QUOTE(Harddisk @ Jan 19 2012, 08:23 AM) I saw the photos and replied before you claimed they are not yours. Oh what the heck, I lazy to edit. You should have stated it on your first post.  nvm. no harm done. just a little miscommunication there  let's get back to the Delta Plus shall we? speaking of which, Delta Plus have a very weak pair of feet (just the feet. ankles, knees and hips are okay). need to really balance it out to make it stand upright, since the weak feet are unable to support the weight if it's leaning a little bit to the front

mehh.. any problems with balance while standing can easily be resolved using a stand. besides, kits like zeta, delta plus all look better when on stand anyways..

yesterday went to local bookstore & got a copy of Model Kit World mag which comes with a 1/144 Sinanju Bazooka upgrade kit.. pretty nifty for rm10~ p.s: assembling it was pretty confusing tho'..

minor sanding without any cement won't do harm to the surface right? BTW, anyone's MG quality started to turn fragile? Mine does  Broken V pin for Freedom ...

Mind to tell us which bookstore and where did you get it man...very cheap indeed QUOTE(ahhann @ Jan 19 2012, 09:36 AM) minor sanding without any cement won't do harm to the surface right? BTW, anyone's MG quality started to turn fragile? Mine does  Broken V pin for Freedom ... Has to be extra careful to avoid any scratches...afraid to do so on original MGs unless u r not a straight builder...pointy thin stick out parts tend to break easily with a bit of excessive force obviously

Mine does  Broken V pin for Freedom ... wet sanding (is that the term? where u use bit of water for sanding) will b better. not all MGs are fragile. but some have very thin n small parts. just need to b extra careful

Mine does  Broken V pin for Freedom ... by nature, sandpaper is abrasive, which would mean it will harm the surface. only thing is how deep the scratches are.. higher grit will result in more shallow scratches. besides, if you cement, there will be one rather ugly line of melted plastic which needs a lil effort to remove anyways..
