Found this pic online, to me something looks off with the proportions on the DA.

I'd gladly trade an entry plug for a figure that can hold a pose.

My RAH Eva-01 was the recent re-issue and it held poses with no problem.

How long have you had them posed like that? Any issues with the rubber suit? Im afraid of leaving mine in anything other than a standing pose

Any NA website open PO for new astray gold frame amatsu mina?

Nope im still looking. 

Slept through this one, hopefully US shops will open POs soon

From what I remember in the manga it was missing the arm when it looked like a regular Astray.

Is it worth getting? I already have the 2 previous versions.

Probably not,  im a SEED/Destiny lover so I must buy them all

Dang, these third party ones are hard to nudge into place.  Once they touch the surface they don't want to move at all.

Yes thats true, what I do is pick the decal off the paper with tweezers and set it on a drop of mark setter on the model. Once presses on its hard to move. For the bigger decals i use as much water on the model surface as i can so i can slide the decal into position.

Fantastic work!  This is probably one of the best renditions of this kit I have seen.  This is making me want to start building this kit, but the amount of colours on this thing always makes me put it back in the box.

I was also afraid of this kit and it really got me out of my comfort zone. I would say go for it, the colors aren't as much of a problem as the amount of parts

Amazing work @anubis20!

color scheme is a mix of mystery and vibrancy!

that deserves a like!

Thanks!

MG Full Amor Gundam Ver Ka is complete! This was a really tough build for me that got me out of my comfort zone. Since I took up painting I think the hardest kit i build was the Barbatos. This thing had a ton of parts and not only that but a bunch of tiny little pieces that I found tough to mount and paint. The joint covers I didn't mind as much as other people have mentioned. They did some time to put on as I was trying to make sure the seam on the plastic cover sleeve ended up on the sides rather then on the front. The colors might seem a little dark because I was aiming for the colors on the artwork from the manual.

Yes

Eh, what a bummer.  I figured since The Gundam Base RX-78-2 was a limited edition they'd throw in Waterslide decals.  Instead they have the usual stickers.  But the majority of the base model is blue so they all look incredibly terrible.

I had to buy a third party set of decals for it. I was also expecting water slides.
