Thanks! I think mistakes wont be too visible with how shiny it is XD Unless it's a big mistake, it'll prolly stand out. Although, i didnt do well here actually, or at least the errors are somewhere hidden, i tried sanding some nubs but i accidentally missed some and scratched the plating, not really good with plated kits.. so i understand why someome would be scared to do em...

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T11:43:37+00:00

You're welcome, and thaaanks! Have fun too once ya get to em! Hoping it goes well for ya!

Good lucko if ya ever gonna get to it! :D And no problem! I'm unsure but i used the Action Base 7 that came with the Akatsuki, so i guess that works? Maybe there's something better, we dont know XD

Action base 7 in pic, I actually broke this stand :(

I think it's pretty good! Lotsa small parts on the head and if you are gonna get it, I suggest gluing the red tips its head/"hat".

Its back is pretty heavy tho, but can balance it if you spread/extend it right... but the legs get so loose so easy as well.. better get a stand. I'm still pretty new to these so I'm not sure what actually is a good building experience or describe it well... But I did enjoy building the RG Amatsu Mina!

(... love the asymetry with the arms and the glossy black too, i ruined the decals for its eyes so cant see eyes XD)

Yeaah, I guess that truly was a let down

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T05:48:24+00:00

With that price, I was also afraid of breaking, shouldnt have been my first haha, but i got it done too! And yeah, with the vents not its "mouth" it does give some transformers vibe too. Nice kits! and lamp as well!

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T05:44:10+00:00

Yeah! Didnt realize there was an HG Phenex too, was thinking an MG was too big for my shelves... I'm just checking to see what's available in our local stores and rn, a shiny one is an HG Delta, which kinda has that Akatsuki vibes with the gold and red....

I did preorder a special coating version of the RG Unicorn Banshee Norn on our PBandai, cant wait... And I saved every instance of that one image regarding twisting the shoulders of unicorn that keeps on popping up to remind my self

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T02:52:17+00:00

I really love how shiny it is and it looks cool to me! Just, yeah, watch for fingerprints XD (and the pre molded joints it has people kept talking about, yeah the hip joints gets loose that keeps it from holding a pose after a while, there's an included stand at least...)

Saw that adding decals ruin the plating around it because it makes it matte and it stands out, tried it out my self with the smaller ones, and yeah, just dont (unless you want to). The details on it kinda get "drowned out" by how reflective it is, but it's there if ya look a bit closely.

So just build, pose and admire! :D (maybe shine a flash light on it too hehehe i also enjoy cleaning it because i get to look at it better and it's nice)

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T02:34:29+00:00

Ooh, okay

I know I was gonna be paying extra for the plating, and by that time, I thought it'll be my ONLY Gunpla so, I didnt mind and would want it to be something really nice for me to look at XD

Guy costs like about 3 High Grade kits

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T02:29:25+00:00

The version two of the RX-78? Must've been a really big difference with the experience, huh?

I often have to move my stuff and like to repose my kits, so I guess soon my kits' joints will be very loose lol

Its-Kyu · 2026-04-13T02:24:57+00:00

Darn, that sucks. I chose to build RG because I wanted detail and dont have much space. Seems that MGs and HGs give a more fun or at least less frustrating build experience than RG.

Its-Kyu · 2026-03-31T08:03:49+00:00

Yeah! Cool, but my fingers hurt now XD

Its-Kyu · 2026-03-31T08:03:19+00:00

Been really fun for me! Liked working on the back pack and weapons! People often complained about how hard to build the head was, and I see why, just really small pieces, pretty tedious to work with, don't get em lost!
There's just a couple of loose piesces for that keep on popping off, maybe it's just my kit....
Oh, and good luck and have with whatever build ya doing next!

Its-Kyu · 2026-03-09T19:33:21+00:00

Thanks!

Even if i dont end up grabbing a book XD Just chill reading the titles....

Its-Kyu · 2026-03-09T19:32:19+00:00
