QUOTE(afsarudy @ Mar 3 2011, 07:01 PM) TQ Parody, u give me another reason to mod my Wing Ver. KA. Just a change of color scheme and it would pretty much look like Epyon.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you keep using Wing Ka to mod?

QUOTE(MyKy44 @ Mar 3 2011, 10:58 PM) but the DHell design one... not so good la. i'd rather fixed hands liek those for destiny and sword impulse.. Yeah, i agree that would've been better.
QUOTE(athrun234 @ Mar 3 2011, 11:58 PM) I have a feeling the upcoming Wing Series MG will have hands like DS Hell wan. Since shen long is confirmed.  Most probably all future small-sized MGs will carry that type of hands, not just the Wing Series.
Who's to blame? Katoki. He started it with the MG V Gundam Ver KA.
---------
Talking about V Gundam, anyone here owns the MG V or V Dash? Any honest good/bad comments about it?
My first GunPla was the HG 1/144 V-Dash Gundam. I feel like picking it up for nostalgic reasons, but something's telling me it's gonna have bad articulations and limbs falling apart here and there due to the transformation process.

QUOTE(Kikifish @ Mar 4 2011, 01:24 AM) maybe heavyarms may have the fixed hands.. since there is only one way to hold tat massive haevy gattling gun.. I hope they don't make it hold by the hands alone. It's better to have some connection point to the lower forearm armors.
QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Mar 4 2011, 04:06 AM) Don't have the kit, but from various reviews it seems that the problem with the Victory is 1)very tiny and fragile parts 2)poor hip joints - ball and socket instead of pegs which allow rotation of the thighs. Yeah, that's what i thought.
QUOTE(Agito666 @ Mar 4 2011, 09:56 AM) and no way it will come back in vacuum space... You're watching anime. Don't ever question their science or logic.
QUOTE(Agito666 @ Mar 4 2011, 09:56 AM) totally hate mecha is GUNDAM SEED ASTRAY VS series...totally non-sense deisngn 
QUOTE(kirashin @ Mar 4 2011, 10:24 AM) = =" y would u hate astray series mech?
QUOTE(Agito666 @ Mar 4 2011, 10:28 AM) read my post properly..i said "EXCEPT ASTRAY" there... Read kirashin's post properly. He meant Astray VS series.
QUOTE(MiloAIS @ Mar 4 2011, 03:44 PM) I'm looking for someone to assemble my newly bought Gundam 00 Raiser PG kit as I'm new in gunpla and don't have much time to assemble on my own. Try this thread here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1397850

QUOTE(kirashin @ Mar 4 2011, 06:46 PM) WTF??!! 100+ normal price for a HG??!! oh tat normal..considering the equipment it has... That's the recommended retail price (RRP).
Who actually buys Gunpla at RRP these days? That's crazy.
QUOTE(mambangafro @ Mar 4 2011, 10:19 PM) can i ask?what is metal composite model kit?i saw one in srw hot news forum,o gundam if i'm not mistaken... Not a model kit. It's an action figure, playable straight out of the box, with some parts made from die-cast metal.
QUOTE(Kikifish @ Mar 5 2011, 03:33 AM) kinda still waiting for the 1/100 00 movie kits.. gahh.. no news at all!!~  Not. Gonna. Happen.
QUOTE(athrun234 @ Mar 5 2011, 09:03 AM) I just hate small MG......  Haven't tried assembling F91 or V Dash before?
QUOTE(Guyver @ Mar 5 2011, 09:39 AM) The last photo was taken by after clicking the shutter button I move the phone closer to the model, the outcome is like sudden zoom-in in some anime. From your pictures' quality, i'm disappointed with the N8's Carl Zeiss optics. Nice trick on the last shot though.
QUOTE(man_hakim87 @ Mar 5 2011, 12:55 PM) U airbrush your unicorn? Nice shading. Yes, very nice shading. Subtle but noticeable.

QUOTE(fini862004 @ Mar 6 2011, 08:27 PM) just bought my HGUC clear pearl unicorn for rm68.90 n sparkle clear sinanju for rm110.90 ... i think is consider very cheap for me la. anyone got it first? From e-toyz at the Unicorn Episode 3 Premiere?
QUOTE(General_Nic @ Mar 6 2011, 08:54 PM) since got release of MG Rezel n MG Rezel Commander Type, thk got any chance will have MG Delta Plus? Considering all the mobile suits that appeared (or going to appear) in Gundam Unicorn, i would say there's a good chance of it.
Also a possible MG Geara Zulu, which can be turned into Angelo's custom and Guards type.
Last two mono-eyes we had was Sinanju and The O, and i think it's time for another one, don't you agree?

QUOTE(LagunaLoire @ Mar 7 2011, 09:34 AM) i'm no fan of gunpla clear ver...but HG Sinanju clear sparkle limited turns me on. Matches the sparkle red action base nicely too.
QUOTE(Guyver @ Mar 7 2011, 02:22 PM) I'll rather keep those so call clear edition un-touch if I really bought, cause you can sort of consider these clear edition as limited edition cause they only come out for a short period. Maybe in the future you can sell it with higher price. I'm not a big fan of clear edition Gunpla, cause I airbrush them and if I paint the clear part, it sort of lost it's meaning. Just my 2cent. That depends on what purpose you're buying it for. I've seen some Korean & Japanese modders use those clear parts creatively, and the effect turns out really nice. If you're just buying it for resale purposes, i don't think it's gonna fetch high prices. Many find clear kits ugly, especially on MGs.
QUOTE(lfcreds91 @ Mar 7 2011, 02:42 PM) did any of you try contacting gundam jp? i heard they sends back a replacement part......max 4 parts. If the parts and shipping are free, then it's all good. Otherwise, it'd be cheaper to buy another kit.
QUOTE(General_Nic @ Mar 7 2011, 03:22 PM) tempted to buy 2 sets of Rezel jz to b able to display both MS mode n Wave Rider mode at d same time, worth?  If you have the money (and space), i don't see why not. Grunt units always look better in groups of 2 or 3.

QUOTE(kumanosuke @ Mar 8 2011, 01:34 AM) guys, do you know where to find FUTURE acrylic floor finish or FUTURE ? Any acrylic-based floor/car polish or wax would do the same. Not necessarily it has to be Future, since it's quite scarce and the price ain't cheap either.

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Mar 14 2011, 10:39 PM) unexpected of me that MG ReZEL Commander Type has quite little parts for a MG  It's too skinny to have a lot of parts, like in the upper arms or the thighs. That's why i don't think we'll ever see an MG Overflag or Susanowo...

QUOTE(Ayam-man @ Mar 15 2011, 12:16 AM) btw why Bandai no relaese X-2 ?  Already got the mold wat?  MG Crossbone X-2? Popularity reasons.
QUOTE(shauno @ Mar 15 2011, 11:16 AM) unless your kit is a super limited edition/expo kit, i doubt prices will appreciate.. as for clear parts.. i think it just makes the kit look abit uglier.. except for maybe victory.. Whether it's ugly or not, it depends on what you do with it.

Although i agree with you that clear kits' prices won't rise much. A scalper buying clear kits isn't a very smart one.
QUOTE(csk3984 @ Mar 15 2011, 02:12 PM) sorry bro i means PG grade To me, the proportions of PG GP01/fb are way off. Only temptation is the hangar base.

QUOTE(Ayam-man @ Mar 15 2011, 07:22 PM) Hmm is those UV light harmful? Not really, unless exposed to it for long hours or frequently.
QUOTE(Silverfire @ Mar 15 2011, 07:33 PM) Clear coloured parts of gunplas tend to glow. For instance, 00 Raiser Clear Colour Ver.  Clear parts do not glow, unless it has been layered with UV reactive paint (fluorescent, neon, glow-in-the-dark) or treated with phosphorous.
QUOTE(Ayam-man @ Mar 15 2011, 07:59 PM) cellphone radiation and UV different ler bro...Hmm Same as in both are electromagnetic radiation. Different as in both have different wavelengths.

QUOTE(lucasng89 @ Mar 15 2011, 09:16 PM) Hi everyone, first time i post in here Please give me some suggestions in the unicorn model kit, which one better? Ver.ka or OVA ver? (i already did the survey on the comparison of both kit) QUOTE(Parody @ Feb 20 2011, 09:00 PM) I don't know how many times i've answered this question, so i'll keep it brief.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « From left to right: MG Unicorn Ver KA, MG Unicorn Ver KA Titanium Finish, MG Unicorn HD+Cage, MG Unicorn OVA.
1)Movements and flexibility (MG Unicorn HD+Cage = MG Unicorn OVA) > (MG Unicorn Ver KA = MG Unicorn Ver KA Titanium Finish)
2)Details of the model (MG Unicorn HD+Cage = MG Unicorn OVA) > (MG Unicorn Ver KA = MG Unicorn Ver KA Titanium Finish)
3)Much worth getting MG Unicorn Ver KA > MG Unicorn OVA > MG Unicorn HD+Cage > MG Unicorn Titanium Finish
Ver KA: comes with the elaborate decals worth almost RM20+. OVA: has the least value but the price justifies it. HD+Cage: Paying extra RM100 for the cage and the slightly glossy color which modellers are trying to get rid off? Nah... Titanium Finish: Paying extra RM120 for more gloss, weaker articulation, and less details than the HD+Cage? You gotta be kidding...
