@Razorwing: That painted Delta Plus looks pretty cool as well. The other 2 look alright, nothing too fancy :p

This custom build of Sinanju Stein looks pretty good for a HG!

^What's wrong with it having a V fin? The actual Delta Plus is based off of Delta Gundam anyways, so it's not weird if you ask me.

And true that. Everything about AGE 2 is the best in Gundam AGE. It's pilot, it's design, it's way of fighting (due to Asemu), even the pilot's name, haha.

^You don't know what Otakon is? o_O It's basically a convention for people that like anime, manga and other things that have to do with the Asian pop culture. And saw that among other videos on Gundam Guy and The Verge. It's pretty epic!

^Yeah, but it's made by fans for fans. Hence the name "Otaku".

Those last 2 builds aren't really my taste but I do like the craftsmanship that's been put into them a lot. Though ? Gundam is a cool Gundam because Bright Noa's son Hathaway pilots it. Though I don't like the shades of colors that they've used.

Oh I see (about the Otaku). I have to disagree with you on the taste of the Gundams yet again. I love those builds. lol

I guess you like bulky Gundam then. I just can't stand the feet and the head that they put on the Hyper Zeta. Also, you seem to be contradicting yourself with the face of that Hyper Zeta and the Zeta Gundam that had the same face. You don't like the origin Zeta Gundam because of the faceplate, it needs more redness and a "black line" (which I still don't know what you meant by that". Though you seem to like this Hyper Zeta and that modded Zeta Gundam with the same head, even though both don't seem to have the things you wanted the original Zeta Gundam to have on it's faceplate. It's not that I'm telling you should like the Zeta Gundam. I just find it odd how you don't seem to say the same thing about these 2.

The ? Gundam looks alright, but I dislike it's shoulders and feet. Also, these colors (the original) would've looked better on it:

Come to think of it, the chest of the original looks way better as well. The feet of the original also look way better. And the head of the original looks a lot better as well.

The Hyper Zeta faceplate doesn't have the chin, and it's more smooth imo. I just hate the Original Zeta chin. First as I said, it's not even red. It's White. Which makes it ugly imo.

And that's the reason why I hate the faceplate of the Hyper Zeta and the modded Zeta with the same faceplate :p At least Zeta Gundam's faceplate looks more Gundam-ish than that smooth faceplate.

I've just bought the 1/100 MG Zeta Gundam. I've also bought Gundam Markers for the panel lining. I want to get into panel lining and I'd love to start doing that with the Zeta Gundam.

Also, you can say whatever you want about it. But this Zeta Gundam will have a special meaning to me now that I'll be building it in this period of my life regarding the 'issue' that I talked about several posts back.

lol, If you like it, by all means man. I'm not gonna stop you. I just don't like the design that's all. But surely, enjoy the build. This should be a easy guide. http://www.gundam-fo...l-lining-marker

This is an interesting take on the Unicorn.

^That AGE-2 looks gorgeous. Specially with those colors. They look way better than the originals. And with those decals etc. Though it shouldn't have the EFSF decals, haha.

And yeah, that Unicorn model looks pretty interesting. Look a possible mass production mobile suit.

And I know, but I just wanted to make clear that it has a special reason now and that it wouldn't be nice to bash it, haha. Had to spend almost the whol afternoon to search for a retailer that had the 2.0 version. Then I just thought "Aaah f*ck it, I'll just ask this retailer that ships straight from Bandai.". Turns out that they where able to take my request and ship only 1 Zeta Gundam ver. 2.0 for me, haha.

That also means that that webstore will now be my first stop for Gunpla since they actually take requests. That means I'm able to get Gunpla that aren't even in stock anymore in other stores. Which is a huge plus for me.

Also, thanks for the guide!

I want to start my Gundam collection, anyone know a reliable online store and which models should I go first? :/

I'd recommend any 1/144 HG (High Grades) for starters. They are less complex than 1/100 MG(Master Grades) and 1/60 PG(Perfect Grades). However, with more complexity, there are more details. For which models.. it really depends which Gundams you like.

I'd recommend these two sites.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      Cool. It definitely needed some work before

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
