P-Bandai HG White Rider Review | Gundam Battle Operation: Code Fairy

[@spaeron]

this could look really great painted up and all those recesses drilled and filed clean with some scratch inserts made up. it definitely has more stickers than a bloody kindergarten teacher. no comment on that crown, boy oh boy.

[@mj2005gundam]

You just reminded me of a metaphor I could've used... But yeah, I agree with you that it will look great with a bit of time put into it

[@jrganimation309]

Loving your ranking system! A more accurate and helpful to help builders of varying levels ( and time permitted to build/work ) determine what to expect with a kit

[@mj2005gundam]

It's more for how much I'd recommend the kit (Strongly Recommended = I 100% love the kit; Recommended = I love the kit, but there are small blemishes; Suit Yourself = Nothing particularly distinct or too bad; Discretionary = Suit Yourself but with a (few) major issue(s); and Avoid = Bad in all ways), but I'm glad you like the system I've adopted and find it helpful.

@@mj2005gundam right on! Love the work and always look forward to new vids from you

[@shezmu24]

I just want to cannibalize this kit to make a dark fantasy themed kitbash. Also I don't get all the hate for the crown antenna I think it's a really unique look

[@mj2005gundam]

The hate for the crown is more directed at the HG blunting edges, not the crown itself. At least that's what I think is going on

[@MSwich78]

I honestly wanna buy this kit, strictly just for the head because the new seed kit that hasn’t been released yet the white night king aesthetic I think works really well together

[@mj2005gundam]

I guess so long as you sharpen the crown, it'd look massively better than that Asus router

[@androyus]

Another nice review, mate. But if you're willing to hear my advise, here goes: I think your thumbnail could use an improvement to catch the eye of audience. Maybe a better font for the title? Maybe a more interesting & stylish shot of the kit? (you don't always need to include the full body of the kit in the thumbnail frame).

[@mj2005gundam]

Something worth experimenting with.. I'll try it out later on

[@androyus]

@@mj2005gundam Btw, I'm not asking you to copy them but Type V3 & Citrus' thumbnails can be your source of inspiration/basis while doing your own style. They look quite pleasant.

[@REmasteredSEED911]

I replaced like 60% of the stickers with paint and used the only decent ones. It looks quite amazing when you put a lot of effort into it.

[@mj2005gundam]

It felt satisfying even after filling the blanks with Gundam Marker, I can only imagine how you felt

[@REmasteredSEED911]

@@mj2005gundam I also used Gundam Marker on some pieces. Especially on my Black Rider. Worth it.

[@zerostriker6671]

​@@REmasteredSEED911 What colors did you use for the Black Rider?

[@swaggedoutkilla]

among the extra parts included on the runners, do you have everything you need to build the pale rider head without stealing any parts from the white rider head?

[@mj2005gundam]

The White Rider head uses all new parts, so there's no need to steal if you want to build the Pale Rider head, unless you're looking for a visor that is, then you'd have to steal from STRICTLY your Pale Rider units

[@swaggedoutkilla]

@@mj2005gundam hmm. good to know. thanks.

@@mj2005gundam actually the crown look like saurons crown its that sauron in LOTR is black and WR is white.

[@pauljordan0203]

if you want my honest opinion, you could use a gold metallic marker for the main weapon and stuff, cause it would make it cool that way, and panel lining shouldn't be no small feat.

[@mj2005gundam]

I painted the bits with UV paint just so they can glow

[@pauljordan0203]

@@mj2005gundam oh, well I don't have that on me.

[@chocomin7828]

I'm one of those people that LOVES stickers, so this seems amazing to me! Please everyone send me your kits and I will add your stickers for you XD

[@mj2005gundam]

I'll probably do that after immigration

[@duskwolf4232]

what did you use to make you white rider rapier like weopen orange?

[@mj2005gundam]

Just a simple dash of fluorescent orange from a Molotow UV marker

[@ameryuu5369]

the yellow on the wings looks like a pain to apply

[@mj2005gundam]

It is a massive pain

[@9thphony]

I honestly really like the face plate on this kit, I just don’t like the crown that much, would want to try to get one and customize it but sadly it’s p Bandai rip

[@mj2005gundam]

Yeah... RIP. I honestly can't think of a reason to recommend the kit other than if one likes it

[@blastbeatgeometry]

I love the crown, sorry. Does look like a modem tho lol

[@mj2005gundam]

It's ridiculous for the fact that it has blunt ends. It looks way better sharpened

[@blastbeatgeometry]

I can see that. To me it looks more like an *actual* crown, which are not in general "sharp". Anyway hopefully I'll be able to clear my backlog enough one day to justify buying him...

[@zekiertheripper6299]

It look like a cape

[@mj2005gundam]

It is a half cape, but I'm basing commentary on the instructions

[@zekiertheripper6299]

Ok

[@PoiNickels]

I preordered this kit and im getting ready to feel the pain of the stickers

[@mj2005gundam]

Might as well paint in that case
