Graham

I'm really loving the newly released P-Bandai F90 Master Grade. It's a great kit. 

The original non-grade 1/100 F90 A/D/S was the first ever Gunpla I built way back in 1990.

So happy that a Master Grade had finally been released as the F90 is one of my all time favourite Mobile Suit designs. 

Here's some quick phone camera pics of my 1/144 RG RX-93 Nu Gundam.

Straight build, no paint. Just panel lined with Gundam marker and stickers applied.

I'm Sure Lucas will have the engine color issue corrected for the 4K release.

What's wrong with the engine colour?

I’ll get these 2.

Me too.

I'm sorry, but just what in the holy shitsnacks is this supposed to be???!!!

Will have to give this a try.

Only have vague memories of the 80's movie, wasn't a big fan at the time.

Luckily never interested in the armour parts. The NERF orange colour really turns me off and I don't like the overall design.

As per the poster I bet it's gonna be a show exclusive pink VF-1S...........LOL

Vientiane toys.....i hope this gets teleased by end of yr early 2020. Just beautiful

Looks quite like a stylized Gebeara Tetra IMO.

Just watching Gundam Build Fighters for the first time. 

Yes, I know it's several years old now and a kiddie anime, but I'm actually quite enjoying it. Nice easy watching.

My next weekend's build will either be the RG RX-93 Nu Gundam or the MG ver 2.0 RX-78 NT-1 Alex Gundam.

Both are in my cupboard waiting to be built, just trying to decide which to build first.

to be honest, I was a little disappointed by the RG Sazabi, despite all the rave reviews. Sure, it looks awesome, but the frustration factor is fairly high when posing it, as the right skirt armour and left should armour seem to fall of every time I handle the kit and these are not parts that can be glues on.

So I'll probably build the Alex Gundam first.

I think from now on I think I'm gonna stick with 1/100 MG kits rather than 1/144 RG & HGUC.

Just Spent the weekend building the Master Grade Jesta.

It's an awesome looking kit.

Got the LED for the head as well.

I'm a sucker for Special Forces MS.

Escaflowne 2.0 anyone

I really like how they blended the Orphans Frame with the Musha Gundams and Sengoku Basara. Brill ant!

 

Really NOT a fan of these sort of designs.

Still hoping one day for a third party Xeku Eins and Xeku Zwei to round out my Gundam Sentinel collection.

Kinda want this, but the Core Pod design really looks ugly and the toy seems to be lacking the chest vulcan that even the MG kit has.

I honestly can't even remember what happened to Neo at the end of 3.

All I remember of 3 was those really poorly designed mecha with absolutely no armour or protection for the pilots fighting the Sentinals.

I've tried my best to put both 2 and 3 out of my mind.

I won't be seeing it either way. I'm not signing up for another streaming service. 

Yeah, Netflix and Amazon are probably enough for me. 

Well, let's see what the overseas fees are like for Disney+

Impressive, most impressive.

Next step folding and unfolding tail fins and backpack.

Final step..........full transformation!

Shame, "Split Second" is still one of my favorite beer 'n popcorn movies

Me too.

Split Second, Flesh & Blood, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Blind Fury, The Hitcher, Salute of the Jugger AKA Blood of Heroes, Ladyhawke are my favorite Rutger Hauer movies besides Blade Runner.

I'm actually really excited about Picard after watching the trailer.

Looking forward to seeing Seven of Nine again.  I'm actually watching Voyager at the moment, currently halfway through season 5.

You mean this @Graham (or do you want another view)? I believe that hacchaka has it as well. * This was from "nov.chan's" website before it disappeared in vaporware. * 

Edit: Here's hacchaka's.

Hopefully these two pics help.

Thanks, those two pics are exactly what I was looking for.

New test shot for 3P ‘Metal Build’ Sazabi.

Ohhhh..........very nice, this will be a must buy.

Can someone please post a photo of the underside of Chuck's VF-31E in fighter mode with the radome in the stowed position please, I really want to see how it looks all folded up from underneath.

Had a good time starting the build on the RG Sazabi yesterday.

Got the legs and the torso finished so far.

My only complaints are:

1) Some of the tiny silver stickers that go on the inner frame are a pain in the ass to get off the sticker sheet and even using a par of tweezers and a craft knife, it's not easy and I ended up damaging or losing a few. The ends of some of the stickers got folded over accidently while I was trying to apply them and I couldn't unfold them, so ended up just not applying some of them

2) The front skirt armour, especially the right side front skirt doesn't attached that securely and can get knocked off quite easy when you are handling and posing the kit.

Still, it's a great looking kit and the articulation on the legs is amazing.

Canto Bight was a struggle to get through.

Hey Graham. Nice Sentinel collection.

How’s the build so far compared to the originals? And the joints much tighter? That’s one thing I kind of like with these 3P ones, the tights are tighter. Not like with the originals that sometimes out of the box, the joints are already loose.

Luckily my Bandai Metal Robot Spirits S Gundam, Ex-S Gundam and Z-Plus C-1 toys all have pretty tight joints. No floppiness so far.

The non-metal Robot Spirits  toys in my Gundam Sentinel collection, including FAZZ Gundam, 2x Nero, 1x Nero Trainer and 1x EWAC Nero all have fairly loose hip joints.  The Neros all tend to want to do the splits, so you have to pose them carefully. The Gundam MK-V and Refined Barzam joints are still tight.

The Show Z red EX-Gundam's joints are all pretty tight, similar to the Bandai joints. However, the booster connection is not as secure so the whole backpack can be knocked off fairly easily during handling. Also, the crotch armour and chest armour (I-field generator) do not attach as securely as on the Bandai originals.
