on HG Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex · c/gunpla · 1 pts · 27d

@loji @gunpla One of my first kits was the Barbatos Lupus, so I can recommend it pretty easily. The Lupus Rex has some color accuracy issues to work through, and I personally don't like the proportions of the base HG Barbatos.

The only joint that tends to be a bit loose in my experience is the one connecting the torso to the waist, and that is pretty easy to tighten up with super glue or purpose-made tools. There's also a spot in the middle of the torso that holds better with a bit of glue.

@wizardbeard All I did was panel line with homemade acrylic panel line washes (it is not recommended to use oil or laquer washes on ABS, of which this kit has a lot). Of the ~50 kits I have built, I've only put a matte top coat on 7 of them.

My first MG kit was a Z'Gok, and I probably put together almost 20 HG's and 30MM's before it because of your same mindset. My recommendation is to just start simple. You can usually make edits later, but if you never open the box you'll never build the kit

@TallonMetroid And this one came with extras: an articulated removable backpack/aircraft, *two* rifles, several attachment adapters, and a *unique* beam effect. It's the first EG I've put together that came with a beam effect, besides the full loadout Grandaddy Gundam.
