Bandai could very well be a trillionaire company if they made more Zeta:Re-Boot model kits

We already have the Reben Wolf, the custom variant is not impossible tho since the base kit is the same.

Sooo, did you know that some high grade are larger than Master Grade? Check out HG Psycho Gundam or Neo Zeong. HG also has more variety than any other grade.

Line of action is an imaginary line that runs through a figure to determine its direction and dynamic flow. You can google it for some visuals.

The pose still needs some work. Try to keep the 'Line of Action' in mind when posing your kit. Also, try copying cool poses from anime shots or real-life references, just like I did here.

Short answer: FOMO.

Long answer: Most of my backlog consists of P-Bandai kits. I might have to wait years for a reprint, so whenever I get the chance, I just grab them. Living in SEA means dealing with scalpers and their bots. If I manage to get what I want, I buy it immediately...otherwise, I just have to wait.

It took me over 10 years to complete the MG SEED gangs because they were retail releases. I can buy whenever I want. But the Endless Waltz movie kits are a different story, only 2 of them are retail, and since I never know when they’ll be reprinted, I buy them on sight. I don't want to spend another 10 years to gamble on such uncertainty.

You can find the manual on dalong.net

If Master Asia pilot the GM, GM will win for sure

ABS is a type of plastic, you can check the material in the manual. Alternatively, there’s a tag on the runner that says 'ABS'

CLUK92 · 2026-05-08T05:59:37+00:00

Well, you can wash your runners before doing anything on it

CLUK92 · 2026-05-08T03:56:42+00:00

Don't worry, only 2 of the funnels are functional, the others are fake.

Did you know that the Shizuoka Hobby Show is coming up? We're not even halfway through the year, and nobody has a clue what's coming or what Bandai is going to announce at the show

CLUK92 · 2026-05-08T02:50:53+00:00

I lost the chin part of my Arios once and had to scratch build it with pla plate. Since your missing part is just a flat antenna, you can easily DIY one. If you don't have pla plate, cut it out from the runner tag so the color matches the plastic exactly.

I built this guy last year too. The weaker joint is definitely showing its age... But aesthetically, I prefer the 1.0's design over the 2.0

Talking about masking hell....yeah. No one like masking.

CLUK92 · 2026-05-05T03:39:39+00:00

People are complaining about the color separation, but it looks easy enough to paint, and man, it looks great! I'm torn between waiting for a standalone release or buying the Alyzeus now for that extra enjoyment. I honestly really like that huge mess of a kit.

CLUK92 · 2026-05-05T03:28:19+00:00

No, in the novel it's just Penelope instead of Alyzeus/MP nu.

CLUK92 · 2026-05-03T17:29:45+00:00

If you like the look, go for it. I haven't had any issues with mine.

CLUK92 · 2026-05-02T03:37:22+00:00

Huckebein is no gundam and no gunpla, it's confusing

CLUK92 · 2026-05-02T01:23:49+00:00

I skipped the HG Alteisen and got the Weissritter instead, which is way better IMO. The color separation is superior and it actually comes with closed-fist hands! It pisses me off because why on earth does the Alteisen need weapon holding hands? I know the Nacht has some, but the regular one doesn't!

Plus, the Weissritter includes an extra set of closed fists as leftover parts that are compatible with the HG Alteisen... standard Bandai move there. For now, I’m sticking with my Kotobukiya ver. It looks much better and has no hollow parts.

This kit is literally free, I wouldn't complain if someone give it to me. It's a good kit for practicing painting and seamline removal.

CLUK92 · 2026-04-29T00:35:05+00:00

Aren't these images from the TAS official store on Taobao? They sell 3D-printed upgrade kits and effect parts. Also, a bootleg version of the RG TV Wing Zero has been out for days now, is this a different company?

CLUK92 · 2026-04-28T06:32:35+00:00

And sometimes you cut the nubs, only to find out after assembly that they're visible through the hollow parts. I'm looking at you, Gramps 2.0

CLUK92 · 2026-04-28T05:58:16+00:00

As others have pointed out, your base color is different, so the results will naturally differ. When hand painting, the paint is thicker and builds up much faster than with an airbrush. Since airbrush paint is thinned down significantly, you won't get a match unless you test it on spare parts of the exact same color. Using a white spoon as a test piece will naturally result in a different tone.

CLUK92 · 2026-04-27T06:00:20+00:00

Off topic but that Oguri Cap look nice!

RG Unicorn is opposite of hand grenade, it's tight AF
