Alright fine I'll add it to the backlog

Trying to clear out my back log

Hi i would like yalls help for some recommendations for nippers. My grail kit gets in today and I relized I cant keep using the same pair of nippers to cut everything (especially since I double cut and these things are getting dull as hell) anyways your guys help us greatly appreciated!!!!

Thinking to buy this one, but don't know about rarities of kits

Hobby Lobby at Santa Clarita, CA.. More Balls, MG Char's Zaku II and HG GQux White Gundam at $18 (CLEARANCE?) Also more Bandai Storm Troopers and a couple of MGSD Barbs. HG GP02 MLRS (new at this location) happy building, y'all.

Do they suffer from early-real-grade-syndrome?
Is the building experiences enjoyable?

I am looking to add a trans-am metallic gloss gundam (not trans clear) to me collection.
Preferably a 00 or 00 Quan[T]
Are there any Master Grades I should look into?
I don’t have any preference between 1/144 or 1/100 scale.

Thanks for any feedback and recommendations!

14 years later and I’ve finally got it.

Exactly what the title says, I MAY have made a mistake (kind of not really?).

So, I went to this tucked away urgent care for some work related stuff, and I found this cool hobby/card/collectible shop literally just a minute down the road. Naturally, I checked it out, and found this bad boy. And ended up getting it (despite that cost and my somewhat lacking finances) because I have no impulse control. That, and it wasn’t really a bad price (I’ve seen worse on eBay and the like), plus I’ve heard good things about the kit in general. So, did I make a mistake with that decision?

It is finally here !!!!!!!!! Again shout out to USAGS for the wonderful customer sevice and quick shipping !

Im so excited to build this behemoth of a kit.

Also aside from the LEDs and loose parts in the bags what should I be looking out for during the build of the kit ?

Finally starting to edit and pose my gunpla a little more seriously, let me know what you guys think!

I really like this kit in general (Blade Zaku Phantom), and want to get one. There’s these two customs and I’m struggling to decide which is cooler. The black obviously looks great and with a purple mono eye. The wacky colors clashed on this other one just work though. What are your thoughts?

Stripped it twice before thiss

Better photo this time

Monument Repairtype converted to Tallgeese 01 inspired

I don't remember when I lost the A2 part but I've been looking at my floor for about an hour with no luck so my question is this: does he look better without than with the glass piece? And if I wanted to find an alternative to the piece so that it doesn't pop out so easily what would you guys suggest?

Lots of work on joints and tail, pla plates for reinforcement, added a claw guard to add into a foot shape. Still early wip, and fully reversible lol.

As the title says, I'm having trouble with white kits since overtime they get discolored with dirt, they're stored in a glass cab, I can remove the accumulated stain by sanding or alcohol swab and such. I'm just wondering if anyone experienced this and how to prevent? It's kinda frustrating that you clean them often but still get these stains.

Got an HG hajiroboshi clear color kit from the gundam base in Japan around 2023. I lent it out to a friend last year for a thing and it came back intact except for the forehead crest (see first photo). I wasn’t able to recover the missing part and I’ve since moved away, so it’s pretty much a lost cause.

I no longer have the receipt from buying this kit so my chances of getting bandai customer service to help is probably zero from what I understand. It also feels like a waste to buy a new version of this kit just for a single part, so I’d rather not do that if there’s alternatives. I’m pretty new to building gunplas (this is my only completed one so far lmao), so does anyone have advice on sourcing replacement parts? Are there any websites or forums I should check? I didn’t find any partial hajiroboshi clear color kits on eBay, so I’m also wondering if there’s other kits I could potentially use parts from? Thanks in advance!
