I've only built some resin accessories, but this tutorial helped me at least to get an idea where to start.
Learning how to pin parts was of course super important for resin and has even helped me a ton in regular modeling. Being able to repair a broken joint by pinning is awesome. I can't find the tutorial I used for that, but maybe someone else can dig one up.
Oh man we need to link you duckroll's experience building his RG...
RG means regret. I am amazed you spent 50+ US dollars on him for your first RG.

yeah, special techniques are needed.
check out the links i shared to TheFlow, it will help immensely, took me 30 days to finish my first rg decals. so stressful. you definitely have to cut the decals down on the RG's

Basically the first thing to decide after you finishing building a RG is how many of the stickers you're willing to live without.
If you have time, let's all reminisce about the 1.5 year anniversary of the RG Exia Challenge. Starts from Post 13299. Credits to haly and enron for showing me this.
Read through whatever posts and enjoy the ride.
Also can the MG V2 Gundam Ver Ka really do this?

Or in some cases how many legs you can live without.
Cool thanks. I only had to apply one so far, and it looks like that will be the only that needed to be applied before fully building the gundam (the ankle guard).
I mean there are eye stickers, but I don't think I'm going to use them for them that part.
Honestly that and the red frame are the only ones I kinda want. I heard the RG 78-2 is kinda lacking now, compared to later models, which is the only one I really want.
Of course if they make more rainbow variants I"m in as well.
On the plus side if I fuck up, Gundam Planet has at least sixty more of them, so I'm set.
Given the way the MG transforms, no it can't. The leg sections needs to plug into the upper body before the core fighter can plug in. The plugs that hold the core fighter in place are on the top and bottom sections and there's no way to click it in without those pieces together as far as I can see.
Based on videos it can transform from to other with the same amount time as a large transformerIf you have time, let's all reminisce about the 1.5 year anniversary of the RG Exia Challenge. Starts from Post 13299. Credits to haly and enron for showing me this.

The build is really fun, really well engineered. Stickers still can diaf.

Just put a bunch of verniers on the bottom and call it the RG Exia Zeong Ver. Legs are 100% superfluous in space!
I didn't dislike building the two I've built, but I certainly got the feeling I would rather just be building a MG of the two.

i'm whipped, my arch rival handily beats me repeatedly and my girl leaves with him.
The V2 can transform and can form the top and bottom fighters, it just can't do it like the GIF from what I've seen. The top fighter and bottom fighter need to be transformed and clicked together before the core fighter can go in.
ah gotcha!

Even Kou knew he was supposed to hit on the female lead, unlike Setsuna.
So the rumor from people who would know is that the V2 Variants are going to be P-Bandai exclusive. Dammit. Why do you do this to me Bandai? At least separate them out into an upgrade kit. Given what they've done with P-Bandai in the past, that seems like the likely outcome. Still, if V2-AB only is released as a P-Bandai full kit I will be the saddest person ever.
I hope they are just upgrade kits like the wing effects because no way am I buying a full p-bandai kit. I can already picture the price of 100 dollars.
Given the way they've handled upgrades recently, I expect both options to be available. They'll probably do something like they did with the MG Turn A wings. You can get the wings separately, or get a version packed with the V2 and maybe a special finish on the kit or special decal set. I think the upgrade kit is 100% certain unless they need to remold huge parts of the frame or something to accommodate. Don't see why they would. Maybe that's me being too optimistic.
I'm buying V2 AB however I can get it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be happy. Haha.
That would be for the best considering I just bought the effect wings and v2. I will have to see if the V2 has areas for upgrade parts on it
The V2 AB parts are weird. The shoulder and knee parts are easy clip ons. The front skirt piece is a complete replacement, but an easy one. The thing that is the most difficult is the backpack pieces. They might need major changes to the core fighter for that.
Since they included 2 fighters with the original kit, no reason they couldn't include another in an upgrade kit if needed.
but this is bandai mane. I don't expect logic from them
I can't think of an instance where a full exclusive variant was produced where an upgrade would've sufficed. Every P-Bandai variant has had a dramatic shift in mold or colors as far as I can recall. Anything that's just a weapon set, accessories, armor or effects has been offered as a separate kit.

daisuki-just make you a free account
Posting links to pirate sites is heavily discouraged on Gaf. Might want to edit that out.
Daisuki is the easiest free and legal way to watch IBO in the US.
good looking out

I love the RG Astray. Once I got the waist snapped in well, it held up perfectly for me.
Only warning is watch out with the posable hands. One of the fingers snapped on mine. It's the first RG that I had that happen to. Not sure if the multi-color molding makes them more brittle or I just had bad luck.
The fixed hands are better at holding weapons anyway, but those are sadly molded in a single color and painting the white parts on hands that small can be tricky.

Those first few episodes were a bit hard to get into as an intro. They felt much better after I started rewatching it, though.

G Reco starts a bit slowly, but it gets better as it goes.
Whether you'll like where it goes is up to you. I personally enjoyed the series well enough. Could have certainly used more episodes, though.
