This is a great master grade of the Nu Gundam, especially the hands. But damn those funnels..they keep falling off.

A coat of paint will fix those falling funnels!

Yeah, but they could have thought of a better and stronger connection for them.

Other then that the kit itself is pretty badass, mate.

I was able to get them stay without any other means, however, they won stay straight - the whole assembly just bends under it's weight. I guess I'll have to use the fix suggested by syd.

When you say 'bend', are you talking about weight issues? For me, he doesn't lean or anything but his funnels curve and wrap around his shoulder. o_O There's a fix suggestion? What did he recommend doing?

Yep, that's what I meant. Here's a how-to: [link]

That's not a bad how-to. I did have a method I want to try out but I'll have to try it out when I have 100% confidence. xD

Nicely done. Sad to say but it looks way better then my Hi-Nu.

Hey now, if you're talking about the MG Hi-Nu then I have that kit as well! That Hi-Nu is still an awesome kit for its age! ^^

That exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not good at detailing models so most of the time I just end up putting them together as is. They don't look flashy but I'm pleased non the less. I do however do custom paint jobs on mass produced mobile suits. I've painted a bunch of those. :3

Hey, just as long you have fun building the kit, that's all that matters right? ^^

It does! I highly recommend picking this kit up!

Wonderful. Simply wonderful.
Small question out of curiosiy: how long did it take to you to build and finish this Gundam kit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To tell you the truth, it's still not finished (yet). 
But to answer your question;
Building the Nu Gundam: 7-8 hours.
Panel lining: 1-2 hours.
Applying 3/4 of the water slide decals: 3 hours.
I'm sure it'll take me at least another 2 hours to finish the rest but I'm pretty sure more professional Gunpla builders can get it done faster. xD I'm a snail when I build my kits.

Have you tried Tamiya's panel line accent? That thing saves a lot of time on panel lining. I do the panel lining while parts on the runner, and it takes 2-8 minutes a runner, depending on complexity of panel lines and number of parts. It took me something around 30 minutes max for Nu. Building it took twice more time though )

I've been meaning to panel line the kits while they're on the runners but I'm so impatient that I build the kit first then panel line it after.

Unfortunately this thing is enamel-based, so you can't order it from Japan. I was able to get mine in a local hobby shop.

Damn that thing looks super useful to have! Sadly Hawaii has like.. almost NO hobby shops so I'm pretty much effed if I need paints and stuff..

It's quite extreme, but win at the same time. xD
