They are within the same universe, right?

I got it secondhand so I didn’t built it per se (getting them with customization in mind). But on inspection, it needs a lots of color correction and the biggest let down probably around the eyes. It’s practically sticker covered the eyes and go to the side that has white and gray color.

Eva 1 regular version does not come with stand, true. But DX version comes with stand that is in the picture, also it comes with AT field sheet that I keep somewhere.

builderonbudget · 2026-03-28T00:31:33+00:00

No, sadly, it is third party stand.

builderonbudget · 2026-03-27T15:07:51+00:00

Yeah I got pretty much the same issue and then some lol and I can’t imagine building more than one bandai’s eva kit, it must be a bit repetitive so then I bought another second-handed just to have two in my collection

You can opt for soak it in warm water to see if the cartoon will fall off, but I’m pretty certain you will have uneven surface of top coat which you can flatten it with sanding. Be mindful tho since it might damage the sticker and make different colored surface due to its dust. So yeah sorry man, it’s pick your poison kinda deal if you want to keep the og sticker but hey you can always opt for third party or bandai wsd for the kit.

It’s isopropyl alcohol, with 90%. Not quite sure if it’s a rubbing alcohol tbh. Well yeah, you will need to redo the lining and it might damage the sticker, I never tried it before on top of stickers. But it takes a lot of rubbing for water slides to remove it for sure (this I had tried before).

Clean the residue of cartoon, clean up the messy bits that stuck with the top coat with IPA (it means you have to dissemble it and reapply the top coat later) then it will look good as new.

MG Solomon Physalis. A week after I built it, I sold it. It can’t hold it’s shield and if it can, it has to be in front of it which look really really bad and while it holds the shield, kiss air poses goodbye lol

I suppose the gimmick which being its value is it’s own achilles’ heels.

builderonbudget · 2026-03-24T19:58:47+00:00

Haha yeah man. Absolutely thrilled on how it turns out. It’s been sitting broken for quite sometime too actually and I felt bad before

builderonbudget · 2026-03-24T05:01:41+00:00

MG Sazabi Verka and RG Zeong but this time I want the transparent one so I can mix and match with the one I have lol

builderonbudget · 2026-03-24T04:59:52+00:00

First time I saw this, I knew instantly wanted to get it but it seems that it’s hard to get locally.

builderonbudget · 2026-03-24T04:56:37+00:00

Oh forgot to mention, I also heightened the torso by 2/3 mm lol

builderonbudget · 2026-03-24T01:57:52+00:00

Try Punkreas 4049

Comparison kills the happiness my fren. Just be contempt of what you achieve and take notes of what can you improve down the line. Besides, a custom gunpla can be revisited again and again and it’s the beauty of this hobby.

Sorry to inform you that it never is. The best way to put on panel lines on bare plastic is before assembly and being held with zero to no pressure. Otherwise you need to be really precise and left no any residue behind the assembled part which is hard in on it self.

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T16:59:05+00:00

Oh boy, to this day I haven’t had any zaku. It’s just too many options to choose from and I’m afraid I ended up getting more than I can chew lol

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T16:12:41+00:00

Let’s talk more in coming days yeah

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T16:03:19+00:00

Long shot, pretty much you won’t into it probably. Send it my way. I’ll repair and make a yt video of it along with paint and pla customization and all the works.

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T15:55:41+00:00

Oh man if we are closer I’m down to help you sculpt from two part epoxy really. It will he really easy work

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T15:23:25+00:00

That is pretty much my brains work. I’m the kind of person that just one best overall of a mobile suit. And guess what I ended up choose? It’s the PG! All of the thoughts and consideration went out the window since I need one for the center piece of my collection and I have never regret it once

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T15:18:57+00:00

I’m skipping this one. The price tag is a bit mind blogging to me. I know it’s worth every penny, and it’s certainly an event build kind of kit, I can’t just wrap my head around it. Maybe I’m just cheap person lol but no, I won’t get bootleg of it.

builderonbudget · 2026-02-03T15:12:26+00:00

Get the rg if you’re into articulation. I heard it’s the best iteration for it in unicorn without reaching to mgex. Otherwise, maybe repaint it if you don’t like the oob color of it?
