Wow, I can't wait until I get my hands on it.. it simply looks amazing. Only about a month left I guess.

i cant believe it actually looks better than the core works version. i dunno, there's just something that this one has that the core works one doesnt, mind you, the core works one is prolly one of the best conversions i've seen.

Although I absolutely detest default colors, I must say that MG Freedom was painted with skill and attention. Good job.

this i post some pic on my noir (still under construction n for choices of colour http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...4/DSCN2158.jpg another angle http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...4/DSCN2159.jpg the red circle is where i tried using white color, while in the blue circle is the original colour..any suggestion which one is better??:) |
It looks good so far. I myself personally like the white (although ask others for opinion as well) that you did, although it doesnt look drastically different from the original colour.
Perhaps add a third colour? Anyways, the reason why I'm not too keen on Black Gundam are that to me, Black is a stealth colour (in general) and suits more stealthy kind of Gundams like Blitz or DS-Hell, etc. Compared to this, Red/Crimson/Scarlet Gundams remind me of more close-combat theme than ever (Sword Impulse, Sword Calamity, Aegis, Epyon, Justice, etc. although with the except of some - which is why I always prefered Saviour in a different colour). I'd suggest to try a Strike Gold, but then we have Akatsuki. |

For example, the Master Grade Hyaku Shiki with Ballute Pack costs the same as the original MG Hyaku Shiki because the Ballute Pack version comes in plain yellow colors. When you think of it, that means the Ballute parts are pretty much the same cost as the Gold-metal plating. The problem is because only certain parts of the kit require gold-plating--the joints. That's too few parts to retool for plating, and since these are joints I think that the plating will actually wear out the metallic look. It's not you--the question is if there are enough buyers out there for Bandai to justify gold-plating it (The SF) at all--unless they release a metallic edition like the MG Freedom limited version. Personally, I'd prefer no metallic colors at all, but that's because I paint my kits. I like putting effort into building kits. If you don't like modelmaking, you shouldn't be buying Gundam models. Stick to your action figures. No effort and they look good. If you buy a Gundam model and don't bother to do anything to make them look better, dump it in the garbage bin because you're wasting money. Second, wait a few years--your Gold-plated kits will eventually suck. ESPECIALLY if you live somewhere sunny (or anywhere that sunlight strikes your kit on a regular basis). Mark my words. Quote:

If you have to be a purist, fine. buy your model and customize it the way you want to. Unlike real-world military models, Gundam model kits aren't real-world machines, and even if they were, you can't criticize someone for being inaccurate just because he wants to take some artistic liberty with his models.

The Crossbone uses some parts from the F91, so there's less costs for development (the arms and part of the legs/feet are the same parts as the F91), and since it's just the Gundam itself, that's a fair bit less as well. And it's good, since IMHO the Crossbone's internal leg frames are more studry than the F91's. Likewise, the Harrison Version F91 should be cheaper than the Original Color F91--it's essentially the same kit, recolored, with slightly different arms, but no Lafressia stand. Quote:

More than suck. By the way, is the MG Strike IWSP a good idea? (Although I wanted the Zeta Plus C1, so it is a toss between the 2)
I finally got the cash (and the green light) to buy a Gundam kit now >.> . |

But the BSG is an awesome gun >.> .

I'd stick to Z+ C1. I'm a bit more biased for UC, but still, IWSP is just ugly, while the Z+ is sleek secks.
|
Needs animated Z+ >.> . The reason the MG IWSP is awesome is because it is not piloted by Kira (it was said that Sven piloted the IWSP before going Noir).
Problem is that the only C1 around the area is more expensive than a V2 Zeta by about 5 bucks. |

Z+C1 = 3000yen Strike IWSP= 4200 yen Zeta2.0 = 5000 yen what a messed up store you have :heh: |
Dude. I posted the Zetas (except the ZII) in 4chan >.> .
And now my tripcode is blown >.> . |
heh.. I was bored and none of them are hotlinked to 4chan. :)
|
I know, please post more at that thread or something >.> .
By the way, is the Z+ any good? Dalong's pics of the Z+ C1 is scaring me for some reason. |
well, it has extremely minor problems, (like 2 halves that need to be puttied/masked <.< thas not even a problem for most modelers). Also, dont expect it to have the leg poseability of todays' MG, I mean its 5 years old.... but all in all its a great kit, very sturdy. I'm working on one right now.
|
wooo...i'd buy those Zetas...if Bandai ever makes them. Out of all the gundams, my favourite is definitely the zeta.
