Sanity is Optional Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 There we go, was wondering how long that one would take them. I suppose I'm in, may as well have it to go with the PBandai RG Tallgeese II, and the plated RG Tallgeese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Some nice stuff. I’m totally skipping the seed stuff, but I like the rest. Hathaway’s flash items have got me jazzed up. The instructions for the Gustav Karl mentions a light armored version, so I’m hoping that happens along with the messer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really can't bring myself on getting these MG's. I'm only buying the recent HG releases such as the TR-6 and so on just to complete my HG AoZ kits that I started 12 years ago. On top of that, I don't even have time to build nor paint. I only wish that they should release the Hazels thru Robot Damashii. I wouldn't mind Metal Damashii as well.

JakCrow Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) I think it's funny how new SEED kits get a lot of people REALLY excited and prompts new discussions about possible future SEED kits coming out. I personally like the SEED and 00 designs over most UC, so I'm always interested in these new kits or Metal Builds.

Big s Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I’m the other way around. If I see something uc get excited. That Penelope has me jazzed I’m pretty sure the flight pack is removable, otherwise that would be a brick. To be honest even if it is, I’d still buy it.

Big s Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yeah, ny had the preorder up the other week along with the other 2 packs. I bout the 2 packs but passed on the 36. I don’t think I would ever have time for all that let alone have space for them. For anyone that loves army building there’s your army and I’ll see you in a decade.

Duymon Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Was snapping up the S-Gundam 1.5 at work the last two nights. Def glad I waited, but still undecided if I want to make it the S or EX-S before I take it apart, paint it and do the final assembly.

electric indigo Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think that the S is a little under-represented these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Yeah everyone goes for the EX-S these days. I think I'll keep this as the S and after I paint it up and get some decals it'll be nice. It's really stupid that these $100+ kits don't have Friggin decals. Just like the deepstriker I'll need to source 3rd party decals for this too.

Big s Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I’m with you on the decal complaint. There should be no excuse for the lack of decals. I’m just glad my jegan d came with a decent set. I think all kits should have at least unit number and basic emblem decals, rg or higher grade should have a full set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 There is an older basic set of Bandai decals for the Sentinel kits. For extra Katoki flavor, use the Unicorn decals, also available as a separate set ind the Gundam Decals line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 These are Katoki Designs so I def need to make them match my other Ver Ka's, which means they need to be littered in red text and lines. Luckily I have a few generic warning signs decal sheets I can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechuck Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I read a lot of complaints about the S-Gundam head, torso, shoulder pauldrons etc., which of course all look better now. But that image emphasises the one thing that I have never liked with the MG which should have been fixed and that is the wide hips, it just doesn't line up nicely with the waist (plate) and main body.

Duymon Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Luckily the thunder thighs aren't an issue on the S-Gundam Booster Type You can create the S-Gundam booster type from the deep striker and some extra parts. I nabbed the hand cover and backpack beamguns that were leftover form my S-Gundam build. For the crotch-piece you can just take out the back of the crotch piece and push the unused core-fighter nosecone in there for a near-perfect fit. Gonna leave the extra wings on the shoudlers off and just waiting on two extra red forearm covers to arrive from Japan before I actually work on paiting / etc. Edited June 3, 2019 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hachi Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 For those who do topcoats, I have a question. Are the topcoats affected by high temperatures? I would like to leave top coated gunplas in my room, but on really hot days the temp could go past 35 deg C (of course I would not stay in the room--usually happens at noon onwards). It could be higher if I lock my room when I go out. If they will peel off over time I'd rather not topcoat, or just put them in a cooler place and topcoat only a few chosen kits.

I don't think it is so much heat as humidity and UV that are the main concerns with topcoat. I live in a more moderate zone so I usually don't get more than a week of two of 35 degree weather and I have never had peeling issues with topcoat, especially once the topcoat has had adequate time to cure. The quality of the topcoat makes a big difference. I know some modelers use the ultra thick Krylon top coats, but I would recommend the ones formulated for plastic models, like Tamiya/Gunze. The Japanese stuff is formulated for their climate so that would probably be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 There is also a mr hobby topcoat that blocks uv light, but I just use model master lacquer dull coat most of the time. I live in California, so it can get fairly hot here in the summer but I’ve had no problems with heat and top coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The latest pics I saw (looked like actual test-shot, not painted sample) of HG Sandrock looked REALLY blue. Terrible, IMHO. I'd have accepted most anything from "Deathscythe navy" to "Tallgeese dark grey" (though would of course prefer pure black, but Bandai pretty much doesn't ever mold true black)----but it looked almost purple-indigo to me. Will have to paint the whole thing if that's the actual molded color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
