hi guys,

i'm really interested to build a mecha myself.
if i buy an MG kit,
does it requires paint jobs?
if it does, how much painting jobs that will it requires?
and how much do u think i'm gonna spend for the paint/marker?

Thanks for answering my questions..
Hopefully will be able to join u guys soon..

hey there
if u browse around www.hlj.com u will see each model has a specs indicated whether painting is mandatory and skill level required. For starters, most MG doesn't need painting. Of course u need to enjoy the process of model making so grab yourself some panel markers and touch up the kit yourself. Most people paint job on their PG which is really cool if properly done but for starters, an MG will non-painted is good enough. It won't hurt to paint later when you learn more details and technique with each new kit

thanks for the tip.. really appreciate it..

GSD models was a flop becoz the series was shit. Not forgeting how horrible the proportions for the newer models (both 1/100 and 1/144) were, especially the SF and the upcoming IJ. And who could have tolerated the endless versions of ZAKUs?

As for the debate between 1/100 and 1/144, I'd still go for 1/100. 1/144 is simply too small, and lacks adequate detail. Well, there are 1/100s which like someone mentioned, are just smooth plates with panel lines around the margin; 1/144 has the same problem. But 1/144 is simply too small for my liking, personal preference i suppose.

meanwhile, from the lineart it seems that the design of 1/100 IJ is slightly similar to Astray Outframe's style. Note the large torso and the slim long legs. And well, well, they had intended to make the flightpack's cannon large as hell, which is clearly not the design in the anime.
I still think it's ugly.

not really...it doesn't belong to Freedom. Maybe only the tip of the gun...but if you look at dalong.net's Freedom MG, it isn't even the same. I have the Freedom MG here and I can see the difference...that one is purely custom made

btw...long ago can "swive" the weapon to the back ler but that's when he puts his two rifles on the waist.

what? Its out?

Man, it must be magic to see those alloy-dehydrated legs being able to support that HUEG backpack of his (in anime and model both... )

I-J's only seen used in space anyway, so that point's moot.

Guess what I found on June's Dengeki Hobby Magazine?



Oh god no! It looks hideously out of proportion! Legs are too thin, shield too large, torso too wide, the canon barrels for the backpack are too thick, gun too comically long and thin, and there's an odd spacing on the front skirt armor... D:

when is ur next bulk

hey guy, i m new to this thread n new to gundam modeling kits.i want to noe where do u guys get a cheap but good air brush with a compressor?

plus where do u guys usually get u paints n markers from?

some of you may remember my PG AEUG Mk-II with heavy shadow...
well I finally repainted it in Titanz colour and tried the washing using the light grey for the panel line. Well with dark blue colour you cannot use the black line and easiest way to achieve the panel lining is by using the washing with light grey. Before washing I basically pull apart everything and spray inside and out while some parts I stripped the painting or what little they have. and I salvage some parts off mate's junk PG Mk-II Titanz kit to make up couple of parts I broke or gotten too weak after stripping

well enough word, here are the pictures of three modules ready for assembly...
Except that I broke one of pin at the waste so till it's cured I could not put it back together...

Torso
Legs
Backpack

Shield and beam rifle are the next.
As I using the old kit I didn't bother to fix the seam line issue with rifle though next time I build PG Mk-II I definately going to do proper job plus full inner metal fram painting...

Heheh... I was there, but didn't exhibit my model there.... mine are just snapped fixed with panel lines, how to compete with air brushed kits?

Anyway... mad promotion there.... MG freedom selling for RM 128, even my blue frame was RM 95 there walaneh.... too bad i don't really like freedom

The models exhibited there were superb, especially the MKII Titans... I would have bought one if not for the deterring price, I simply cannot afford RM 200+ on plastic now. There's also a C1 Plus there which was shadowed.... superb stuff. One thing I noticed is how puny in size 1/144 Seed kits compared to HGUC...

RM128!! Wah...even if you dont like it, you should've bought it, then sold it off to someone for a profit lol.

That's what I'd do. HEH HEH HEH.

Anyways, got pictures of the event?

aiya...missed it... how come on short notice?

promotion how long? wanna get a MG Strike Rouge/Strike... finishing up on my MG Freedom.

|||

sell to who?? MG Freedom is now available around RM 155.... say I sell it at RM 150 so my profit would only be RM 22 per unit.... Unless I sell 10 of them otherwise it's not worth the trouble I don't have enough money to buy 10 Freedoms at once too

Didn't take pictures though.... it's only a very small scale exhibition, in fact I'd say it's more like a sales promotion. But the prices are Not sure whether Aunty Lenny is still selling at those low prices now after the competition, which I doubt.

Anyway, Fantasy Toys in Lowyat Plaza is selling some models at low prices (comparable to Aunty Lenny's shop before the competition that is)... Most GSD 1/100 going for RM95, older MGs around Rm 130-160... Well, it's not THAT cheap anyway, but hey, Fantasy Toys never sell things cheap till now.
