Oh the Smultron looks very nice.

I prefer the gray and white version, this one looks too...

GN0010 Nosferatu 2009-03-11 23:04

Sometimes, I wish O Gundam was the main Gundam of the series.

Just look at it? It's beautiful.

i wish we got to see it in action more or atleast get some flashbacks of ribbons kicking ass in it. I love its design, the orignal Gn Drive cone on its back and everything totaly worked for it. I guess i might buy it if it comes out in HG 1/144, or someday they'll release it in HG rollout colours

on a side note: WHERE IS MY SUSANOO AND ARCHE GUNDAM BANDAI?! ARE U SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST OR SOMETHING?

Un1ver5e 2009-03-11 23:17

Agreed. Where the heck is Masurao/Susanoo/Arche?

0 Gundam got shown 2 weeks ago and blam, a Robot Damashi mention. Arche/Susanoo/Masurao have been around for way longer and they don't even have a 1/144 release preview.

LightningZERO 2009-03-11 23:27

I hope 0 Gundam will get to do some classic pose in its upcoming (and probably last) battle

Same here. I'm thinking of something along the lines of the RX-78's iconic "last shooting" pose (cause we all know the 0 Gundam is gonna get trashed, might as well make it go out in style)

Matt - Most modellers prefer using matt on their Gunpla. A matt finish removes the shiny plastic sheen on the models which makes them look artificial instead.

Semi gloss - I'm not really a fan of semi-gloss. IMO, the effect it gives is almost the same as the models untouched, with that dumb plastic sheen.

Full gloss - Full gloss is normally used by modellers who want to give their work a metallic finish.

Hope that helps. =)

Adding onto what he said:

Matt finish helps to bring out the actual color of the parts. I sprayed my MG strike's shield with matt and the white looks whiter than the rest of the strike. :heh: And I think matt topcoats help to reduce fingerprints somewhat if you like playing with your models but don't quote me on this.

There is not much of a difference in semi-gloss. I sprayed some parts of my HGUC Sazabi with that and I was like 'lolwut', couldn't tell much before and after spraying there was a difference though it does help to eliminate the plastic swirling found from the injection process.

Glossy finish if you want your kits to be eye catching since glossy finishes are shiny and all. Though it leaves fingerprints very easily on the surface.

Do note the 'ace' variant Zakus' tend to have larger leg armor which limits their leg movement slightly less than the the 6S or 6F variants.

Adding the Regnant onto my list as well..however unlikely it may show up in HG form.

MG Zaku F ver. 2.0`
 
So im done painted and putting togeather my Zaku, all i need now is to put the decals and panel lines then ill be done should be able to do most of that tomorrow. I hope i get it done by then because resident evil 5 is coming out on friday and not sure how much time ill have to work on it. And im very pleased with the posability of the zaku it can do a lot of great poses but i suck at doing them and the inner frame is really awesome and detailed i might go in and paint all hte highdrilics at a later time no rush since you cant see 90% of them. Over all i love this kit and cant wait to build my other 2.0 kits.

Okamidum 2009-03-12 00:07

I seriously would not mind a MG Regnant or a NG 1/100. I think it looks amazing. Course it would be huge though.

if i remember correctly that the two first prototype gundams created before the main rx-78-2 were painted bleached white & black colours but were destroyed by the zeons before they can even get into action?

Um... O Gundam got shown in the first episode of Season 1 and by far the oldest Gundam in the series, IIRC.

That's pretty cool. I might have to get one of those.

i think they forgot something important about the O gundam's design.....

the wings of light!, they forgot about the clear plastic wings of light that can be attached on the suit's GN drive cone, seriously people can mistake the O gundam for a special version edition of the original RX-78-2 gundam for the 30th anniversary project:heh:

I'm under the assumption you're talking about the translucent 1/144 trans am kits. In that case. Don't bother. Not much point to it as it won't show up very well. However if it's the 1/100 solid colour trans am kit then you'll need to panel line that to make it look better. But to be honest I don't highly rate translucent kits. I much prefer seeing normal 00 series kits with red/pink panel lining to imitate trans am mode.

Here's an example of what I mean by imitating trans am mode

Looking nice there. Look forward to see the results after decals are put on

Decals aren't that hard. As you most probably have found out the tutorials other's suggested it only really splits into 2 types. Dry transfer which you just rub on like the stencil sketches you do as a kid way back then and the other which is water slide decals in which requires more patience as you have to wet it to take it off it's backing slide and apply it, get rid of the excess water let it dry etc blah blah. Personally I prefer water slides because if done right it doesn't show up edge lines of decals like the dry transfers do. But if it's your first time. Try dry transfer one's first. Easier to learn with. Before moving on.

@Sir Dearka I'm going to try and make a talky review for Astrea Type F tonite hopefully. I made one on youtube last night for SD 00 my son kept getting in the way but not too bad lol but him and his mother and sisters are going out with the realtives tonite and I have to do some work at home so ill try to fit in the review then.

Here is my latest shipment from GSAM
Spoiler for GundamStoreandMore Swag:


And here are some more pics of SD 00 and 00 on the action base I just got


The action base was way bigger than I thought it was and seeing how this is my first time with a MG the box for that was huge as well. I'm gonna get started on painting destiny tonite if I can fit that into what im doing ^_^ Still gotta get used to my camera sorry about the brightness

On a different note. I'm sure as some if not most have seen Gundam evolve there was 3 zetas that appeared. The white/grey/purple one that amuro had which the closest thing that resembles is a MG kit. The yellow one which belonged to grey wolf in which so far is available only as resin conversion kits. But how about red snake?

Thought I share with you guys some guy who done a conversion for it. To be honest I love it. It be great if he would make a resin cast for it :) Be even better if it was 1/100 scale using zeta MG kit as base. But kudos for someone making red snake zeta.

Some of his other works is mind blowing especially with all the pistons and what not. Inspiring to say the least

LightningZERO 2009-03-12 12:15

I'm interested in that Musha Gundam

RAVNEN 2009-03-12 12:30

Hopefully Bandai release the Musha Gundam Mk II.I guess Susanno/Masurou will be release next month....

Okamidum 2009-03-12 12:31

The Box art for the Seravee 1/100 looks sick. I'm guessing the price will be similar to the Virtue 1/100.....haha. But is the doesnt look as tall as the Seravee, would that make it a 1/144?

@Mr.Capcom
What store did you buy the sparkling stands from, just curious.

MrCapcom 2009-03-12 13:32

Only Store I ever buy from so far GundamStoreandMore.
Prices and Delivery is so good only down fall is that they get stuff a bit late ill have fun waiting for seravee to get in stock.
But because I kinda just got back into gunpla all the stuff I really want is old like from wing/ggundam/seed series they do have 00 though last
batch of new 00 stuff they had was gn archer and some more 1/144 things

MrCapcom 2009-03-12 14:31

http://i.gizmodo.com/5168543/59+feet...s-enemy-robots

My Question is paint or no paint? lol

Okamidum 2009-03-12 14:55

Oh thanks. Ive been contemplating on whether or not to get the MG Zeta.
Holy cow, that is amazing. But only its head moves :[ Still though ,thats freaking sweet. I bet secretly, its more then a statue :D

M_Flores 2009-03-12 19:12

That Shin Musha Gundam box art is splurging of badass.

mr.bushido/graham shall worship that box art!:heh: & seravee+seraphim combo art looks just awsome:love: as always ,but what makes me wonder is that where the heck did seravee get the extra shoulder GN cannons while both of them were seperated from each other...:heh:

Un1ver5e 2009-03-13 00:21

Oh well, here's a cheaper alternative to the "Luxurious MG Shin Musha"

Haha sneaky. Buts its like the Virtue/Nadleeh box, where they show both. How was virtue on there and Nadleeh with? :p haha. Can not wait for the other releases next month.

Very nice link. I'm sure if someone put their mind to it can get much better results for cheaper than buying the kit with the stand. Then it's a matter of assembling a scratch build weapons rack to go with it :)

On another note. Does anyone know the current going rate of your usual run of the mill MG grade gundams in Hong Kong and Japan at the moment? As I'll be going Japan in May and then popping by home in Hong Kong afterwards before I fly back to UK.

Same here. They just got a decent chunk of my tax refund. I got the HGUC S Gundam and Destiny Unit 3, along with the HG Dynames. I have to say, I'm not so much worried about losing shelf space to the models as I am to the free pens!

I got the Zeta 2.0, and it's really cool. The transformation sequence is convoluted as hell, so I never really figured it out. Other than that, awesome weapons, awesome details, free stand that connects with the MG MK.II's base. What's not to like?

There is a new Hobby Magazine coming out:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%96%B0%E3.../dp/B001UDT59I

"Bandai Plastic Kit Information", only 200 yen. I guess it will be news only, much thinner than the big ones.

And on the cover of upcoming vol 1, "MG Gouf 2.0"

The Evolution.....

GN0010 Nosferatu 2009-03-14 01:58

Ah, 00 is kinda excluded from that evolution line up.

LoweGear 2009-03-14 02:03

No it isn't. 00 may take it's name from the 0 Gundam, but its technology and concept is still obviously taken from the GN-001 line (like the concept of the Seven Swords now fully realized in 00).

GN0010 Nosferatu 2009-03-14 02:17

Oh, well, for a second I was just thinking it was an entirely new unit.

I'm blacking out a bit.
