I’ve been feeling the urge to start building after a while of collecting figures. I got this Fix Figuaration Metal Composite RX-78-2 and it’s so fucking cool that I bit the bullet and bought a HG Altron kit and then found a MG 3.0 RX-78-2 at Hobby Lobby for 40% off and couldn’t pass it up. I’ll dip my toes in with the Altron and save the 3.0 for when I have a long weekend to take my time with it. The level of detail on this FF figure is insane, and that’s what I’d like to work towards with model kits.

I want to try weathering for the first time (never painted before btw). Do I need to add a primer beforehand, and if so can I just use the matte spray then matte spray again after the weathering?

If the pricing says that import costs are included, that means tariffs are already factored into the cost.

But if you give it a few days or weeks, that won't matter anymore lol.

depends on what kind of weathering. generally no, because it's impossible to apply primer only on rmtge areas you want to apply weathering to. you can give it a matte top coat before and after to hold the paint a bit better.

If you're just wanting to dry brush some corners/edges and drag weathering powder on it then no, you're fine with just matte

if you want to actually repaint areas then yes you need primer

Really depends on your goal and story to the weathering.

Maybe some of the metal chips happened in previous outings with the suit, so a wash over those chips might make sense.
But maybe some chips happened on the most recent outing, so they've not had time to get dirty like a wash might imply.

close but no
it is the MB style kit made by Daban, especifically the one with the gunbarrel striker

they have released all the strike packs so far, with the exception of the Aile, which is weird as it is the most iconic look. One of the runnners in the kit has various parts that are obviously for that backpack but they have yet to release it

various things along the course of a couple of months:
- the daban kit itself

- the diecast inner frame from iron toys. strictly speaking it is not really necessary, at least for the main body, but no way the strike model can hold up the large backpack with the plastic frame, in fact, the weight is such even with the metal one you need to balance it carefully around the ankles, otherwise, the kit provides you too with various clear supports to hold the backpack from behind

- a sheet of waterslide decals (of the MG RM Strike). The daban model gives you 2 large sheets, one for the model and for the backpack, but these lack the archangel and Mwu's insignias and the X105 markings for example

- finally, a whoe new sculpted head made by minerva hobby as seen here >>11716818, because while the model is a perfect replica of the MB figure, it drops the ball a bit with the head, giving it some weird proportions and making the eyes too small

the daban kit costs around 80 bucks itself in ali

in total, I paid around 150 dollaritos for all the items I used, the diecast frames are particularly expensive

still cheaper than the 350+ bucks you would need to pay for the whole set, as the actual MB Strike needs the gunbarrel striker that was sold as a pbandai exclusive

Zippo fluid is stinky but always works great for me. Just a little bit on a swab is enough.
Sometimes the plastic looks discolored after using zippo fluid but goes back to normal with a quick buff.
