So is it true that you can fit two gundams on the legend stand? I've heard you can fit all 4...but i seriously don't see how that's possible.

A custom made MG ∞ Justice, if anyone hasn't seen it yet:

Uh no. Look closely, a lot of things were changed.. they made the beam cannons a lot smaller, added thrusters to the shoulder armor, added some flaps to the backpack, and various other things I won't bother to mention.

It looks really good too.. thumbs up.

I have a Sazabi. Things you will want to look out for, mainly the funnels. They do not stay in their racks very well. Be careful with the head fin too. Apart from that, no other problems I have encountered yet.

Hmm, this one reminds me of Hotsuma from the PS2 Shinobi. Must be the covering over the eyes.

Re2 Amatu, IMHO, is the best looking 1/100 SEED release....

With Stargazer coming along, I decided to mess with my PG Strike. ^^

Spoiler for PG GAT-X105 Strike Gundam: Sven Cal Bayan Colors:

As soon as I get the PG Skygrasper + Aile Striker kit in the mail, I'll see if I can do a little custom job to create a makeshift pre Noir Striker pack.

Shinji103 · 2006-07-12, 17:04

Mmmmeh, the PG Strike is a good model in terms of detail yes, but there're too many lines on it from all the moveable panels and armor. Makes it look ugly. >.>

Gevurah · 2006-07-12, 23:28

Really? When I first saw the PG release, I thought it made Strike look way better, especially over Okawara's Strike design. Complexity in the MS designs have always been a plus for me, which is why I love the Gundam Sentinel models. I wish they came out with a Xeku Zwei 1/100 release. >.<

kct · 2006-07-13, 00:05

Then Bandai should make a real 1/100 MG Gundam Mk.V then >.> .

Knightmare213 · 2006-07-13, 00:34

Alright, so I declared myself that I'm going to buy a gunpla model and build one to put it one my shelf. And I have!

I bought a 1/144 HG Red Frame and completed it within three days (I had lot of spare time on my hands). It just needs a bit of painting and its done and I can move on. However, there are advices I need to ask.

I had used a simple kitchen scissor to cut out the parts and had a lot of problems about the parts not fitting in because of the edges I neglected.

Also, I have a shaky hand and not much of an artistic guy. I also have stubby fingers and dropped a part of two that was vital to the practical completion of the model. I was wondering how I should ready myself for the next model (most likely the 1/100 HG ZAKU Phantom) and what kind of painting equipments I should buy.

I just didnt like original colors, but painting was bit hard when you only have handbrush. Atleast now it looks like it´s been hammered by weather/mother nature.
Decals are from various models (atleast in 3 places there reads "warning, ejection seat", in Finnish

)

I'm just wondering how you did that effect, the "mother nature." I'm guessing that you used a brown-colored paint for the dirt effect on the legs but others

...it's just making me scratch my head.

Mind if you share your secrets?

word of the day is
Chalk (like the kind you write at chalkboard in school)

Brown dirt effect and white frosty/snowy effect was done with light brown and white chalk. you first draw with chalk where you want this effect and after that you use brush and brush over the chalked areas until effect sort of softens.

Black and oily looking places were done with nice bit of weathering with black color&thinner

dbj · 2006-07-14, 10:22

I disagree, I think it looks incredible. Gevurah's one even more so, Strike Noir's colours suit it incredibly well

Hehe, thanks!

A Black Strike + the ridiculous Grand Slam sword FTW. I was rather surprised at how well the colors came out. I personally didn't like Strike Noir's face place design over the original Strike, so that was a big thing in making my PG Strike into a Strike Noir type color scheme.
