Can't say i'm surprised.

Hopefully i'll be able to order one soon. Just gonna finished of the HG Zeta i bought the other day.

I got my cherudim and GN-XIII yesterday.

I'm building the GN-XIII now and I still have some sanding work to do before it's ready to be painted.

I think should also get to work on my kyrios that is rotting in his box. 00 is also almost ready to be painted but I'm still busy fixing his V-fin.

I think they're referring to just the 00 Gundam, and not the 0-Raizer set, which won't be out until next month afterall

Hello guys I laid my hands on a 1/100 00 Gundam (thanks to AFA) and I'm currently figuring out how to paint the clear orbs. Do you do any of the following:

1. paint/paste the dark green sticker and paint clear green on the underside
2. paint silver on the bottom and paint clear green on the underside of the clear parts
3. paint silver at the back, clear green in front

Or any other options which you think will yield better-looking results? I'm never going to paste the stickers unless they are special markings and have like words on them.

Also, Gunpla Secret Factory managed to fit one of the LED units inside the chest! It's engineered to accept the LED device, but the neck joint parts need to be clear for the light to shine through. Anyone hoping for a third LED unit to come with the O Riser/Raiser/Raizer/whatever?

Paint dark green on bottom, then paint clear green on the underside of the clear part. I did that on my unfinished Astraea and it looked good.

Silver bottom is too light I think.

Somebody on the net showed off how they used clear green on the underside of the clear parts, and pasted sparkly silver wrapping paper instead of the stickers. The result was a green orb that sparkled under the light. It was genius.

Does the 1/100 00 Gundam come with the two small batteries for the GN Drives? Just wondering...

[duotiga]

Another HG Seravee painted review

[Exia_00]

forgive me if i am slow, but i discovered that the beams that come with the GN-X III and probly GN X in general, the beams for its beam sabers fit HG 00's beam sabers perfect

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I did see a pro modeller do a diorama of Virtue purging its armor the first time in the Gundam capture scene. He used holographic stickers under clear green to achieve the same result. Then again I'm afraid dark green on bottom removes the clear orb look. It really comes down to personal preference then.

Unfortunately no batteries are included and I'm having some difficulty looking for the batteries.
