To be fair, I've never actually got this one (could have pulled the trigger a dozen times before but always found something else i wanted...) maybe they just put this here to finally make me buy it :lol:

My latest build. Master Grade RX-78 NT-1 Alex.

Just finished the Gundam and Beam Sabers and am now about to start on the rest of its armaments and then the armor.

How are the wrists/hands? I heard they break easily.

I haven't fiddled with them too much, but they don't seem to have any real issues. The wrists have three points of articulation and I haven't seen anything to suggest they break easily.

One of my favourite gundam designs of all time! You've done a great job!

Master Grade Virtue announced.

And I am willing to bet there is a Nadleeh underneath all that armor.

I hope so, and the box shows an Exia so we can get an Exia 2.0

Got her all armored up for battle.

You wouldn't happen to have a Kampfher to pit against her wpuld you? Or a Zaku II to do the "hamburger" scene?

Sadly, the closest thing I have to a Zaku is Norris Packards Gouf Custom.

Ah shame, still fantastic work!

Seed is delving into their grunt units for the Master Grade line. GINN will be the first so we know the CGUE, DINN, and GuAIZ will be coming as they'll share the same frame. Hopefully we see the BuCUE and Waltfelds LaGOWE.

There's a RE1/100 Zaku that is meant to be the counterpart to the Alex.

I actually prefer the first series grunts to what they did in Seed Destiny so this is good news.

My MG Wing Zero Ver. Ka just arrived a couple days early. I've gone ahead and started painting some of the transparent pieces with a clear green and will let that dry before I begin. Normally I don't paint but in this case, I never was a fan of having a clear piece over a green sticker that most Wing/Wing Zeros get. I'll probably begin construction tomorrow afternoon.

Keep us updated! I actually got two high grade kits for Christmas in a complete surprise, nothing too fancy mind but I'm happy to get them either way! :lol:

Got the Gundam Mk II (Titans version) and the good old trusty GM

Another Gundam has just arrived. This one's in the sky!

MG Gundam Virtue in color. Nadleeh confirmed.

That's interesting, the 00 MG have usually released during the summer, I get them as a birthday gift. I missed Dynames so I guess this year is a good chance to grab it. Do we still have to use imagur to upload pics? I have a bunch of the new 30MM Sengoku kit that I'd like to share but they're on IG and Google Photos.

Really fun build. I'm looking forward to the Blue version and the weapons pack.

Been a minute since I posted something new.

This is what happens when I go months without a model to build because my vendor is only getting RGs due to the supply chain issues. For the record, I got this bad boy Friday afternoon. Sticker-wise, there's not too many since most of them are for the Virtues armor pieces. Nadleehs body is finished. The Nadleeh hair has to disconnect in order to fit several pieces of the outer armor. The hair has no posability. Best to have a small plastic bag handy to keep the pieces for each set, if you aren't going to double-dip.

Body-wise, it's the same build as Dynames save for the Nadleeg/Virtue parts and weaponry. I haven't encountered any loose parts but one small issue I am seeing is on the back armor of Nadleeh. I think it is more an issue with the white outer armor as it seems to be missing edging to fit arround the inner armor. But it does not affect posability, just a minor oversight on the modeler teams part. You can't really see it unless you are looking for it.
