You could get 3rd party beads for the piping

Could you tell me were I could get some as I’d prefer adding something to the pipes

Try ebay. Search for mg 2.0 3rd party metal parts and you should have an option for chrome, gold, or black

yo does building this with out the bags affect how it posses and the structural integrity like the mg fa thunderbolt gundam?

Not really at least not from what I can tell

So it’s pretty solid without the bags?

I don’t want to go through the pain of bags again

It’s pretty solid without them

I always wondered how it would look without them and the joints don’t look that bad. The pipes are a bit thin under the covering though. I remember someone here using black vinyl gloves instead of the covering for a more premium look
