Question for the hive mind.

Although I've built a great many Gunpla over the years they have for the most part been MG, RG and a very small smattering of HG, as well as some older non-grade kits back in the early 90s.

However, I have never built a Perfect Grade kit. Now I'm thinking about it.

While I'm mostly a UC timeline fan there are unfortunately no UC-era PG kits that I really like (I'd love a PG V Gundam, V2 Gundam, RX-79G Ground Type, RX-93, XM1 Crossbone, but alas they don't exist). Existing PG UC-era kits such as the RX-79, MKII, Unicorn, GP-01/GP-01FB, Zeta are just not Mobile Suits designs that I'm attracted to.

So the only PG Mobile Suits that I like enough  to buy are non-UC era designs, with my favorites being the Exia or the Strike Gundam.

So for those that have built the Exia or Strike PG kits, which is the better choice in terms of  fun factor, frustration factor, details, gimmicks, long term durability, poseability, long term tightness of joints etc?

 

 

If you're a fan of the RX-78-2, I would wait for the Perfect Grade Unleashed /2.0 that's coming out.

Yups...a ver KA....does that qualify as a 2.0?

I would say so based on the Nu. The Ver. Ka is leaps beyond the original. 

Definitely not what I was expecting to be announced but I did kind of wish there was a WZC 2.0 after building the RG so I guess I got my wish? lol Also the HiRM was all janky in the looks and quality from what I've heard.

I hope it is going to be an all new kit because the part separation of the head in the 1.0 (which is still in my backlog after 10+ years) is bad. 

Here's my latest work. Full LED HG Unicorn Phenex.

More pictures.

And some people just don't want to deal with a real grade period.

The RG Tallgeese is a solid kit. No floppiness like the earlier ones.

I’m not sure if I should get that or wait for a hg kit. The recent hg kits have been nice. I guess I’m torn between the detail as a compromise to the accuracy of the tv version. The Leo was fun and I think hg of the tallgeese would be good as well.

Why not just get the normal RG and paint it TV colors?

I would love to see how they get that thing to move.

It would be cool if they made a cockpit for people to sit in. A cockpit in the Unicorn would be freaking awesome.

I really like Tamiya spray lacquer but I still use it through an airbrush. (or I did when I was still building models).

 

One down side to spray cans is it is less efficient than airbrushing so there's a lot of "wasted" paint especially with small parts. Tamiya just released a line of bottled lacquer in all the spray can colors.

Thanks guys! I think that I’ll pull the models apart into assemblies and paint them that way. 
 

The one I’m really wanting to do is a Zeta Plus, which I want to do a Custom USAF low vis scheme on, with some nods to the original scheme.

I like to do my painting with Tamiya lacquer spray cans. It's fast drying and durable. Very convenient if you don't want to setup an airbrush and spray booth. 

Are people suppose to just forget that Anakin's lightsaber was destroyed in TLJ?

I haven't watched any episodes yet but what is the origin of this "baby Yoda"? Obviously it's NOT Yoda but another of his species right?

The cape attachment on Superman is perfect! Lets hope it carries over to production units. 

F**k YES on the Superman! This is THE Superman I've been waiting for. It could very well be the End All Be All 6 inch scale highly articulated Classic Superman. 

Recently finished the RG Unicorn.

RG Unicorn Album

Recently finished Iron Blooded Orphans and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't even look into it when it was announced / released and it wasn't until I saw pictures of the up coming MG and that sexy sexy frame that the design grew on me. I needed something to hold me over until its release and discovered the Full Mechanics line. With the full inner frame and pretty decent color separation, I would say it is on par with early master grades. More pictures in the link.

That's a great idea for a LED project! lol

I recently discovered the existence of "chip" LEDs that are pre wired from Evan's Design so I decided to give it a shot with the RG Tallgeese. The head design was simple and allowed for easy modding to fit the LED. I didn't take into account for the light bleeding through the plastic but it does give it a pretty cool "transcendence" effect that I'm alright with.  

Has anyone built the Super Nova Wing Zero Custom kit? How's the quality compared to Bandai's? 

Just finished (still need to apply stickers) my first RG. Overall I'm pretty proud of the build.

Give me some Mafex Matrix figures.

Or SH Figuarts. The lack of good Matrix figures is surprising.

The Matrix is my most watched movie ever. I've watched it at least a dozen times and knew every single line of the movie. With that being said the franchise should be left alone to rest in peace. 

And considering that the Wachowski brothers are now  trans"women", I'm afraid it's just going to be the usual SJW "woke" BS we have nowadays. 

I like the bow down bitches scene at the end. lol

Can anyone guess or estimate the death toll resulting from the battles of the Kaijus?
