Gundam Models Discussion Thread

[LoweGear]

No images as of yet, but a couple of surprising kit announcements popped up today:

HG 00 Raiser with GN Sword III - October release, 2100 yen
1/100 Van Saviour Gundam - November release, 2940 yen

source: Ngeekhiong

Finally, an HG 00 Raiser set that has a normal color GN Sword III Although I'm intrigued by the second announcement, hope the Van Saviour is done well >.>

does anyone find the 144 throne drei to be decently designed? i find theres 2 main mobility problems with mine. the backpack can never be brought up 90 degrees for the full GN stealth sheild as the frame is too tight and stops it. the fact that it wasnt proportionedfor it to rise above the vertical gn vent behind the head doesnt help much either. is it just me or is the back pack is too close in so the fins or the beam sabers get in the way? is there anyway to position the sabers so it wont get in the wait for full burst gn sheild? aside from that i find the model pretty good.

What you do is get Krazy Glue, and put a SMALL dab of it on the loose joint, or the socket where the join goes. Then, you continuously move the joint, so the glue doesn't dry and it never moves again. The more you move it, the more friction will build, you'll feel the joint get stiffer and stiffer (pun intended).

I've used it on my Robot Damashii 00 and it worked like a charm. Just gotta be careful. That's my method, anyway.

Is Krazy Glue a brand of superglue?


I've had really bad experience with those.Everytime I use them,something really really permanantly bad happens;and not to the model kits either.If I were to even use that evil curse again;even on a small joint......I will need to think this through carefully and plan it weeks ahead.

I do have a Tamiya Thin Cement though,its weak at pasting bad broken things but it seems strong enough to handle something like this;in theory of course assuming no other factors come to mind.

Great,the moment Ifinally took my holiday time to learn how to paint and painted my GN-Sword III,only then they decide to release the normal GN-Sword III.

I'm gonna have to get it regardless...........I'm a sucker for HG 00 and I'm building a nice collection of its boxarts.

When panal lining white Gundams like Nadleeh, is it better to use grey than black?

Yeah, you can it almost anywhere, but like I said be cautious, the stuff is really strong. It's also an eye and respiratory irritant, so getting too close will cause your eyes to burn. I've been using the stuff on my Gudam figures and weapons for a year now, it takes time to master.

Bit IMHO it's the best way to fix a loose joint, or to prevent warping on the hands.

How is the legs and feet of HG Susanowo? I hope it stands better than the Overflag.
I'm thinking of getting it.

[LoweGear]

For one, it has a different shield, a different head and the wings have been moved to the shoulders. Nothing really radical though.

[Tormenk]

Only thing can be screwed up now is the color scheme on the Savior.

The legs can stand. It can't easily be topple down like the Over flags. Though the movements/articulations are a bit limited. If you open the legs too much/wide, the legs can come off the ball joint from hips/crotch/whatever.

I laughed out loud when I saw the news of 00 Raiser with GN Sword III kit

[justsomeguy]

I'll continue waiting for the HG 00 Raiser with GN Sword III Designer's Color.
