[rant]
Ur right, this forum has changed a lot from a long time ago when I was here...I remember back then arguing with Starghazzer over the looks of Delta Plus vs Delta Gundam...haha. This is a modelling thread though, so I should think that ppl are allowed to post their WIPs and completed models etc. What else would we talk about? Technically talking about Gundam series etc would be inaccurate because this isn't an anime thread, it's a modelling thread. But I don't believe in that, I believe we should be able to talk about anything Gundam related. So I suggest everyone lower their tolerance over what can be posted and what cannot be posted (asides useless spam)
[/rant]

Now that I'm done ranting...what other ms would you guys like to see get the MG treatment? (Or in some cases, the MG 2.0 treatment)

yep, in English, and the officer who deal with me name Hana, I wonder how she looks like... (and our email conversations goes up to 41++ coz many things ping pong back and forth)

added to that, stop some sour grape ppl from nonstop criticizing others from buying/liking certain model which they don't like (or can't affort). Such behaviour really kill other's interest on gunpla.
(purposely separated this post so everybody can read)

anyway... 'thanks' to my evil friend from cheras, now I'm terribly poisoned by this:

anybody has the MG 00 Raiser and the Metal Build 007S? got any diffrence in proportions, and design?

We used to do it at the WIP and Mecha Modelling Gallery Thread.

[Off Topic] Also, does implying that people criticise something because they cannot afford it really make you feel better? I am rich therefore I am better syndrome? Honestly I would believe that the majority of the peeps here have quite a fair bit of loose change, gunpla is a hobby afterall.

I wager that someone stepped on your toes when you got the PG SF? That kit really got mixed reactions - some love it, some hate it. Like most things associated with Gundam Seed. Strange.

But you like it don't you? Shouldn't that be all that matters? Maybe getting along isn't so easy after all.

at least the so-called "sour-grape" have reasons to criticize the models.
and criticizing is subjective. it can be constructive if u look at it from another angle.
after all it's still your choice if u like that kit, if u still want to buy it despite its (discussed) flaws, then by all means.. go for it.
(i have one kit i wanted, been discussed in past few threads of it's flaw, that hindered me abit from getting it. but if i have time for it i'll still get the kit and try experience building it myself, coz i liked the kit. where's the killing of interest?)

not gonna impose some stupid ruling that all opinion be marked with "sorry if might be too harsh here, it's just my 2cents", are we? chill abit, dude.

and IMHO, repeated posts are really kinda annoying (even more those not related to gunpla), it'll be helpful if u just post the completed kit here, review it if u want, don't posts WIPs as those are repetetive in a way. for me it doesn't really matter if it comes to the skills, as we're reviewing the kits itself.

SEED series seriously need some grunt units MG, though the only grunt worthy to be made into MG is Blaze Zaku Phantom
n Bandai need to stop its unfair treatment for 00 units, other unit other than Setsuna's ride need MG treatment too

Now that really sounds as if my Blue Frame is a lemon

Not arguing lah... "arguing" makes it sound hostile.
It's more voicing out our personal preferences for different units.

No problems with posting WIP pics, in fact I can even tahan photos of whoever's latest haul. It's the random chit chat eg talking about so and so's avatar pictures and stuff that's annoying. But as said before, I really don't care. Tutup satu mata...

MG CGUE.
Gatling.
Win.

Haha...call it soft arguing/discussing la...lolz...the hauls and WIPs I don't mind either, I get that there is probably a separate thread to do that as madmoz mentioned but I can still tolerate that stuff. But you're right (and madmoz too), the random one line posts and comments etc is kinda off-putting

Correction to my point 2...

2. The torso/waist joint have no problem as they are connected with a peg instead of ball joints short ball joints that acted more like a peg so no much effect. Is just that the common flaw for SEED related mecha is that they have huge backpack and sometime is too back-heavy, being it NG or MG.

the shoulder's gimmick look good.. kinda reminded me with Strike gundam

this is nice...
evenmore the knee armor is seperated with lower leg armor....


cant wait for the MG origin...

The GFF looks great! I would look forward for the MG

Is there any reason for the shoulders to open up? Maintenance? Or to make the model look cool?

Been wondering if gunpla is moving away from sensibility to a purely 'makes the model kit look good' - i.e. we are not building model kits of robots, but instead watching shows of model kits turned into anime.

A good case in point would be DW:G3 that i mentioned before. If you look properly, the gundams there even have that horizontal bit under their skirt where we attach the leg pegs!

So, are you saying the equivalent of RX-78 in PG form with opening panels is just for show?

but PG RX-78 shoulder armors opens in a different way.



PG's more towards maintenance orientated, i.e. outer armor separates from inner frame. Whereas the one nazrul posted is more like Strike's shoulder armor (of which opened to fit with parts from launcher and sword).

just started using gundam marker for panel line, is there any efficient way of removing all of em in 1 part eg legs.
currently im using an eraser but takes quite some time and some place cant reach using it.
soak the part in warm water and wipe it off can a?

ah... I don't know why it provokes u... what I said earlier is totally nothing to do with you...

anyway, this is why I still bought the kit, build it with all my heart and happily finish it. You should really see how the [SG] ppl non stop implying buyer of PG-SF are stupid, careless in many pages, and find every single opportunity to poke fun of it.

And since you guys discuss abt what shld be posted and what shouldn't, hence I take this opportunity to raise up this point. (Previously all I did is ignore that person's arrogant, rude posts and continue build my beloved gunpla) Hope this thread can be a more friendly environment.

haha bro, yeah, if a design of a model kit is bad or so, it's aaaalways ok to point it out for everybody's reference. (like me , hard hard also go buy mwahahaha) But nonstop criticizing it and it's buyer are definitely not a welcomed action.

Added on July 18, 2011, 11:49 ameh, can somebody tell me what's the metal build 007s price in KL? I'm comparing KL and S'g price. (too much poison already!)

Speaking about Metal Builds, those don't require any assembly right? Saw the cost of one 00 7 Sword at BTS, was around RM200++ RM400 iirc..was thinking, wtf so expensive..it's just a metal version of the upcoming MG, just heavier due to all metal and fully decal-ed?

EDIT: price updated to prevent further shock

that too cheap

anyway i noticed a bit similarity between Epyon and DeathScythe Hell artbox
