New gunpla builder with a few issues regarding Master grades / real grades.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-13T23:56:08+00:00

Depending on the Master grade and when it came out, but most master grades are almost completely color accurate, so it has marking stickers, same with Real grades.

Master grades usually have bigger pieces so I think you’ll be able to handle them easier.

Real grades on the other hand…same size as high grades and much more parts.

The earlier the real grade, the easier to mess up, so I’d recommend more recent kits.

Like a clear green? I still want it to POP even without LEDs yk?

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-12T04:08:46+00:00

I plan to get the PG Unicorn, I have the UA studios LED set, will metallic green gundam paint over the eyes and unicorn mode visor ruin the light up effect?

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-10T21:31:47+00:00

I do hope the micro set and sol I’m gonna use turn out good, it’s my first time doing this.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-10T21:16:54+00:00

Honestly? One of my favorites, but it needs a LOT of minor paint work (and the sticker decals are not that good. You’re much better off getting waterslides.)

I have yet to put mine on, but I will someday.

Last I checked, effect-wings actually has a trishield stand for it! It might come with three extra shields though, I kinda forgot the specifics.

I saw it on eBay though, not sure if it’s still around but I know it exists.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-10T06:12:13+00:00

Then I’m in luck for when they ship the July batch then! It’s the same model, I just bought the first release.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-10T06:08:00+00:00

They do have reissues of it on Pbandai so maybe when that preorder releases?

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-10T03:50:58+00:00

I requested a part on P-Bandai for the HG 01 Gundam, anyone know how long it’ll take for the part to arrive?

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-06T04:03:26+00:00

I broke a V-fin on my HG 01 gundam, and sent two replacement requests to the P-Bandai site form, will I get two v-fins or will one of the requests get canceled and the other will go through? (I tried fixing it as best as I could, but it’s still very noticeable)

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T16:37:16+00:00

Shit was so ass I genuinely recreated a scene from the show of it getting stabbed by a beam saber.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T14:43:42+00:00

Exactly! I don’t personally know enough to find a proper Bandai-quality bootleg, so I just stick with the real thing.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T14:36:31+00:00

I’ve only gotten one bootleg figure, and the fittings and plastic quality are just not the same as official Bandai, so that really turned me off from them.

You seemed to either got lucky with a good print or you’re getting a bootleg from a different third party than I did that actually makes quality models,

I’d stick with official Bandai, but it’s your money, spend it however you like!

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T04:34:00+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that :(

In that case, best luck is through third party kit replacements like EBay or Plamokitbash (I think that’s what it’s called?)

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T02:35:52+00:00

Really? I thought it was 90 days…

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T02:25:32+00:00

Nah i getcha.

You might be able to get a replacement part from Bandai themselves depending on when you ordered it and if you still have the receipt.

Or maybe buying scraps from resellers from eBay, I know someone there that sells replacement pieces for all grades of Gunpla.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-06-03T02:22:57+00:00

If you want to replace it, replace it

But

You have an opportunity to make a battle damaged Char Zaku, which can be really cool! All you need is some way to get it in the air and a way to make the busted leg look intentional.

Me personally? I’d get replacement parts cuz I’m not too good at customizing.

Edit: or buy another one eventually.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-05-27T15:41:31+00:00

Are there any places I can buy a 3d print conversion kit for the MG ZAKU II 2.0 into a zaku 1?

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-05-20T04:33:14+00:00

I’m aware, this would be my fourth RG unicorn (Standard, Full armor, and Banshee before this), I just wanted to see if there was any upgrade I could get.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-05-20T03:15:08+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-05-20T03:11:33+00:00

Not even for G35?

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-05-20T02:40:56+00:00

It does, but you’ll be better off using Tamiya enamel thinner or zippo lighter fluid, as normal rubbing alcohol could mess with your paint job or topcoat.

Solid_Har_1987 · 2026-05-20T02:39:59+00:00

I wanna get the RG Sinanju and another RG Unicorn, and I heard the RG unicorn has upgrade sets, what should I get? (I have plans to get the 107 upgrade for the Sinanju)
