To be honest, your paintwork on this kit actually wasn’t that bad at all. :) You filled in all of the grooves and panel lines, making the details really pop, and the paintwork on the demon shield was also really good. :) I give your work two thumbs up! ^u^
hey V3 just wanted to say your reviews help me alot. when im not sure on a model i check to see you do a review on it and go from there. hell at list 4 of my models are from watching your review.
Hey I bought this kit a few weeks back and I was wondering how you managed to keep the joints so secure. Mine always seem to fall out of place. Also what paints would you recommend for the detailing of the figure?
I should have watch this review before I built it. Truer words never spoken "Not recommended for beginners" and I made the mistake of making this my very first build. I'll have to buy another one now that I have more experience to make up for the first time. The Sengoku is also my favorite Gunpla so I must atone for my mistakes
Built both mg and hg, the MG one is far superior with articulation solving most of the problems mentioned for hg, though not surprising when the Master Grade Astray frames were always good models.
you finally get it at last, might as well get the build strike. BTW talk about the color,you can tell that the red is supposed to be metallic, and of course they can't put it on mass production kit and only for special coating version (that usually exclusive). and in the show it was painted anyway
Yep. Building the build strike ATM. Yeah I wasn't expecting a special finish but just a darkest plastic or even a slight metallic plastic would've been possible.
You know thinking about the Sengoku's Astray's design. I have a bit of an inspired idea for a custom. My thoughts. Sengoku Astray, damaged effect parts, BBG's effect parts, Street Fighter IV's Oni colorscheme.
Say TYPE V3, might I ask how you did the gold painting for the parts on the gundam, the shield and the swords? It looks so clean and I would like some information to build up my personal skills if you would spare? Also would you recommend using Tamiya Spray paint on the gundam or would that impede the gundams articulation?
I used a gundam marker. Then when the paint dried, I scratched off the excess with a toothpick. Tamiya paint is great! Won't impede articulation but just be careful not to scratch the finish.
***** Alrighty then! :) One more question, say you paint a model with a METALLIC PAINT (which I heard has a rigid surface) and one spot has to option for a sticker. Will the sticker loose it's adhesive on a metallic paint over time?
Hi Type V3, I have a question to ask. How did you secure the Red-Horn on the head of the Sengoku Astray. O just finish this kit, painted every white part to gold, and it looks awesome. But somehow I can't secure the red Horn on it's head. Can you tell me how (with the exception of glue), please.
TYPE V3 do you cover your foil stickers before top spraying flat? Because sometimes the sheen makes it really good. I don't know if I should just flat spray the whole gundam or just non sticker areas.
"Brush up on your painting skills" Badumtish! The reused red was probably from the original astray frame- tis a shame, but while anime inaccurate it doesn't too look bad. I wish we got clear lenses for the green pieces though.
FAILLLL I watch this after I buy an RG Red Frame Astray Gundam thinking it was this one cause I watched the BF Series about half a year ago so I thought I got the Sengoku but I got the wrong kit soo RIP
+TYPE V3 I need help on my master grade the chest is a bitch to do am I doing something wrong? I have the other parts connected right but the red piece for the chest am I missing something here!
+TYPE V3 ahhh crap spoiler for me... my pick for HGBF series is Sengoku Astray and Exia Dark Matter... the review for sengoku astray got me a mixed reaction about purchasing HG sengoku astray... oh well I guess that's some limitation for HG series in sengoku astray. Not to mention I don't have marking pens, I forgot the other accessories to make more cooler. no offense. as for Exia dark matter still one of my HGBF pick
The only thing that strikes me as neat on the seniority astray is the fine surface detail. It is quite nice, but not planning to get this one. Plus Niels Nielsen is a really silly name dontcha think?
+Onizuka Look at the parts list in the instruction booklet. Notice how some parts have an "x" through them. Just means they're not used - they're basically garbage.
was thinking of grabbing this figure but im happy to miss it out now, just seem like there's a few to many "niggles" here and there on it that put me off. It aint no Master Gundam, still i think my fav kit ive got.
***** nothing against the MG scale but i got the epyon and just didnt like it, its a little to big making it not as "pick up and play with" kinda fun for me anyways tis why i just stick with 1/144 scale
Boon Kiat Chua If you live in the eastern coast (US), get stuff from GundamPlanet (fastest shipping). Anywhere else I would go for Amazon. Gundam for beginners, I would say anything you like. The best would be (my opinion) GM sniper II, RX-78-2 Revive, any 00 kits, and age kits.
5:44 coolest pose ever!

Wow the Sengoku Astray was the reason I watched Gundam Build Fighters too
hey V3 just wanted to say your reviews help me alot. when im not sure on a model i check to see you do a review on it and go from there. hell at list 4 of my models are from watching your review.
jeremy tessier My wish list is at 18!! (I don't think I'm getting many of them)
The regular Astray Red Frame is a much better kit. Slightly cheaper, too.
Are you considering getting any more kits outside of Build Fighters?
HG G-Self is looking pretty rad.
the back of this Gundam reminds me of gurren laggan
Same
You have excellent desecration and I know your good at what you do.Rrobbert184 would be proud
Black Ikari may his channel rest in piece
Funny, this was my first Gunpla. Also the articulation of Astray's ankles are RIDICULOUS
Ironically this was my first kit and I broke the shield peg within the first day
I actually painted mine purple, the red looks ok imo but i need to differentiate between the other astrays and i think purple is a nice contrast
"brush up on your painting skills" huehuehuehue I see what you did there
+Raace Owens :)
+TYPE V3 Its A Pun, Is It ?
Raace Owens I
HUH... I kinda more thought he had not considered airbrushing the parts...
Hey I bought this kit a few weeks back and I was wondering how you managed to keep the joints so secure. Mine always seem to fall out of place. Also what paints would you recommend for the detailing of the figure?
That judgement pose at the beginning proves this kits look

I'll have to buy another one now that I have more experience to make up for the first time. The Sengoku is also my favorite Gunpla so I must atone for my mistakes
my very first kit was the rg zeta gundam 😂 XD. bad idea. honestly it turned out ok. but i did break two pieces.
breaking pieces suck XD
Me too.I bought it for my first gundam and then it became the worst gundam i have ever build.I am looking forward to buy the MG Sengoku Astray.!
My First Gundam Was unicorn
Pyro Volcanus to each their own. I personally think it's a piece of shit that came alive. And my first kit was the Lunagazer.
this is my first gundam and i built it today and i LOVE it so much
Type V3 u just earned urself a new subscriber
This was my 2nd kit I broke my v fin when placing it in the 2nd time
Built both mg and hg, the MG one is far superior with articulation solving most of the problems mentioned for hg, though not surprising when the Master Grade Astray frames were always good models.
hopefully it gets released again as a rg :'(
This along with Amazing/Dark Matter Exia!
also an RG version of the Gundam fence renacia
what gold paint do you use?
you finally get it at last, might as well get the build strike.
BTW talk about the color,you can tell that the red is supposed to be metallic, and of course they can't put it on mass production kit and only for special coating version (that usually exclusive). and in the show it was painted anyway

Yeah I wasn't expecting a special finish but just a darkest plastic or even a slight metallic plastic would've been possible.
I love how you compared Gurren Lagann to the Sengoku's Demon Shield side-by-side.
Tehwindwakr Well, that's because Gurren Lagann's the BEST!
***** Hell yeah!
You know thinking about the Sengoku's Astray's design. I have a bit of an inspired idea for a custom.
My thoughts. Sengoku Astray, damaged effect parts, BBG's effect parts, Street Fighter IV's Oni colorscheme.
What paint did you use for the red? I'm thinking of buying this kit.
Wait, you panel lined the safety nubs on the V fin?
Say TYPE V3, might I ask how you did the gold painting for the parts on the gundam, the shield and the swords?

Yes it will. You might be better off gluing them down or topcoating the finished kit.
Fantastic review keep it up!!
Hi Type V3, I have a question to ask. How did you secure the Red-Horn on the head of the Sengoku Astray. O just finish this kit, painted every white part to gold, and it looks awesome. But somehow I can't secure the red Horn on it's head. Can you tell me how (with the exception of glue), please.
there isn't any other way really
Aye I watched build fighters just because of the sengoku astray too
TYPE V3 do you cover your foil stickers before top spraying flat? Because sometimes the sheen makes it really good. I don't know if I should just flat spray the whole gundam or just non sticker areas.
Vandoeun Long I tend to just spray over the stickers. I do remove clear parts though.
Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're asking.
Oh. No there are not.
***** But maybe you'd just prefer the Astray Red Frame Kai.
Hmm. I'm not really sure on that one.
just picked up the MG version, what are your opinions on that one?
I need help I am planing to get one to make a. Custom but the set looks so cool should I buy 2?
Hello, what kind of paints did u use in the swords?
EHR... one maybe silly question: why didn't you remove those 'pieces' dulling the tips of the v-fin ??? o.0
Getting the mg was my best choice in gunpla
My favorite Gundam indeed...
Did you use a gold Gundam marker for the guard or did you spray paint it gold?
TheGeloMelo Marker
does it come with the pieces to make the normal astray?
You have good painting skills. What shade of red did you use to pain sengoku?
I didn't paint it... That's just the color of the plastic.
***** What paints did you use, and what brand?
For the gold and black details, I used a standard Gundam Marker.
"Brush up on your painting skills"
Badumtish! The reused red was probably from the original astray frame- tis a shame, but while anime inaccurate it doesn't too look bad. I wish we got clear lenses for the green pieces though.
Yeah I figured that's where the red comes from. Doesn't look bad, just isn't what I want :/
How you paint that red parts and what type of paint did you used?
Can the katana of the rg astray red frame fit in the sengoku astray?
Actually, compared to me? I see your works AMAZING!!!!!
Plus if you buy his hammer and axe he gets more weapon options.
No offense.. but was this made with i movie?
Still looks good
So apparently the next RG is the original red frame. Considering your affinity towards the grade, would you be willing to pick it up?
Jae Lim Probably.
Me too! :)
Hoping for a P-Bandai tactical arms or even Blue Frame (with the TA).
I don't know why is the lower part of the waist is black after been built but it shows that it is white in the picture beside the box.
Is this kit beginner friendly and rock solid and good plastic please let me know
nope!
i hope they do an RG Version of sengoku astray
5:31 what gundam is that?
Its wing gundam fenice
what is the brand of the gold paint you use for this kit ?
+04raze one more thing, why don't you make a video of your wip ?
+04raze Don't care about showing off a half built kit.
can the shield in the back fit in other astray's back?
You complain about the shade of red being off, but just remember that it could always be worse: It could be HGUC Rozen Zulu. :P
Yup! Things can always be worse!
FAILLLL I watch this after I buy an RG Red Frame Astray Gundam thinking it was this one cause I watched the BF Series about half a year ago so I thought I got the Sengoku but I got the wrong kit soo RIP
But still better than HG Sengoku Astray tho...
@@rafikakbar8363 yep
What was the blue gundam you put in the beginning of the video when comparing? He looks pretty cool :)
Real Grade Gundam Exia
I"m have to. MY gundam is
Sengoku astray frame to.
It is the my best to us forever.
This Sengoku Astray is well build, I like it
+Gabriel Chang It's not well built at all. Looks like crap.
@@TYPEV3 reviewers don't talk like that, no professionalism.
Which is better? The mastergrade sengoku astray or this one
+TYPE V3 umm do the katanas come with their sheaths?
Nope. This version of the astray doesn't use scabbards.
+TYPE V3 I need help on my master grade the chest is a bitch to do am I doing something wrong? I have the other parts connected right but the red piece for the chest am I missing something here!
Dude I think your painting skills are fine, at least better than mine lol
+Eduardo Briones Nah, We're about even!
tho you have the golden striker gundam cause i have one
Did Nilsson got his gunpla from the astray red frame?
Yep, in the anime he basically made a custom astray red frame
For some reason the elbows on mine are extremely loose. Any ideas?
You should build the star build strike gundam. ^^
Maybe I should.
Definitely not at that level yet!
TheHentist There is arguably more to paint on the Sengoku Astray after stickers.
Can you make the old red frame from this?
still waiting for the shop owner to ship this kit ive ordered yesterday
Yay More Gunpla!
Yes, I've noticed quite a bit of the audience likes Gunpla. Makes me sad that I can't put out more content for it :/
Does anyone have the problem with the v fin. Mine just keeps falling off.
Yelp had to just super glue it
+TYPE V3 ahhh crap spoiler for me... my pick for HGBF series is Sengoku Astray and Exia Dark Matter... the review for sengoku astray got me a mixed reaction about purchasing HG sengoku astray... oh well I guess that's some limitation for HG series in sengoku astray. Not to mention I don't have marking pens, I forgot the other accessories to make more cooler. no offense. as for Exia dark matter still one of my HGBF pick
what would be the alternative for stickers?
Paint.
2 years late, but green rhinestones are a far better option than the green foil stickers.
wow do you respray it
How come this is harder than the HGSA Astray Red Flight Pack?
Just for those who don’t know the demon shield has a name Oni no tate
i love di gundam did you costom dis gundam
Do you think i could just spray paint it ?
The only thing that strikes me as neat on the seniority astray is the fine surface detail. It is quite nice, but not planning to get this one. Plus Niels Nielsen is a really silly name dontcha think?
Weekend Wifiguy it's a kids show, 10 year olds
Aron Ashurov haha yeah, I'm just so picky
Excuse me, but also I have this Gundam do not understand what are the pieces that are left over in the box.
+Onizuka Look at the parts list in the instruction booklet. Notice how some parts have an "x" through them. Just means they're not used - they're basically garbage.
+TYPE V3 you didn't notice the X but I didn't understand. Thank you very much.
TYPE V3 actually, no. Some parts can be used to build the original.
wow this was my first gunpla
Damn you! you're making i want to buy this figure! AND i'm not big fan of gundam!!! lol
Don't but this one, get the MG instead.
lol, bought!
That my favorite gundam
v3 whydo you only review hg gundams?
Because Build Fighters is the only Gundam series I like.
@@TYPEV3 same XD.
was thinking of grabbing this figure but im happy to miss it out now, just seem like there's a few to many "niggles" here and there on it that put me off. It aint no Master Gundam, still i think my fav kit ive got.
I think you should just splurge for the MG Sengoku Astray! :D
***** nothing against the MG scale but i got the epyon and just didnt like it, its a little to big making it not as "pick up and play with" kinda fun for me anyways tis why i just stick with 1/144 scale
Oh I completely agree. That's why I like RG kits best. MG body in 1/144 scale!
***** yea i wouldnt mind giving one of them a go just need to wait for them to do a mobile suit i like :)
Oh right. That's the RG line's biggest issue, character selection :/
are u from singapore
+Boon Kiat Chua no
i love dis sengoku astray
how to marker this gundam?
Yaqira Hotboyz With patience.
wow most of the kits that you say are experts and I started one month ago and I built them in 30 minutes each lol
+Joseph Spickard Building them is easy. Painting them correctly and actually making them look nice is the expert part.
On OK lol
I started building gunpla since September I receive my Barbatos on december
+TYPE V3 hi again type v3 ! i just wanna ask whether we could use the nail polish thinner? hope you help thx!
+Stephen Tay
Pretty sure that would damage the gundam
what inhate about it is that the frame keeps falling off
Very good
'Brush' up on your painting skills hehe
I got this one and I broke the mouth piece where the sticker goes
I got this as my first. some pieces snapped so I had to glue it. including the shield
I saw the show strictly because of Gundam X Maoh...because dude, Gundam X.

Sangoku astray will look good if the red frame was painted metallic red
Hmm.. Is it pronounced as Sen-goku or Seng-oku
Sen-goku
can u refer me some gundams for beginers
+Jurich Reuben Celeste give me the heapest
+Boon Kiat Chua if you are still looking try looking at Amazon at least in the USA I can find some hg kits for around 10 to 20 dollars.

I'm only interested on the legs and I were disappointed
am i the only one who thinks the sengoku has a gold mustache?
Lol me to.
Good pun! Brush up on ur painting skills
nice !
