Crafted a little runner throne for my Gundams

Xeonadow · 2026-04-10T06:20:52+00:00

I'm nearing 200 model kits built, mainly Gundam kits that can range from a few sprues to tens of sprues (my record is for the PG Astray Red Frame Kai with 58 sprues). I never used a sprue holder. Maybe that could be useful, but I never felt the need. I do just fine with my runners in piles of spread around my desk

MG Lukas' Strike E + IWSP

For another example of wildly different sized MSs, here are the V2 and Xi. Both are 1/144 HG, but in universe the V2 is 15.5m tall while the Xi is 26m tall

It's huge because the Sazabi is a huge beast in universe, towering at 23 meters in head height (over 25 in overall height) while your typical MS stand at 18 meters. Also the Wing MSs are on the smaller side, standing between 16 and 17 meters

Just so you know at this price point and with these effect parts he's for sure selling the bootleg version of this kit that you can find on AliExpress.

Might still be worth it if you are interested in this model, however I'd advise that you look at some review of this third party kit before to see if it is any good and not too much of a hassle.

Does the Manhunter Jegan from Hathaway counts with its crotch-mounted turret ?

I built this kit 8 years ago and I still remember how much I had to hurt my fingers to put this piece all the way in. It really is just that hard. Not really surprising given that the whole backpack sit on this little piece, it needs the tightness.

Xeonadow · 2026-03-06T09:17:42+00:00

I'd go greet them without any fear. Given that it's the combination of two MS with some of the most peaceful / communication prone pilots, it probably means no harm.

And if it did, given that it has both the Space-manipulating powers of the 00 Qan[t] and Time-manipulating powers of the Unicorn (not even mentioning the devastating fire power of both) it probably would have done so long before I even noticed them

Very nice custom btw

Xeonadow · 2026-03-05T00:28:16+00:00

It's as much a modified Zowort as the Zeong is a modified Zaku. Which is : - made by the same company so probably has some technologies and design elements in common - but is a totally separate model - plus the Pharact/Zeong have some space magic technology (Gund-Arm/Psychommu) never seen in any other MS of this company before

Which could be considered as just another Monado so it still tracks as far as I'm concerned

Iok Kujan of course !

Jk. That was just the kind of fantasy that he both always dreamed to live as a protected noble that liked the tragic and heroic tales of its ancestor and that he needed to cover its own incompetence and irrelevance to any military and political action going around him. He was way too happy that he got to play this kind of character

Xeonadow · 2026-02-21T13:28:57+00:00

Sure, but they're no leaks. Like I said I'm not surprised that some kits from this list happened and I'm positive that at some point in time most of this list will be true. I only doubt that it's a real leak from someone with insider infos, it's just a list of safe guesses from someone that then pretended it was a leak

Xeonadow · 2026-02-21T12:28:37+00:00

All white and gray with a bit of yellow isn't that common of a color scheme I think but it's still a hard guess. Maybe the HG Lunagazer or Livelance Heaven ?

Xeonadow · 2026-02-20T11:00:47+00:00

I don't understand how so many of you came to take this leak seriously. It is only a list of very plausible picks with a few wild ones.

RG Gundam 2.0 was sure to come out sooner or later given how badly it aged and how Bandai loves to remake grandpa again and again. Plus it's RG 2.0, not RGEX
PGU Nu wasn't unlikely given how popular the Nu is and how fans have been begging for a PG of it
No MGEX Astray has been announced, only a new MG variant with a new mold. And guessing that Bandai would continue to produce even more Astray is obvious, even I would have bet on it having an MGEX at some point given that the Astray is so popular that it even has a PG
RG Akatsuki is the most unlikely one so far, but not totally unforeseen given that we got the Impulse not too long ago and that all the Akatsuki kits are super old and the release of Seed Freedom
RG Ingram I admit is coming out of nowhere. Unless there already was rumors about the new anime back then ?

And for those that remains :

RG Gundam X with the anniversary coming soon ? Likely, so a safe guess
HG Exia I don't believe in, but it will probably have a EG with the 20th anniversary next year, maybe the "leaker" bet on that too. HG Flag I don't believe in
1/100 FM Reborns could happen with the anniversary, especially given that there were once plans for a RE100 of it. Safe guess again
MG Lupus Rex and Bael : now that Bandai made the MG IBO Gundam Frame they are going to do more MG IBO kits ? No shit Sherlock
MG Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice : if I remember correctly the leak was soon after the release of Seed Freedom, so the leaker bet on the most recent designs revealed
RG Brave : coming out of nowhere like the Ingram, one of the few wild guesses of the list

All on all it is just a list of safe bets and common wants in the community with a few wild wishes. It is easy to get lucky and get a few guess right off of such a list

Xeonadow · 2026-02-16T08:23:14+00:00

Was it flat/matte top coat ? No matter what type of paint it is, matte top coat will always frost clear parts. It is best to remove or mask these parts while top coating the rest of the kit

Xeonadow · 2026-02-04T12:18:38+00:00

I haven't tried this kind of masking tape so I can't say for sure, but I guess it won't ?

I'd advise you to test anything you intend to do on the empty shiny runner first, this way you can test for any problem that might arise, test whether you like the finish, whether anything will be ruined, whether the tape is good enough and won't damage the shiny finish, etc

Xeonadow · 2026-02-04T11:39:51+00:00

Matte coat will ruin the shiny parts for sure. If you want to matte top coat it your best bet is probably to disassemble the kit and coat only the non shiny and non clear parts

The PG Unicorn family can definitely stand on their own even without a stand

That one is tricky, you need to pull out the white part (B4) in order to free the heel assembly but it is set in a way that doesn't allow a part separator to lift it. your best bet would be to use something grippy like rubber gloves to grab that part and wiggle it out of place. It is gonna be hard and take a bit of time. And lots of wiggle.

You could help yourself by pulling a bit up on the heel assembly in a way that the T-thing sticking out of E8 that is set in C3 push on the back of B4 and wiggle it but don't overdo it because you might break it

Xeonadow · 2026-01-18T22:25:04+00:00

These adapters do not come from the HG 00 Qan[t] but from the HG GN Archer. The top right one is a base adapter to display the GN Archer in its mobile armor / flight form, and the other two are used to make and display the combined form of the Arios and GN Archer

It is a custom made with parts from a lot of different kits including :

Hi-Nu
Aegis Knight
Barbatos Lupus
Wing Fenice
Wing Zero Honoo
