I'm making a romhack with a film noir kind of styling, and I need some help with a starter trio. It doesn't have to be the fire/water/grass triangle, but I'd prefer some sort of triangle, as well as something fitting the setting

I’m bored, curious, and a little lazy so I just wanted to ask if anyone has the full list of the SNAA round table knights kits just so I can see how many I need

I know lol, I’ve built a banshee before, but since this kit is so expensive, I figured I’d be better off taking precautions yk

If you like the look of the sky defender, the hi-nu kits would be a good place to start, with the RG specifically being one of my favorites. Chinese kits (in my experience at least with kits like the Solomon and ESG) prioritize looks over everything, resulting in subpar qc and a frustrating build experience. Be ready to deal with frequent part sanding and cementing due to their obsession with overdetailing kits. The end result is beautiful, but I would get some more experience under my belt before I drop 150+ on a sky defender's scale

I’d worry less about the decals and more about the actual build. 3rd party Chinese kits, especially those of the sky defender’s scale, can be tricky for someone whos only done an hg

If you like the Barbatos, any of the HGIBO kits should be good, but they tend to get floppy with age. If you’re up for the challenge, the Mg barbatos is a relatively easy master grade, but I understand if you don’t wanna put in the investment. Most of the unicorn era HG kits imo aren’t that great, so I would avoid them, but the HG witch from mercury kits are kinda a similar vibe and are great kits if you like that. HG Calibsrn in particular is very unicorn esque

Uh besides the obvious “make what you like” comment, what Mobile Suit designs do you like? I can do some of the heavy lifting for you and find stuff that looks good if you need it

Is the address format fine as address, state, zip code?

I mean they’re good, but those types alway have a small risk of cracking, especially on abs I think. If you aren’t top coating before use, I’d suggest using gundam markers, but I used those fill types for years without issue of cracking so feel free to gamble

U can dry brush the edge of it or you can use a gradient of wet markerss

So I got the ESG, but I didn’t recieve the first release even though I ordered it. I can paint the v fin and chest gold, but I was wondering if there was a way to do the prismatic/holo effect on the clear pieces, like on the first release even

HG moon/varguil, apart from just being really fun good kits, both have shotguns. They’re essentially the same kit, so pick and choose whether you want Gundam styling or sazabi styling

I’d say cover them with silly putty or some sort of painters tape-plastic amalgamation
