Raikkonen Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If I have to be honest, I'm as concerned with the white, where hopefully it isn't that pure white almost transparent plastic, instead that faintly bluish/greyish broken white.

mechaninac Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Looks beautifully desaturated in those pictures, as it aught to be. Will the final product retain that authentic -- to my eyes -- look?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 "Completely different every time". Will keep waiting for final-production in-hand pics before I again debate picking one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raikkonen Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 As much as I wish it's like that, it very much looks like a fully painted prototype. It's too matt without any plastic sheen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how difficult it is to use lighter colour plastic... ??? My bigger concern is that they will release a correctly painted one further down the line as a limited edition available for only 30 minutes online at a stupid price.

Considering it takes 3 years from concept to retail a Metal Build, this zero line already has it's own timeline planned out. Now, on what planet's calendar this timeline is based on is whole other question. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
