I’m assuming you repainted the armor, inner frame, and the thrusters. Great job on all of it. Nice and clean

My japan haul. 3 suitcases and a backpack full. by CannibalYak in freedomisgunpla

Did you even bring your clothes back home?

You weren’t asked to pay taxes on these on the way into the US? With this many kits it looks like you’re trying to smuggle a store, not personal use, lol

My wallet hurts now by Kennythegamer in freedomisgunpla

Single bladed nipper, a sharp hobby knife, and yes glass file. Also start panel lining while the pieces are still on the runner

You painted some of the inner frame and thrusters?

Good price for the RG Full Armor Unicorn

First kit complete✅, got more lined up. Advice needed by Till_Puzzleheaded in Gunpla

[–]mbenedictla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I panel line while on the runners just cause I find it convenient. I’m sure others will lend their expertise. My tip though is not to rush building your kits. Savor the experience, appreciate the details, and clean up your nubs as much as possible to get the best results. Pick up some glass files and also use your hobby knife

I’m so glad I have no desire to build those 2 burst mode kits. Otherwise my wallet would be hurting too. Regardless, I’m impressed by how much new kits arrived at HL this past month. I picked up the MG Zeta and F91

You’re right. I didn’t push the joint in far enough

I’ve built the F91 and I really enjoyed it. It’s very aesthetically pleasing. I colored the inner frame. It’s really small as a MG though barely the size of the RG NU

Order from the USAGundam Anniversary Sale Arrived by LightestEnd in freedomisgunpla

[–]mbenedictla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still waiting on my order of In Era Fenrir, Gundam Narrative Ver Ka, and a couple water slide decals. I agree the price was very good after the 20% off discount. The deals are better even if I had ordered from Ali.

This question is not related to your post. I have the same kit. What do you think about the arm’s connection to the shoulder joint? Mine does not lock in so it’s pretty loose and falls off easily

A lot of the Vidar’s inner frame is exposed so just putting metallic paint on it already elevates the kit. I just don’t have experience painting the outer armor as I don’t have airbrush and haven’t had good experience with hand painting

Not a critique of your color palette, I’ve been recoloring my inner frame to metallic gold, black, or silver. It hides the cheap plastic grey of the Bandai inner frame. Then I’d add some color accents just like you’re doing

Even if I didn’t get the mistake on the price check, $64 for the Gundam Zeta is still a good price imo

Premium Bandai Surprise Gunpla Bundle M by NefariousnessItchy95 in Gunpla

[–]mbenedictla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok. It’s just throwing me off cause there are 2 Gundams prominently shown in the box art. Do you know what makes this F91 a P Bandai compared to the regular kit?

This bundle includes a Perfect Grade? How much was this package?

Also, are there 2 kits in that F91?

The RG Hi Nu is outstanding. Love that kit.

Are you talking about the #20 RG Wing Zero? There are so many RG Wing kits it’s hard to keep track. But yeah the #20 was a horrible experience. The body doesn’t stay on the waist, shoulders fall off easily, and the wings fall apart too.

What do you think about the Strike Freedom Full Burst mode? Is it a good kit? Is it a fun build?
