If you don't have a steady hand, tape the tabs on the edges and handpaint the missiles. Correct any mistakes afterwards with a small brush. I don't think it would be worth trying to mask all the tiny gaps. You could try it if you have alot of time on your hands.

haha! i finally found a shop that sells the PG astray a little below bandais retail price and not for around $220 like all those ebay sellers XD i cant wait to get it, it will be my first perfect grade^^

what i did for my type-d, and i'll try to get picks up later, is paint the bottom gray first and then the missles orange. any slightly spilled orange on the gray won't be that noticable.

also paint the part while they're still seperate. it close to impossible if you try to paint them connected.

also i handbrushed. dunno if you where thinking of airbrushing.

Slightly off-topic maybe, but..

MG 00Q Quantum Burst mode :love::love:

** It's a diorama, nothing from Bandai yet.

One of the reasons why I didn't buy a MG 00 Qan[T] yet since there's a possible chance of them coming out with the Quantum Burst gimmick.

And that the MG release lacks quite a lot of extras such as stands for the bits...even Robot Tamashii has the ring for GN Field effect, plus beam saber parts...

Yeah, but the ring for the RD figure isn't green. So it's kinda lacking in the whole effect department.

that is one pretty diorama!^^
i dont really care about the quantum burst gimmick, i just like the quanta itself, thats why i ordered the master grade kit. and i dont really regret that! the quantum burst kit once its released will be more expensive (i dont have a lot of money) and take up more space (which i dont have, either). and i am very happy with the kit as it is right now, it has amazing posability, im especially happy with the legs, they are amazing!
in terms of posability its my favorite kit right now^^ but im sure that will change once my PG astray arrives XD

im hoping they come out the mg full saber qan[t] =x

ignoring my current wip & decide to do this in 1st for 2011

1 hell of a wicked harute

That looks awesome. Is that possible with just the normal GNS-IV or is it modded to fit there?

Regarding the upcoming Shenlong MG....
 

HW Japan has the Shenlong MG available for pre-order but their price is 6,860 yen. See here: http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/BAN10122991.aspx

Does anyone know why the price is so much higher then the previously released MG's from the same line?


HAPPY NEW YEAR, btw!!!

It's not supposed to be that expensive. According to the magazine scans a few pages back, the MG Shenlong Ver. Ka should only be 3,990 yen. It's either a massive typo on HW Japan's part, or they're ripping us off :heh:

Thank You GrimmReaperNL and JC..., After you mentioned handbrushing it sounds alot easier to paint the missles. I'll go find my small brushes an try it. I was going to try a spray can on them. :p

Found some old pictures of Cagalli an Shinn Fighting and Kira come from the sky an saves her.

00 Qan[t] full saber done

You bought an extra Qan[T] for the FS package? Nice!

yea i bought extra for it...in fact nw i got another spare reserved not knwing what to do with that (bought 3 sets in fact :heh:)

Buy the clear version of the FS :D Or just use it for messing around with the Shields (like hobby no toriko)

lol...im not fancy for clear parts/kits :heh:

in fact i got 2 sets of FS i can do what hobby no toriko can do less the clear ver lol
