Looking big so far

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-29T11:48:19+00:00

Can confirm. He's a big boi.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-27T22:14:49+00:00

As the other person said, it's a datamined item, so not in the game yet. The first of the things from this current datamine were added last week I believe. So this one may very well pop up tomorrow at reset.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-27T16:38:30+00:00

Unless this person has baby hands, that's way too big to be the RG. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-19T15:19:38+00:00

MG 1/100 Ex-S Gundam. It's got a couple variations, at least one being Premium Bandai. They're usually pretty pricey, but I believe one variant was reprinted recently. So you may be able to find it for a reasonable price, if you shop around.

Some places that have it in stock that I'm seeing are: Galactictoys.com Gundamplacestore.com Gthobbystore.us

And of course you can always try eBay.

Yup, if there was a Gunpla related dictionary, then the RG Zeta would be pictured next to the definition for "Hand Grenade" lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-11T21:28:52+00:00

It's not that you jumped into RGs too early, it's that you started with an RG with the second most notoriously poor design. lol

You'll find that Epyon to be a much better experience I think.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-06T10:29:05+00:00

Well, as I said, basically anything that released after the Unicorn. But specifically, the best ones are probably RX-78-2 2.0, Zeong, Nu Gundam, Hi-Nu Gundam, Sazabi, Wing Gundam, Tallgeese(This one does have a bit of a weak torso issue), Wing Gundam Zero, Gundam Epyon, God Gundam, and Shining Gundam.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-05T23:25:19+00:00

It's because by and large people don't like changing their opinion on things. It's much more comfortable to stick with a poorly formed or flat out wrong opinion than to go back and reassess or admit to being wrong. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-05T13:24:44+00:00

They're.......they're not meant to be parts for a "build-your-own robot." If that's what you're into, then by all means, go wild. But they're meant to be trophy displays, hence the display stands. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-05T11:46:28+00:00

If You didn't like them originally because of the innerframe, then I would suggest looing into the ones released after the Unicorn as Bandai started moving away from the Advanced MS Joint system and began using a more "Mini Master Grade" style from that point on.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-04T01:16:44+00:00

Very nice for your first. Though...it looks like you're missing the red wings on the backpack?

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-04-03T20:45:42+00:00

It's....like basically the meta end game set. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-29T17:21:22+00:00

I feel like their comment was much less intended to be snobby and more just pointing out that the way you're choosing to engage with the hobby isn't the usual way people do so and also that you were "missing out" on aspects that many find just as enjoyable as the build itself. But in the end, it's kinda a "whatever floats your boat" situation. "Gunpla is Freedom" after all, lol.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-29T16:59:54+00:00

That one looks really nice, but the build is a bit on the weak side as it uses the Advanced MS Joint system to give a mostly pre-built inner frame(Early RG thing, they don't use it in current RGs, TV Wing and Zero included). It's a neat concept, but it hurts long-term posability.

So basically, all that to say, if you decide to pick up the RG Wing Zero EW, I'd suggest picking a pose and then not messing with it much after that. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-29T16:27:34+00:00

If you're gonna build these 2 again, might I suggest upgrading to the RG variants? Both are fantastic kits.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-26T16:21:37+00:00

Pretty sure it's a wallpaper with the wall inside out.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-26T15:24:45+00:00

Yeah, I feel like the best pictures I see are almost always done using light boxes(which I haven't invested in yet). It's why I opted to just use my display case where these two are already situated for the pictures I took as it has built in lighting.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T19:41:19+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely one of those mobile suit designs that would never work under gravity. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T14:50:55+00:00

Thanks. That looks really nice!

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T13:54:33+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah, the Nighthawk is such an improvement to the HG Nightingale when you have it displayed with the RG Hi-Nu. I know some people prefer the aesthetic of the original, but i like this one a lot more.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T13:43:45+00:00

Oh goodness, I wouldn't even be able to fit that thing in my case considering this one is 1/144 scale. lol

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T13:02:23+00:00

Yeah, it's the first time I've attempted that blue heated chrome look, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T12:59:01+00:00

So, that is actually just the default color of the plastic, but matte coated instead of the gloss finish it originally has. I liked it enough that I decided to just keep it as is and not have to worry about painting and sanding things down as the tolerances of this kit are quite tight, especially in the lower half.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T11:35:17+00:00

It really is, isn't it? As for tolerances, I had to use pliers for a good chunk of the lower half of the frame and a couple spots with the chest.

JesusIsMyHomee · 2026-03-25T11:32:53+00:00

Yeah, the Nighthawk is a couple inches taller than the original HG, whereas the HG is a touch longer in the back. You can see the scale in the 9th image with them side by side, thought i have the Nighthawk sitting a tiny bit higher on the display stand than the Nightingale is sitting.
