MG Strike came out in 2003 iinm so if the newly released RG isn't better overall, Bandai would be in serious trouble.

I still prefer the proportions of the MG though, and 1/144 scale is too tiny for my tastes.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1167507/+280 Is the WIP thread. Awesome work in there too nowadays. The WIP thread was opened for precisely that reason, and here at LYN we aren't Zero G, semua work also boleh

Also, love the lists in the first post. Honestly, I do not think that there is any need for a major revamp, just need everyone to realise that spamming to get to 2500 and a new thread is ridiculous so let's post only what is necessary, no?

Is it really that hard? not necessary = don't post. Things were always nicely paced in the older threads.

just keep the /k/ mentality out and things should be fine.

Are we really flaming anyone for no reason?

Ok, best practise comparison = hot toys thread? very picture heavy but informative as well. Ours is picture and word heavy but resembles a blog more than a discussion forum

If you guys really want this to be an extension of the /k/ subforum, then so be it. Sigh.
Won't mention anything anymore cause as usual, the majority wins.

GGInfinite a.k.a. gundam guy ships from the US, so might not exactly be cost efficient. Might be cheaper to befriend gaijin online and eventually see if he's willing to tumpang. most of them hang around gundam australia forum and are very helpful.

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.

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!

got that koto saber today too, but not gonna assemble for a while.

mini review -

the good:
1) proportions look better than the nendroid super movable version.
2) comes with two swords if i'm not mistaken - the normal one and the transparent one she uses at the beginning of the anime
3) MYR110 is cheap.

the bad:
1) Silver colour is rather dull.
2) Yellow hair is even worse.
3) Prepainted, but needs repainting to look good imho.

That cosplay is awesome... and probably very hot to wear!
