I'm sure there is a limit of somesort. Don't think they'd be too happy if it was like 200 pieces from different kits lol. But really, you'd have to enquire how much the limit really is as I'm not sure myself.

i'm trying to get that 'trans-am' colour scheme to my gundams, i know i probly won't get exactly the same effect as the actual trans-am kits but something similar would be nice. would anyone recommend any tamiya spraypaints which i can use to get the effect (my hobby shop only stocks tamiya ><)?

Looking at Tamiya's website, they have:
TS-59 Light Pearl Red
TS-36 Fluorescent Red
TS-65 Pearl Clear
TS-74 Clear Red
I would suppose spraying TS-74, followed by TS-65 would work best, assuming that "Pearl" refers to a shimmery effect.

Me too.I literally use them to decorate my room....I like stack them team to team(CB vs Other Groups).

Sometimes,I like them more than the kit itself.......though the 00 itself has mostly plain boxart.....maybe 00 Raiser is okaybut the rest......

Why is it that 0-Raiser's box gets to emit nice pure blue GN Particles,while NONE of 00's boxart has it....they're all the regular green particles....

Cool,still looking for mine(And Trans-Am Raiser as well).After that,it's some paint experimenting time......

[GNWeapon]

Besides, the price your paying isn't just for the model kit inside, it also includes both the box, especially the boxart design! It's such a waste to throw the box away, although I do understand that not everyone has the space to store their collection, like me :x (No offense to anyone)

[RAVNEN]

Well,i still have some of those boxes.I store some things in it. Sadly i had to throw away some of it,because my mom told me so.I miss the good old zeta plus boxart.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask this here, but is there anyone here in SE Asia (Singapore, Malaysia & other nearby countries) who has any unused Mr Spare Bottle 18ml SB-222 bottles for sale? Seems like most English-based online stores and all the local Hobby shops here in Sg are completely out of stock for nearly 2 months.. I need about 2-3 bottles in a hurry, or is there any recommendations for close alternate choices like Tamiya?

Assembled sword Impulse, finally

Spoiler for some photos:

Now gotta get to this:

Spoiler for arche:

Until MG Exia and heavy arm version of Cherudim comes... no Gunpla... unless there are more surprises

Thanks. Though I still prefer the Force Impulse, Sword Impulse is a precious addition to my collection. I'll see if Exia'll take its crown as the most awesome sword Master Grade ever

I'm pretty sure Hobby Art Gallery still has stock. Could also try M Workshop, it's just a few steps away.

Great Looking Sword Impulse Sir Dearka Good job on it. Those swords are intimidating.

[Amber.Dawn]

I wonder...when combined together, are the Sword Impulses swords longer than when Sinanju's swords are combined together?

is that painted or is that kit built straight from the runners in its original colours?

[beamknight87]

Exia Repair II boxart indeed forms a scene with 0 Gundam:

[Kelrys]

Exia R2 is 1200 yen right? How bout the 0 Gundam?

[beamknight87]

HG 0 Gundam will also be 1200 yen

Yeah, they are friggin' huge Now I am waiting impatiently for Blast Impulse, which, I have no doubt, would inevitably be released :]

It's straight from the box. Not counting the panel lines, of course
