makes me wonder on why they haven't made the full-scale Phoenix Gundam yet...?
|
Or the Mark V( or is it IV?). Sentinel machines look awesome.

Its weird, but there are alot of mecha that looks much more badass in SD than real scale. Which is why people shouldn't hate SD.

but unfortunately something looks a bit off in the design, which i don't like it & i hope they will fix that problem later... btw, thanks for the pics |
Hello. I recently picked up this hobby after a vacation to Japan by buying the 1/100 Designer's Color version of 00 Raiser. I ended up not starting on the 00 Raiser but on the other Gundam 00 models as I felt that I did not want to mess the DCVersion up. (OCD, maybe... :x ) All the other models were 1/100 as well and I did take some pictures of the finished products that I will upload whenever I can. I read through a decent amount of this thread but couldn't quite get through the 700+ pages. I did come up with a few questions concerning a few things and hope I don't bother anyone with them. Anyway, here goes.
What is the differences between the 1/100 and 1/144 other than the size? From what I've read it seems the fuss is all over the 1/144... I personally like the 1/100 for reasons yet unexplained. I also feel that I fall under the rather casual portion of model building as I can't commit to the whole painting/airbrushing just yet. I have had people tell me that the models that have been released recently do not really need such touch-ups and I must agree as I feel the models I have built look rather decent without them. This is, of course, dragged through the mud when I see pictures like the Exia a few pages back and the Reborn. A part of me really do want them to look that great but I must wonder if all of you feel different. Another question I'd like to ask before this gets too long is the aspect of panel lining. I have done panel lining on the models I have built and feel they add to the look. One problem I have though are the small crevices on the head parts and various other places on the model. I have the marker tip either start to deteriorate or provide too much ink than necessary and then have it all disappear when I try to erase them or just not have it look the way I want it too. I was wondering if any of you veterans can provide a novice like myself on how to do it efficiently. I know this was a wall of text and I apologize but I feel that this pick-up is far too enjoyable to not put effort into. I thank you ahead of time! :) |
1/100 = no waist joint for one
only have the 1/144, so I can't say much |

in regards to difference of 1/100 and 1/144 HG, there really ain't too much of a difference, ppl prefer the HG because it's smaller (so they can fit more on their shelves) and it's cheaper as well. However the 1/100 (which i personally prefer) has more details and gimmicks compared to HG (i.e. Seravee). So it's really up to you, do you want to fork out more money for a larger kit? In regards to painting, airbrushing is definitely the way to go but can be quite expensive as you have to buy a compressor which costs hundreds of dollars as well as a airbrushing kit. It also depends on the type of gundam you are getting, for example if you buy the top of the line 1/100 MG gundams, you might want to put some more effort into it as it would look superb once its painted. I personally buy spray paints as its cheaper and easier to use. check out my painted MG models of Hi-nu and strike freedom: http://img32.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00286a.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00016hzy.jpg for panel lining, i asked this question a few pages back, theres not so many tips for it. i recommend getting the Gundam Marker GM01 (fine tip). It's especially for gundam models. using either the corner of a plain rubber or buying the Gundam Marker eraser pen GM300 would make ur life a bit easier. Just follow the lines and do it slowly, dont rush it and rub out any inconsistencies the moment they appear. Hope this helps!!! |

Just out of curiousity, how big are the 1/60? |
Speaking of 1/60s. How good is the 1/60 Exia? Saw that at an affordable price at local store. Comments?

Articulation wise, its less than the NG 1/100 Exia and that it can barely hold the GN Sword up... Otherwise, if you just want it for the size and to display it standing there amongst your other kits, it'll look great just standing there looming over the "small fries". XD |

But otherwise using a spray unit is much better than brush, my unit is a Tamiya basic compressor which I was lucky to buy second hand!! Just take your time and practice heaps on older models or scrap plastic. Good luck |

MG Exia Ignition review is up at Dalong [Not sure whether I'm just slow and its been posted before] ,anybody knows what he is saying generally about it?
http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m122i/m122i_p.htm As much as I adore Exia Repair and wish for a HG version,I'm kinda liking the normal MG Exia more for some reason,especially in this link.Must be the platinum blades..... Off Current Topic: Anybody know the "recommended" red [I'm guessing the left top-most refers to the main body red color] paint mix for the HG Arche?I'm trying to spaypaint mine,but I can't understand the color recommendation in the manual.Kinda curios whats the pink one is for too. http://www.dalong.net/review/00/0h43/p/0h43_m0004.JPG"]http://www.dalong.net/review/00/0h43/p/0h43_m0004.JPG |
