Nice clean look Optics, Great job on your strikes. I bet your sick n tired of having to build yet another one. lol Is it a straight build or any paint on them? I see that your panel lining which makes the gundam stand out more..

here is a link on a tutorial for decals.

Wet decals - http://www.ghostofzeon.com/diy/water.../decalapp.html

Dry decals - http://forum.zerogunz.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1715

You were saying something about markers, what you are trying to do is hide the nub mark that is left on your piece after you cut it from the runners. Bandai made set markers that you can color in the nub mark so its not so obvious to see them.

Here is a link for the markers - http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZGMS109

Hope this helps. Enjoy
I helps a lot. Based on you link, I think the 00r ones are dry transfer ones (or just thin, clear background stickers ), so I'll try putting some on tomorrow.

Almost there!!... well... building-wise that is.



iPhone + Fluorescent Lighting = Greenish tint in center

I hate taking pictures at night.

Not sure how the Launcher Strike will turn out cuz the shoulder piece isn't reversible like the Sword's shoulder.

Thanks and yeah... slowly getting sick of building ANOTHER Strike. Straight build, no painting. I'm not good painting.

What are some people's fav MGs they've built. I have a list of some that I find cool looking from researching online but curious if Ive overlooked perhaps an older model. So far Ive built Astray Red Frame, Exia Ignition Mode, and I have Shin Musha and Astray Blue Gundam waiting to build. The ones I plan to get are Strike Freedom, 00 Qan [T], Destiny, Crossbone Full Cloth, and F91. I actually havent watch a series since Gundam Wing but just pick models based on how they look and the fun in building them.

I like what you did with the Sword-Strike. It somehow looks way more menacing than the Sword Impulse.

Just wondering: do you specialize in Seed kits, or is it coincidence that the only kits I've seen from you are from GS(D)?

strike freedom and the quanta are a lot of fun to build.
i also had a ton of fun with the ver.ka sinanju and unicorn! wing zero custom and the strike are also nice builds but they dont have pegs on the hands to fix the weapons in place properly... that kinda blows but they are still worth it!

here are the kits i have built right now:


and sinanju ver.ka titanium finish gets an extra shot because its amazing :P

the gold stickers SUCKED but in the end it was so worth it^^

With Shenlong slated for a March release, this scheduel list is confirmed as a phoney. And any other Feburary/March releases would had been make known by now.

I'd say its a coincidence. Well when I first started building, just about all the model kits I got were from a local comic shop. Back then, which was a Wednesday by the way, SEED was out and that was basically all that they were carrying. Only other MG kits I have now, that I haven't shown here, are both Hyper Modes of God and Master Gundam.

Did you use the black part of the sticker too or did you trim it out? I think it was on dalong.net where he cut out the gold part and didn't use the black.

i didnt trim them. i didnt want to screw them up (im not a very handy person :P) and i dont think it looks bad or annoying with the black parts of the stickers^^ but i still dont get why they made the stickers this way... its not like they couldnt make them without the black parts, i mean the stickers for the shield and other parts of the body have complicated forms, too or are extremely thin!
but its an amazing and i can live with it the way it is^^
i can recommend the sinanju ver.ka to everyone, its a heck of a lot of fun to build it, its a sight to behold on your shelf (even the regular non titanium finish version, which is still available in all online shops) and its just an amazing kit all around! =D

Appel how was building the Sinanju? I saw a review of it and there are a lot of stickers. Are they easy to put on or are they the thin ones?

... and here they are... all of Kira Yamato's mobile suits. (Not including stand alone Strike and Strike Rouge in Strike colors.)

I ordered the whole box. It said it was unopened and that there were 6 figures in the box. I was thinking about picking that I-dol instead, but I wanted him in his pilot suit.

I would've preferred him in Shinn's pose: http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...fig/gsdef4.jpg

C'mon,people, the list says GP01 ver 2.0 is to be out in March when we all know that Shenlong takes it's place now. And I don't believe that Bandai is that kind to includes the Fb parts in one single GP01 kit. So obviously fake list is fake.

Sheeze, do I need to repeat myself ?

Oh crap. Guess I got misled.

Anyway, Nos, I am SO getting that. Thank goodness I didn't get the HG version, because that looks epic.
