Good Idea.

Still, it's disappointing that Bandai didn't give us the 'burst' mode of the MG Qant's chest-core like the RD. That kinda make any efforts fail unless you made the the burst core yourself. Nevertheless, I'm very interested to see your final product ^^.

@Appel
That looks great. Btw, exactly what part of the Assault Shroud that is loose? And are the joints solid? I want to see it pose with Bazooka Striker XD.

the additional front skirts fall off all the time. but other than that every thing is solit, including the joints^^

That’s good to hear. Ok, I’ll add this to my must-buy list. I know, it's gonna be a LONG list since the other GAT MGs will be coming soon XD. I just hope Justice will join the party soon too.

they just might make a justice. who knows! since they are making the GAT series suits they might as well finish the ZGMF series.

the duel has one more flaw though by the way, some of the decals dont make a lot of sense. some of them are just dark grey on a slighly lighter grey which makes them hard to read. they are a little too sublte. and some of the other decals were just impossible to put on for me, i hate those decals that you have to wrap around a piece XD it always looks terrible when i try it :P

Are you talking about rough-transfer of peel-off decals? If it’s a rough-transfer, then I gotta agree that it’s kinda difficult to put one rt-decals on more than one side well. So far, I only experienced ‘1 rt-decal vs 2 sides’ and (fortunately) I did it well. As for peel-off, I rarely have a hard time putting them on, unless the spot is really small or too narrow for my fingers. I’ve put a po-decal around MG Wing Custom’s thigh and it’s pretty easy and looks good. Where exactly are those ‘impossible’ decals' spot(s) located? I’m curious .

PS: btw, aren't you gonna do a vid-review of Duel for Youtube? If you gonna do it, do it in HD! Lucky for those who have nice camcorder T-T.

im talking about the sticker decals. the dry transfer ones are actually working well on the duel^^
the ones im talking about are on the legs and the arms. for some reason they always look bad when i try those :P

and as for a video about it, i simply dont have the time for it right now. or the talent, im a terrible video editor XD and while my camera does record 720p videos the quality simply doesnt cut it for me because of the terrible lighting conditions in my apartment.

edit: i also just saw that the duel is at the top of the "whats hot" list over at HLJ! im really not surprised about that^^

Appel, you are from the Netherlands are you not?
What topcoat do you use and where do you buy it?

If you are from somewhere else nevermind.

close but no cigar! XD im from germany^^
the top coat i use is "the army painter super matt varnish". i buy at a local games workshop. at 11 bucks for a 400ml can its pretty expensive but its worth it! the finish is amazing and its dry enough to work with within an hour, unlike other brands of top coat that need like a day or more to fully dry :P

[RX93-2]

Games workshop, Welp.
I usually get my stuff from a paintstore in bulk, but top coat has been hard to find somewhere lately so thanks. Never thought about those games workshop places.

Guess the MG Duel front skirt issue is the same as the 1/100 ver which is kinda loose also

If there are only two minor flaws and one of them is unique to Duel, then Buster will probably close to perfect.

[suiton629]

It's not surprising that the Assault Shroud parts are loose. They probably did that so you can take it off easier.

I speculated that the other, whichever they choose, will become a web exclusive. Bandai is being generous

OMG! Is it real? My favorite of the 5 GAT series is next?! Oh yeah, stealthy Gundam ftw!

I too am surprised since I'm quite sure that they'll do Buster first after Duel (they're buddies after all ) and saving the fans' favorite (Aegis) for last.
