Hey guys, if you guys goto Dalong's page, he already has Shin Musha in production. Also, all the weapons are chromed. If you look closely, not just the katana, but also the trident (or w/e) and the other are chromed.

Nice color scheme, beamknight87! The gold looks a bit rough, though, but other than that, it looks awesome!

It's using the OYW frame as a base, actually.

[beamknight87]

he, thanks Shiro-Oh!. Yeah, as I said before, the golden details of the skulls and the chest didn't came out as I expected, but that's because the type of paint I used (oil) while for the rest I used spraycans, oh well, at least the result is nice and I ended up learning more for future model kits. Currently working in a 1/144 Hazel Custom, I plan to finish it in 1 week, 1 week and half maybe.

The Musha looks simply incredibly, exactly like its GFF incarnation, definitely a must buy ^^

[Astrana]

OK, BK, I found it. I came across these pictures through google I think , the color looks pretty good. I thought about coloring my Xbone Full Cloth, but ended up not to. Maybe I would buy one in the future and painted dark purple like the X-2

Spoiler for Xbone:

Random Gunpla facts & figures
Nikkei Business Online has been posting a series of discussions with Bandai Hobby Division's Deputy General Manager & Bandai Hobby Center chief Katsuhiko Sasaki. The second one focuses on his work as a manager and the people who support the Gunpla market.

- Development of a plamodel takes 120-150 days from design to shipping out. They plan on optimizing this to 100 days.

- The plamodel market exceeds 50 billion yen in value.

- Said market is such that even 10-year-old products can be manufactured and sold with repeated demand. The ratio of sales for new products vs. old products is roughly 50-50.

- The people who buy Gunpla can be largely divided into two groups: 14-year-olds who purchase them because of their interest in the newest Gundam on TV and 35-year-olds who've been fans since First Gundam. Gunpla has been particularly sustained by the latter.

This is what i notice:

comparison of avalanche exia n shin musha

[Derringer]

Astraea Type F---->red, looks exactly like the original Astrea except with a face mask

Astraea Type F Kai---->exia skirt parts and V fin has yellow hi-lights at end

[Astrana]

There is a Astrea Type F Kai??
