Hey, I've just got my MG Impulse and I have one question...

I got this code to activate/download the movie. But failed to do so because of my nil skills in Japanese. Any body could help on this matter?

Eh, I think it would be a lot more convenient for you to just view Phase Impulse off youtube.

It's just that Youtube's quality is equal to low. I just hoped to see something "sharper". Maybe even of HD format.

MG Shin Musha reviewed by Dalong got 98 points. Can't read JP so anyone know why?

[beamknight87]

its Korean actually... he makes some comments about the golden color injection and something about the joints, but that as much I can read only.

Finished my 1/144 Hazel Custom. I was surprised by how much this little fella weighs once you fully assemble it. Love the Booster Shield item and how much articulated it is, although those legs, crotch and the backpack make it seem a little "fat".
Later I'll post some pics of it

Code is region locked, meaning you need to be in Japan or have a Jp IP address.

Ah. Thanks for the info.

Shin Musha got 98? I thought it'd be yet another breakthrough Model Kit for 100+ on Dalong. But whatever, I am not getting it anyway :]

Waiting impatiently for Infinite Justice...

Well, there's nothing revolutionary in the tech for the Musha. It uses a modified OYW frame with new parts slapped on. One of his complaints was they used the tacky yellow gold color molding instead of using gold chromed parts.

avalanche looks really cool now just to wait astrea type f and avalanche

[Sir Dearka]

I somehow don't like Avalanche. It is too bulky and pulls great Exia down from an agile-looking swordwielder to some typical Gundam design. No real interesting gimmicks etc...

I sure hope they release the Plutone. That'd be just too cool

Yeah, they do look cheap, those gold parts.

I've never noticed before, but Dalong's pictures indicate that the Flag transforms by stuffing its crotch to its head?!

Just finished my master grade force impulse, took me a week to get all the panel lines finished has alot more panels to ink than destiny & strike freedom had (the beam sword is 26cm long).

Btw Sir Dearka that video on youtube is just a preview not the whole video, I think its available on torrent.

I like Avalanche Exia. Although it bulks the suit out, and I'm not a fan of bulky sits, it just works for me. It's why I'll be getting one at some point.

Have to remember this and paint the gold when I finally get Musha and start painting models. I have all the stuff now, just not the space. Need my own place (which won't be til I get a much better paid job).

Thanks subaruhess. I'll search for it. How long was the phase intended to last?

And great Impulse there. I must assemble mine within a couple of days.

MG IMPULSE VIDEO:

I DLed the video and I'm from the US. What you do is go the the bandai hobby.net site and click on download. On the bottom has like a user agreement and you click on the top one(?) to agree. Not sure if you enter the code before or after the survey (i forgot heh). After you answer a quick survey (use google translator or make up stuff) and then it after u answer you will go to a download with you required to enter the code (enter code before or after survey i forgot). After that you click on the big button and it starts to DL! PM me or post if you have questions.

[beamknight87]

Finally, some photos of my Hazel Custom. Came looking better than I thought ^^




And also, some photos of my current work, a MG Strike IWSP I nicknamed "Infinity". Sadly, I ran out of paint in the middle of the making, so that's why he is semi-naked and has no weapons currently. Tomorrow I'll go get some supplies to at least have the mobile suit complete. The bakcpack will be done in something like another 3, 4 days more.


Seems that this boy is losing its head, literally, over still not being complete
