More from that particular modeller's PG 00 Raiser gallery

And to top it off, it's accurate to the anime depiction of how the 0 Raiser wing binders actually move forward and backward - the GN Drive mounts don't rotate forward, it's the wing binders that rotate along the GN Drive mount. So technically, the HG 1/144 and the 1/100's depiction of how the 0 Raiser wing binders move is mechanically inaccurate to the anime

the modeller is clearly very skilled at his work, thanks for the pics lowegear, i was originally quite dissapointed that the wings couldnt rotate but with this news i'm 95% positive that i will buy it, the only bad thing is the squarish waist piece, but this is just a minor fault on otherwise a great kit

FIRST PG HERE I COOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

It makes me wonder about our earlier notification that the 00 Raiser's binders didn't move. Maybe they meant the GN-Drive mounts themselves didn't move, because they made it so that the thruster cones moved?

Lineart sketches for the MG GN-X

Spoiler for MG GN-X:

GN-X looks pretty good

That PG 00 Raiser is a thing of beauty....

That notification still remains true it seems.But not only can the cones rotate but the kit seems to be able to hold the Raiser wings in place,which is a good thing.

Some favourite angle poses of my HG requires the mount to move but no biggie.This is good news indeed.

Awesome,some cool poses in here,and it starts to be looking cool,contrary to my previous impression.Too bad it still doesnt change the fatc that it costs an arm and an leg.

The articulatioin is not too bad from the pics,but I'm seriously hoping it[the main [body] could do much more than the depiction [Something closer to the extremes of the HG version perhaps,though sometimes that may be asking for too much],especially to justify the price tag.But seriously,its back on my to buy list for sure,if I can get hold of the cash.

If I have a problem with the kit,it would be the linings.They simply don't match,0 Raiser seems to have alot of them but they are surprisingly lacking on 00 Gundam itself.Not the most deadliest of problems but I am a bit bothered by it.

True that. My main gripes are similar to yours, the pricing and the lack of panel lining. Oh well, I'll hold out on it temporarily and see if prices in the local market dip.

Btw. does anyone have any personal reviews on MG Sinanju? I don't have an air brush, but I'm planning to hand brush the gold trimmings before finishing up with gloss coat. Just wondering how tedious the painting/decal-ing process is.

While I don't particularly build kits, I love looking at the sheer beauty and detail that they have. MG GN-X is looking absolutely awesome.

LOL I guess I'm the only person eversince the beginning that wholeheartedly accept PG 00 despite the wing binder rotating capability

Anyway some people told me that PG might be too advanced for me but I still want to try it

Edit:
Favourite pose

Given the huge price and the amount of time you need to build this, I would strongly suggest you not do so unless you have the patience and ability to give it the full treatment (wash pieces, spray paint, assemble 50%, spray flat coat, etc.)

Your missing sanding, priming, hehe. I agree with Justsomeguy If your going to spend that amount on a model...errrrr PG. You might aswell invest the time to make it look good to..

Looks good, but no gn drive!

I'm really happy to see they have the beam sword in the thigh compartment for the GN-X

Both painting and decal-ing will burn quite some time off your hands, more so if you want everything to look good. Waterslides are a better option if you can get your hands on those since the dry transfers simply fail on the curved surfaces of the Sinanju.
