   Just a quick overall question: When you buy a special edition model kit that comes with clear pieces, does it come with the opaque pieces as well? I want to buy an MG Hyaku Shiki, and the version with clear pieces is cheaper.

     It does come with the opaque parts, in fact all MG 30th come with original parts, the transparent clear parts are just an add on

   ive seen E.S. and some mechs from Xenosaga universe. and i think they are more atractive than the gundam models. do you think it is a good idea for BANDAI to release the models? :D

   You plan on getting the MG 00Qan[T]? Been looking a few of the recent galleries and seems pretty cool… too bad they didn’t include AGAIN some gimmick to display the GN Bits in midair.

     Nah… I took a long hard look at it and I find that the “swords” it has doesn’t really look like swords.

     It is technically label it as a No Grade (NG) but you can consider it a HG 1/100 (I do).

       its not hard to work with resin stuff. I do this constantly with miniatures from the warhammer and forgeworld stuff. All that is required is to spray down a primer of white or black or whatever you want it to be, then paint with hand or spray on top of that primer. afterwards, if you want a gloss look or you want to put on decals, use a gloss coat, Mr. Hobby should have one, much better than the acrylon in the states >_> then panel lining decals and everything else is the same. if you want I could give you a tutorial. Shoot me an email.

    Your reviews is one of the best on the internet. I’m serious ^^. You know, the Metal Build Freedom gundam is coming and i might give it a shot, or maybe i should wait for the MB Strike freedom. What do you think? I personally like the Freedom better ^^

    great review sir, based on them now, i decided to buy one of the MG reviewed above, but i can’t decide whether an Infinite Justice or an Astray Blue Frame. Both of them has awesome weight-problematic backpack.. :3

            Well, I hope you find some time to relax, especially after you get those done. *shrug* I may not be in the mood to do much photography, let alone actual reviews, but I’ve managed to get down to having six models left to build. A part of me wants to finally start pursuing fluorescent paint and to touch up some models with ‘em.

    Hey Z. Just wondering, I’m starting my own colection of Master grades and I’m wondering, what were your favorite to build. Do you like something easy and quick or do you like something a little harder and more time consuming?

      I like both. Each model has its charm, positives and negatives.
