Akaru88@ani.socialOPto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•Weekly Discussion Thread 7/20/25 - 7/26/252·5 days agoIt’s been a super exciting day. I started a new job, got a metal frame parts kit for mg heavy arms in the mailbox today, and pre-ordered mg wing zero and Epyon both in cross contrast colors.
Akaru88@ani.socialOPto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•Weekly Discussion Thread 7/20/25 - 7/26/253·6 days agoHave you all seen the P-Bandai site since it got made over? You’ll have to re-register your account but there’s lots of new stuff.
I’m in the same camp with you. The kit only looks accurate to the show with the arm parts swapped to the saber. At least on the HG version the gun went over the hand like it is supposed to
Gonna make color it like the p-Bandai version
What do you guys use for topcoat?
A couple of ver Ka kits will break you from that lol.
Good try with the streak. And MG Barbatos is a super fun build. Until the MG Vidar released just recently, it was the only kit that used that frame so if you haven’t built it before then it will be a brand new experience. I think the only decals I used on mine were the factory “iron flower” stickers.
That’s on my list. I’ve already ordered a set of 3rd party gatlings and I’m about to pull the trigger on a eBay IGEL unit.
I guess I’ll get this ball rolling myself. I just got an MG Heavyarms EW that I’m going to paint and customize to be like Heavyarms Kai with the blue paint but with 2 double Gatlings and the IGEL unit.

Akaru88@ani.socialto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•My second paint project - HG Aile Strike2·16 days agoIt has its place. It leaves a fat edge if you ar trying to use it for partial panels
Akaru88@ani.socialto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•My second paint project - HG Aile Strike2·16 days agoI really like 3M green automotive masking tape
The beam sabers aren’t even usable, lol!
Now that I’m looking at the instruction sheet, it appears that my kit was made for the “Workshop Experience”. The entire kit is different. The skirt on my kit isn’t even articulated.
Handles in the backpack but no beam effects
I’m disappointed. My EG RX-78-2 on came with a beam saber and a rifle that isn’t finished on one side.
Akaru88@ani.socialOPto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•My streak is gone but who cares?3·18 days agoThanks. I was just trying to breathe some life into this community and it seems to have worked.
Akaru88@ani.socialOPto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•My streak is gone but who cares?4·19 days agoPanel lining by itself will make more of a change than any other one thing you can do.
That’s some dang good info.
For comparison, the MG Gouf I did recently is an inch taller and weighs 156 grams
