And yeah, Custom sure gives it's name away :heh: Hmm, we could use some more options for the 100th MG candidate. I can only wonder.... |

Anyways, an Okawara Zero would be nice to see in MG form, although I imagine it'll be reproportioned by BEE-Craft to actually look better than the HG models. |

You don't need to airbrush. They sell cans of spray paint. They sell bottles of paint and you can hand brush. With enough patience, you could make it look just as good as the pictures you see. The Hi Nu is just one kit that will probably never get a recolor because it is a one of a kind MS, similar to the Sazabi.

Airbrushes are great for even coats and certain effects, such as stencils (for patterns), and 'spatter' effects. The only problem is that it's a bit of an investment. If you've got the time and are willing to learn, airbrushing model kits isn't only fun, you can learn a few things that could help you if you want a job in arts and craftsmanship.
I don't use an airbrush because of the investment costs plus the fact I only rent my flat; but I do use spray paint and spray primer for my kits. I still use brush paint for the details and most of the paint schemes, though. I'll probably not be able to make the really cool stuff you see on Japanese sites, but I think that even with just brush painting, you can create a really good outcome on your gunpla. |

Wow, I'm amazed that they engineered it so that we don't have to assemble the pipes around the head and waist. Those were just tedious and a drag.
|
And we only have to sand one side of the cables, not 2 or 3... WOOHOO!

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...3072007320.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...2007002320.jpg I notice that all the cable pipes in MG Ver 2.0 Zakus are straight, unlike their previous design where there are triangular and trapezoidal cut pipes. Can anybody confirm this? :D |
Anyone own the Zeta 2.0? I'm thinking about buying it later (either the regular or the limited edition version). WHat are the flaws btw?
|
Wow, that's pretty good. I'd love a good 1/144 scale Gouf or Zaku.

Actually, the Zeta 2.0 is good right out of the assembly.
The leanless is maybe influenced by the Ka look. |
I might just buy the regular 2.0 edition. WIll there be any difference between that and the limited edition? Just different colors, correct?
|
yep, the color is the only difference, everything else, exactly the same :D

Nice update of the Zaku II, I've been meaning to dive into that more, considering the old Zaku MG kit's were so.....unarticulatable :heh: :heh:
And, not sure if this has been discussed yet, I'm wondering if anyone saw the update on MG Strike Noir. Which, if no one is interested consider this a post for kct only lol:heh:. Apparently, straight from Bandai themselves they said the MG Strike Noir's "Appearance and specification are totally recreated, based on MG Strike Freedom, with new parts and inner mechanics." Now that is what I'm talking about. Make this like the 4th MG Strike concoction, but this time with new technology. Very nice, with a MG SF frame this will be amazing. Hope it's true, because I can see kct's gonna beg me for one now :heh: :heh: This is why I keep slapping you with one, I have faith in the Strike Noir! :heh: Bandai hobbie site ;) And it seems the Akatsuki has ABS in it's joints to strengthen the limbs for poses. Understandable considering the backpack options :p |
Actually I've heard of that for some time now -_-;;; .

This is really sad, but the right wing of my MG SF has worn because the little binder that rotates the mechanism inside didn't seem to clip on properly like the left one did (dunno if that's my fault or the defect of the kit), so now I'm gonna buy the normal MG SF just for that one little part. That's really sad, but seeing how I like this kit so much, I wouldn't mind spending more just to get more spare parts, lol, in any case, I get new (better) decals from the normal MG SF kit.
Actually, I can always bag myself a Hi-n instead :) |
