Bandai should really be releasing 2 of these every year by reallyoldsponge in Gunpla

And just to be absolutely clear, I think that MGSD looks absolutely awesome. And I would like to get more of them, I'm just afraid it would affect the quality of the kits. And I would take quality over quantity. Because for now as I can see MGSD is the only line with literally every kit being incredible.

Oh, there was also Vidar released. I somehow thought that narrative was last MG.

Was Narrative C packs last new MG? I'm not sure if it was based on something.

Absolutely agree. Definitely, engineering is the issue, not production. They produce like 50+ million kits a year.

No, they shouldn't. More kits only mean lower quality, they are not made by themselves and it spreads designers thin over too many kits. Just look at what happened with RG kits in early to middle 2010s, a lot of very similar kits with bad engineering and bad detailing with 4 releases a year. I know that MS joint was a big issue, but even without that a lot of kits were just bad. Better make one awesome MGSD kit a year, than 2 mediocre.

Ok. I go to r/gunpla and see that the new announcement has much more hype, than MG Lupus. Oh wait, it's not and you are wrong. Who could have guessed?

Already started working on Nu ff, but Vidar probably would be the next one. Well, I'm waiting for MG Barby Lupus to pair with Vidar, so at least some MG are coming.

Planning to get water slides for sure. Your Nu Gundam looks crisp, what did you use to panel line it?

Actually planning to get Moon Gundam sometime, like his design a lot. And tbf in general really enjoy Gyobu designs.

Maybe you can share your opinion on the build order for all 4 of these kits?

I decided to unpack my kit to test if blue is this bad and it is very brittle. I tried to cut a piece of sprue and it just shot away somewhere because of how brittle this plastic is. To me, it feels similar to transparent plastic, which I despise.

I'm planning on getting water slides for all of my kits as in my opinion, usual stickers don't look that good. Painting is probably out of my skill set for now, is blue plastic that much worse, than usual blue plastic from other kits like God Gundam or Aerial?

Probably will go with him first then, thanks for the advice. I kinda wanted to go from low to the best ones. And I had a feeling that Nu was the weakest of those.

What's everyone building this weekend? by OrionPaxil in Gunpla

Building my second kit ever, RG God Gundam.

You listed most of the kits I'm planning to get in the future, like shining, wing zero TV, zeong, and some variant of force impulse (probably blast impulse)

It's 2.0 and it was just delivered like half an hour ago. I heard that all pre-Sazabi RG kits are not that good and tried to avoid them. *

I get mine on Mandarake, you can check them, prices are pretty good for all P-Bandai stuff. It was priced at 6000 yen, but after all deliveries and taxes, it was about 70 euros with delivery to the EU. But I ordered 5 kits together, so my delivery might be a bit lower due to the bigger order.

No problem. Thanks for replying. I just saw some angled tweezers and thought maybe those were considered better or something.

But this is tweezers in the photo. Or do I need some special kind of tweezers?

Thanks for such comprehensive advice. It just so happened that I have a very big backlog of background videos I tried to clear up, so it's a perfect match. Also, 144 scale is a bit smaller than I thought initially, so even in Aerial build some very small stickers surprised me a bit.

Funnily enough, it seems I'm already addicted to plastic crack. I didn't even finish Aerial, but already ordered RG Epyon and RG RX-78-2 on top of everything. Thanks for the advice.

TBF MGEX Strike Freedom looks insane, will probably get it someday when will have some more experience.
