I tried with a cutting knife yesterday, but it's too hard! As it is, the 1/144 scale head is too small, so imagine the width of that streak. I think it's less than a milimeter. sweat.gif

I gave up after a few tries. It's too darned small! Even if i managed to cut it out, the transfer of the sticker to the face is another headache. >_>

Same happened to the tiny head sensor for the Advanced Hazel. I just approximately cut out a tiny rectangle, then stuffed it in using a blunt, thin edge of my used pen knife blade. The tiny excess sticker is cut using the sharp sharp tip of the new pen knife blade. The end result was rather superior.

Too darned small? I'm even moar amazed with a Hazel airbrush guide featured on an issue of Dengeki Hobby, where the guy used airbrush to color everything, including the neon green eyes (mad masking techniques FTW!) D:

It might work on narrow grooves, but there are also wider grooves which are too wide for hobby knife to evenly cut them huh.gif

I'm sure there is a special knife that for this particular job

Are you sure that this is a Perfect Grade??? According to my source, it's just a Big Scale which Bandai promise that it will be a NEAR Perfect Grade model. BTW how much is the PG Strike??

NOT Perfect Grade. Just a full blown 1/60 scaled kit with better proportions compared to the 1/100 kit.

Cool~!!! Can't wait to see it. drool.gif

But even i promote it, I doubt there will be many potential buyer from here. consider the price and u need a MG Freedom also. Best bet is wait for MG release.

conversion = convert a model kit into a different one
the SF conversion set is a set of parts made of resin for SF to be fitted on the MG Freedom Gundam frame...so u'll need to buy both an MG Freedom & SF conversion parts by CORE-WOrKS...but just to let u know that only little of the MG Freedom parts is used so u'll have A LOT of wasted parts...unless ur planning to use the parts on modding other kits later smile.gif

edit: btw StormV, im probably gonna get Bandai's version if they ever release one as well...gonna collect both as im very sure they'll have a lot of difference between the 2 kits biggrin.gif
