Wotafa's review on Entry Grade 1/144 RX-93 Nu Gundam.

 

[Big s]

There’s a few older exclusives going up for another round of preorders tonight on the U.S. site in case anyone is interested. Nothing too exciting though

Thanks dude!

Sorry I was a bit vague. I was heading out the door when I noticed those preorders. Unfortunately they didn’t have the big armed chad gundam that a few others wanted the last time, but I figured someone might have found something interesting there even though most aren’t really new.

Damn it's really 80% Ginn High maneuver parts, just missing the leg booster, the chest armor and the weapons. I hope they do that soon too!

I’m pretty sure they’ll milk this as much as possible and probably all the cool variants will be exclusives as well 

[Big s]

Hope these get some kits. I like the updated gm

It's Bandai...and the only reason this anime exists is to sell kits.  Hopefully, we will get regular release kits, but I doubt it.  They will probably be all P-Bandai, reusing the existing Gundam the Origin kits or the Revive versions as a base.  If they do master grade, they will be based off the GM Sniper kit.

I have a feeling that the basic guncannon would be standard and since the backpack is totally different the missile variant would be exclusive. Hopefully at least one of the gms will be standard, they look very similar to the origin gundam and I think that’s where most of the parts are coming from both in hg and if they do an mg. As far as mg origin kits, I think they only did the gundam so far. Might be nice to see something else, but more than likely hg kits

Any info/WIPs/reviews/etc. of the old B-Club 1/100 "Ver Ka" conversion kits for the HG Endless Waltz line?

 

I'm asking on the off chance that someone here might have seen something in the wild or perhaps even worked on one. Google and Youtube haven't borne any fruit, and my Japanese is not deft enough to trawl the Japanese interwebs. There does exist a review of the Sandrock conversion kit by Henry McClellan aka vegeta8259, but nothing on the others.

To be clear, what I'm referring to are B-Club conversion kits that allowed you to transform your

1. HG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero Custom
2. HG 1/100 Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom
3. HG 1/100 Gundam Sandrock Custom
4. HG 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms Custom
5. HG 1/100 Gundam Nataku

into their "first season"/"Ver Ka" predecessors (HLJ links for reference):

1. 1/100 Wing Gundam Ver Ka
2. 1/100 Gundam Deathscythe Ver Ka
3. 1/100 Gundam Sandrock Ver Ka
4. 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms Ver Ka
5. 1/100 Shenlong Gundam Ver Ka

I've gotten another itch to get the old HG 1/100s again, and I wondered if it might be worth it to try and find one or more of these to work on. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

I wish I could help, but I feel like getting info in English on older resin kits is getting harder and harder to find. There used to be a few gundam forums that had gk info and active builders, but I don’t see those around anymore

As far as the Doan’s island kits, the gundam doesn’t look much different from the origin version, minus a few option parts but including water slide decals. 

I’m on the fence over the Zaku though. The repair stuff is pretty good looking for this and included water slide decals are always a rarity with Bandai

Way back in the time before the gundam anime made it state side, I remember getting the little hg version of this guy. It was the first gundam wing kit that I had seen at a hole in the wall hobby shop. Not long after that gundam was everywhere. 

[electric indigo]

@anubis20 Perfect build, and the colors look great!

[David Hingtgen]

I'm curious about the gold on Heavyarms----multiple layers/colors, or just a really nice single-stage gold paint?

I used to have the 1/100 HG and they all got tossed in the trash after a move. 😔 I paint the yellow gold as an homage to the images in the manual from those old kits.

Its gaianotes pearl gold. Usually I paint it over a black base, but his time I applied straight on gray primer and it took a bunch of layers to get the same effect.
