Gundam Models Discussion Thread

[SeedFreedom]

I just got my new 1/100 HG Wing Zero Custom. Im a bit of a novice when it comes to models ( i only have the 1/144 cherudim and heavyarms) so i wanted to know if there is anything i should look out for on this kit. E.G. any parts that dont move too well or any parts that break or are hard to get in, or if it doesn't stand well.

So my Unicorn Gundam Titanium Finish came today and I looked through the contents...and What the **** is up with the absurd amount of stickers!? = . =

It's a Ver Ka kit.
It's normal for it to have tons of them.

I see. Even so, just looking at the amount of stickers needed in the manual is daunting but I'll get over it. The model looks too good to fret over.

Gets my bet for the best HG 00 Kit boxart.

I like the lack of specific names too.No Type etcetcetc.......just 0-Gundam in nice plain letters.Cant wait,seriosly to see the boxart with my own eyes.

I'm trying to search all the HG Gundam 00 Series Boxarts [To make them into a single pic]......but even with Google Image,its hard to find them all.Anybody know a place to that has alot of them?


Got my XN Raiser today.......yay.......now to spend the next few months carefully painting it,to avoid disasters,since its really hard to get.I wish I could understand Japanese so I can read the painting instructions in the magazine.Never bought one of these before,I never knew they were so large.Would be useful if I can understand them.

I think this marks the shortest post you have ever written LOL

Anyways, I remember seeing a real type MG Rx-78-2 w/G Fighter on srwhotnews with the dark grey cand white olor scheme. Does anybody know if that's a limited edition kit or is that going to be a regular release?

[LordStrike]

Reborns and the 0-Gundam.......in the same week.Wow,thats something.

Cant wait for some juicy info from their manuals as well,especially Reborns but waitin for any new info on 0-Gundam as well,especially anything specific about its large show of particles.I mean we all probably know the reason but would be nice if it was specified by the manual while for Reborns its about the Twin Drive Tau.

Too bad I wont have time to build any in the next 2 months,semester starting again.

Some more info on the upcoming PG 00 kit, there will be an 'exclusive' prize released for the initial batch of the kit. sounds like another cunning strategy by Bandai, i think they do this so that people won't wait til the reviews of the gundam to come out before buying it.

my guess it could be a special stand but it could also be 'clear parts' or maybe effect parts for trans-am mode. oh the possibilities...

So there is a functional difference between the 2nd L and the 2nd Revise... and I do like the beam blade mod

How do one re-strengthenes a leg joint?

Sigh............my HG Arios's leg joints are suddenly weak for some reason,it will no longer stay in a position anymore at all,it just lacks the the ability to hold the the leg in a position.I have no tried to make it stand on ground,but I dont think its possible anymore.

Hmm, painting the joint, putting on a thin layer of clear nail polish and letting it dry, or placing in a new polycap.
That's what I've heard so far.

Well, I don't know if it works on model kits, but I learned this trick from Dannychoo's website.

What you do is get Krazy Glue, and put a SMALL dab of it on the loose joint, or the socket where the join goes. Then, you continuously move the joint, so the glue doesn't dry and it never moves again. The more you move it, the more friction will build, you'll feel the joint get stiffer and stiffer (pun intended).

I've used it on my Robot Damashii 00 and it worked like a charm. Just gotta be careful. That's my method, anyway.

I am hoping that the backpack adapter for the MG Blue Frame allows it to attach the other MG C.E. backpacks released so far, not just the VS Astray ones.
