I bought the Perfect Grade Strike Freedom earlier since I made an eBay sale. At this point, I only plan on owning this and the Perfect Strike shortly. The rest of the PG line doesn't interest me too much until they redo Zero since it's horribly outdated. I'd like the 00 kits but I'm not too impressed enough to dump all that money. I heard the Raiser kit sucks since the "wings" are so heavy they can't even bare their own weight.

I'm about half done the Freedom. WAY too much preparation for many parts since it requires a lot of sanding. The nub marks on this are horrendous to try and get rid of. I'm dreading doing the wings.

I'm building the P-Bandai Heavyarms Custom currently. It's got a lot of bad nub marks I can't get rid of without ruining the piece.

It has the half clown mask and you're supposed to use a stick for it but the sticker sucks. I'm going to try and paint it since the sticker didn't hold. It's molded in the mask so it was made to paint.

I've painted very minimally with kits. specifically I've done the forehead indentation on the Turn-A. This guy on Youtube gave me the idea since you're supposed to use a decal but it's better with paint. Mine looks better than this, and is way cleaner.

I just ordered this, it's coming out the end of the month.


It's a big fucking kit for $88. I'm glad I didn't buy that white and purple one since this is a proper Snow White version.

My Snow White is at JFK airport. I didn't even see the email that they shipped it over a week ago. It'll probably be the next one I work on and it's going to take at least a month I think. The regular Zero they did took me awhile since the wings had so many parts and this has three times the accessories.

My Snow White finally arrived. They don't give you a box for it, it's just a regular brown shipping box with instructions. I don't know why that is. Although the regular Zero had it's own box but no art on it.

It's filled to the top in runners. I'll probably start it after I finish Tallgeese III.

The last Zero took me quite some time to finish it since the wings are very complicated.

I got this a few months ago and decided to start building it now. This will take at least until the end of the month to finish. It's a stack of what feels like 30 runners. They don't give you a marked box. It's an unmarked brown box that's filled to the brim.

The odd thing is the stickers give you two different choices for the Zero sticker on the chest. Silver and green. But I went with silver. It looks better IMO. The clear plastic is almost blue and if you look at the Katoki artwork or the Metal Build version of this, it looks blue. But they give you just basic green for everything else. Although all the other stickers aren't behind clear blue plastic.

I bought a bunch of Gundam marker sets to touch up figures and such. They work like a charm, for the most part. Especially for Marvel Legends.

Also, while just a cheap retail toy, I did manage to find the Gundam Universe RX-78 at Walmart the other day. I grabbed Char’s Zaku off of Amazon after I got home. I used to have the old American Bandai releases from twenty years ago, but I traded them for Irwin DBZ shit.

By the way, this scene was the coolest thing in this entire movie:

I finished the entire body for Snow White Zero so I need to do the rifles and the 12 fucking Zwerg attachments. It's a neat looking kit and looks better than their regular Zero, but you need to use screws in the main wings and they strip the plastic really easily. I might need to just glue the screw in as if you fuck with the wings even a little bit, it comes undone and it's a complete pain in the ass to reassemble it.

What is the fucking point of that? There’s no way you can fight in that thing.

Only new kit I have in mind is the new Strike Freedom. Otherwise there's nothing new I want. I do want to grab some old stuff though from Gundam Seed and get the Sandrock Armadillo Unit to complete my Wing collection.
