Thanks thanks! I only had time now because I'm on a break. Just resigned last January and still on a vacation. But knowing that I already had a long break, 1 MG seems very lacking XD Been busy mostly playing games.

Health problem is also an issue for me. I'm like always having a new disease every year. That's why I took this break to bring me back to shape.

Damn you bandai for making the cool MG gelgoog canon an exclusive!!!!

I am a fan of the gelgoog and i still wonder why we never got more versions of the 2.0 mold up till now, people were screaming for a gato or ridden version up till now it did not see the day light.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

^ Maybe because those Gelgoog variants aren’t very popular? So it’s online exclusive or nothing.

I guess Zaku Cannon & Zaku II Minelayer will be the last MGs of obscure MS we’ll see in standard releases. We’re lucky that Marasai & Geara Doga are prominent grunt suits and quite popular, so they get MGed. Otherwise they won’t see the light of the day (not even exclusive) since they need new molds.

@Loon & Makna
Sweet builds, guys.
I see loon painted the whole back gimmick of Norn, and makna opt for white chest-piece for Nu Ka.

On another topic, does anyone know how can I get HGUC Banshee to hold the beam magnum on its left hand without gluing or carving the hand or the Magnum? I kinda want to make mine into the “1 of 42”-version that fought alongside Phenex. But the Beam Magnum has a peg for the right hand, and that gets in the way of the left hand. Or is there any HGUC kits that has trigger-finger hand for the left hand similar to Unicorn or Banshee?

It was just an accident. I just followed the instruction and when I was done, I saw the extra blue part for the chest. I thought it was for something else. Thankfully, I don't regret it. Looks sweet

Haul and prolly my next project. Though I'll be purchasing an AB before I get this topcoated :3

I'm usually not interested in "Repaired" versions, but that glorious art work just oozes power and screams anger. And those are missiles I'm assuming

Gotta speed up the backlogs of my Unicorn kits for the upcoming new kits releases

Spoiler:

- It got boring making another Unicorn kit and I admit I was disappointed that the propellant tanks are fixed to the backpack instead of being attached by a ball joint. No rotation or movement allowed and I hate bazookas. The effectiveness is very limited in my opinion. I'm also planning to save the Magnum rifle of this kit and pass it to the upcoming Unicorn Destroy FA. Was planning to duel wield the rifles which is why I may have to sand off the trigger peg for the rifle and give my Rezel Type-C's hands to the Unicorn Destroy.



- Pretty good kit all around. I should pickup the Bandai decals for this.



- Horrible fitting; all parts are loose and almost everything needs to be superglued. However surprisingly, one of the most enjoyable build, especially with the details, the undergates and the superb part's separation and well hidden seams. The painting to pearl white is probably the most challenging and I look forward to making the LED Mirage after this.

PS: Obelisk, you asked about my Hazel in TITANS colours and admittedly, it was pretty bad actually; thick yellow lines when it should be thin, some paint leaks and terrible sanding. The dark blue is Tamiya's TS-55 Dark Blue, the yellow is TS-47 Chrome Yellow and the lighter violet blue is the default plastic colour.

Spoiler:

Gundam TR-1 Hazel II

[Wild Goose]

Soooooo....

I have a CCA Jegan under my desk at work.

I have a GM Sniper II in my closet.

And instead of building those two, I'm browsing Gundam.my and seeing that the Unicorn Normal and Jesta are on sale, as are Light Gray and Gray Gundam markers, and I'm almost ready to buy them but that will be a fair bit more money flowing out of my bank account. ARGH. Torn. Can't make up my mind.

It'll cost me RM150. I have RM240 left in my bank account. Salary will be RM1600 and will come in on next Thursday. Thoughts?

AIRMASTER

Awesome announcements indeed. Now that the Airmaster is announced, my hopes for an HGAW Virsago has returned.

[Aurelis]

Wild Goose... Buy first, regret later!

Although if you had to choose one, the Unicorn mode is just a fabulous release. No panel line required.

AND OMFG THE NEW HGUC RELEASES. MUST GET THEM ALL. ESPECIALLY ZETA PLUS *DROOLING INTENSIFIES*

[Blazer-X]

RINASCITA! AMAZING EXIA! Alright, Bandai, just one more step. GIVE US THEIR MASTER GRADE!

[LoweGear]

Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy



That EXIA AMAZING AND FENICE RINASCITA, I MUST HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, it seems we are getting our Gyan Vulcan afterall... as a weapons pack, which makes sense seeing as the base Gyan itself isn't likely to have changed. The HGAW Airmaster though is surprising, but not entirely unexpected, though it gives me hope that we'll see an HGAW Leopard, or even better the rest of the HGAC line getting made, like the Heavyarms.

I like this HGAC idea. Screw you, bandai, for making RD Deathscythe an online exclusive! If that's how you roll with the Robot Damashii line, I will never buy MS Groups of Robot Damashii, not Wing-boyband, SEED-boyband, nor 00-boyband for that matter.

Anyway, HGUC Zeta Plus A1 & HGAW Air Master are sweet. Keep up the good work, Bandai. Don't you dare treating your Gunpla-line like your RD-line. Oh wait, who am I kidding, you already did it with Exclusive MG Banshee Norn.

Now that I had time to take another look at Episode 7's poster, I am somewhat convinced that assuming Bandai didn't lose all their common sense, most likely, we will be getting a regular release MG Banshee Norn... in Green PsychoFrame Final Battle Colors. Of course, why they would release the Green one as regular and the Gold one as exclusive is anyone's guess.

For the same reason, wouldn't surprise me if a Red Psychoframe Full Armor Unicorn pops up at some point as an exclusive as well.

That said, I am still totally waiting on that MG Exia Dark Matter and Rinascita. Probably won't be happening till sometime later this or next year, given that X Maoh and Fenice hasn't even been announced yet, but I do think and hope that they'll get announced somewhere down the lines.
