HGUC Nu Double Fin Funnel Mod :-

[duotiga]

wahhh...so is possible to do MSV mode for Nu?

[MakubeX2]

Here's how you do it. At the price of a MG of course.

This edition of Nu still have not fix the problem with the lower legs being too short though, which is something I still need to nitpick about since it's MG incarnation.

Goes to show that the Gundams get shorter and shorter after each series... Exia's shorter than Nu! And they're both HG scale models!

That's just showing the relative size of the actual suit. Nu was about 22 meters tall, while an average suit was only about 18 meters.

I like the new head assembly

the closest hobbby store ( might be the biggest in the city) does not have tamiya matte coat and they ran out of red paint, and so am I ....

The double funnel systems is a MSV. Also, once the funnels of the Nu are launched they don't return, contrary to the perfected fin funnel system of the Hi Nu. Still, seems like a miniature MG to me jojo.


On other matter, what happens when you use spray cans without priming the pieces first? Does the paint simply doesn't stick? I used no prime (since I can't seem to find a primer or a substitute for it in Mexico) on my MG Wing Ver. Ka and didn't found any probs besides having to apply 2 coats of paint...

Hopefully it'll have the mask as well from 00F.

Preview of things to come(?) :-

[Astrana]

hobby mag in Japan often have couple page of mod HGs... the throne eins turbulenz looks amazing, same with exia avalanche, hynames tropedo, kyrios gust... since avalanche is coming out, hope all the others do too. as for the x, i think it's just a mod, but would like to see X MG comes out (probaby will come out eventually)

[Terra]

I'd love a 1/100 Kyrios Gust, but with how much larger that makes it, I see it only really happening 1/144 unfortunately. But I can hope they'd do the same as they have with Avalanche and do it 1/100. Either way, it'd be one of the rare times I'd be prepared to get a 1/144 if that was all that was available.

[Mister Mister]

somehow, I doubt that there's any possibility of an eins mod within gundam 00's future.

avalanche is from the side story, it is possible they come out, like stargazer astray series for Seed

Just having more funnels doesn't mean anything. It just means that they just attached more funnels from the spares store. Doesn't mean that the funnels are better in performance.

ive come to find, at least from my experiences, the matte coat doesnt need to be specific for models.

i actually use a krylon one from a craft store, and it works very well. its really cheap and you get alot more than a hobby spraycan.

mmm interesting since Krylon (or similar) matte topcoat is very common. Guess I will give it a try in 2 more months once I start to build up my *gasp* already accumulated 12 gunplas which may even increase to 14 if I decide to get the 1/100 Exia and Dynames later this month
