next MG.... F91 !! woot sexy.... hope they make it slightly larger than the 14m thing.... too small not nice

when is my MG destiny coming out

of course BANDAI will be able to produce a smaller MG, but what I'd really like is a slightly larger F91... that way we'd be able to appreciate the details more... coz normally MGs will be slightly larger/taller/sleeker than the 1/100 counterpart, eg 1/100 freedom and MG Freedom....

MG V2 will be superb..... extremely superb....... loads of parts, loads of guns...... woot!! but i know there'll be a lot of fans waiting for MG justice (since it's such a good design)

MG SF? no...... no........ pls come out with MG destiny first........ it's time shinn's models got some respect Impulse, destiny !! nah...... most probably SF will come out first considering it's popularity, but i feel that MG SF will look just like the old MG freedom (which is superb) without any new changes.... just the look i suppose...

but for god's sake change the horrible 1/100 SF head.... hate that pear face.

just curious..... what is the size of eva models? it looks kinda huge...

personally i prefer mecha which look like mecha, instead of aliens... dunbine looks real weird...

which is what i dont like never really liked the idea of medival + robots... escaflowne was weird too... eva made me pity the aliens... imagine having a brat within your body, tugging at every tendon and ligament, controlling your every movement... while screaming and crying

by the way... the master of 1/144 is back....... HAIL THE MASTER !!

nail clippers... then use sandpaper or file... i prefer sand paper since it's flexible (paper mah)... but most of the time if u trim the sprues off nicely you wont really nice sandpaper. besides, sanding cannot be applied on dark surfaces, unless you want weathered effect ....... but if you're painting it, by all means go ahead and sand. Just odo do it overboard until you wreck the surface...

I have no confidence in BANDAI releasing a MG destiny soon...

I have an 1/100 Destiny and i must say it's considerably well made... compared this to the horrendous SF and you'll get what i mean.

Of course, unless you're really desperate to get Destiny, otherwise it's ok to wait for the MG.... most probably another year...

andyxp: i'm planning to get a blue frame too..... but still a bit reluctant coz my wallet's a bit tight at the moment... but that is a good model with a wide range of articulations and most importantly it has hell lots of parts... makes modelling more enjoyable.

btw, nice red fframe....... panel lines perhaps

thick lines aint a problem if u clean it before it dries up..... u could draw the lines first (they'll look thick initially), then using an eraser, gently rub over the lines, so that the top layer is rubbed off, while a thin line remains in the line pit/seam... alternatively, use ur finger (make ur skin a bit oily, not wet first)to rub the lines... but careful as it may smear...

sometimes magazines recommend spirits, but u dont know whether ur spirit is too strong or not, coz it may mess up the colored parts.

stick the katana back with glue, and putty it... spray it shiny with metallic paint..... VOILA !!

meanwhile..... maybe i'd try this out

not sure...... but u could check out certain modelling forums and magazines... dengeki hobby is the best IMO... but get the taiwan version will do, ori jap version is useless as most of us can't read jap...

Superb C1... however i like the A1 with the red white color scheme , if only that one had the big a s s gun of the C1... how much did it cost u? the last i knew it was around Rm 135

does this come in MG?

for my 1/100 destiny, i added the red streaks beneath the eyes with left over red-stickers... but 1/144 might be too small to cut... worth a try though...

it is very small for the 1/144... the one on my 1/100 was around 1mm thick... hell had to cut it many times to get it right... and it ain't perfect anyway... look closely still can see the sticky edges...

other parts like shiny green or silver can be used for the gun sensors

yet another MSV??? we dont need another Murasame model...

nope... only did the panel lines, and i must admit some of them look quite thick...

meanwhile let's take a look at the production of gunpla

it's quite stable, but of course you can't really compare to those with large wooden or metal bases. However, only hangers which are made of hard wire can be used, soft ones bend far too easily.

But I'm not sure whether you could put it by the bedside coz it might fall over it you push it. The part where the hanger inserts into the groin is sort of hard to bend to the right shape. If the fit is not snug, the model may be tilted towards one end. Like my Justice for instance, it tends to fall towards the left side quite easily. The one for the Destiny is more stable.

erm... i'm not studying biochem... i'm into medicine... damn packed in this semester... Still haven't bought my desired blue frame Not much time for it...

GD = GODA deformed OMG... bendi kits are absolutely horrible


yeah, it seems that there aren't many females involved in modelling, those I saw at model shops are all searching for kits for their boyfriends.

I just splurged on a 1/100 blue frame for RM 115 on saturday... now my angpow money is officially gone, all used up for gundams, my driving license renewing, and the upcoming ball of my uni.

the kit is superb for a start, it has the most parts in all CE series models, and the articulation is comparable to an MG... it just lacks an internal frame, but the way the pieces snap together is not unsimilar to MG. It's the only 1/100 CE where the elbows can be fulled flexed.

The legs however are spendidly intricate, but a nightmare to build... instead of having the usual left and right pieces to snap together, the blue frame has much more parts... but i'm a bit disappointed as the small blade at the front of the foot looks like a spade rather than a sharp blade. Oh well... I'm asking too much...

my progress is quite slow for it has so many individual parts. 4 hours into the model and I've only completed the upper torso, head, both upper limbs, and the right leg... so it's only halfway done... Compare to my deathsycthe which took me rougly 4 hours to complete the whole thing.

But it's worth my money... RM 115 for something which has so many parts, and a wide range of articulation. Now to think that 105 is what we have to pay for a 1/144 bling bling Akatsuki Astrays are superb

Maybe I'll have to splurge on a red frame to accompany le blue... well... then i'll have to sell off my justice or deathscythe... any takers?

an MG of IJ is totally out of the question, judging by BANDAI's strategy of making MG models. And since the CE line is not as popular as UC, there's not much chance of seeing any more MGs from it. In fact they haven't even made an MG impulse, let alone destiny or SF... There are conversion kits for MG SF though...

the 1/100 HG is more possible, but the circumstances now are not encouraging as BANDAI is more comfortable in releasing 1/144s (at 1/100 prices ) Personally I don't think there'll be anymore 1/100 from the CE line....

for the difference between the 2 mechas, check it out at mahq.net.... under mecha - seed and seed destiny...

half way done on my blue frame... damn broke the small orange piece of the left leg which is supposed to hold the dagger in place... gotta get some superglue to stick it back.

I removed the semi circular part which was supposed to be inserted below the mouthpiece coz it looked like a neck brace for cervical fractures.

but the articulation is superb

here's some with destiny's weapons... and also the normal red frame's shoulder armors.

now this is superb.... our prayers have been answered... hail the revival of the 1/100 line !! but after my blue frame i suppose i'll have to stop buying mecha for the year....

man the proportions are superb, although the articulations are still 1/100...

the first link that you posted is the original IJ.... the second one is a custom modded one.... The modeller only mods 1/144 and all his works have a unique style, and are often very different from the original one designed by BANDAI...

finished my blue frame... but have trouble finding a good pose for it coz the giant swowr dis too heavy for the hands to hold....
