Heh heh, utilize the holes on the top of the CRT case, eh?

I did once make a stand out of a black-painted, well-bent metal coat hanger for my EVA-01, cause I'm able to replicate the umbilical cord (power supply cable) of the EVA, hooked it onto its back and made it look like it jumped up, suspended in mid-air.

Don't know where that stand is now, must've gone missing in transition to my current residence; that's why I hate moving house, got a lot of my stuff to move... shakehead.gif

Get an MG Freedom. Not 1/100 Destiny just yet. Not really worth it. Try waiting and pray that Bandai's gonna relases an MG version of it soon.

If you don't mind spending loads of money on a silly pair of "modelling cutter" that supposedly cleanly cuts off the parts from their trees, you could opt for the cheapo method I use, involving water, fingernails and pen-knives. Cutting off excess plastic tree the cheap way

Dude, trust us on that...when u get a Master Grade, u just keep wanting to get just them. Normal grade ar...aww man...how to explain it to you...plain down to earth la...the name already state liao lor. Master grade has better quality in terms of fitting and better details, normal grade ...? Do i have to explain on that ?

No point buying a kit tat will give u a hard time later...i'm sure u do not want ur kit to look like jello right ? Price is a difference...yar...higher too but good things dun come cheap...and cheap things dun come good. Well a normal grade may cost about RM90-110 and an MG will be ranging about 180-225 like that but its worth every penny u put in it.


And er shumaky...its side cutters...u need different sizes to fit different size openings. And uneed a very very sharp knife to cut off the excess sprues...u can find them from art shops. A bit pricey la. And if u r even more serious, u can get some polyester putty from tamiya to fill up any accidental hole u cut off when u use ur knife or cutters...after that sand it down with sandpapers...NOTE : SPECIAL SAND PAPERS AND NOT THE ONES FROM HARDWARE SHOP... tat one too rough...u may buy a 1/100 Mg kit but after u sand u may end up with a 1/144 HGUC kit laugh.gif

It exactly as Balthasar said. Maybe coz my 1st model was an MG so i found that HG/NG just not worth it.

But the choice selection isn't that many for MG kits compared to HG stuffs.

And besides, recent HGUC kits are getting better, what with specially made hands for better poses (no more stupid looking clenched fist with a square hole in the middle) and better details and posabilities.
