I didnt realize Origin varies so greatly with UC.

I'd say it varies less than Thunderbolt.

Lottery pre-orders for "METAL ROBOT Spirits Kan-U Gundam (Real Type ver.)" are open until March 22!

I can never get over those strange body extensions on the Dynames and the Kyrios. The Dynames has those butt flaps, and the Kyrios has those knees.

I'd say Arios has the long floppy weiner too.

That reminds me. I really want the Re:100 Guncannon Detector.

At this point they all combine into one mega-Gundam that has the weirdest body extensions.

Seems like a good time to share this then.

MG FAZZ is cool as hell

I say we add the Turn A's moustache and the weird arm pistons of the Zudah too.

Jegan...Initial-D you say?

New OC, a Fed pilot veteran from the OYW. Paints his Jegan like a GM because nostalgia, inspired by Io Flemming to blast music during battle. Many a doomed Sleeve Pilot hears Eurobeat on blast before meeting their end.

Also, anyone pick up the Unicorn MG Re-Gz? Curious to see how the changes went down and I can't find any reviews.

There will be a live presentation for the "Gunpla 40th Anniversary Project" on February 21.

The "GUNPLA LINK PROJECT" event has begun, with one of its new products being a 1/144 scale RX-78-2 Gundam model made of "Gundarium alloy".

Just built the Premium 0088 Zeta HG.

Overall, fun kit. I can't compare it to the standard Zeta revive because I don't have one. The colors pop, the proportions are great. The color correcting is much better, especially around the wings. The stickers are still annoying, but most tend to be these small yellow strips which you really don't need. The wave rider is a good addition, and I appreciate that the shoulders of the figure can move outwards to better hold something so big. The shield/nosecone is still awkward, but that's a design thing for the Zeta rather than a problem with the mold.

I like how the Jet mode pegs together. Tight enough to stay but loose enough to not break when transforming. The figure looks great in both molds.

And one detail I really like is how the Vulcans are part of the face piece and the helmet attaches around them.

Though I dislike how easily the waist ball joint pops off. Same with the v fin.

I've finally decided to start panel lining my models starting with my seventh MG, the Barbatos, and I have to say, the way the markers make the plates pop out is amazing and is making me regret not panel lining earlier. I have a feeling I'll be taking apart my Sengoku Astray after I'm done with the Barbatos and line the white parts of that particular suit, especially on the legs.

I've found that I really prefer panel lining with a gray marker over the black, at least on white plastic.

Dalong really put me off panel lining for a while because I find that they tend to really overdo it with the lining and I think that looks horrible.

Grey on white is generally the preferred panel lining method from what I’ve seen online, so you’re not alone there. I tried both, and black is just too harsh a contrast while the grey gives good definition without looking too much like a Borderlands piece. I only really use the black marker for blue and gray parts.

Went and built my Nu Gundam over the past two nights after letting it sit for over two months. It's enjoyably chonky, and its funnels have a surprisingly solid clip. Neck's a bit too long, but other than that, I was pleasantly surprised.

RG? Cause I have that and it's excellent. Was worried about those fin funnels but, like you said, solid stuff.

HG, actually. I don't like Real Grade kits too much.

HGBDR Aegis Knight announced... meaning that an HGCE Aegis is in the works.

Good news for that one guy in the thread who keeps wanting an Aegis revive. The Knight Aegis looks pretty slick, and if it's not a parts-formation I'll prolly pick it up.
