Oh well, villians/anti heroes have the same definition in my dictionary. The red/black does provide a rather good contrast. Give me time, I'll do a Reborn/00 Raiser gattai next. That post will apply then. =)

Thanks for all your feedback. I'll try to improve on the designs for my subsequent works.

i just finished the waist and the both legs, i can tell u that the articulation isnt bad. the pelveis part can be shifted upwards to cover the square waist base so that it doesnt stick out.

the knee joint can be bent 90 degrees, the top part (thigh) can bend another 90 degrees. the thigh moves using a 'gear' system and moving it will cause the gears inside to make clicking sounds. the legs and the waist stand about 25cm high.

hope this helps u out in some way

Hey, I'm wanting another HG after Dynames and Exia Repair II - I'm trying to choose between Masuaro and Throne Eins. Which would be the better buy and easier build? I'm a Gunpla newb so I haven't gotten as far as painting and stuff yet... Are most HGs of simliar difficulty? If I managed Exia and Dynames with not much problem, would I be able to build most others, too?

Masuaro and Eins. Which one? Does anyone have any other good HG 00 suggestions?

1st point have confidence in yourself. Masurao is the best bet.few good recommendations: arche, (arios,seravee, cherudim) gnhw, 00r with gn sword III,reborns gundam.

Well if you can do one HG you'll be fine with most others imo. Feel free to go for anything you like. Except for stuff like GN Arms may be? Since they're pretty huge and involve screws.

Masurao is a good pick. Pretty accurate in colors, just two foil stickers around the chest so there's no need to paint.

I'll probably wont be buying it anytime soon because its so pricey,I'm not a big fan of the bigger scales anhyway.I'm a HG kinda person.

But probably because I'm getting too lazy to even build HGs these days[takes me around 5 hours to build one].PG will kill me for sure.I'll probably wont have the time.

But its something I want to consider for the future perhaps,and since I'm a big fan of 00,I am hoping its good.

actually i do like final kitbash ^^

I like this one better than the other one on the last page, I give you a thumb up on this. Sorry if I sounded too mean but in my opinion is that douche and noble should not be merge together, that's why I don't like the other one you made.

[SonicSP]

Sorry,universe,personally I iked your Arche/Susanowo combo alot,good job on that.

But the new Celestial Gundam?I'm personally not too fond of it,the old Celestial Gundam was better.

Art is seen differently by different people I guess,but credit to you.I don't even have a kit bash,maybe just a small swap of weapons here and there.I guess I like my stuff mostly canon........

Anyway,looking forward to any more bashes you'll make next year.

Thanks for your kind advice, guys I think I'll be going for the Masurao^^

Celestial Gundam is going to give me nightmares.

Haha, let's just leave it that the change is irreversible. I had to saw off and glue some parts.

Nah, don't worry about it. I know my kit bashes are not exactly conventional.

I've had some comments that the old one was better too. In this kit bash though, I wanted to incorporate a more bulky look to the gattai, much like the 00 Raiser combination instead of a streamline appearance. I did that following advice that Celestial Gundam I didn't look menecing enough; he looked much too thin.

Thanks though, I appreciate your honest opinion. Looking forward to your kits as well.

@un1ver5e: how did you kitbash that seravee to add all the extra weapons from the other 3 CB gundams? i really like it but it confuses me how you modified the seravee to make that suit. susarche looks so easy to make compared to that 5 in 1 O.O.

Seravee for the legs, Seraphim for the body, Arios for the right hand, Cherudim for the left hand, 00 for the back.

Spue marks too, if you look carefully. I don't paint my kits, only panel lining with topcoat after. I tried to sand the marks down, including the leftover residue from the glue but unfortunately there's only that much you can do without paint.
