D-Smith Vs. Substance build off cancelled. I decided to attempt quite a bit of scratch building on mine which is probably gonna go past the slotted time frame. other things came up for Substance as well. He was offered some commissions that were pretty tough to turn down.
I will continue working on my MK.II and will update you guys when i have something worth showing/ when i find my camera charger LOL
TILL THEN

D-Smith Vs. Substance Models
Well for some time now mechalounge regular Substance and I have been planning to do a Perfect Grade build off. We have had a stuff to finish up and we are finally getting around to it. I started working on the Perfect Grade RX-178 MK.II last night and completed snap fitting the right leg. I knew PG's were gonna be far supperior to Master Grades but to say i was blown away by how intricate and just intersting the build was would be an understatement. It was anything and everything i expected and then some. I have some pictures for you guys but nothing super exciting since no mod work or paint has been done but still some eye candy.
Speaking of mod work. i am still trying to brainstorm something but i originally just wanted to light this sucker up, but i have been stumped in my quest to add LED's to the leg vents. The leg vents actually slide in and out making it impossible if i want to keep that feature of the kit. If i decided i didn't want to keep that feature it would still be difficult due to the construction its self. I should have taken pictures of what it looks like but it doesn't seem practical, but maybe i just need to come back to it later and see if that opens my mind up a little more.
On yet another note i am still trying to decide on my color scheme. I initially was gonna do somewhat of an Amuro/Nu Gundam rip off using his unicorn and Amuro logos with a black/white/yellow scheme. Now i am kinda starting to think i might do something similar to the MK.III but with more varying shades of grey

Well GKGundamKit has not really solved anything but things are all shipped out and they threw in a free T-Shirt. I didn't get them to accept there system made an error but i will take my PG GP01 and free gift and never shop there again. maybe you guys will have better luck but it is not worth it for me. Living in the States has a large amount to due with it though. shipping costs are extremely high so between that and this large hassle its just not in the cards.
Good Luck to anyone else who shops there in the future and stay tune i should have my MG GP01 completed here soon with some photos up following completion.
As always stay classy PLANET EARTH...

gkgundamkit.com BEWARE!!
I have recently ordered a PG GP01 from these people and to put it simple things got sketchy quickly. here is a link to a thread that was started this morning on the mechalounge due to my recent business dealings with these people
The second page has most of my testimonial about them

MG GP01
I have been getting exceedingly frustrated with my 1/60 Nu Gundam so i have started a new project last night. The Master Grade GP01 Ground type.
I am doing this as basically a test project for my Perfect Grade GP01 which is in transit to my house right now. I am super excited for that due to the fact of the challenge it was to find one so thats something to look forward to. I want it to look something like this colors wise
On a slightly different note let me know in a comment on what you guys think. I have a build off coming up with a modeler who goes by the name of Substance. he is really really talented and is in all reality probably going to take me to church but i plan on making it difficult for him in contrasting styles. The build off is going to be between Perfect Grades, i believe he plans to do the RX-78-2 and i was originally planning to do the RX-178 MK.II A.E.U.G. but with the GP01 falling in my lap it has given me another option
I have three PG's to choose from
Wing Zero Custom
MK.II
