2000+ yen doesn't buy you a MG anymore. MG thesedays costs 3k~4k+ yen. Unless they're smaller units like The Ball.

for that price, it's even more expensive than my destiny and blue frame... and i believe it doesn't have more parts than the two mentioned. So what's the reason for jacking up the price? and to think that iwith this kind of price the proportions are still out

meanwhile.... the nightmare is true... OMG... they've ruined the series and now they plan to ruin the 1/100 line as well??

The IJ 1/100 proportion sure look slightly out, especially the legs r too thin. But it still looks nice enuf. Well, if they did not plan to came out wif MG version, v dun hv much choice oso...

it may sound obvious, but try pushing in the arms all the way.
if cannot, make sure its the correct polycap inside the upper arm.
if its the correct polycap, you can trim the insides of the polycap a bit using knife/file or whatever

Is it really THAT HARD to buy a model kit that you like the most?

The 1/144 SEED line are made of meh and mediocre. They're all the same, with the same kind of quality, never heard of any complaints about loose parts and whatnot.


The GSD 1/100 line was already ruined from the start, what with the uninteresting lineup (Bandai: WHOAMG WE HAVE 4 EXCITING ZAKU UNITS THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING ONLY WITH DIFFERENT COLORED TREES!), and the lack of kits for superior designed units like the Windam and Blast Impulse.

Yeah exactly, I've always wondered why they never produced kits for the Blast Impulse and Windam. Those were some sweet designs there.

I also wished that they would produce the Astray with the Flight Pack. Imagine that in MG or PG.

okay, i almost made up my mind already. but just one last question:
does the Blitz look nice after fixing it up? bcos im afraid that it might not turn out like the box shows...ive seen that happen on justice n strike freedom. so i hope the Blitz is okay...is it?

I've heard that the Blitz is a much sought after kit, although I'm not sure about the quality though.

haha, then i guess Blitz cant be wrong. Its black, its unique and has got cool weapons. The problem is the pilot's a faggot.

ah anyway, i think Blitz it is then.

Oops, I mistake Blitz for the Duel. Gomen...it's the Duel that's popular. I dunno about the Blitz.

Maybe you can try searching for pictures online and then decide for yourself?

see here

moar here

Does anyone here know how 2 make a diorama like a building
or something similar like dat?!

if you are doing the diorama in 1/144 scale you can use N scale railway scenic model kits. They make variety of buildings, figures, cars and etc.

For 1/100 scale try TT scale and if you cannot find HO scale would do.

N scale is 1/166 but close enough to 1/144 and TT is 1/100 though it's harder to find (try Architecture supply shop) than HO which is 1/86.

one issue is as these kits generally tend to cost arm and leg.
wait till your railway model shop is having sales day to stock up.

Of coz you could make the building full scratch using plastic plates or hardrock.
Or even thick gauge paper

omg..lucky for that link. i was gonna buy the aegis, until i saw the pictures. damn, it looks a lil retarded... haih, now i duno wat to choose..

I think it is bcoz of the transformation that makes it look bulky or rather retarded as u mentioned it. Saw Blitz in shopping complex recently, i think it looks cool, at least dun really looks disproportion...
