OT


#1 my first kit. NG 1/100 aile strike, cut snap lining roughly. aile pack connector broken, use glu tack stick it for now
#2 (unofficial) lil bro's HG 1/144 Aegis, cut snap lining roughly, broken left leg. but for transformable gunpla it is impressive for that. just dont have beam saber.
#3 my 2nd kit. NG 1/100 Freedom, cut snap lining and get broken the wing connector by friend, then he give me new spare part.
#4 (unofficial) lil bro's NG 1/144 Blitz, cut snap only. since blitz is black so lining in black colour is useless XD
#5 my first MG kit, RX-78-4, cut snap lining, and using liquid paper paint some area into white...on that beam canon.
#6 (unofficial) my bro first MG kit, RX-78-5, i was wanted that kit but my brother chosen so haih....

- stop for period until RG announced-

#7 first RG kit, rx-78-2, cut snap lining and erase unwanted line.... photography it with ipad ipod touch bla bla. later on purchase tamiya chrome marker and paint paint. accident snap left leg armor because wanted remove and paint some inner frame (use glu tack stick on it, working XD)
#8 RG zaku II, nothing to say
#9 RG aile strike, still havent finish stick sticker in OFFICE (the only one gunpla i assemble in office )

hahaha. i'm bit old to start with gundam modeling. always wanted to get but expensive. so my friend's decision to sell me his half assembled strike freedom burst mode for RM 85 somehow started my self-poisoning session.

i plan to paint later...once i m more steady. hahaha. i also intend to just panel line and touch up...clear the nubs.

my plan - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry43569310

top coat got help ka?

Y everyone is in gunpla builds history revision mode?

wah. 1st time straight away with MG Unicorn

a friend of mine broke it too. later on he just used the fixed V-fin

'a bit' old? how old?

top coat will help your kit to preserve all the detailing such panel lines and decals.. and if done with a flat type, it'll give that non-plasticky look.. but I haven't been to the level of top coating my kits yet. so far satisfied with just snap fitting and panel lining

it seems like everyone also broke some part of their gunpla

gunpura is complicated and fragile stuff

agree..hehehhe
me also....broke the ankle armor of the strike...that thing is annoying...huhuhu

wa...u all don scare me like that. i will cry if i break my first MG SF

armor hard to stick back if broke into 2 pieces

meh, i broke that part too
already fix it with cement

SF seem easy to broke at wing part
be careful then

Heine Westenfluss does seem to be a Bandai favourite. Like you mentioned, he only showed up in the anime for like a few episodes but has a disproportionate amount of kits released, and now a 'limited edition' somemore.

Added on July 4, 2011, 9:32 amdon't worry too much. If you are careful, breaks are rare.

Just be cautious when disassembling, trim the pins a bit if you think you're gonna be taking the parts apart again later.

gunplas are delicate mang. despite of its menacing looks

btw, broke my MG Strike+IWSP's ankle armor after it fell down when I'm attempting to do some on-its-own-feet standing pose. didn't last even half an hour. just wanna test the limit of the back-heaviness, and then decided it's only meant for on-display-base-only

also, broke the hook for one of the tail fins of the Core Splendor for my MG Sword Impulse. put it in, and tried to take it out back for a forgotten reason

not scaring lah. just a reminder to be careful

we scare becoz we care

it's too late for me to trim.... and i don intend to take it apart coz i can feel it's fragile if u try to disassemble. so i gonna do a challenging thing - panel lining and polishing when the gundam is already built =_=

Yup, i use superglue...sand it first,make sure 2parts is flat when combine...hehehe
Btw my sf wing can't auto expand anymore...huhuhu

Yup,mybe he's a faith member...but still BLAZE zaku phantom needs a MG treatment huhuhu

that thing is damn fragile. the connector for the two pieces is very small one. RG Strike's ankle armor are A LOT better

one thing about RG stike...the v fin is very easy to drop XD

this thread is addictive. i better stop n focus on my work else i might lose my job catch up again tonite

will go midvalley n hunt for tamiya polish compound, a paint brush for brushing the dust, and possibly high grit sandpaper in ACE. :| more $$$$

tonight will be new version liao lor

noticed that even before completed assembly. glued it together right away. problemo solved

meh. I opened the thread at work all the time

if you're looking for sandpapers for finishing job, look for 1000 @ 1200 grade ones

yea..i'm back. kena poisoned. =_=

yea, plan to get 1000 or 1200. donno if ACE sells it. don tell me whole Midvalley cannot find. hahaha.

how u all close the gap for some parts. glue? o_o

you can use glue, or better with a plastic cement. but that's for discussion in another thread
