MG Strike Noir and 1/100 Akatsuki preview:

I have to admit: the Strike Noir is looking fione as hell. Also, considering the price, I may just get it if the reviews are good (Dalong lol). Although in the OVA, it pretty much gets owned easily, the model itself is quite nice.

my GM Duel
 

not sure if this is the right place to post, but this is my newest piece....GM Duel with golden frame (like strike freedom) and some light bulbs...

hopefully the image appears.....:cool:

enjoy!:)

@trowa babeliii: its not GM Duel. Its GM Quel...i dunno why youre calling it a GM Duel, its not even a typo on your part >_>
As for the peice itself...why the gold? aside from the fact the paint is done unevenly and not very well...wry?


@philmein:
owned easily? Noir?

i wouldnt say that at all.

Sven was controlling that battle rather nicely, even when Shams blew up. It was Stargazer's beam majick tricks that WTFed him.

Sure he lost, but he was in control of that battle for the most part.

Oh, i didn't realised it's called Quel, not Duel. will have it changed.

the gold frame is supposed to try the painting constrast like strike freedom. because the armour is black in color, the frame strikes out. You can imagine it as having the strike freedom system in it, but that's another thing. the painting was done with commercial paint cans, and i'm not really a pro at it. i have also made some scratches to it while trying to put in the electronics.

MG Zeta Gundam Unit #3 - April, 5,250 yen

As reported in Gunota we can expect a MG Zeta Gundam Unit #3. But from what i see in the below pic, doesnt look like there's any/much change. More of a recolour..

I believe this is what it's suppose to look like.

The Zeta looks like a straight recolor to me. And it looks like they'll be a bunch of stickers for the purple areas.

But damn, the Akatsuki looks pretty sharp. Expensive gold plating FTW!

Anyone getting the Akatsuki?

^ Nope. No friggin way.

That, and I never liked the original 'Hundred-Type' it was based on.

Sometimes Gundam pay tribute to the good ol' big robo-genre, and some mecha designs are just... an affront to my sensitivities (not that Akatsuki is a big-robo type, but you know...)

The New Zeta most prob is to promote the coming event

Green Divers talk event
E-Field's site put up a promo for a talk show event commemorating the screening of 0087 Green Divers at the Tokorozawa Aviation Museum. Sunrise producer Shigeru Horiguchi, who's been involved with several Gundam CG productions, will be speaking on March 11 with a special guest and merchandise raffle also scheduled. Green Divers is showing at the Museum through March 31.

Frm Gunota

The gold stands out too much and it looks weird. The fact that the frame is gold, and the rest of the model is...just mediocre. No paint, seam lines, sprues (kinds of stands out when you take pictures). It's just bleh...

i still say its a simple recolour and nothing more.

Also this is fanart:

I would have kill for a Buster Zeta...

How long before top coat wears off?

You're probably right lol..the episode was too fast-paced for me since it was only 15 mins long.

So, HLJ has edited the shipping for the Hi-Nu Gundam, and I must say: OMG!
38 for EMS and 41 for SAL. Why is SAL more expensive? A bit awkward.

Lol. I m tempted to buy it...just because it's so blingy...but the price...well either that or the Amatu...

- Wears off? Why would it wear off? Top Coat is just like any layer of paint. It stays, it sticks. The only way for you to 'wear it off' is if you either rub it off on a regular basis, or if you spray paint thinner or paint remover on it.

If you do a PROPER top coat spray -- that is, you take time to cover the whole of the finished kit evenly and equally -- you should have no problems

- It's not a matter of how defective it is, it's a matter of "Can I fix this?". If you can't fix it, it's a problem. But if you can, I guess it's not too much of a problem.

Take the case of the HGUC Gelgoog Marine. That kit had problems with the shoulder armor/shoulder joints. Mainly that the shoulders were pretty fragile. I solved it by strengthening the joint and changing the shoulder armor slightly so that it didn't wear on the joint and break it.

(I may just be blind). But I wonder, if that Noir can do the whole grappling move...let alone if it's arms can do that rotation... From what I remember, off a strike, when you rotate the arms backwards, it runs into the pack...but...hmm...

And I used some Uhu glue (those glue that comes in yellow tubes) to scrub them into my Z Plus' hip joints. It worked (although knowing you Wave, you will find a way to get round the MG Noir's limitations, if there is any).

GameraBaenre: I don't know what to say about the Qubeley...I'm speechless.

I don't know now, maybe I'm too sad about the lack of a MG Buster Zeta from the Evolve 9.
