I think sooner or later Bandai will release the roll out color as well

[Karidzka]

hmmm Infinite Justice with Schwert-Gewhr? why not

Any tips on scratch transfer decals?

Look how I failed.

[Un1ver5e]

Haha, not much to learn. Just hold the decal in place with a tape then repeatedly go over it with something sharp which exerts pressure. If you're unsure whether the decal has transferred on, just lift it up slightly without moving it.

Anyway, looking for opinions for my next project:

1) Trinity Gundam (Zwei+Eins+Drei)
or
2) Arche Innovate (Arche+Garazzo+Gadessa)

Yeah, it'll be another gattai. I couldn't find epoxy putty at my local hobby store, so I decided to forgo the Prototype Exia mod.

Feel free to throw out more ideas. Only criteria is that they have an underlying theme. (Innovator MSs / CB Gundams / Earth Sphere Alliance MSs / etc)

Some initial assembly pics of the HG Arche Gundam floating around:





Asides from the guy who built it getting the legs the wrong way around (the leg condenser lenses should be on the outside ), the HG Arche's looking very sweet there

Not a total big fan of the 00 series but out of the 2 I'd have to say 1st selection would leave room for much more experimentation with the fangs and all.

Though I'd much rather do a MK II + Ifinite Justice build with Fin funnels to boot

Wow, this looks too cool to bear. Now I am happy to see that the pinkish tone that previously scared me seems to be a bad pic side effect I shall be waiting for mine then...

Haha, I went with the 00 models because of the higher qualities of their HGs. The Seed and lower HGs generally have lousy joints, and many of the models require paint.

MK II? Of?

Ah. Well true. Anyhow I was referring to MG kitbashes. RX- 178 MK II specifically.

[Sir Dearka]

wow, after looking at the bazooka, I feel kinda like buying it to complement my Gold Frame Amatu :P

I wonder how compatible the beam rifle and shield is with the HG O gundam and the UCHG RX-78 2

[AaKkisa]

Can't really make it out since the instructions are fuzzy, but are the beams sabers out of arche's feet clear? Was hoping I wouldn't have to paint them like with bushidos ahead but oh well. Would have been easier on us gunpla enthusiasts.

[LoweGear]

Yes, the beam sabers on the Arche's feet are clear. You need to paint them to get them red.
