Always remember to pick your building area carefully, because you don't wanna look for a essential piece in a shagged carpet

[@tahraki4918]

Sounds oddly specific. You have my condolences.

[@RandomPerson-cm2wg]

Can confirm, I’ve spent about 2 hours looking for that tiny piece from the RG exia that connects the shoulder straps to the arms.

[@fildelara279]

With the advent of the late UC, the advancements in minovsky technology allowed the late UC mobile suits to be more energy efficient, this means downsizing the suits as well. Also worth noting that at this time, the prices of plastic were increasing too, hence bandai opted for smaller plastic kits

Wow congrats on doing this for your first!

[@Luzhong_editz]

This is my first rg kit

[@billythenarwhal1579]

I bought this as my first model and while researching ahead of building it got talked into making something else first, so I built a HGGTO Char Zaku II and RG wing zero first, tbh this kit isn't too bad cause everything is solid, the small parts can be hard to contend with but I find kits with janky/frail parts harder to build than ones with small parts, like some of my biggest struggles have been the skirting on the HG Messer and the tubing on the Zaku II RG (once again due to the fragile tubing moreso than the tiny parts.)

[@budster248]

For the red markings on the face you could use a red Gundam marker and a toothpick. Take a piece of scrap paper and drain some red on it, then dip the toothpick tip in to provide a fine point for panel lining said color in. I did it for the power symbols on the HG Barbatos and it came out pretty great.

Not really, it's the standard RG price (2000-2500 yen). But compared to the others RGs it's so minuscule it seams more like a scam more that a steal.For the same price you coul buy RG red Frame, Quanta, MK II or Talgeese, or by spending a couple more buck 00 Raiser or Astray Gold

If only we could get a MG crossbone like this

[@dparmar005]

there is the MG Crossbone X1 Ver.ka, it's a very decent kit in terms of build and posing. However, it requires lots of touch-ups, such as the red scars on the head, the yellow parts on the shoulders and core fighter and black sections on the zanbuster parts. It comes with a small sheet of dry transfers for the important markings and a sheet of stickers, that all need re-shaping using a knife before you stick them on to the kit. I hope this helps.

@@judeskater93 An MS that I *absolutely* wish for an RG release is Infinite Justice Gundam.

I guess, it won't

[@judeskater93]

Raihan Miftah ID love to see a RG infinite justice too, in terms of its frame though if the rg justice did well then they'll probably go with the old frame or refine it to work better or build a new frame for it given the tallgeese up to the crossbones. We'll have to wait and see, first things first though, the results of the RG Nu Gundam.

Finally getting back into Gunpla after four years of hiatus (last kit i bought was 1/100 Gusion Rebake) and the Crossbone was my first MG. Somehow, it didn't completely turn me away from MGs, thing was an absolute nightmare of a kit. It definitely hasn't completely sold me on MGs (now all I have is an X with a broken arm for the cannon, Nu with a missing finger, and Banshee which is.....a unicorn MG). I'm glad to see it's a different story with this RG release, though, because I've had pretty piss poor luck with RGs too.
