and I forgot to mention spray booth coz you don't want to inhale what you are spraying...
you could make one with some box and hose and fan as many others have done... or do outside provided you have access to the power outlet... and finally don't forget to clean up your air brush every time you use unless you think forking out for new air brush every time you need isn't such inconvenience... |

does anyone know if its possible to get the launch platform alone? This platform comes with the MK-II AEUG version 2. I want the platform only...
 Otherwise have to buy the MG just to get the platform  This post has been edited by young_soul: Mar 31 2006, 11:42 AM |

And yet you have no problems spending RM80+++ on silly overcharged plastic model kits. |

QUOTE(YenS @ Mar 30 2006, 08:52 PM) true true..but i like the pointiness.rofl! plus all the transformation stages. There's a chinese book that shows you how to make a model step by step and if I'm not mistaken all the demo is demostrated by Max Watanabe. I can't remember the name but I got the book, try to tell you by tomorrow.on the other hand, it seems like justice's colors looks more lively than aegis. in seed he was main actor also ma...like co-main actor.  im looking forward to IJ! but the unpainted one from the earlier posts looks WAYYY better than the 1/100 just now. i got a question: Where can i refer to for gundam modelling tips n guides? im really noob at it, and i almost ruined my force impulse. so is there any website that i can go to? |

Can someone explain to me on the difference between HG & HGUC?
It seems like HGUC have better details n looks nicer VS HG and the Gundam in HGUC r more unique (seems like they hv their own series). |

QUOTE(kingkong81 @ Mar 31 2006, 09:33 PM) Can someone explain to me on the difference between HG & HGUC? 1/144 HGUC = High Grade Universal Century, units from Universal Century (Gundam, Z, ZZ, CCA, F91, V, 0080, 0083 etc) would be made into model kits under this label. It seems like HGUC have better details n looks nicer VS HG and the Gundam in HGUC r more unique (seems like they hv their own series). HGUC is better than HG kits in most departments, ie: HGUC kits has hands that are moulded for better poses, where they don't have the same universal clenched fist, with a square hole in the middle of it, to hold beam sabre hilts, or HGUC kits can bend their arms 180', something that IIRC, none of the HG kit is capable of. |
