I think the correct method is to rotate the wings up and they are supposed to separate themselves slightly. Even if done correctly, the wear and tear on the yellow joints is outrageous. Dalong.net confirmed this as well.

I can't help but think that November's MG might be a Reborns Gundam. Slight chance maybe? 00 Raiser is more likely.

What about O gundam Type ACD?? because it could use back the almost the same frame as the RX78-2. Maybe include the GN-sword 3 for Exia then make the final scene.

QUOTE(gaiachronicler @ Sep 8 2010, 11:41 PM) yesshu.. tried mr.color gold. fail miserably  too liquidy. so tried combining the gold with marker gold sangoku gundam marker top with clear yellow coat. worked abit. still fail experiment. want to achieve perfect gold withouth spraying  or using gold foil sticker  I thought it was "universally accepted" that the best gold is a layer of black, followed by silver/chrome, followed by clear yellow with a mix of clear red/orange? I think your question is best put in the Mecha Modeling & Modding Thread.

Hmm.. I might or might not, Parody. Depending on what quality of milk they give us. About the chrome marker thing, we just mark it above the plastic? Or we have to go through another mixing process. Anyway its getting out of topic so lets just refresh our mind with some Clear Colours. HG 1/144 00 Qan[T] 1,700 Yen (inclusive of tax).     Finally my mind is clear from the ugly Hi-Nu from a few days ago.

Finally my mind is clear from the ugly Hi-Nu from a few days ago. it juz mark it on plastic. very easy to used but take longer time to dry compare to ordinary marker. back to topic! nice one bro. mayb will go for clear collection later on. seems clear collection for hg is better than mg with inner frame.

OverFlag, Masurao & Susanowo's designs are a lot better than the Braves  . I'll skip these and wait for the HG GN-X IV variations instead
