Haha...all the tradegies huh.. Well, i oso hv 1.

While building my Wing Zero Custom (My 1st MG!! , so u can imagine all the excitement ), i accidentally broken the red fin on the arm

That time like my heart kena cut by my hobby knife 100X! I almost untill my pillow is totally wet. Then decided to glue it back using the famous UHU gam. Luckily it looks ok...happy again

Gundam OYW has by far the most poseable frame even compared to latest MG Mk-II ver 2.0...
Also the nature of RX-78-2 armour makes the frame retain its high mobility even after the armours are put on unlike other models where once you put on the armour they restrict the movement of frame in big margin

Of coz OYW has its limitation as well - one being the use of the same leg frame from RX-78-2 Ver 1.5 kit. Sure the leg frame is amazing in terms of engineering but you still cannot turn the both legs with toe to toe as there is no joint in the upper leg where it goes to the pelvic joint. Sure you can mod an put the extra joint there but it's a lot of work mind you

And do achieve the high waist movement Bandai ditched the corefighter/coreblock and opted for the simple ball joint. While it's great in terms of mobility I still think they could've achieve the similar movement while still retaining the corefighter.

My oppinon on the OYW RX-78 is anytime better than my Zeta. I'm still disappointed with it. The OYW has lotsa details and joints fit in tightly...if u tilt it horizontally, the legs wont wobble....at all unlike the 178 and zeta V2. which has some fitting problems.

And I thought I was the most careless one around when making gundams... it seems most of us here had bad experiences for making errors...

I accidentally fixed the neck of my Destiny facing backwards Spent 10 minutes prying open the entire upper torso just to fix that part... But the worst mistakes were when I was making my Blue Frame. That kit had too many small parts which are extremely fragile. I broke the orange peg on the left leg which held the army knife, and ended up using super glue to stick it back...

And also the error when making the giant backpack, where I fixed the rotating joints on the wrong side, so that the blades won't join together to form the sword.

Never do gundams when you're sleepy......ZZZZZZZzzzzZZzzzZZZ

meanwhile.... HG 1/144 Strike Noir...hm..... still not liking the look of it

Yep, modelmaking is prohibited when suffering from sleep deprivation. Vote has been cast . But other mishap-generating factors like impatience and lack of attention also contribute to the suffering of our hard-earned GunPla. Speed-assembling a GunPla will always raise some problems upon completion, e.g. pieces with large gaps between connecting ends (wth?), bent/snapped fragile parts (omg!), strangely loose body joints (wtf?), lost vital polycaps (ack!), etc; slipshod mistakes that'll turn your quality Bandai GunPla into a BenDi-grade equivalent... the horror...

About the Strike Noir, hmm... moar hueg backpacks... although I have to admit that designwise, it seems to incorporate some decent multifunctionality, rather than the ginormous yet monopurpose gear that's lugged around by the main MSs of GSD, bleh... all that weight and it has only one function? Yeech..

The large machete-like blades of Strike Noir seems to be made for some MS-chopping fun (imagine zipping around the battlefield, yapping "Meat!" nonstop, he he... ), but I do like the revamped designs for the Duel And Buster units; they're a whole lot meaner looking (badass, heh heh... ).

Maybe GS StarGazer will promise fans more models that have more design details (think Astray series designs )

Just finish assemble my HG 1/144 Strike Freedom


Larger Image

Wow~~look so NICE!1XD~~

i can see ur panel lining is really top notch
and its the freedom with stand version !
(p/s izzit really 1/144 HG? looks a little tad over detailed )





really, i know due to the fact the RX-78 is quite sturdy with simple design but highly detailed parts. This is why i love zaku too, things fit in juz nicely. Extra weaponry are much incorporated in the designs of the older models.

Do u mean Zeta v2 ? wow thats first negative feedback for Zeta v2 i've heard lol. If its V1 u are referring, then well, i understand . Alot ppl are dissapointed with v1 too.

take for example the blue frame 2nd L, it has quite complicated design, especially the face which is really loosey and it falls off nearly everytime i touch it. Anyone had Perfect Gundam MG? i think it is quite cool to get one, but wanna know the posebility when it is in RX-78 form . And since some model removed the core block it is quite sad, coz for me its some of the cool features i've wanted.

thanks.

it is HG 1/144 Strike Freedom. The stand i took it from HG 1/144 destiny one.

Corteousy of Its Highness Gunota, really promising GunPla for all:
I quite LOLed at the MG Gyan news, didn't forsee that the obvious joke seen in Keroro Gunso ep5 (Keroro cited it's the "maboroshi GunPLa", hee hee... indeed... ) actually came to existence now... But look at those mechanical details! *drools...*

And the Strike Noir looks quite fun, especially with those cable thingy...

yeah... very "yeng"...

Very dumb is more like it. Dual handguns don't really belong to a mech. It belongs to people like Dante.
