MG's fingers? sup sup water ler. They are normal as in normal size anyway. smile.gif

RG's fingers like to pop, even holding saber beam also the thumb satu macam one.

NOTE: but I never own any ver 2.0 kit la. Maybe will grab the MKII ver 2.0 kit, or Zeta. But that's a low low priority thing. biggrin.gif

They call it the "peg". So next time you don't have to call it "something poke out" anymore. lol.

Now that you mention it. Yeah, the colour has no variations like RX-78 or Zaku. Luckily I don't want this RG Strike. thumbup.gif

for now just wanna have a look for one MS from each universe.. already got Astray & Strike from Seed, Zeta Plus from UC (correct me if I'm wrong) and Exia from 00.. haven't got any from Wing universe, but not really a big fan of the Gundam Wing itself laugh.gif

next? I dunno.. might be (but not limited to):
- one of them MG GMs, whichever looks the best (as in badass)
- MG RX-178 Mk. II
- MG RX-78 GP01a
- MG RX-0 Unicorn
- MG Force/Sword Impulse
- MG Qan[T]
- MG 00 Raiser

No love for Amuro's last mobile suit? lol

Both Nv and Hi Nv are pretty. After all, it was the first to get the Formania treatment rather than the grand daddy. thumbup.gif

Why don't you try re-color it? Just with Gundam Marker and decals also can make the different.

I've spent my whole afternoon doing the pre-assembly decal applying for those PITA dry transfers on my Strike.. manage to complete almost all of them, and also managed to screw up a few doh.gif

I think tomorrow gonna slowly start putting on the armor panels for my almost-naked Strike. how about a race to the finish? brows.gif

I think apply stickers is worse than dry transfer.

Any tricks on apply sticker so that wont accidentally stuck on the surface and had to pull out again, making the stickers all wrinkly and ugly?

This was how I apply it too, but most of the time sure mis-que one.

Dunno if I wet the sticky surface with water first, then align slowly on the part, can or not huh? hehe.

Remember to paint the piston silver colour to make it nicer, even though you can't see them. Like what I did to my CrossBone's feet pistons.

Anyway, talks about impressive MG's feet, nothing beats MG ARF/ABF. rclxms.gif

WZC was the sole reason why i got into GunPla. I don't really mind that they share the same frame because both Gundams are identical except for the backpack and the forearms. Besides, it's a good frame, so i'm not complaining.

rclxms.gif
Tomorrow, when i post my mini-review of MG DSH EW.  wink.gif
Not really disappointed with the colors, but rather the construction and sturdiness of the model. It's like a 4500yen HG!

That inner frame really that bad????

I got a limpy HG WGZC. Unable to stand on its own one. doh.gif

I'm only allowing myself to get the RG Aile Strike once it's released.. in the meantime I'll finish my Strike+IWSP (currently WISP) and Blue Frame 2nd Revise (untouched) before getting another MG nod.gif

btw, that's the fullcloth right? hmm.gif

Yup, that's the Full Cloth. Never liked the paperfabric cloth one. blush.gif

My MG ARF is on hiatus for 2 weeks already. No mood to do, busy with working stuff. *sigh*

So just drop in here to sibuk Gunpla stuffs instead. lol.

MG Xbone FC is a rather bad kit. Putting heavy armors and weapons on a small-sized MG with a weak frame is a bad idea.
Ver Ka would be a better choice.

I like it cause it looks nice... and you are right. It's pretty much not playable/pose-able. Unless you remove the armour pieces first.

But the boxer glove skulls really nice. thumbup.gif

Don't get the ver Ka one. Get the OVA version if you don't want to spend extra on the cage.

Slightly better articulation than the ver Ka one, and no PITA stickers to deal with. biggrin.gif

Do NOT even attempt to try this. The cloak is not long enough to connect and if you can, you're exerting unnecessary pressure on the red claws and it will break. Trust me. Best to just leave it folded to the front.

Even box art portrait or landscape also takes into consideration. rclxms.gif

BTW, did you forget to collapse the rear joints of the wing before attempting to hook the front?

The fingers on my RG RX-78 was a PITA. 1 of the thumbs dropped onto the floor b4 I put it back into the display shelf. My mum spotted it and put it back into the shelf. I was rushing back here, so didn't realise the finger was off.

Luckily it's back in 1 piece, if not... T_T

lucky both of my RG's finger still fine...how come your fingers can drop off? if mine one drop off then had to use ugly glu-tack to make it stick on it  sweat.gif
*
Cause I die die let it hold the beam saber. You know the thumb is in awkward position when you stick the beam saber into the hand, right?

How do you use glu-tack? That area so small, does it really help? I wonder if I use some Selley's glue and put some into the hold will help make it tighter or not. Just afraid later the ball can't get into the hold, even worse.

Nope, didn't forget. If you see Dalong's review, he is also experiencing the same problem. He placed the cloak very close to each other without hooking the claws together. It does hook up if you try your best, but i ain't gonna leave that overnight and see it broken in the next morning.

Hmm... that's odd.

Check out either of these videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_USiCx59myA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ELzCZZI-E

He does have difficulty hooking it at first, but later realised he didn't collapse the rear part of the wing. And he managed to slide it in quite easily. If both the video don't have it, maybe you can check for his earlier video, which he tried on his unpainted kit first.

Agree. It look like magnified MG, with more detail frame only.

So disappointed with the Wing. sad.gif Its difficult part to build, with spring and mechanical thingy, also the Wiring and LED at the chest and eye, hassle to work with.
*
I think PG WGZC is better displayed with part of the armours off. The inner frame was quite detailed and plenty of chrome pistons to show off. Otherwise, there don't seem to have much details/panel lining grooves on the armour.

Strictly for fan of angel winged Gundam only, such as me. thumbup.gif

A good, extensive, detail and worth reading from the start. I agree that the cloak provides the menacing look but its too big for me. Yes, I just realised the differences in proportions but I think the Shen Long proportion looks great compared to DSH & Epyon rite? Anybody bought this guy yet? BTW it has the same price as old DS in Jusco! cool2.gif

So guys new topic, just curious...what is the best looking core fighter in the world of gundam? I just finished snap fitting and panel lining my mg GP03S core fighter (only) and in terms of appearance its kinda look like F16 jet fighter which is very realistic, good proportion and nice to see compared to others especially the famous RX-78  hmm.gif
*
IMHO, Victory Gundam's core fighter looked the nicest. smile.gif

come to think of it, it's not really that bad since it'll barely cost you 100 bucks. given that no impulse buys are included laugh.gif

but I'm not sure myself how would it be for the RG Aile Strike. since it has extra parts (as in the Aile Striker Pack) compared to the RG RX-78 & RG Zaku, would it exceed the RM100 line? hmm.gif

Impulse buy also won't cost much. Only 2 units in the market now. RM200 still got spare change to buy marker. lol
