[@bluspeed7]

Man I can't wait to get mine. Payed for in full and waiting for that shipping notice.

Awesome 3rd party kit, so it's comparable to the MGEX SF build quality?

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

better imo

[@christianyambao9337]

Better than MGEX

[@mrvang8077]

Way better...4 real and is the reason why I pulled the trigger on it. Otherwise, i wouldn't even bother. This is exactly what I had been searching for.​@@christianyambao9337

can u do a apocalypse next? i wanna see a comparison between the 2 since both are really good releases this year

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

I plan to pre order one as soon as i can

[@andrewlaboy4907]

I didn't even know about this kit until your comment, I rushed to pre-order as soon as I saw pictures of the kit

@@andrewlaboy4907 my friend MetalmanXBuilds has a review up for the apocalypse, he got a special early look :)

[@animousworks]

Dang mah dude, you built it quick. Are you planning on putting on the waterslides?

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

Yeah I like to do that after the video so I don't risk damaging any during articulation and losing

[@EvaExplores-x2x]

anyone know when and where if that weapon on page 124 will be avaliable? There is a CAD drawing of a weapon mentioned in the manual that is not included.

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

i wanna say thats the big sniper rifle from the ORACLE or the hyper mega bazooka from the HI NU gundam. i dont think they plan on making it just using it as an example for the hands that can be used to hold other weapons from different kits

[@EvaExplores-x2x]

@@DellsGunplaetc. i c thx for explaining, looks like I’m in the hunt for a long range rifle, it’ll look pretty nice with it

Hahaha 🤣, ah that's gonna be sick

[@FourBajeena]

hows is the plastic quality? does it feel like bandai? hows the fittings? are u excited for future releases from this company?

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

Bro..this is better than bandai in every way , and yes im excited to see what this kit does to the market. 0 build issues

[@FourBajeena]

@@DellsGunplaetc. nu based kit hopefully, sky puncher

[@tundak630]

Awesome kit! I just learned about this kit today when I got a flyer in my USAGS order box. I have a question though, is this a Gundam or based on a Gundam? I'm familiar with the more mainstream Gundams like the grand-daddy, Nu, Hi-Nu, Strike, etc, but I'm not sure if this is a Gundam character??

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

let me get you up to speed, this is an orginal design model kit, the third party model kit scene is booming. taking design elements from Gundam and putting a spin on it. giving us 1/100 + scale model kits since bandai has been lacking on them releases. Some of them require more work than bandai kits, but alot of them have come along way like this one. Where the fit and finish is perfect and requires little to no extra work.

[@tundak630]

@@DellsGunplaetc. Thank you for the info! Yes, I agree with you that these 3rd party kits are indeed awesome and offer way more of everything compared to Bandai. I was also looking at the V-Tiger Hi-Nu Gundam which looks pretty amazing! These 3rd party brands offer resin type builds without actually dealing with all the intricacies of a resin kit. That said, I don't know if I'm up to the task of dealing with over a thousand pieces! My hats off to you for having the Time and Patience to put this together.

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

@@tundak630 ive been looking at the V-tiger and it looks like it will require drilling and tightening of some fitting issues,i do plan to try and get ahold of one as i am a huge fan of the Hi Nu gundam

[@dawaif4645]

where did you get it from? im still waiting on my pre order 😭

Is that website good? So expensive

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

@@HCNY yeah order from them from time to time. and its gonna be pricey. high demand low supply id say its worth it

[@coreykwan5180]

is it safe to use pour gundam marker on it and should I do it on the pieces before assembly?

[@coreykwan5180]

Turns out inner skeleton uses abs so after you finish the skeleton you can panel line the yet to be cut armor

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

@@coreykwan5180 I used the pour type on the armor before assembly and was just fine , just didn't use it on the gold painted parts

[@AsimPaints]

Man this is so cool, but I'm really only interested in Gundam kits, and even then just 1/100 Seed kits lol. Really hoping we get more third party bootleg kits on this level that are unique, like the Stargazer that was released a bit ago.

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

hey man to each their own, taste is subjective but i do agree more unique releases would be great. I do have the Stargazer and the LED effect rings in my backlog

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

and no hate , alot of the seed designs are fire. There's alot of designs that haven't made it to 1/100 yet

[@AsimPaints]

@@DellsGunplaetc. This is definitely my taste! I'm just not big on collecting material stuff unless it holds meaning, hence why I only collect Seed stuff cause I'll love my kits 20 years from now. Even though it would be cool af to build this and have it in my collection, can't say it's very meaningful to me beyond me a sexy mech that was fun to build haha.

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

Yeah I totally get that, that's why I have every nu and hi nu Gundam kit. I'm an u.c. stan

what’s the height roughly

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

Head height: 27cm, total height: 34cm, wing width: 50cm

Can you tell me the hight including the base please?

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

16 inches :)

[@Flip5ide]

@@DellsGunplaetc. Thanks! Damn, my shelf is 36.5cm, is there any poses that would drop it to this?

[@DellsGunplaetc.]

@@Flip5ide you could lean the base forward alot or he can stand without the base if you keep the rail guns on the back back and that will lower him to 10.5 inches

[@Flip5ide]

@@DellsGunplaetc. Nice one thank you! So the base is pretty thick!? Does the backpack have to be completely spread out like that or does it have some articulation to move the wing looking things up and down?

@@Flip5ide they can be folded up a good amount , base is real thick but it has storage under it
