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.

I’m in agreement. If nothing else I could make a post once a week. Would prolly be on Sundays if I do it

I think it needs a mod to sticky

It has its place. It leaves a fat edge if you ar trying to use it for partial panels

I 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.

Thanks. I was just trying to breathe some life into this community and it seems to have worked.

Panel lining by itself will make more of a change than any other one thing you can do.

That’s some dang good info.

What are you doing with that zippo fluid

I didn’t know that was happening. I always wondered why they had a limit of ten of the same item. I guess they should make it no more than 2. As far as I’m concerned, scalpers are scum just barely better than lawyers and cops.

Interesting. If I ever get a computer or printer, that might be a useful tool for the repertoire.
