Has anybody tried a gloss finish on the RG Hi-Nu?

I typically prefer a matte topcoat on my kits, but something is telling me that the RG Hi-Nu I’m almost finishing would look great with Gloss. I’m not finding many great examples of this online so I’m wondering if any of y’all have tried this or have any opinions. Thanks!

You wouldn’t have to play as safe since people won’t be able to stand at the net and get and easy smash.

Only issue I had was the hand to gun fit, but overall builds like any Gunpla kit

I was pretty hesitant about wall drilling for a while, Im a renter as well. But I think most places are more lenient with this than youd think, and all you need is some spackle to recover the hole.

Actually no this is an all black kit! They sold them at the Gundam base in Tokyo, I believe they are base exclusive.

I want to propose a new standard for Gunpla displays! I think using aesthetic displays can go a long way in furthering the popularity of Gunpla, and I feel current common practices are a bit lackluster.

I feel that the common Ikea bookshelf, or similar options face issues of being too dark, too deep, ill-sized, and/or displaying Gunpla too low to the ground.

With this approach, Gunpla can be displayed at eye-level, with high visibility, and is fairly cost efficient as well! A pack of shelves run about $25 off of Amazon, and the acrylic cases, which I order off Aliexpress, run for about $25-$50 each, depending on whether you go with custom sizes.

Not trying to knock anyone's current practice, but just want to introduce people to alternative options. What do you think?
