Dude! Nice upgrade! I love the part you showed some techniques you used to weather and paint the kit. Also dig the avatar of you and the quick extra info you share by text. Also like the weathering and the chipping. And you rock at the end with those scenarios as well.... But I fear the kit isn't my type in the end somehow... The more I saw it's stickers and the range of motion, I can't seem to find if I want to buy this. Anyway nice review and your new 1.5 version upgrade! Cheers!!
Great review, as Always. I actually like the application of "Inspired by" in this kit. They didn't take the Rebake and build on top of it, that would be "based on". And they didn't just get a kit & slapped some IBO parts on it, that would be "Kitbash". They modified it so you would feel the inspiration without using a single IBO piece, which literally IS what "inspired by" means.
I think I'm going to weather mine like yours but use the leftover Galbaldy shoulder and arm parts to make it look more mismatched and built from spare parts.
This kit to me just screams "You thought you were getting an IBO MS; but it was me, a UC MS!" XD (hope you can reference that in your pose video...... :p) Also love how you showed your detailing process at the start. So a surfacer can be used with a paintbrush just like that (because I often hear that I'm better off using a surfacer with an airbrush, which I currently could not afford)? Do I also have to thin it or it can be applied right away? Finally, did you top coat it?
Yep, 100% going to do that for the pose video lol. You can use the surfacer for both airbrush and handpaint. I only use 20% thinner for it. Yes I did use a matte top coat.
To the people who don't really like the proportions, here's one that was kitbashed with an actual IBO frame. twitter.com/specterying/status/1019278809441406978 Also, really nice weathering. All my weathered kits look like I just dipped it in some gray paint.
Did Bandai give up on the Evolution Project? I can't believe they keep releasing new kits where the rear skirt armor is so large and unable to move to help with pose-ability. Another clean video, I like how you actually showed some footage of you performing the various painting and weathering. I wouldn't worry too much about the amount you applied, I never see a weathered kit where it actually has a few pieces that still look like new. I imagine that certain parts would be changed and others left on depending on how much time and if they actually had the parts to repair the MS. Keep it up man
A Wilson the project is slowly but surely leading to it. They are introducing certain aesthetics with each release for the respective line. Don’t expect EP model in any none HGUC models.
"Its not actually an IBO gundam so its crap and I hate it. Dont know why anyone would waste their money on this. It should be more like Barbatos. Zeon kits are stupid." There, I saved all those butt hurt people the trouble. Can't wait for it to get here.
ShokyReviews lmao.... I'm not disappointed at the design choice of being like a Zeon kit.. Actually I was more looking forward to it... But that limitation on the articulation is a bit sad. Love the howitzer and the shield as well as the color scheme and the head... The shoulder and the back skirts though.... Sad. But I love krowsama's new 1.5 version review though... As well as his avatar giving some snippet messages 👍
Why couldnt it have been an actual IBO redesign Also again i gotta say i wish i could have the same capabilities like you do to just up the quality of my gunpla kits Hope you keep doing great things
Licensing issues with the different series. After awhile theyll start making some build divers with the valkyrie type frame but until then just biding our time
to me it feels less of an IBO homage more like an actual Galbaldy variant in the U.C. universe, if you remove the 'power button' symbols on the shoulders and shield, the hammer pliers, and gave it the typical beam weapons by the way.
When you started to file battle damages I was like "Nooo!" But it came out really great. I'm one of those gunpla builders who keeps a more pristine look when it comes to kits //:)
What do ya'll think of the 1.5 update? I hope ya'll enjoyed the review and let me know what can be improved. Will you be picking this up or not?
I like it. I really enjoy the review. No, this kit is 2200 yen( T H I C C B O I W I T H T H I C C P R I C E)
Quân Thúc I agree. If I was back in the States I wouldn't have bought this.

TheKrowSama yeah..........I live in Vietnam so this kit cost like 2900 yen (or more)
love the first part of the video (paint and stuff). do it to all of your review. more power bro!
Like how you started this review showing a little of what you did to the kit before starting the actual review it's a super nice touch
Wow. Ur Gusion Rebake Full City is amazing.
I wish you start most of the reviews you do like this with the details you put on just rocks keep it up
Lol well this is the first update with the 1.5, so I will continue this format.
Nice weathering and panel lining details. I’m impressed.

love the new format!
Thank you
Awesome build and weathering. You should do more of these videos bro!

Really liked the video. Cool to see what you did before you reviewed it!! 👏👏👌
It came out so good. This kind of kit just begs for weathering. Without the weathering it just looks like a Galbaldy in IBO cosplay.
100% agree
Holy shit your rebake full city is awesome
Great review btw really thinking of getting this kit
I think the weathering looks pretty good

What thinner did you use for the surfacer? Acrylic? Lacquer? Enamel?
How many coats of top coat did you do?
I use 250 Mr color and one coat of matte.
is that a jojo reference?
i really like the head of this ms
the weathering you did gives the kit its justice , well done (did you applied a matte top coat?)
Thanks, and I did.
great job my man now i want this kit
I might use 2.0 Gyan's feet for this kit because it deserves more articulation
Could make a good brute base for customs. Hard to find non-chubby heavy hitters. GPo2 for reference.
Love what u custom after unboxing
I wonder if you can put the extra arms in the gussion full city to its back
To the people who don't really like the proportions, here's one that was kitbashed with an actual IBO frame.

Those weathering skills tho OwO

Good looking out, I wasn't sure because the PG Exia Lighting Model is part of the Project, and 00 is in our A.D. timeline.
Teachers what product to use for weather in and scratch details
Nice review as always
Nice kit, but I'm still hoping for an actual IBO kit to get the Build Divers treatment.
I don't see that happening
"Its not actually an IBO gundam so its crap and I hate it. Dont know why anyone would waste their money on this. It should be more like Barbatos. Zeon kits are stupid."

This could also be Sunrise's way of saying "Nobody can sue me in the way I inserted IBO in this show". Somehow, a middle finger at licensing.
because UC is superior than IBO. :^)
Ambone105 to this i say to each his own there need not be some sort of blanket statement saying one is more superior than the other
I don't even know that was weathered! I'm a big IBO fan and I think I would get this
DAMN, THAT FULL CITY!
can you add the beginning part more from now on?
loved it
Oghum Inf yeah, that's a part of my 1.5 update.
Make a Gabaldy beta hybrid with the weapons. Might pick it up down the line to make a side story Gabaldy beta plus.
to me it feels less of an IBO homage more like an actual Galbaldy variant in the U.C. universe, if you remove the 'power button' symbols on the shoulders and shield, the hammer pliers, and gave it the typical beam weapons by the way.
I like the weapons
nice review
Could you please give us the name of the products you used?
I would really appreciate that
Sure, when I'll get home from work I'll comment them here.
Thank you Krow!
So you'll hand brush primer if you are hand brushing a section?
Yep. Just use a bit of thinner and it will be fine.
Ilovethis chanellllll
Is the head a brand new mold?
Yep, except for one part I believe.
I'm waiting for this in the Philippines :(
stole the head, hand, and all weapon of this kit and kitbash it with gusion full city... did it looks good?
I had this on preorder until Amazon cancelled it. >_
So Amazon will not be carrying this?
Nice video
I wish I could throw a heart at you like on Facebook instead of just a like/share
For a moment I thought it has a frame like the hgibos.
get schwifty it doesn't, but the elbow joint is very similar
Hmm I see but a nice kit nonetheless
When you started to file battle damages I was like "Nooo!" But it came out really great. I'm one of those gunpla builders who keeps a more pristine look when it comes to kits //:)
thanks for the informative review...will get this soon :)
- followed you on instagram :) frozen_lightning at IG :)
The arm joints look horrible
Lol
