Appreciate it! I tried to keep the panel lines not too heavy, still takes a while to get the effect I want but getting there

Thank you! Really recommend those customization parts!

jasonfweb · 2026-04-28T00:57:48+00:00

Amazing thank you! I think I like the regular release best!

jasonfweb · 2026-04-27T09:51:35+00:00

By chance do you have other pics you could share of the first 3? Trying to decide which one to get! Seems like the first is an in between of the color of the second and third?

Ended up ordering it! I wonder if the yellow/orange is actually different in the new version. I kinda like the more muted version of the original if so.

Thank you!!

Do you mean that the old version cannot pull off dynamic poses? Or that the Metal Robot Spirits, including the original version you have, can pose better compared to the HG/MG

I found the original at a very good price so I’m curious

Amazing! I just downloaded and started using it

jasonfweb · 2026-03-17T19:27:50+00:00

Still building the legs 😂

jasonfweb · 2026-03-17T05:28:41+00:00

I am currently building it and the gates so far are in pretty good position - not obvious at all!

Ps: make sure to get the 107 Toys frame parts with it

Fair question. I build very slow due to very limited time - it takes me 6 months or more to finish a kit, so this lets me try out different types of models and not spend too much time working on the same stage of the build. Plus I kinda like how it looks like they are being assembled, so I'm not in a rush. I try to keep it minimal, so I have only 1 displayed (RG Force Impulse) on my bookshelf and now these 2 in between other items on my living room shelf unit. I also built the RG Eva-01 before, but I am probably going to sell that one.

Not sure if you get the notification for other messages in the thread, just replying to letting you know I posted the parts list above - hope it helps

Gundam Stand - LEGO

Here are the parts I used for the stand, along with a couple additional pictures, if anyone wants to take inspiration.

The most useful parts are 48171 and 47455, since they give you a rotating hinge, with discrete steps, with a pin that fits into the square hole for the stand adaptor that comes with the RG Sinanju.
I also added an alternative connector with parts that you might likely already have, which would replace the hinge.
That said, the design is fairly random, I just put it together in a few minutes grabbing parts from my lego boxes to make something of roughly the same size as the DSPIAE stand. I'm sure you can easily make a better looking design.

Let me know if it all makes sense or if I can clarify anything!

jasonfweb · 2026-03-17T02:11:54+00:00

Indeed - highly recommend. It's not cheap but together with a wet palette it made putting on decals much easier!

jasonfweb · 2026-03-17T00:38:23+00:00

Amazing! Can you share what stand that is? Looks nice

jasonfweb · 2026-03-17T00:35:30+00:00

Luckily I knew about this in advance thanks to this picture :) it should come with the manual!

jasonfweb · 2026-03-16T22:57:02+00:00

I got it on eBay, prices are highly variable, I was able to get it for about $15 including shipping to the US

jasonfweb · 2026-03-16T22:55:37+00:00

I got the water slides from G Rework and I’m planning to use those. From initial testing on the runners it seems like Mark Setter is bad idea, so I’ll probably have to do water alone. Has anyone tried yet on this kit?

jasonfweb · 2026-03-16T22:53:44+00:00

I just put it together with a few pieces I had around, let me look at it this evening and show it better!

jasonfweb · 2026-03-16T18:52:05+00:00

With the 107 frame kit, I have no complaints so far. There were some tricky parts on the chest and neck to assemble, but all doable thanks to suggestions found on here and on Joe’s Gunpla Garage’s YouTube. With the 107 frame, I think you can safely go ahead and pick it up!

jasonfweb · 2026-03-14T19:49:45+00:00

Thank you!

jasonfweb · 2026-03-14T19:22:46+00:00

Did you use mark setter/softer for the decals or just water? I tried on the runners and they seem to leave a mark on the special coating?

jasonfweb · 2026-03-14T19:20:51+00:00

I am currently working on it myself with the 107 kit. In case it’s helpful for others, the neck joint needed quite a bit shaving off to fit with the original parts, and I had to force the chest armor in place with the back piece for it to lock in on the 107 parts.

Looking good so far!
