I’ve been looking into my first mg,it’s between the Sinanju Stein or The gundam wing…possibly heavy arms as well but I’m having a hard time deciding. I mostly care about looks and articulation when it comes to a kit. Actually the duel gundam looks pretty cool to me. Please help!
My first MG was the Heavy Arms EW. I love that kit. I think the look is great and the articulation does pretty good. Although I can’t compare it to the others as I haven’t built them
I’ve built the Heavyarms EW and the Sinanju (not stein). While I love them both, I find the EW kits are a great combo of looks and articulation. My Sinanju, while it looks kick ass, it’s huge, took a long time and doesn’t have great articulation. Hands and wrists are an issue, and shoulders don’t move too much. Not sure if the Sinanju Stein has…[Read more]
I’d wait a little bit before getting the Sinanju Stein, it’s a great kit but I think the others may be better for your first MG. The other 3 are all very good kits in terms of articulation but, my favourite is the Duel. At the end of the day the best way to choose is to get whichever you think looks the best.
sinanju steins abit complex if ur a beginner because of it being a ver ka and all. id go for a seed kit like blitz or duel theyre pretty neat in builds and alittle more simpler. wing kits i feel like theyre alittle more delicate so if u want something sturdy as ur first build go for a Gat gundam seed kit
definitely echo-ing the seed MG first suggestion, duel is pretty cool. Sinanju stein is a hell of project (as are all MG sinanju variants) and definitely best done when you have a couple MG’s under your belt IMO. Either way you can’t go wrong with the MG Duel or EW Heavyarms.
So I recently started Gunpla after several years of not building anything, and these were my first two kits after so long. My first one was the Jesta Cannon, which it isn’t my…
Finished my Sandrock Mg. First time I can say I’m really finished a kit. Also first time doing some spray painting. Added some colour to the shoulders and other areas that…
Can anyone give me some tips about sharpening gunpla blades? Like the blades on the many exia kits for example, i want to bring them to a nice point and maybe give them an edge as well.
Any help would be appreciated, Please and Thank You.
use sandpaper to sharpen it into the form u want but use a low grit u dont really need something so rough to do it sand the tilted side of the blade but dont do it too quickly u gotta do it slowly so u no how much is gone
Exactly, just like thebanshee said, just some advice to it, lay the sandpaper on a flat surface and go with the “blade” over it. Like one would do with a real knife on a whetstone. Don’t forget making an angle when you reach the bend part towards the point of the blade.
After finishing sanding, you could use some polishing compound/cloth.

I think Bandai is at a point they don’t have any interesting to show to us fans apart from RG Double OO Raiser and. I don’t see any MG that I’m interested (the one I’m interested is on the P Bandai). my Gunpla mood have been down since December when I got my PG Unicorn from Hlj(but a bit dissapointed but get it anyway. BTW @Syd and @Ryan can’t hlj…[Read more]
1/144 Takemikazuchi Type-00A – fully painted, this kit requires a fair amount of masking and detailed brush painting, it’s actually harder than making an MG in my opinion.
It was a tiny spot of gaia fluorescent paint, so a composite picture that stacked a normal photo, and another photo with UV light shined on it to reflect the blue light. 1/144 Takemikazuchi doesn’t have too much room for even a 1.5mm LED.
ya 1/144 is quite difficult with many parts requiring reverse wash and small spots to hand painting, the shoulder, stomach, fists, feet and waist section came entirely white so had to do a lot of reverse wash like sinanju gold trims.
Awesome paint job on your MG Double X
Thanks! Glad you like it.
