How dare you laugh at the feet lol, for one thing it's the next best thing to a Dom

And while we're at it, I'd like to see a 1/144 sized Destroy Gundam. Yes, you heard me right, 1/144 sized, but chances are you are thinking differently

Let me explain. I'd like to see a Destroy the size of the average 1/144 Hg models, which would probably throw it into the 1/300 area, but hey, my 1/144 average HG size sounds better

that dude has a scratch built destroy under his 1/144 link. But I think it was scratch built onto a 1/144 model.

Maybe the 100th MG is a Colony Devil? XD

Anyways, I really wouldn't mind an MG of the original Wing Zero. No Endless Waltz, no Ver Ka, just the original TV Wing Gundam Zero - I've been wanting to see a better proportioned, Neo Bird Mode done right.

Otherwise, the only other thing I'd ever get is an MG ∞ Justice Gundam to match my SF (with silver joints! lol and an effect part to display the backpack in flight, lol), however rather unlikely seeing as though there isn't even an MG of the stock Justice Gundam.

I would like to see the death syth hell in MG form one of my favorite gundams

Sorry for the poor quality, I had to use my phone >_<...

Spoiler for Renewed Strength and Justice:

Spoiler for X20A, Strike Freedom, ready to launch!:

"Kira Yamato, Freedom, ikimasu!"

Spoiler for What is that?" "A new unit?" "It's fast!:

"...Freedom!?"

Spoiler for ""Ugh! These are...!":

*Newtype flash* "ATARE!!!"

Spoiler for "Warning! Object coming from above descending at high speed!":

Spoiler for Gundam SEED Destiny collection:

NOTE: The Wings of Paper, although did not come out very well on camera, are still in its prototype stages and is not displayed in its final product yet. They still need to be trimmed and refined, and usually at varying conditions, the paper is lose and become bent (I forgot to close the windows while takng pics, XD).

An MG X gundam would be the sexiest thing under the sun. And with the increasing popularity of X, it wouldn't be too big a stretch....

Destiny's Wings of Light looks like it's actually glowing there O_O WOW

[Meehlimo]

look sweet btw ur wings of paper look really interesting i have an idea for my own now thanx.

[M_Flores]

I use thin tracing paper and colour the rear page with the specific coloured highlighter (pink obviously for destiny, and a light blue for Strike Freedom).
If you're going to do this, you'll probably be aware that the paper will bend due to the thinness of it - but you can remedy that by constantly rolling or bending them in the other direction and eventually, they will sit straight or in the direction you desire. If you see the Destiny Gundam's paper, you'll notice its a little more well-positioned, this was due to the constant rolling and minor folding, which a similar result should also occur with Strike Freedom's over time. However, you might probably find a better version or method for yourself, so yeah, good luck!

[Critias]

Could also color one side of the paper, and apply oil or something to the other side of it. That way, it'll "glow" when light hits the back.

Release!

Proposed Stand for the Hi-Nu ?



Anyway, this Amuro Insignia Stand looks better than the half ass action base Bandai gives us with the MG SF. Good to see Bandai is more catering to us UC-ers, if this plan turns out to be true.

[kct]

So it seems that the high cost for the MG Hi-Nu is justified.

Now only if DHM would release Buster Zeta conversion parts for the MG Zeta 2.0...

Hmmmah, time to throw in my own:

I can't read that, but is it hinting that there will also be a beam effect part inside/on the FFs?

And for you SRW fans my Wessy

nicely done but its hard to tell from the images but did u fully paint everything??? whites and blues? and what type of paint do u use? gloss semi-gloss or matt?

personally i used semi-gloss as i think thats more on how the box art looks like well thats just me.

well ive been slacking off but i finally finsihed my cross bone haha now to start on my SF but i need gold paint b4 i can.

Yes. But it will be clear plastic sheets with the beam effects painted on it to simulate the load and ready state of the FFs instead of clear parts.

Looking at the picture, I'm sure to people here that the 4 arms sticking out of the base are rotatable with 3 holes on each to place the FF effects as you see fit. Then there are 3 more holes on the upper arm of the stand to simulate the FFs leacing the FF rack of the Hi-Nu.

But the biggest selling point of the stand (to me) will be that's it will be in the shape of Amuro's Insignia (The stylise A on the left shoulder of the Nu) to give it a more personalise touch for the legendary pilot.

[SNT1]

man, if it only had core-works/G-sys proportions it would've been the ultimate master grade.... ah well, not like Im gonna fork $80++ dollars on it...

[kct]

I would not even dare to think what Bandai has in store for the big 100, if the Hi-Nu is any indication.
