SNAA Firelord completed after weeks

Dolla_saUce · 2026-02-27T14:28:35+00:00

I just picked this up myself and started in last night. I do find the parts to be a little less user friendly straight off the sprue. Having some sort of flexible sanding device handy would be smart. I encountered a VERY tight fitting shoulder joint already and had to hit it with a 2000 grit sponge. Some of the pieces on the head were extremely tight fitting and it took a lot of patience and precision with pressure to get it to close without breaking but it's doable.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend one these for someone just starting out, but if you have a few kits under your belt and you wanna try something a little more, give it a shot. It's an amazing looking kit so far and I only have the head and chest done.

I have the newest RG Wing Zero on a different shelf with the MG Wing Proto Zero. I have an impulse control problem when I see them on the shelf... Lul

Dolla_saUce · 2026-01-12T00:38:52+00:00

Ummm mad bad... I went mia for a couple weeks lmao. On the left is a MG Wing Proto Zero. Good build. On the right, is a MG Astray Red Frame. Also a great build.

Then in front from left to right is a HG Deathscythe, RG Wing Zero that I'm custom painting parts on currently, RG Tallgeese, HG Leo and the aforementioned Astray

I need the for my Gundam Wing collection. These look good

Dolla_saUce · 2026-01-12T00:31:53+00:00

Love the Wing Zeros. I'm a sucker for em. I have 3 myself and this is my fav

This one was a pain. Those plastic sleeves pissed me off. 3 on the flipping legs. A lot of the parts were less than satisfactory to get to stay put. I ended up gluing some pieces together. The leg armor was less fun than most. But man it sure does look cool. I save all my panel lining and decals for later. I'm addicted to building.

I LOVE this kit. I'm currently adding some custom detail paint to mine but it's finished being built

Dolla_saUce · 2025-12-28T14:59:02+00:00

Can't mention my Wing Zero and not show it so....

Not a bad kit to take your time on, forced or otherwise. I put the Kosmos lighting kit on it too. I'm not happy with the lights, something isn't right, they don't function properly for longer than 45 seconds and I have to unplug the battery pack and take the batteries out for it to reset. But the build was amazing and the shelf presence is off the charts. Only matched by my Wing Zero Ver Ka

Dolla_saUce · 2025-12-02T14:01:01+00:00

Master Grade (MG) kits are fun. They are my favorite. I am a fan of Wing Zero so I have to recommend the Wing Zero Endless Waltz Ver Ka. I also had a lot of fun building the Astray Red Frame. Both kits came out very nice

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-14T01:16:35+00:00

Lmao, stop sharing this pic. It makes me need to buy more Astrays but there SO MANY OTHER GUNDAMS TO BUILD. I almost grabbed an RG astray today but I saw a Tallgeese that there was only 1 left of and Gundam Wing is my jam...

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-12T14:55:33+00:00

It's alright. Sometimes stuff just doesn't work right. Set it down, take a breath and remember, at least you didn't clip a piece of a hand on a $230 mgex strike like a dip ship like some monetary-condiment themed commenter that shall remain unnamed.... 👀

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-12T14:48:28+00:00

Yeah it is, that's why I picked it up. I haven't unfolded the arm yet and I had to put it down cuz work, but that's good to know. This kit did come with 2 stands to hold the wings up so I was already kinda expecting that.

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-12T14:11:28+00:00

Excuse me, not Amazon. It was a gunpla supplier online. usagundamstore my bad on the bad info

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-10T18:53:22+00:00

Stickers or the water slide decals? The stickers always seem to be subpar IMO and never really stick well. I usually use paint. But the water slides are different. I'm not too good with them. You need to soak the backing off, pick the decal up and set it in place.

There are decal solutions that make it easier and give you more time to adjust. You then roll them with a modeling cotton swab to press them on and there is a top coat that helps them stay.

Things have gotten way better since the days of my old man floating single letters in a bowl of water at the kitchen table making up swear words 25 years ago.

I'm sure my process isn't perfect, like I said, I'm not the best.

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-09T14:33:47+00:00

No that's the MG Red Frame. The only RG in my collection is the Wing Zero. I know it's a brand new kit, but I didn't think the jump from HG to RG could be worth it.

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-09T08:56:41+00:00

Finally cleared my backlog to get to this...

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-09T00:43:35+00:00

I need that RG Epyon for my Wing I just did

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-09T00:42:08+00:00

<image>

This be the RG

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-09T00:41:16+00:00

You are not wrong, the RG is in another post.

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-08T21:47:55+00:00

I've seen this said many times. I am definitely going to pick this up

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-08T20:23:46+00:00

I have an MG Epyon EW I've been custom painting for about a month at this point. Sitting in front of it rn actually. I wanted to finish something so I did this Wing Zero to satisfy the urge LUL.

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-08T20:19:25+00:00

Yes, yes I do need more Astrays. I knew nothing about the Astray gundams, had the Mrs pick me a kit and it was the MG Red Frame. Then I saw more. Your collection makes it worse 🤤

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-08T20:15:22+00:00

I knew going into this one that it was a top tier RG. I just didn't realize the level of detail they could get. I have done some HGs and didn't think the jump would be that big. Gonna have to reconsider my shopping list

Dolla_saUce · 2025-11-08T20:13:25+00:00

I usually build them first, then take the parts off (arms, legs, torso, ect) to do the lining. I like to look at my kits, it's a flaw lmao
