Gunpla Engineers: Hey we heard you were designing a new Gundam for an anime movie. Please don’t clutter up the design with too much bullshit, we’ve got to have a kit figured out before the holidays. Thunderbolt Artist: I’ve been drinking Monster and reading Rob Liefield comics for 3 months straight. What if this Gundam had like, a whole Nasa Space Program strapped to its back? He needs at least 4 shields, because the pilot is a jazz drummer. It’ll look like a drumset, Neil Pert’s drumset. This Gundam will play drums for Rush.

The technology is there. The enemy is gravity. Just as gravity is friend to rg releases that you think are the pinnacle of gunpla.

[@zacharyradford5552]

People think Gunpla is supposed to be like an perfect action figure. When I see or hear people complain about Gunpla kits being a pain or hard I KNOW they ain’t “real” model builders.

[@necronsplayer]

@@zacharyradford5552 hi, nine months late, sorry: I personally prefer a minimum effort maximum outcome type of product. Having worked on warhammer models for a little while when I was younger, I do realize that's not always the vibe with model kits. However, Bandai's marketing, since the beginning, seems to suggest that the only thing you need that is not in the box is a pair of nippers, MAYBE a screwdriver if you're in ancient times. so with that in mind, questions: What is the point of boasting full articulation if your model kit can't hold a pose out of box? Why advertise "no glue or paint needed" if the primary method of tightening joints is layering on glue and/or paint? Bandai is the leader in the industry. What they make is very nearly the best, bar some Chinese bootleg shit that somehow outperforms Bandai, gray legality notwithstanding. Yet they are not without sin. They seem to have a "we don't make mistakes" type of attitude, and I find their die-hard fans tend to reinforce their god-complex. When gunpla are easy to assemble, feel sturdy, and still look rad as fuck, that is when they are at their best. Perhaps it isn't fair to expect them all to be the best there could ever be, that would certainly diminish the enjoyment of those who prefer a challenge. But should those aspects not be enumerated in a review of the product, simply because "real" model builders make do? @Rei Amuro If gravity is the enemy, is proper engineering not the weapon wielded against it? Afaik, Ver. Ka kits are supposed to have a more "realistic" appearance than most MGs. Yet time and time again, they prove to be less than practical compared to most. Yes, the technology is evidently there, but it is being underutilized. Apologies for the brick of text, if y'all end up reading it~

[@zangetsu_3854]

This was my first model kit. Only finished it a couple months ago. Mine seems to be solid all over apart from one skirt flap. The decals took ages. This is probably my favourite Mobile Suit.

[@zangetsu_3854]

I wish the shield arms were stiffer. I wanted to pose it like in the anime when it was launching. But it's just stood their like the box art right now.

MG Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt Ver Ka is my extremely close second to MG Nu Ver Ka. When I first got into gunpla I thought the four shields were stupid.

Just time consuming, but it was really cool to build.

[@elnavales]

I'm an experienced GunPla builder, but I screwed up this kit. I broke pieces and the mutli-shield arms array. I broke the elbow joint for the arm that holds the canon, and I ripped a couple of those plastic trash bag sleeves that you put in the legs. Looks good, but a frustrating kit. Definitely NOT for beginners.

[@MythicalPhoebe]

see, when i first got this kit a couple years ago, i had the SAME problem with the shoulder joint. i managed to 100% salvage it on my own. i took a piece of the runner, shaved it to be the same size as the peg, drilled a small hole in the center and reinforced it with a thin piece of brass rod, superglued it all back up, and i had a new peg just like that! i don't mess with it much because i still fear it isn't as strong as i want it to be, but it holds up. but i had the EXACT. problem with the shoulder peg. the directions on how to put it in were a little confusing.

[@anub1s15]

yea for most of the ver.ka kits i'd recommend experience and some tamiya X24 paint (it's pretty much peg grey) to tighten the joints and be able to hold up all it's swag. pretty much a go to for any kit with a unreasonably big gun (looking at you mg sinanju with the rocket launcher attached to the beam rifle, though i got an action base 4/5 the 1/100 one with the pieces to assist him in holding the gun up, even with many many layers of paint he was holding it like it was about to break his wrist, causing the fore arm to have to point up to compensate which just did not look good). and the side to side on those types of stands is horrible yea, the action base 4 and 5's are also kinda dissapointing in that front, only way to center them is hold it in the center and drown the base in some glue to set it in place. it's a shame the action base 1 doesn't support assisted standing up cause if you glue both the pieces to the base plate that stand is solid as a house.
