Lmao all the gold parts in Smultron's kit makes me wonder how Alvaaron's gunpla kit would look like. o_O

The gold colour is pretty, but the paint is pretty...uneven ahaha. Loads of painting woes for our senior gunpla builders. XDDD

Yeah, I'm almost done with Smultron, and it's giant. D: Exia R2 looks like a CLAMP character next to it. STOUT YEAH.

Unlike the GN-X III, very little stickers were involved in Smultron's assembly. :'D Plus all the stickers are nicely in place too, which makes me very happy.

Too bad for all the very visible nip marks though. >____>

I can't wait to get Complete Best and Embrace. ;____; and MG EXIAAAA.

EDIT:
Ahead Smultron completed \o/!! In...two days lmao. Not much to panel-line for this kit, which made me a little disappointed. Plus I didn't have the right colour to use to cover the nip marks so they're all visible. XD Saaad.

It's standing in the same cupboard compartment as HG 1/144 GN X-III. 8Db ~~Let's see if Regnant can even fit in that cupboard compartment ohoho.~~

Now I want to get XN-Raiser, just for completeness sake. ): Actually I think I'll do that. It's in next month's Hobby Japan, right? Or is it a limited edition thing? x_X I can't remember rargh.

Also, maybe this is a little quirk of mine, but I LOVE collecting the boxes for the gunpla kits I make. :V But since I don't have space, I cut up the box covers and keep them in a clear file lmao. I started with 1/100 Strike Freedom and Destiny, and now I've just added Smultron to the collection. That clear file is almost bursting since I included a TON of other crap that I should probably give to the recycling plant lmao. XD

Haha, Alvaaron's gunpla will probably look like GSD's Akatsuki's, very shiny and golden =D but yeah, finding the right paint... though there's probably specific paint for that.

Exia R2 looks like a CLAMP character next to it
LOL!!!

You need to take photos of your Gunpla collection =3 How many do you have?? and you have 1/100 Strike Freedom? is it MG? *__* (I've wanted the MG one for a while....but expensive...)

Haha, I never know what to do with the boxes, I don't wanna throw them out, so I stack them in my room ^^;;; they're useful when I move the Gunpla I guess (and I keep other stuff like figures in them)

!! I remember Akatsuki XDDDD Wasn't there a special version where it was released in a REALLY shiny gold metallic material? Or am I thinking about the Hyaku Shiki lmao I can't imagine how anyone can try assembling it without risking visible nip marks. ;_;

Haha, it's true! Exia is so short and thin like a stick next to Ahead Smultron. o_o" It's sort of scary, by just assembling Smultron's top you can more or less judge that it's going to be huge. xD

MG Strike Freedom is one of my wants. ;A; I just have the NG version, but I really hope to have the MG one some time. XDDD And I have 7 GSD gunpla, and 10 G00 gunpla, with 2 more G00 ones waiting to be built. XDD You? :O

Yeah, currently I keep some of the boxes and store figurines in them XDDD And then I stuff all the boxes into another cupboard lmao, but now I have just one more space for ONE box. ;_; Which is good since I still have figurines to keep. Dx Most of the space in that cupboard is taken up by magazines so I sort of regret buying them now. xD I've never been much of a magazine person.

Yeah I think there was a gold-plated Akatsuki with the Dragoons, and I saw pics of a finished version on some blog and went *____* .... and I saw it in the store and wanted it badly, but I was already buying like the 1/100 Dynames and a few other Gunpla >___<

Yeah, Smultron is so butch XD looks like it can snap the Exia like a twig XD;;

I think you probably have more gunpla than me XD I have 4 SD ones (I like them, they're so adorable >__< ), 2 HG 1/144 of SEED (though I'm trying to collect all 5 XD), 3 G00 Gundams (also want to collect all 4 HG 1/144), though haven't started on the 1/144 Dynames, I've thought to sell it or something 'cause I've got the 1/100 Dynames already, but shipping = expensive >__< ; I've also got 2 ships from SEED (Archangel ♥♥♥) one of which still needs to be painted; 1 PG Strike that needs assembling, and the PG Skygrasper (also ♥). But I need more space to display them, my shelfs are taking up by figures and origami stuff ^^;; need more shelves....

oh yeah, the nip marks >__< I guess it depends on how the plastic is painted. If it's just plated (ie only the surface) then yeah you probably need a repaint after, but if the whole plastic is golden (unlikely) it'll be okay I guess. But the upside of it is I think it's mostly gold (with some black and red) so you can mass spray-paint it?

I DEMAND PICTUARS

Smultron is so moe lmao. And it has a Swedish name |D

Lol I also keep all the boxes. The boxart is so pretty *_*

AS SOON AS I GET A GOOD CAMERA, I'll take pics of everything. |Db

LMAO YES, I never knew that Smultron stood for 'strawberry' until this one post from another 00-related community. And I just lol'd a little.

Haha, yes!! Which is why I never want to discard them. ;___; If they released a book of boxarts, I'd probably buy it sob.
