So here is my question, is the marker is toxic or non-toxic?
I suppose it's not something that would damage anything, right? Hope someone could help me to fill this form...

As far as I'm aware, Gundam Markers are non-toxic. Even if you lick the thing it shouldn't do anything to you (though you may feel a little nauseous).

And if you stab yourself with 'em?

Overpriced marker, underpriced drug, whatever you make of it

[duotiga]

gundam markers are basically.....paint markers.

I think RX-78-2 Gundam look nice than ZAKU....

Painting that 1/144 Char figure must have been a real pain.

Anyone who owns the MG Sinanju knows the size diameter of the vulcans in the head? I want to replace those with some metal ones.

Hey Guys, i got a question and i hope someone is kind enough to answer it:

I recently bought the HGUC Unicorn Gundam in both U- and D-Mode. Love both kits and wan't to display one of them with beam sabers. My problem: Both kids are tall and beams are too short which for me looks stupid. I found out the HGUC Jegan kits come with very long beams. Anyone knows if those fit into the Unicorns beam saber-handles? I already tried the one from the ReZel, MG beams and HG 00 beams. Nothing fits.

Thanks in advance.

[JC...]

Yeah, those short beamsabers are annoying. But, as a temporary solution, they're short so they fit on the wrist. I can't remember what the weapon is called.

[StrikeFreedomV2]

You mean those beam saber´s that flips out of the forearm? I think it´s a nice idea to have but I prefer a handheld beam saber.

[MoonLightShadows]

All of my HG Unicorn Beams are mixed up in the same box. The only beams that seem to want to fit is the shorter beams wich is probably Unicorns. The Jegans, Stark Jegans, Rezel and Kshatriya's longer beams, none want to fit in unicorns handel.

For real? That sucks big time. But thank you for clearing that for me.

I find it pretty weird that grunt suits get giant beams but the lead suit gets tiny ones.

Given that they're mounted onto the forearms, the beams may be smaller than the ones stored on the backpack.

theres another option about beam sabers. it takes a bit of work to accomplish it. i made some blue beam sabers for my 144 00 gundam. all i had to do was take the clear plastic (coloured or not) and cut saber lenght sections. the hard part is getting the shape and the butt to fit in the saber hole. the only annoyance is getting a comparable colour to paint the clear tree/tray sections of plastic.

Nice Zaku pics.

I've always been partial to the Rambal Ral Zaku I:



and Ramba Ral Zaku II model kits:

Sadly, that's not the case. All handles are exactly the same

I already tried to put beams from 00 kits into Unicorn's handles but the endresult was... underwhelming. I ruined 3 blades from other kit's like Arios and Seravee and i don't wan't to superglue

Maybe I should just buy a Jegan and use the handle from that kit.

[JC...]

Has anyone thought of reshaping the peg on the bottom of the blade? I did that to a MG Exia blade so it would fit into the barrel of my GM Sniper.

[optics]

Anyone know where I can get those clear rods/tubes or something similar that connects to the MG Strike Freedom's Dragoons?
