'm buying over seas. I get nailed by HLJ on that ALL the time, and I'm pretty sure I have been from NY as well. I don't even remember what my shipping choice was except it's fedex...so who knows! I might of actually gone all out on the shipping cause it wasn't that much at the time. Damn fedex....can't you cut me a break and we'll do some drug business togehter to cut cost?!
-
just paid mine....wow 270 dollar bill....damn.

IGNORE Zeta...again it's the worst of the RG's I think. Transformation is just a b1tcha. There are these little C shaped pins that connect the upper legs intot he hips, if you move it just the slightest at times it'll pop right out and shoot a half mile out of sight, or 10 inches out of sight which ever! I can't tell you how many times I almost cried cause I'd spend 20 minutes looking for a missing pin. The MKII is on my list....actually lemme see here... I have both the green and Char's Zaku...I've already built a green one 2 years ago but I want an army dammit. Another RX-78-2 which I plan to do as an RX-78-3 or 1, hadn't decided. It'll be tough! MKII in both AUEG and TITAN colors and if the price ever goes down 20 bucks I'll maybe get the Amuro custom Zeta Gundam......but it's gotta come down to the 60 dollar range and it'll just stay in it's box unassembled for collectors purposes. I've just finished the old RX-78 G type, stained and weathered and applied into Sander's unit since I already have an EZ-8....I'm not happy with that EZ-8 so I'll probably get another one and stain the crap out of that! Then I'll be buying a Ground type GM and another G type so I can put a GM head on it and call it Karen's suit!
