A1 144 hg 00 raiser, for sure..

AEXIA!

AI would use semi-gloss on the armor, with the edges matt-coated. You could even make the shoulder armor glossy... to simulate a new piece of armor!! Any hydraulic actuators should be glossy, and I'd make the black matte.I'd ALSO make the lower portion slightly "flatter" to reproduce dust / grime gathered while walking and fighting.GOOD LUCK !!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_Exia

AThere are various reasons in my opinion.Most fashion models are painfully thin and youngsters aspire to copy.Twiggy in the 60's started it and became a fashion icon.Bullying in school is an important factor in making youngster believe that if they are thin then they won't get bullied.A chance remark said in jest, can often trigger an anxiety that implants itself in the back of some susceptible person's brain,later casing eating problems.

AI have built many mg gundams and i have all the ones listed. It is really down to personal taste. if you like japanese swords and samurais go for the musha. if you like sleek and awesome design go for the exia. The aile strike isn't really a must have kit in my opinion. i would say that the exia is the way to go. If you have that little bit more, go for the ignition modes as it comes with some chrome platted parts and also exia repair parts. The exia repair looks very cool in my opinion. Even if you can only get the normal exia, i would still go for it! don't go for tt hongli, it sounds tempting but the overall result is unsatisfying!Another great kit to have is the MG blue frame or MG red frame. In my opinion you should get the red over the blue as it comes with shiny chrome swords

ABest bet will be to go to a web logwhere others gather to talk about this.

AGo for eva unit 01God I love evangelion, but I hate Shinji's b*tching and whining.

Ajust go to amazon and buy it there...copy and pastehttp://www.amazon.com/Gundam-00-Exia-Scale-Model/dp/B000WOYF7I

ALM HG Eva 01 with the frame, because you also get extra weapons, too.In my opinion, Eva is cooler than Gundam (how many freaking different flavors of Gundam do you need? I've lost count). But not nearly as cool as Macross.

Ayou must go for the mg exia, it is a very very good kit. 1/100 00 gundam is also good but is lacking articulation compared with its 1/144 counterpart by i say go for the mg exia
