sousuke, drift.
the head itself got 5 parts. so masking is very minimal, most of the part is separated well enough. it feel like snap-fitting a plastic kit actually. of coz need glue.

it is rock hard n solid feel, but very easy to saw, drill and sand.
*
cool man...so the face is seperated from the head like a normal MG kit right? i mean just the face...i know u can seperate the eyes,face plate & "beard" heh...and as for glue...u can't use plastic cement now right? needs super glue? unsure.gif ur answers will determine whether or not i'll confirm getting an MG SF conversion set tongue.gif

What is a conversion kit? What does it do actually?

sweat.gif
*
conversion = convert a model kit into a different one
the SF conversion set is a set of parts made of resin for SF to be fitted on the MG Freedom Gundam frame...so u'll need to buy both an MG Freedom & SF conversion parts by CORE-WOrKS...but just to let u know that only little of the MG Freedom parts is used so u'll have A LOT of wasted parts...unless ur planning to use the parts on modding other kits later smile.gif

edit: btw StormV, im probably gonna get Bandai's version if they ever release one as well...gonna collect both as im very sure they'll have a lot of difference between the 2 kits biggrin.gif

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 doh.gif)
*
thats only in M'sia of course...its a whole different story if u were in Japan/Taiwan/HK(?) laugh.gif

edit: oh yeah n of course the special stuff that comes with the kit...ex: gold coating on Akatsuki dry.gif but they made a good job on the gold of the Hyakushiki for the newly released Gryphios War Set thumbup.gif

since im going to jap oftenly so maybe i'm the 1st person who experience buying 1/100 at 1/144 price  laugh.gif  thumbup.gif  drool.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

1st person? dry.gif doubt it...i have b4 asked my dad to buy a HG 1/144 Freedom, Forbidden & Raider when he was on a business trip to Japan...n i've bet other ppl who's actually bought from there b4 me as well whistling.gif

edit: buying online is from HLJ & Hobby Search gets u the same price as well just that u need to add the cost of shipping smile.gif

Same here. Got some from Tokyo with help from my manager
1/100 HG Duel Gundam (Malaysia totally sold out - Yzak rules)
1/100 HG Providence Gundam (Malaysia havent released this item yet during that time)
1/144 HG Providence Gundam (for some color experiments sweat.gif )
Some gundam and Haro trading Figures

After coverting to RM, the HG 1/100 kits cost around RM55 each

BTW found some interesting stand. Dunno can use for gundam model kits or not. DC is bringing them in

And 1 nice mecha from the Macross series
*
yeah i got my HG 1/144s for around RM40+ each...gave my dad RM150 n told him to keep the change since it was already considered as cheap getting 3 HG 1/144 kits for RM150 rclxm9.gif

lol. And we have to pay almost double that amount for only one kit tongue.gif

Which reminds me, how much do local shops over you guys' place charge for Advanced Hazel and Hazel Custom? I find all the shops over here in Malacca suddenly charging RM85 (I bought it back in January for only RM70) for Advanced Hazel, and RM75 (bought for RM62 back in Jan) for Hazel Custom... o_o
*
yeah....which is a rip off....it's even more of a rip off here in Aus...AUD35 for a HG 1/144 kit...thats like RM92 for a single HG 1/144 kit...was planning to get a Zeta Ver 2.0 here but when i saw the price tag the other day at China Town, forget it...AUD150 vmad.gif thats almost like double wat u can get back in KL mad.gif will probably just save the cash n get a CORE-WOrKS MG SF (whenever it becomes available) & an MG Destiny conversion set when its released smile.gif

Have anyone here bought the Ex-model arcangel, eternal & minerva before? Do it require a lot of painting like the 144 series or less painting like 100 series.
*
IIRC the Archangel needs a lot of painting since i *think* its molded in only 1 color ie grey...but looking at the Minerva & Eternal i guess thats not the case wacko.gif

will the new titans Mk II be just a recolor of the aeug version? or will there be any improvements? if it's cheaper than the aeug version then i might consider buying

IIRC it has an improvement on the waist...lower waist is able to move horizontally smile.gif

http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/index.html

the site got a lot paints & hobby supplies
but to order you send email of the product ID together with shipping information
for payment, send the credit card number together in the mail
is this safe? sending credit card number through email? sweat.gif
*
