Hey Joe enjoyed your review. Question Ive heard the mg red sinanju hasn't held up well over time does that conversion kit you have on yours make the kit sturdier? I just saw one for sale on eBay and would buy it if I knew it wasnt a hand grenade.
Hey there, thank you for the view and the comment! Any MG sinanju is essentially the same kit the same kit since 2008 with most of the differences just being outer armor. That said I haven't seen any issues with my Takumi built Sinanju, it's held the same pose for close to a year now, the Takumi studio uses the inner frame of the MG sinanju so it really doesn't do anything to improve frame stability. I do think the waist connection is slightly different and that was the biggest issue with older Sinanjus was a snapped waist connector, which has apparently been fixed since 2013 when the OVA version came out. I would have to double check this when I get home later today. If you experience looseness there's little tricks of the trade that can help tighten the joints up so the kit is less floppy. I use Gunprimer joint guard most of the time when I run into situations like this. If I notice a joint could use some extra thickness to tighten it up during my initial build stage. I may also leave that joint unmasked when I do my matte clear coating to finish the kit, This will add some extra thickness and increase joint strength. I typically mask all pegs and connector joints to make sure they don't make a kit too tight when I spray the kit, but sometimes that can be used to your advantage. I've seen other builders use nail polish on a peg just enough to increase joint strength. I have a EG RX-78-2 that I use to test new techniques on to ensure I don't mess up a build I'm currently working on. If you like surface detail I'd highly reccomend the Takumi studio upgrade there is a LOT of added detailing to the armor, and few frame pieces that it does use. For example the rear thrusters are completely different and have their own inner frame piece with more greebling molded into it. If you go the Takumi studio route, I'll recommend not to use Tamiya panel line accent color. The new parts are all ABS and crack very easily with the Tamiya, you could clear coat all the pieces with a gloss clear and then use the liner but I've seen many builders apply tamiya straight to the takumi kit and had cracks quickly. Something about the Takumi plastic especially doesn't like the Tamiya liner.
@@JoesGunplaGarage Ok thanks for the reply. Might have to pull the trigger on that Takumi sinanju it looks absolutely amazing. One more question you don't happen to know anyone that takes commissions on making a custom kit do you?
@@browneye010 I absolutely recommend it for sure, it's one of my favorite MG's on my shelf now. I don't personally know anyone who does commissions but I know they can be a little pricey. What are you looking to have built? I am curious.
@@JoesGunplaGarage I have the mgex unicorn and I would really like to have the banshee to go with it. I wanted someone to paint another mgex and if possible make a custom v fin for it.
I have a full armor TB built, I have the Psycho Zaku in the backlog, I just need to wait for a week to work on it, probably closer to fall time. The conditions for painting isn't ideal right now in my region sadly. I don't like to leave decals on a kit very long without being topcoated and that's a kit I really don't want to screw up.
i really think Sinanju Stein was how Sinanju looks before any custom and also it should not be exist bc of it was dismantled before Unicorn first took place 😅😅 IMO Bandai just resell u the old part while they coulda better control the price by redesign the runners.. sigh
My conspiracy theory behind this kit is they made this quickly as an update for the Sinanju so they could put it out and have another MG to release this year.
@@JoesGunplaGarage it prob sell with Gundam Narritive, tho it won’t sell well but turns out ppl like it Big sus to me r they gonna make dlc for them in p bandai
I just got my hands and that takuminanju, yours make me even more excited to do it justice, though your audio level on this video is quite low, you should make it louder in editing next time ^^

I've been searching for a review with both panel lines, decals and topcoat applied. Thank you for this!
Of course! Thank you for the view and the comment! I don’t typically consider a build completed until there’s decals and topcoat.
@@JoesGunplaGarage that's great to hear! Looking forward to more MG reviews

P.bandai red with gold sleeves seperation hete we come :)
I wouldn’t be surprised if we got it as a standard release. I do like the takumi studio upgrade for the red MG I think it looks really good.
@@JoesGunplaGarage I hope it's a standard release I really do. I just know how bandai has been to us lately. And I agree that sinaju looks fire 🔥
Do you use water decal with top coat?
I used the included bandai waterslide decals. The topcoat used for this build was Mr. Hobby Super matte clear.
@@JoesGunplaGarage i dont expect you to reply so thanks i really appreciate it
@@RubenAdrian-nd4tr of course! I try to reply to all my comments.

Big sus to me r they gonna make dlc for them in p bandai

I'll be sure to do so for the next video. The Takumi kit is fantastic, tons of extra little details on the armor and framing pieces. Enjoy the build!
