The Action Base 2 also has extra articulation in the form of an additional joint at the top allowing for sideways rolling motion.

If you're just a 1/144 collector get the Action Base 2, though if you want some height to your displays, or collect 1/100 models as well (or you just desire a much larger base) get the Action Base 1.

Hmm....

Gale Strike Gundam = Strike Gundam + Aile Pack Divided in Half Attached to Shoulders + Shield in Back = $$$ for more Strike Variants? :P

The 2 Sangokuden Gaiden BB Senshis are rehashes of BB143 and 252, except for the hand held weapon.

Basiscally what happened is that white effects appeared on it,but this is only after the things has dried however,it was clear before it dried.

Maybe I'm using the wrong type of paint or that my technique is too close....or my thiiner is too much/little.

You mix Flat Base with the paint you have to obtain a flat finish. That's why it's "Additive for Flat". It kinda misses the point when at the end of everything you spray on flat top coat anyway.

Any idea on how much you usually mix with a normal paint to obtain the a good flat finish normally?

I so wish they'd make a MG of it...

(The local model store I go to in Toronto has a Stargazer or two on hand, in case you are ever up here. Might want to ring up first, though.)

R2 looking excellent congrats

It is nice, alright - and I still wish the parts for the R2 were included with the MG Exia!

(I can wait for a MG R2, though.)
