It is pretty simple acctually, if you have the kit with you already, you can c that all are individually ball jointed, and the parts that are linked is pretty simple to cut. You have to apply some pressure when you cut it tho. Just do it slowly and it will b fine. Just as a warning, if you cut the fingers that are gold plated, the mark left will b black. use the other set of fingers that are not gold plated that comes with the same kit i think.

I was going to ask, what did you use to sharpen the fins? Its a very fragile part I'm curious how you managed to do that.

I wouldnt recommend cutting them they are combined by design to hold the weapons firmly in the plam.

Sharpening V-fins can be easily done by using sanding sticks and slowly sanding down until you get a sharp point. This can also be done to make the v-fins thinner as well. With sanding, you have alot of control over how much material is removed.

Did you include that in your video guide? How would it be possible to sand a small fragile part like fins? I can imagen it would snap very easily.

Well, I will include this in my next release of the tutorial :)

In my tutorial, I show a picture of some sanding sticks. Starting with the back one (roughest grit) use this one to do most of the shaping work. Then use the other sanding sticks to polish it down. Yes, the V-Fin's are very delicate, so you want to place the flat end of the fin on flatly on your hand and then lightly sand. It may take a while since you are slowly shaping it while you sand it down, but you have much more control. Here are some sample pictures of a Kampfer head fin that I sanded down, and then a picture for comparison of a non sanded Kampfer head fin,

In other news: Anyone here planning on going to Anime Expo in Long Beach CA? if so, there's a model contest: http://www.anime-expo.org/?q=profess.../model_contest
Hopefully they will let me be judge (which will put me out of the running, but it will be worth it if I can get as many participants as possible)

I'm still seeding it. As well as one of my other friends - and he has fios so he can upload pretty quickly. The more additional videos I make for it will make the thing even bigger :) Reminds me that I should look into some video compression software...

And then there's this "rumor" floating around from THIS blog [translation courtesy of PlasticFrog]:

I'm going to the Hobby Show in hopes that they might show it there (^^). Anyway, this was an off-the-record talk, so I don't know how reliable this info is, but I felt I should let you people know♪ Aaahh... I don't want to work....

2. Note while he claims that MG Destiny got a green light, MG Force Impulse is still just a rumor, even within a rumor post. I guess that goes to show how unlikely it truly is (as many of you have repeatedly pointed out). I really would've loved an MG Sword Impulse, but oh well.

So while that post's credibility is dubious at best, it's also a pretty "safe" rumor, if you know what I mean -- no truly outrageous claim, and things that have a fair chance of becoming reality.

Uh, what do you mean? I don't know how much the kit cost because my customer provided the kit for me. But in the past I've seen these kits at toysrus.com for $15 or so, and then normal price is about $40 or so.

IMHO a snapped kit never looks good, it needs the seams fixed, things sanded, and painted :lol:

That evolve RX-78 is awsome except for the feet they look lame -_-

thephreak 2007-05-14 20:30

is the difference between the strike freedom MG and full burst mode the way the dragoon system can be positioned? is there an actual difference between the two models or just the stand that allows the dragoon system to be mounted

edit: i think im just gonna make a custom stand for the regular MG kit

There is no difference between the standard & full burst release of the master grade strike freedom. The full burst release includes bonus material & extra parts (see dalong) plus a clear blue action base. The dragoon mounts are clear acrylic cable which attach to the action base included.

The gold colour for the MG Full burst is different (ie. better) from the normal MG as well
