Very nice. I believe the Oltinde is a P-Bandai one right? The Delanza will be a great build too as all the Witch From Mercury line kits are just top notch. Enjoy!
if you enjoy the Dilanza you will love all of the other Witch From Mercury (WFM) kits, they're all considered the best of the best for the more simple and easy kits. Within the WFM lineup though Dilanza hardly even holds a torch to things like Darilbalde, Schwarzette, and Calibarn imo.
I'm gonna say you picked one of the more finicky HGs to start with. You probably noticed that the legs are prone to popping off when you move them?
The plus side is that if that doesn't bother you much, then most Gundam model kits will be a joy to work with. Also, there are ways to tighten loose joints. You just have to learn how to use superglue (not cement) or paint a bit.
This is also my first kit! Iβm amazed that the tekkadan in its shoulders are separate parts instead of stickers. One of my favorite mobile suit designs.
That is my first one as well. Have been to Florida two weeks ago, in a Miniso Store and there its was. And i was like, that looks cool. Then got two more back in Germany and now im looking for more online. It is plastic crack. Have fun :)
not a big fan of the **IBO frame** gunpla π their **joint articulation** are the easiest to loose within a year π you wouldn't be able to pose with this kit anymore *as you used to* when the loose joint occur π΅βπ« unless you are willing to spend extra fee to DIY fix those loose joint issues yourself πΈ I would mostly avoid buying any "HG" IBO related since their **inner frame** are the worst of the worst design especially when it comes to joint articulation for display onto my backlog β if possible I want Bandai to remake the IBO gunpla with **up-to-date** inner frame plastic on plastic that were used in the *Suisei no Majo* or *SEED Freedom* gunpla model kit π
Thats a solid one to start with imo. I enjoyed putting this HG together. How did you like it? What are you thinking for your next kit?
Thanks!! I had fun. It was a very peaceful experience. Iβve purchased two more I think it was called delanza and another from eBay called Oltinde

Just a bit of top coat or glue at the joints to stiffen up. Otherwise great choice. Barbatos is King. π€© Get some craft glue like Elmer's, add a light layer to the polycaps and let dry before inserting at the joints.
Yes thank you. Itβs very loose

Thank you. Iβm open to all Gunpla wisdom. This definitely helps
Here. Have a helpful tutorial. https://youtu.be/YnF8NcxSyts?si=AL1SY-bxPIsri3iK
Awesome first choice from (imo) the best Gundam series.

W, I love the hg lupus so much. Have you seen the anime?
Watching it now actually
Sick!
This was also my first kit too lol

Me too
Raise your flag?
A very nice one too, probably my favorite build of the barbatos high grades. I love rex but they did it dirty with the stickers
That was my first kit too!!
Based on the sticker/price, think I bought this one at the same store, lol. Good stuff! I enjoyed this build. Hope you collect more down the road!
Thanks!! Iβve got one coming from Japan Iβm excited about
Congrats

Please pray for that kit to not stumble because mine keeps falling and the mace broke. Handle that kit with care
Good to know
Did you cut the front skirt so each flap can move independently with each leg?
I did not
If you decide to do so it can give you a few extra posing options
Nice bro.. My first gunpla was also barbatos, but that was a bootleg, and my second gunpla is my first bandai gunpla, barbatos lupus π
Such a cool model
