It'd have to come with a stand as from the looks of it, it doesn't have any legs...

Also, how much is it

I had a similar problem not too long ago. When building the gun to my MG Freedom, the front barrel part broke of messing up three different parts. I was somewhat lucky in that fact that they all came from the same runner. I tried contacting Bandai but that was too no avail. The best thing to do would be to go though HLJ.com. They can re-order a runner for you. The only real downside is the waiting time since they actually wait until they get a stack of re-orders and then place them all at once so you might be waiting for a while. As a side note, I actually called up gundamstoreandmore.com and asked them what they know about that idea and the owner there( really nice guy by the way ) actually cut off the parts from a damanged model they got back and just sent them to me with my next order.

As a question to everyone else on these forums. All of you guys have been really helpful in answering my other questions so to preface that, I want to start applying the dry-stick stickers. I know the basic proceduere behind it simply is cut it out, apply tape to it so it stays in one spot and rub it in. My question is simply is there a specific tool to use and is there a generalized number of strokes to rub in on correctly or amount of time? Thanks in advance guys.

Did you intend to show it like that?

Nah but thats a idea lol I just was trying to put everyone close I gotta get the SD Destiny and it will take Strike Freedom's spot

@MrCapcom - I admit I like the bazooka variant wielding Astraea better than just two beam swords Is it just me, or you did not use stickers in some places, making it seem more plain because of monochromatism?

I think it'd look badass with a bazooka in one hand and a beam sword/shield in the other

Anyways, great model.

I'm not gonna front I don't know what monochromatism means.
And I didnt use stickers in some places because when I did the model the first time around I didnt have gundam markers and some stickers looked a bit weird so i left them off.
I like the beam swords for now I'll try the other poses when I get around to getting the other weapons built.

Thnx though

Haha, you think too much. There's really no need for any sort of 'specific tool'. You just need something sharp so it exerts pressure on the decal. You also don't have to bother about number of strokes/time and all.

Just be systematic, start from one area and move out. If you're unsure whether the decal has transferred on, just lift a portion of the decal to check without moving the decal. It's pretty straightforward.

It's for real. I used their service 4 years back I think. First time is free and you can order up to 4 parts. For other orders you need to pay.
