hi all, new gundam model fan here. total newbie. haha. trying to assemble my first gundam.... i think my mistake to start from MG straight away ....and strike freedom lagi...my fav. =_= now is a bit disastrous (posted for help in a thread here).

but still, a nice hobby.

also bought impulse sword...but still in box. better 'fix' my strike freedom first.

actually my friend migrating...so he half assembled the SF burst mode, and sold me for RM85. i thought its a good place to start so i bought fr him stil...a bit painful to see my fav gundam got 'tarnished' by my lousy skill.

i not gonna paint it. my issue is posted here

rihuhs...that sword impulse looks nice

yea, i also love sword impulse...just love swords. so hopefully can faster finish (and fix) my SF and start on the impulse

wah, i used to b artistic n good at painting...but on papers. hahaha. don dare to risk on precious gundam just yet since i'm a pure beginner.

but yeah, will b nice if sword impulse is in black...heck, even making the sword black might look cool

...but not for me...don dare don dare =_=

mmm a bit too colorful leh if orange, why not get kyrios

u all paint is using spray or airbrush right ?

ya wor...i bought one HG for my retired dad (SHOCK LEHHH). actually he bought the MG Sword Impulse after i saw the review very good. opened box...he looked stunned. "why so complicated 1". so i bought a HG 7 sword for him...rm58 in PJ, not bad price. at least let him play play.

i'm beginner, he lagi beginner

yea, i have a cool dad. hahahaha.

actually when u said complicated...are u referring to the paint part? i don find assembling difficult. i just need to know how to manage those nibs and polish them. and possibly need to learn how to use cement or something to 'glue' those gap.

that's all i guess.

painting is a different story



DSLR..? i got my whole set of DSLR n lens from my dad. he's been a photographer for 40+ years. but i compensated by buying him Canon 7d (which caused me to eat grass for 1 year)

true la...but i bought it for rm85.... and i started without knowing there's HG version. that's how noob i am. :|

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?

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

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 =_=

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 $$$$

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

oooo painful wei like that. but never mind, toys are toys. gf more important. don make her feel sad (provided she does feel sad) coz of breaking ur toy accidentally.

well, and u can always buy a new one and do it properly

ok, it's highly advanced toys for sophisticated people who know how to appreciate them.

fuh, sounds complicated.

but seriously........it's a really addictive and good looking 'toy' see...i keep coming back here even though i m supposed to work.

gundam 00 seven swords MG coming out soon......... =_= nvm, i shall b content with HG even though it's for my dad. LOL.

MG 00 Raiser is a whooping RM 240+ the last i saw. :| cannot la, over budget wei. have to wait for it to drop a bit first

my nxt MG after my (er...sorry, my dad's) sword impulse should be the cheaper Exia MG, or Infinite Justice

00 raiser only 205? o_o where u get that price? the e-curve shop selling 240+ i think.

Exia MG is nice and affordable. Ignition mode too expensive. Thought of 00 Quant but..er....donno leh... maybe i should just start with cheaper Exia.

IJ also not bad ah but my fav still SF la

eh, why got 15% discount? need member? i actually lazy to go times sq...so far.......but after seeing the price, RM 30-40 difference....i think might be worth it. LOL.

i think...i wont check this thread and continue to poison myself. gosh.

ic ic...i should drop by Times Square then once I've settled my current MGs

maybe will buy few for my melbourne fren as well. Gundams are pricey there
