We understand your concerns for a Master Grade Gundam Barbatos model, however we believe that our 1/100 Orphans line and HD line for the Barbatos and other models from Orphans is the best possible price point for those wanting a 1/100 scale model of our most recent series. Our 1/100 line offers a wide range of mobile suits that we are able to release to meet consumer demand on a timely basis.

Seed is a popular series in our franchise and it is the main antagonist suit for that series. It will also reuse parts from Freedom 2.0 and the unofficially announced Justice.

We at Sunrise and Bandai Namco Entertainment understand fan concerns of Master Grade Gunpla droughts in the past two years. However we want to push the highest quality product possible for our flagship line of Gunpla. With this in mind, our current strategy is putting our Research and Development Team into engineering new, unique experiences for veteran and beginner builders alike.

Alongside the upcoming Ver Ka. releases, we will have a special surprise for Master Grade scale kits this upcoming summer.

We value your loyalty throughout the years and we strive to provide the best possible experience for our consumers. We thank you for your support. Please look forward to the surprises we have in store for 2017.

No do I look like someone who would theme my wedding after G Gundam of all things. I mean I've been dating the same girl for 8 something years now we might as well be married.
But that is besides the point.

Yeah, I felt age would be more your thing.

The only good thing about the 1/100 and 1/144 line for IBO is that the kits come out extremely fast. Just about every suit is available for release.

Sucky thing is for people who don't like to paint/spray. will have to deal with hg tier stickers.


that being said. I might buy the barbatos rex 1/100.

If they ever announce that it'd be an instant buy.

Would be nice if they included all the parts for all 6 forms. I mean, that'd still be less plastic than the RG 00 Raiser, right?

The RG will come with 75% of all parts for the various forms. The other 25% plus bonus weapons will be in the P-Bandai expansion kit.

This ended up being better than I thought it would be. I'm liking how they've written Char as a fairly despicable person: stealing a guy's name before using him as a scapegoat and letting his own men kill off the one person who knows his secret.

It's the grander nature of the plot however, that's truly kept my interest. I like how with the episodes going on, we finally see just how the unrest between the Zeon and Earth Federation really built up and culminated into a war More than just the Zabi manipulation, a lot of the blame ends up falling on the general incompetence of the Earth Federation in handling issues.

I thought it was really nice to see a little slice of Amuro's life in the last episode too. It sort of gives us a better explanation of how he ended being the person he was at the beginning of the original series, both in terms of his knowledge of the Gundam and his social problems.

Overall, this an unexpected gem in the Universal Century Gundam series that I'll be sad to see end. I really want a full blown Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin adaptation of the One Year War now.
 
Ugh, new Gundam Model is not going great. My wife got me the GP04 Gerbera RE/100. Since it's a simpler model it requires more paint/Gundam Marker than the others I've put together. Trouble is the red and black kinda spilled, way more ink came out than I was expecting from my previous efforts. I've had to try and white ink over it, but, eh, I don't know that I can make it any better. Thankfully my collection is just for myself so I can live with the imperfections if I can't do it any better.

Had to bungle my favorite Gundam ever too =/

Looks good to me. Could always just get some paint thinner and try again/touch up.

Looks pretty good from your photo.

I ran into a similar problem with the master grade turn A I'm building. I was able to sand the paint down back to the base plastic, and it fixed the problem. Maybe give that a try with some highish grit sandpaper or file.

Try a gum eraser, or denatured alcohol, or if that fails use sandpaper.

Hmm I guess if it doesn't look all that bad in photos I'll live with it, thanks for the kind words and suggestions! I'll probably have to take that advice when I start work on my White Ogre later this year.

And finished. My first model for the year. I decided that with an extra touch up I got it to about where I could be satisfied. It's mostly for my own enjoyment anyway, so I'm not too embarrassed if they're not perfect. RE/100 is an okay line though, definitely not as great as MGs since they require a bit more care with detailing/marker (or paint) and I'm not so good at that stuff yet. Really glad my Wife got this one for me for Christmas though, I fell in love with the design as soon as I found out this kit existed.

Next month I think I'll be putting together Anavel Gato's Gelgoog.

I too finished my finished model of the year.



MG V2 Ver.KA

Overall:
Pros: great design, solid transformation kit, tons of extras. one of the cheapest ver.ka kits to build.

Cons: finicky, limited movement, small decals. fragile parts. hands don't hold weapons well. wing of light effects are sold exta.

Great job. I'll be posting my Turn A when its done here. Upper body, one leg and one foot is done. Unfortunately, I only really have time on weekends to put it together.

She's a panel lining nightmare, but worth it for my favorite mech design ever. I hope you guys like the finished product.

I've got the 1/144 version waiting to build, a 1/100 Barbatos, and Captain Harlock's ship. I can't decide which to do next. The Harlock ship is easily the most daunting. It's an older kit and would require lots of paint and panel lining to get done properly.
 
Glad the first kits of the year are turning out well. Going to start my MG Gundam Origin tonight maybe now that I got my panel lining ink and thinner.

Also think Gundam Vidar might be my first attempt at the 1/100 series if it does not do something that turns me off on it in the show lol.
 
I've been working on my hguc rezel. Seems like every night I've been fucking it up. I'm really out of it or something. Nothing too bad yet. But lots of over looked bits that ca used me to pull apart assembled pieces, which is always stressful.

With the release of G Gundam on Blu-ray I was hoping they'd give us Version 2/ Kai of mobile suits from that series but no~ have some more seed.
