My first ever ZAKU. Wish me luck!đ„ł
I was thinking of posting about how i just started my backlog when i bought 6 bootleg kits lol. I guess it will just get removed
whatâs your experience with boot leg kits? iâve always been interested but end up just saying like âehhh might as well just add the extra bucks to get guaranteed qualityâ
Theyre all priced at about between a quarter to half of their bandai counterpart. Some are excellent that i feel like Bandai may attack them lol. Some make me regret buying it. I just have to find review about it from youtube plus the comments for testimony to learn whether i should buy it or not. Overall, the better kits have good fitting. Just that some joints are a bit too tight or a bit loose.
The good ones without any issue at all that ive build include 1. Daban MG Unicorn, 2. JMS Schwarzette ( include an action base and waterslide too.) which i really recommend. If i got some spare money and time, i may wanna buy a 2nd or 3rd one just for the sword lol. 3. Gaogao aerial rebuild (with WfM base included) though the joints are bit tight
the thing is, where i live, is that i always have to factor in shipping/custom fees when ordering which hacks up the price by a lot. So iâve always dismissed the 3rd party kits out of fear, though I might look into it
That's really an issue. It's not gonna be worth it if the price is high.
Lol that kit is old enough to drink. Cheers to you for first zaku
OMG WHAT IF I MAKE A LITTLE BEER MUG AND POST A PIC OF HIM DRINKING IT-
But seriously, thanks for the idea!
Do. It.
You would then be able to come back to r/gunpla and post that for all the upvotes.
I made a custom of this kit itâs a good one
Custom, in what way?
Fully painted kitbash of the Zaku I and Hizack with some other builder parts. I keep meaning to take pictures of it, but I havenât gotten around to it yet.
Seems cool, I'm sure we'd all love to see it.
Enjoy
IDK why this wouldn't be allowed in r/gunpla
They have to build it first then they can post it there. Makes sense, it's for models not boxes.
I think it's a fair enough rule when you look at it like this: in box it's just the same pile of parts everyone else would have if they bought it, once it's built no matter how many steps you copy from someone else every build will always be unique, even copying poses can still bring a uniqueness to a post.
They don't let you post boxes because
Stinky
This! They deleted my post of boxes too.
"We all got massive backlogs, no pictures of boxes only our fuckin secret santa shit cause self promotion always gets an exeption"
Such an asshole mod team (in my opinion)
Are they even doing secret Santa anymore?
They did last year if I'm not mistaken.
They did it last year
Oh huh, I didnât see any posts about it
Nah, Iâm glad they took away box posts. It was a really smart move. It was just a lot of pictures of boxes and it was 110% drowning out a ton of awesome work and funny posts.
Dont know, i wasnt part of the gunpla reddit at that time! In can Imagine it, but the boxes from gunpla are fitting in the topic of gunpla.
The other forums that dont prohibit it, its not too bad. Also on other forums here on reddit about scale models there are Pictures of the backligs from time to time. Its def not overwhelmingly much there
Itâs one of those those things, a Gunpla takes a while to build. Buying one takes seconds. There are lots of large back logs and some people were just abusing the âlook at theseâ or âanyone else have a large back log.â Showing off boxes versus having discussions about the Gunpla never happened. Someone made a good point in the sub which forced the mods hand then. âJust build it first, pose or in front of the box, and thatâs how you should show us the box. No one wants to only look at the box.â
Yeah i posted a question about extra parts on runners and they deleted my post and gave me a link that did not answer my question
I'm not a mod, but I know why they did it.
All questions have to be ask in the "Help me" post. And they pinned that post.
This clears up the sub if you just take a look at how many simple questions people would ask. The sub would flooded with simple one sentence post if they allowed questions post.
It makes sense with the amount of post the sub is getting. It's not like they didn't told you on the side bar.
Many sub have similar rules, they are not the only one doing this.
True take, stinky mods I'd say.
Lets go!!! I am building a Zaku 3 currently, and the seamlines are A LOT! But i enjoy getting rid of em, cant wait for the seamlines to be done and snapfit it before proceeding to customization and painting
YESSIR
I got my first Zaku yesterday!
Welcome to the club, my friend.
I know a good time when I see it
Hell yeah zaku1 best ms ever
HELL TO THE FUCCEN YEAH MY GUY.
Ahem... SIDE CHESTO
I this a reference, I don't get it.đ
Next up, get the High Grade The Origin Zaku I.
I hope that it's on Amazon.
Be careful if you have any 30 Minute Sisters or any other anime figures! Zaku 1âs have a tendency to not keep their hands to themselves!
He's a gentleman, he would never do such a thing.đ
YER NOT ALLOWED YOUR ZAKU 1 YEW BASTIARDIO
What?

yeah they donât really like you posting boxes because ppl would just spam âhey look what I boughtâ all the time and itâll be difficult to see actual builds in the feed. they only allow it for special occasions like secret Santa or gift exchange or something.
