its just a bit taller, just like in reality.

i dont care for minute differences in hieght but...

SF: 18.88m
Legend: 18.86m

not a large difference, and not enough to account for that shown in the models...but meh.

The 1200 grit, however, is like abrasing without the the scratches that usually come along. The 1200 grit is so smooth, you'll wonder if you even sanded said area lol. So, I suggest, to start the sanding process, use a 800 or a 1000 Grit, and the 1200 grit to finish of the surface. You can consult here for more ideas on how many grits are usually around.

There's a 1500 grit! :heh: :uhoh:

On a side note, I'm kinda wondering what Gundam is left to MG'ize. Sure, there are many others, but I wonder which one deserves the treatment more :heh: more like, what's bandai gonna think of next....like bring us a new Perfect Grade or something, last two were some sort of event chromatic things, I want to see something new! I want to see......PG Nt-1 Alex! :heh:

(naw just kidding, I would like at least something with alot of gimmicks or weapons. Not stale and simple like my PG RX-78 :heh: , like, the PG RX-178 GP01 FB EFSF UNT....lol that's alot of acronymies:heh: I mean, there's mix and match power! And, I wonder if anyone manage to do a half GP01 Half FB model. Never seen someone do that to their PG GP01. I've gotta ask my brother to try that out lol)

Thanks dood.
Looks like I'll get the 1000 and 1200 grit.

btw, that Hi-Nu on Dalong's looks uber sexy. Only 3 more days now.

Another question:
I know that using an eraser or sandpaper will remove excess inking when panel lining. However, if I were to use the eraser, will it smudge the ink? Also, for sandpaper, which type is good to remove excess ink. Right now, I only have an 800 and 1200 grit ones.

Ok, how about between the two items I mentioned.
I hear both are very effective, but I just need clarification.

I've heard people using eraser or even wet finger - hopefully not with your saliva - but not the sand paper. Unless you are planning to paint I'd guess you will need ultra fine sand paper to not leave any scratch mark. Even the ones you cannot see easily with naked eyes after put the dull coat you will see them.

or you could use the zippo lighter fuel to wipe out the excess though personally I use this to wipe out using thinned enamel as I don't use the Gundam Marker...

MG SF is also significantly taller than 1/100 Destiny and ∞ Justice.

Anyone seen this scene from MS Gundam original TV series?
Coz I don't recall seeing this one before???

http://pds5.egloos.com/pds/200702/20...0_02023935.jpg

Don't recall ever seeing this one in the original TV series.
Anyone with any idea where this scene might come from? ^__^

LOL! But just looking at the design of the gundam, it really is blocky...compared to the new ones now...man anime has come a long way...just makes me think I am old...

And just so we're still on topic, Dalong has parts 1 and 2 of its Hi-NU review out.

The Auction has ended.....

Final Price :- 1,419,000 Yen (US$11,800)

It was a very intense battle in the final 10 mins.

Unbelievable, looks like Dalong rated the Hi-nu a 99. WOO!
I'm definitely going to get this.

Thanks!
I knew the original scene is from some episode at the island but no details,

The 2 highest bid was made by new auction account holders. So it's another matter whether they'll pay the full amount of their bid.

What I'm more interested now is that if Mesarion would do a "Detail Evolved" version of Hi-Nu and if he does, just how much crazier will an auction for that be after Dalong rated the MG Hi-Nu so highly. (An almost perfect scrore of 99/100)

PS :-
Man, I have access to 2 hot toy releases for this week, it's either MaxFactory's 1/8 Suzumiya Haruhi or the MG Hi-Nu. Hot chick or Hot Mech,Hmmm.....

Meh the noir really doesn't do any thing for me. I have goten quiet bored with the strike/freedom look used so many times. And all the noir looks like is a strike with phase shift off with different wings. And I duno why but it just looks like hg detail to me there just isnt enough to it to make it look like a MG imo.

As for that guys amazing work on his up coming work page it lists MG sazabi Evolve ver, MG hi nu Ver Ka, MG rx-78-2 Ver ka.

And I believe Keita's next project is the MG Sazabi -Details Evolved-, which I'm really looking forward too. But Hi-Nu is on the list too, so we'll probably see it eventually.

But what worries me about the Hi-Nu is the defective parts Dalong pointed out. I'm seriously going to be pissed if I also get those defective parts.. grrr. :frustrated:

I'm looking for some information about the Action Base.

How compatible is it? I see from the descriptions and pics that it includes a few different attachments but does anyone have a good grasp on the overall applicability to existing models? Thanks.

PlasticFrog from the MechaTalk forums was kind enough to translate part of Dalong's review, which talks about the defective part. You can read his post here.

kct	2007-02-20 20:16

Well...is it me or the MG Noir looked...devoid of markings and stuff like that?

philmein

2007-02-20 20:53

Hmm, thanks Dark.
That's still not going to prevent me from buying it.
It's not loose, just not secure. Nothing to gripe about. =)

LoweGear

2007-02-20 21:51

I think it's premature to think that Dalong getting a defective part means we're gonna get it as well ^^;; It could just be luck of the draw. We'll have to wait for more reviews (and mention of that defective part) before we can say anything conclusive.

Thank you very much.

Just wanna ask for opinions. For the guys that panel-line, what sort of markers do you use? I use a fine DVD marker (think they are permanent) to outline and paint vents, then use a cotton bud dipped in Zippo to dab away excess. Any other methods for the "dirty" vent look or panel-lining techniques?

WaytoDawn

2007-02-21 01:11

Damn you Bandai!!:frustrated: I just found out one of the red parts for the beam shield for SF is defective!!!:frustrated: It is kinda twisted outta the hexagon shape.....damn.........:frustrated: :frustrated:

Reading this thread (and looking at Mesarion's mods) makes me want to do gunpla again >_>; I sorta gave up and moved on to Kamen Rider SICs because it's so hard to get the look that I want without painting / effort. Maybe I should be doing gunpla again, but the thing is that they are so dang expensive ;_; I really should get a job.

Whoa, Dalong gets his kits for free?! Lucky bastard! :heh:

Seriously though, I hope Dalong figures something out. If the website is getting that many hits, it's better to cash in and insert ads everywhere. As long as his site doesn't go down.. sadly nothing even comes close to Dalong.

Saying that their QC is slipping from a couple of examples of defects is really exxagerating it though.

Like I said before, I've sent Bandai multiple e-mails on parts replacement over past two weeks.. no response. Maybe my e-mail is blacklisted for some reason, but I'm not getting a good feeling from this.

philmein

2007-02-21 23:57

Receiving a defective part does not mean I'll be totally screwed. Look at Dalong's model. No harm done.

DarkWarrior

2007-02-22 00:24

Uh, you do realize that any part can be defective, right? Dalong was relatively lucky and his defective part was only a small, mostly hidden part that only made his funnel holders a bit loose. However, if a bigger and more visible part like a fin funnel piece was defective, I'm sure you'll be pissed then. Anyways I'm done with this subject.. if you don't care about defective parts, that's fine. But personally I like my model kits like how they're suppose to be.
