Anyone actually noticed there's a clone of Anew Returner or Revive Revival at the end of G00 S2?

Looks like some people just got their PG 00 Raiser clear parts:  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I don't see the point of getting the clear parts if Bandai gave us this warning:[/color] "In order to build a Perfect Grade 00 Raiser using all of the clear armor parts, an unbuilt 00 Raiser kit is needed. (In other words, you have to add the parts as you build, and cannot add all of them later once the model has been assembled.) If you try to remove the armor parts from an already-built PG 00 Raiser, you will find there are some parts that physically cannot be removed, and some other parts are likely to be broken if you try to forcibly remove them. Therefore some parts absolutely cannot be replaced if starting with an already-built model. Your understanding on this point will be appreciated. Also, there is a risk of breaking the clear parts contained in the original PG 00 Raiser kit, and these clear parts are not included in the clear armor parts set. Due to the nature of the material used in the clear armor parts set, once a PG 00 Raiser has been assembled using the clear armor parts, there is risk of damage if you attempt to remove the clear armor parts and replace them. The clear armor parts cannot be removed and replaced after they are put onto the model. "This post has been edited by VincC454: Feb 1 2010, 10:21 PM |

QUOTE(Azureseilue @ Feb 1 2010, 08:33 PM) Is ok , but not every time I post those stuff on here. Game thread very silent at lowyat, I wonder why.
It's pretty obvious. You're too rude, people are afraid / don't care to reply.
QUOTE(evanrue @ Feb 1 2010, 08:27 PM) whoa, what's with the negative energy????  parody is raising a valid concern ..besides this is a Gundam & Mecha Modelling thread, not for games la.. there are other threads for that

QUOTE(temptation1314 @ Feb 1 2010, 10:19 PM) @Parody, From the looks of the Action Base scale, it looks more like 1/100 than 1/144  QUOTE(golbeza @ Feb 1 2010, 10:25 PM) yeah, i thought so too, first it looks like the PG, then it really looks like the MG Gundam OYW. But then again model was heavily modded , the picture can be deceiving >3, its a 1/144 
Temptation1314, you can easily tell which scale is the kit if you see the Action Base's connector to the Gundam's 'groin'
Another guy who's pretty good in modding 1/144s is eday from ZeroG. Do check out his works.
QUOTE(golbeza @ Feb 1 2010, 10:25 PM) lol parody, ur absolutely right, nobody shud be scared to reply to whoever they choose to reply to. and yeah azure, so wat if the game is interesting to u? to other ppl, it might look lame and all, they prefer other games, they think different from u there's no need to be so rude with oh-red-font-so-big-i'm-powerful. just my opinion, try to be understanding as well liao. 
Fast acting mod removed the related posts already, indirectly leaving my font black instead of purple |

QUOTE(golbeza @ Feb 1 2010, 09:46 PM) awsm liao rm800 is really something, hehe. i still collecting HG OOs >_<, they seem small and awsm >_<
All in all, four 1/144 HG Celestial Beings look better than just 1 MG Exia 
QUOTE(golbeza @ Feb 1 2010, 09:46 PM) when is MG GN-X just selling here?
Released in 28th Feb, so probably TimeMachine will have it by this weekend.
QUOTE(constantine85 @ Feb 1 2010, 10:12 PM) yeah golbeza.. i already got the ng one..thinking of getting the seven sword as first double00 hg  anyway I prefer getting the red flame kai 1st 
Bro, one thing i learnt from buying Bandai's products is to wait & see. I think 7 Swords is the last HG 00 Gundam variation we'll see, unless Bandai decides to release a Trans-Am version of it, which i think they'll not. If it's your first 00 Gundam, then i suggest you go for it but mind you, the design's pretty close to Gundam Qan[T], which will inevitably be released as a HG 1/144 in the future. For me, i'll wait for Qan[T].
I'm also not getting MG ARF Kai because i think they might release a Flight Pack for ARF. Until now, i haven't bought an MG Exia in hope of an MG Avalanche Exia, or perhaps the better looking Exia, Astraea.
QUOTE(Hellscream @ Feb 1 2010, 10:45 PM) The Clear part PG 00, it will be more better if the GN drive is clear part .....
That part is already pre-assembled and can't be taken apart unless forcefully. So if they gave 2 clear GN Drives as well, that would be costly 
QUOTE(Azureseilue @ Feb 1 2010, 11:13 PM) Stares...Jiii... Whats mean? You mean wanna me to better vanish?
It means my font is black and not purple.  |

QUOTE(300078 @ Feb 3 2010, 10:51 AM) U play with them too much? All i know is that all those u mention used ABS joint.... the main purpose of ABS joint is to let the model kit pose better, stand and do better action but not for playing.
QUOTE(gaiachronicler @ Feb 3 2010, 11:22 AM) serious problem. red frame also same joint like this. not to mention, i think all the new MG gundam is this kind of joint. remind me of my unicorn joint as well but my unicorn now no prob.
MG Unicorn won't suffer this because the 'male' joint is actually shorter than the rest, meaning less friction between the joints. That part of the joint might pop out, but it won't get twisted off and break.
QUOTE(zieraq @ Feb 3 2010, 02:40 PM)
Thanks bro, very useful link there.
But as far as i know, miliput is not hard/strong enough for this kind of 'heavy duty' part. I'm still looking for some tougher substance to be used for recast... |

QUOTE(zieraq @ Feb 3 2010, 05:17 PM) take building construction as example, there cement to create floor slab right? is cement enough? no inside the cement metal rod is everywhere & connecting each other to distribute weight. so use milliput putty as the cement & for the metal rod use something like paku or paperclip or maybe gundamium alloy if u can found 1 
The black part is the metal rod. The gray part is putty/epoxy/miliput or whatever.
If the force is applied like in the left picture, surely the metal rod will work its charms.
But if the force is applied like in the right picture (which is my case), the metal rod is useless. The gray part will still break apart, unless that whole piece (black+gray part) is metal. But then again, if the male joint is metal and the female joint is ABS plastic, that female plastic will wear and tear quite fast.

Before this thread gets out of topic, here are pictures of the upcoming MG Unicorn OVA...

QUOTE(zieraq @ Feb 3 2010, 08:07 PM) maybe there will be some update/upgrade with the decals. lets wait & see. about the broken joint, u can try use teflon tape (usually use to seal pipes) to minimize the friction so less probability of broken. I did mine & nothing broken so far.
Teflon tape? Sounds like a unique solution. LOL. Might give it a try on my yet-to-be-broken joints. Thanks!
QUOTE(gorilakang85 @ Feb 3 2010, 10:50 PM) ya, my destiny joint also almost unmoveable... nxt time can try move to move the joint to test the tightness b4 completely snappin it in... can reduce abit wit knife scratchin if too tight..
Yeah, that's the symptom alright... force move the legs and it'll twist and break. Should sand it down a bit first before plugging in the joints.
QUOTE(Exiled_Gundam @ Feb 4 2010, 12:31 AM) Uhh 7500yen is 150% of the ver Ka's price you know (ver Ka one is 5000yen); 2500 yen can get u two Kotobukiya Mechanical Base already
For MG Unicorn, you'll need TWO Koto Mech Base to cover its height, so it's about the same for that price.

QUOTE(Strikez1987 @ Feb 4 2010, 10:33 AM) wow...is that really NG kshatriya???hmm....do u think there will be MG ver in future? if yes kinda waste to get this in NG... but this NG still looks best wif the supreme painting skill...
But of course, Bandai's releasing a new line of model kit somewhere in June or July, quality between MG and PG. Who knows it might be a line of those super huge mechs like Nightingale, Zeta Plus "Hummingbird", Queen Mansa, S Gundam "Deep Striker", Neue Ziel, etc.
They already made a Jumbo Grade RX-78-2 easily at such a cheap price as, so this line of huge mechs could be made possible.
QUOTE(300078 @ Feb 4 2010, 12:35 PM) parody how is with ur repair job? Any luck? How bout u try using those rod frm the runner... especially those ABS runner. Then drill a hole in the original part and fit it into it along with some plastic cement.
I managed to fix my MG IJ using MG SF:FBM's extra parts. Just some sanding and cutting needed. Gonna try zieraq's suggestion of using Teflon tape to lessen the friction between joints...
MG SF:FBM does come with a lot of unused parts in case you all didn't notice...

I intend to fix my MG:SF's shoulders with leftover parts from my Koto kit
As for the other kits, they belong to my friends, so i'm not sure how's their repair progress. |

QUOTE(Kinci @ Feb 4 2010, 10:10 PM) Kshatriya seriously poisoned me. Dang mean looking. Used to play with this, but kinda messed it up since it was my 1st try in modifying. After done with it, I found like dozen leftover parts which I got no idea where it's suppose to go, or use, n yea, I screwed up with the stickers as well. By the time I learned how to stick them better I already ruin more than half of it.  On the comfort side, well at least dint break any parts. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Only the Neograde Kshatriya looks menacing. The HGUC version... is a chubby green boy hiding under a coconut tree
Yeah, the MG Zaku 2.0 is a very good kit. One of my favourites too  |

I don't think so. You can actually spot a ABF2L on the top right of ARF's head in the boxart. So if the boxarts can join, there'd be two ABF2Ls, which is weird

QUOTE(leng2 @ Feb 8 2010, 02:18 AM) i bought a mg zeta plus a1 the other day, thinking it's about time i should build one myself. after seeing all the pics posted, it kinda puts me off knowing that i don't have all the tools that would make the kit look good. all i have is a borrowed toolkit (cutter, knife, etc), and a used gundam marker. i have a fg gundam which i assembled quite some time ago, it looked pretty awful... that's why i bought the mg, thinking it would look good just like in the pic =.=" now that i know that there are quite a no. of tools involved, can someone actually list out the price (and where to get em) for the things you've used when modelling your kit?
Actually, most MG kits carry a picture of the straight assembled version with decals applied without any painting whatsoever. Look out for it.
QUOTE(leng2 @ Feb 8 2010, 12:15 PM) basically i have zero skills in modelling... i think i'll get another fg to test it out first... can i know where you guys get your airbrush, compressor, epoxy putties, coats, etc and how much do they cost?
All the experts can be found here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/703675
But, i'd say that an FG is harder to paint and mod as the size is small and there's a lot of work to be done. A 1/144 HG or a 1/100 NG would be a better choice.
QUOTE(300078 @ Feb 8 2010, 01:54 PM) After looking at the trailers and other promo of the Gundam Unicorn.... i personally think that Rezel is more cooler than Unicorn.
Yes, i think so too.

QUOTE(Hellscream @ Feb 8 2010, 10:35 PM) Blue Frame , Nebula Blitz and another MS....what is that MS behind Red Frame? Another Blitz ???
It's Nebula Blitz as well. It's one of those teleport systems that leave after-images like Gundam F91
QUOTE(SilverSpoon @ Feb 8 2010, 10:38 PM) I'm more interested in Robot Damashii becoz of it's articulation. To me, i think GFF have very limited articulation. By the way, just wanna ask everybody where do you guys get the chance to watch Gundam OO, Gundam Seed Astray & all those stuff?
Articulation, surely Robot Damashii. Looks, surely Cosmic Region
By 'watch' i think you mean anime and not manga. Seed VS Astray only available in manga/photonovel for now.
As for Gundam 00, we watch it by buying the original whole season BD boxset.
Or go look up the word 'illegal download'.
