I'm actually from Hong Kong but currently live and work in UK. London to be exact.

Different note. I quite like the prototype exia. I'm sure even if it's not released by Bandai someone will scratch build the mods using exia's base frame to make the prototype model. Doesn't look too awfully hard to replicate. Just matter of who likes it enough to make one. Matter of time really.

I hope the MG Exia will give the option to assemble it as the R2 - but on the other hand, it would not surprise me in the least if Bandai decide to milk the frame by selling it as a separate kit later on...

The Pawn looks mass producable. I dig it :D It has some resemblance to Frieza from DBZ due to the colors and face too ^^;

But it's much prettier than Frieza.
...even Turn A is prettier than Frieza.

Thinking about getting that Sinanju novel. Although, it feels like a waste to get it solely for the weapon...

so the Unicorn Novel is a pure novel not a Manga? if so that sucks... Ive yet to find a translation too.

Apparently.

From the online sources I've seen, they all refered to it as a "novel", Volume 8.

yeah.. but the swords doesnt stay on his hands :(. unless i didnt put the swords correctly.

As of the moment. I can confirm Gundam unicorn is only manga novel. No anime series are set for production as of the moment, but there is rumoured to be plans for a one off movie. Not sure if it'll be ova style like stardust memory or one like Char's counterattack. Just have to wait and see.

What are you talking about. Turn A is a beaut :heh:

Pawn is indeed much prettier than Frieza though. It's just the color scheme I think ;)

Well judging from the pic you posted, you have the swords on the waist wrong too. The blue part is meant to be facing the back. Which means you'll have to switch one of the parts over.

site seems to be a bit dead the last few days... Anyone get any thing new built? Maybe some pics will help livin things up a bit.

Well, waiting for Dalong's review on the Sword Impulse.

So, anybody want to post pics of their collection?

Seems like somebody needs that link...

Sword Impulse review.

Thank you.

i'll post up my hi-nu mg once i complete it (so far only body, arms and head complete ><) as well as the rest of my collection.

in the meantime however i noticed that tamiya also stocks a 'Matt White' spraypaint (TS-27), if i use this paint would it have the same effect as using the plain white spray and then spraying it with the clear matt spray? so basically in other words, would using this paint save me the trouble of using a clear matt spray?

We'll get

MG Exia
MG Trans am Exia w/special coating
MG Exia R2
MG Trans am Exia R2 w/special coating

Special Coating: clear, translucent, silvery, metallic, gloss, designer's version....

so many possibilities

edit: I spend way too much time on here don't I?

Yes it would give you relatively the same effect. However it'll lose the benefit of a paint and decal protecting layer by going that route.
