     @ChurnHinge @Twoinchdestroya Is this upgrade parts for a Bandai kit or a complete ground up resin kit?

     I opened the box. wow sooo many pieces and they do not come in the plastic frames like the regular kits.

     @ChurnHinge @Royper @Twoinchdestroya IDK about this specific one but an off-bandai brand resin kit is usually a cut above in difficulty. Not as forgiving and easygoing as an HG or RG, if you’ve done some good, solid MG builds you can swing it just fine. Just know what you’re getting into. I personally wouldn’t tackle one, I’d feel like I’m just wasting it with my skill level. I hate it when I have a rare Pbandai kit, because I know it deserves a craftsman’s hand.

     @Twoinchdestroya @ChurnHinge @Royper My jap fren asked me what dream kits would be cool to have, and me, thinking he was a man and not doing backdoor gift-giving ideas, told him a few of my faves. Before you know it he’s asking for my address because he wanted to send me the Sentinel Deep Striker MG.

     Yeah man, I love that and all but please, the guilt…..

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @ChurnHinge @Royper I need a jap friend who would ship me expensive and rare kits.

     The gold plate Akatsuki Gundam from seed is beautiful, but need to have it’s own special display case for it.

     @Twoinchdestroya @ChurnHinge @Royper He couldn’t figure out how to ship cheaply though, so the only way it benefits me is if I just have him pay out of pocket, and I can’t do that anyways. Dude would pay like 3x what he needed to for a small box

     @ChurnHinge @Royper @Twoinchdestroya If you work back into the swing of things and read up on it a bit you can save some headaches. After attempting a few small projects blind, I’ve been reminded that even the simple stuff can be greatly eased with just a little bit of research beforehand.

     @ChurnHinge @Twoinchdestroya @Royper From that box, the resin kit is this: It’s an off-brand made for the manga about a bunch of test pilots and their experimental machines. Cool little kit. The search will be a bit tough, because bandai later went and made a smaller 1/144 scale version in the official lineup. Unless this one’s that size, too. Kind of hard to tell. guess they did both sizes.

     @ChurnHinge @Royper @Twoinchdestroya IDK how rare that one is, if you got it local then it’s not that big of a deal. Some of the time they’re limited editions, and hard to source. I just really hate it when I half-ass a kit and end up staring at its corpse forever….even worse when it’s a gift or something I can’t just give away to the kids

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @HWABAG @ChurnHinge @Royper It’s the acceptable tolerances in those injection molds and crappy plastics.

     Bandai spoiled me with near perfect tolerances and snap fit kits

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Royper @Twoinchdestroya is a local store I go to and they have some stuff that is rare. but it is not only gundam stuff, they are mostly big on the other figures, I think it was warhammer? and also a lot of table top stuff and family games. Two explained how it works with the colour on the boxes.
     
     the resin kit looked special though so it was a special occasion I got it. I try to just keep to HG kits as I do not feel confidant just yet to mess with the PG and those Verka kits

     @ChurnHinge @Royper @Twoinchdestroya I’d have to see what the runners are like, but you’ll probably have to rely on glue a lot more than a snap-fit HG. Same w/ filler, resin kits often need some sanding & filling since they have bubbles in the runners sometimes. May not be as snappy, either, so maybe some clamps and braces to hold it while the glue sets.

     If you could buy another one super simple then it’s probably worth the growing experience of having to learn all those techniques

     @ChurnHinge @Twoinchdestroya @Royper Two diff. lines, the delta even had a super version w/ INCOMs and a psycho system thingy

     The Zeta has some issues because of its variable transforming frame in the lore, while the Delta was supposed to provide the performance sans the transformation. For some reason Unicorn decided to add a transforming Delta as a pseudo mass production test unit.
