And by that I mean different franchises, not just gunpla. The Ma. K style of covers is classic, rustic and practical, tells you this is a big boy kit';

I just grabbed a corefighter/corebooster kit off ebay, so I'll be giving it a shot soon.
But usually it's hard to get them in the US for the most part without just importing it from like buyee or something. For instance I really want a shit load of Dodai and Magella attack tanks but both are just not a thing to show up in the US.';

'>>22596470
Fits for G Gundam though. I finally understand why I don't like it, it fits better for super robot esque models but not for more military and "realistic" real robot kits, those deserve more of a Tamiya treatment';

I'm mixed on the WfM style but for a few of them I think it really works. I love the Heindree's art, particularly the sense of motion and momentum to the one on the left.
The design really needs to be sold on the gladiator vibe and the way it's animated as moving and I think they nail it here.
>>22600999
WfM boxes have pilots shown on the side for pilot-specific MS. I think they only do that for the HG-show lines, not the HG-timeline.';
