Coming from a southeast Asian country, I can pretty much testify how popular gunpla is. There local contests, not official and not Bandai's, which are held about every quarter, in my estimate.
When a new kit gets released, we can get that by about 4 days, based on my experience. I can smell the freshness of it, lovely :) |

Anyway, I've made a review of a kit, which I think is rare to see. Presenting, HGUC 1/144 Bawoo (Glemy Toto) review: http://redblondemean.wordpress.com/2...y-toto-review/ |

Most places only ever showed images of it, never a write up. Great review btw, certainly did alot to show me if it's worth it or not and I think I'll pick it up before the end of the year:D |

yup, very nice review indeed!^^ many photos and very informative!

I'm glad that my review was able to help. I was looking all over the net for its review, but had no luck. So I thought, why not make mine? And there it is. Now I'm thinking of what to review next, I have like 7 unbuilt kits here, but two are MGs which I want to review for later and there are already tons of reviews for them. Anyway, I thank you all for visiting :)
@pumpkins I don't remember about the flashes because I really don't find them not until I sand the nubmarks . For misaligned parts, I think I only experienced it in the head area. The seamline just screams to me, "SEAL ME UP!". But, I'm still enjoy playing with it. I transform it back and forth whenever I had nothing to do, LOL! |

did you even ever build a model kit like that before? and if you dont have time at all then you might want to ask yourself if this is the right hobby for you. because otherwise you just pay a lot of money for unfinished kits that will collect dust but never get built! personally i have one armored core model lying around unfinished right now :P and i dont see myself finishing it any time soon^^ |

=P I had purchased 2 of them. And yea I know that I don't have much time, but I sometimes get a day or 2 off during the week. I usually work 7 days a week, 12 hours a week.... :frustrated::frustrated: Tiring, but whatever money I can get, ya know? I'm looking for a better job though. ANYWAY~~ =P I will finish them one day. I'm sure. I don't plan on GunPla'ing for that much longer. The 00 series of kits is pretty much all I wanted. I might get from the AGE series, and maybe the Unicorn ones, but that's it. I have made model kits before... I used to have: SD Freedom SD Justice SD Exia SD 00 Gundam MG Exia MG Exia Ignition Mode MG God HG Exia R2 HG O Gundam (Type ACD) I made those, built it, tried painting but failed horribly, and sold them after I got mad...LOL So as you can see from the list of kits I currently have, I did re-buy a lot of them. |
ah ok^^
its a shame that you sold them because of a failed paintjob. how did you try to do it? |

this DOES work well with metallic markers though! metallic paint has real metal pigments in it and metal doesnt let through any light. thats why metal paints are usually pretty easy to apply and they stick very well even to smooth surfaces^^ thats why i was able to paint my HG avalanche exia' in gold, silver and copper without using a primer. i also love to use fine gold, silver and copper markers to apply some details to kits. works like a treat! |
Ahh. I finally finished my NT-1 Alex with some minor painting. :)
Spoiler for you really want to see?:
I love those gatling arms. They're little but deadly. :D |

Example? Quantum Bust Mode - GN Buster Sword (Trans-Am Mode) Wing Zero Custom's - Twin Buster Rifle Strike Freedom - mega rainbow beam haxorz |

Alex is a UC Gundam that took more real approach in its weapons (beam sabers notwithstanding). :D |
Quote:
i really like the ReZEL for example. or the RX-79(G) ground type gundam. you also did an awesome job on that alex by the way!^^ thats how its supposed to look! |

Ok, my next assembling victim is.... I don’t know what to choose. 1/100 Chaos Gundam, MG Ingram 1 ‘Alphonse’ or HG Gundam Aesculapius? Yup, UC mechas are the most real of them all. They have LOOoong history and the newer mecha designs looks cool (even the grunts and cannon-fodders). I love’em. :) |
@xxnike629xx Your kits didn't surprise me knowing that you're a 00 die hard fan :)
As for me, my unbuilt kits are: MG Sinanju ver KA MG Zaku II 2.0 (Char's) HG 1/144 Sinanju HG 1/100 Leopard-D HG 1/100 Virsago HG 1/100 Maxter NG 1/100 Nebular Blitz And next month, I'll be getting the limited version Trans-Raiser MG and HG Genoace. That's why I think I should start and build 2 kits per month so at least they'll be lesser. It's true, UC is the universe that tried to be as real as possible. Unfortunately, it doesn't appeal me that much. I like weapons that are far from the real thing. About the Alex, I actually haven't watched that OVA yet, even the MG IGLOO. I'm planning on watching them, but have no such time at the moment. I think that Duel's Assault Shroud was based on Alex's armor right? |

My back log is pretty bad isn't it... :heh: And to think that Bandai might (I hope) get us a MG Exia R2, MG Astraea, SD Astraea, etc. >_< I hope they give us a few more 00 series kits. |
