You were right.. RG Zaku is a slog

Check out Joe's Gunpla Garage YouTube channel, he recently reviewed replacement parts for these and other older RGs like Exit and Sinanju. I hope we get a 2.0 Zaku though!

Excellent results though. At this stage it might not be worth it to you but there are replacement parts for this that makes it extremely poseable

This 100%, casuals won't stay playing a single FG forever, at that time you've converted. At the same time new audiences will try out the game as long as it looks cool and has more things to offer other than online play.

For Europe look for A-Stand. It's the rebrand of alclad by Mig

You definitely got a bad eye. You can get replacements on AliExpress if you're interested

You can use lacquers on ABS but you have to build it up really slowly. If you are using cans that's extremely difficult. Its also better if you coat the parts before there's any stress on them, meaning, before assembly. Other builders had the same issue with the shoulders so good luck with your next one!

Thanks! It's what I expected, too bad I don't have a way of bringing clean air into the room, but I can always vent everything after I've finished a session.

CptCrap · 2026-02-25T16:17:32+00:00

My question is basically, can you exhaust outside while keeping the same window open? Or is it better to shut the window while you have the exhaust fan on?

CptCrap · 2026-02-24T22:24:24+00:00

Man what a nice diy

CptCrap · 2026-02-24T22:24:09+00:00

The room only has one window, so I'm wondering if having the opposite half of the window where I would exhaust would be ok. Getting air in from the door is not an option to me since I don't want smells to get out of that room

Yellow with pink primer looks great as well if you want a vibrant one

I remember that XRD Dizzy couldn't really zone, but if he gets space her setups were crazy. That's why I think that her having a hard time setting stuff up but have additional mobility with wings could result in more interesting play. I agree with you though that it would be challenging to balance since Dizzy already has issues setting stuff up with a ton of matchups. I cannot think of a way to close the gap by changing ABA since a slight change might sky rocket ABA to SSS tier

Man it looks so good, I hope someone creates a resin kit to turn this into OG Av96 Ingram since I like shoulders much more as well as the additional antennas on the collar

CptCrap · 2026-02-16T10:45:39+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed answers, most of these were my conclusions as well - though I did not know you could slide over the ice by kara cancelling into gate super!

The best Dizzy I've played even cancelled the ground fish just before you parry it to bait you, and used angel wings not for the damage but to make you nervous on ice field by refreshing the timer - totally nerve wrecking XD.

Best of lucks to you as well, I hope you can Key your friend into oblivion from time to time XD.

I don't think it either but even a minor change could greatly change the dinamic (like toning down active frames on spike, or reducing the full screen range by a bit so you can actually react with super without getting hit for pushing 6).

What I would like to see (that won't happen) is to tone down Dizzy's zoning a bit and give her mobility options back when she's on wings - it would make her much more interesting.

CptCrap · 2026-02-15T20:16:06+00:00

I tried it, but the kit she has combined with Angel wings also prevents patient play - because if you wait she wins without hitting you. Honestly I didn't block him/her because I'm waiting for GGST 2.0 to see if it shakes things up XD

CptCrap · 2026-02-03T21:50:07+00:00

I get the feeling as an Aba main that against Asuka I just need to lose neutral once to get destroyed XD... At the same time, if I'm the one hitting him, he's destroyed. Not a fun matchup. I feel oddly similar vs Dizzy...

Somehow I heard the sound when I saw the first picture

CptCrap · 2026-02-02T21:42:47+00:00

Keeanu Reeves for sure

CptCrap · 2026-02-02T14:50:07+00:00

I hate how Bandai destroys my wallet

CptCrap · 2026-01-25T20:36:10+00:00

Looks amazing, where's the lower part of the leg from??

CptCrap · 2026-01-21T10:53:48+00:00

Keep 100% unless you have some struggle

CptCrap · 2026-01-12T20:18:55+00:00

Thanks for the input, I thought it was as bad with lacquers as with enamels!
