^ i wish for the space, not for the kits/figures

no mercy from taurus, as usual

indeed.. we're going with the 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it' idea

finally managed to start on the nu ver ka, although not mine
but i've only done the skeleton of the body and the head, and i have to say the engineering is superb! hearing people talk about it is one thing, going through the build part by part and studying it first hand, truly a work of art

did u check the locking mechanism on the blue part on the shoulders where the GN drive move from front to side to back along the axis of? the blue square-ish piece, there is a dark grey piece that can slide back and forth

unlock it, adjust accordingly then lock it back down

sigh.. kids nowadays don't even know work in progress and before + afters

unfortunately i think a mod has mentioned that stupidity is not a crime in the forums

sadly the new MS joint is not weak at the wrist.. it is weak slightly below the wrist where you are supposed to bend it into place from the runners.. there doesn't seem to be any locking mechanism for that part
my old sinanju holds his rifle well enough though, not really any complaints there, plus his hand is combined with the sleeve portion so it does not droop

i see, there hardly seems to be any friction until it reaches a sort of 30-ish degrees downwards, then it stops right before it completely dislodges from the wrist joint

the old sinanju is okay for me, not that big of a problem.. and those pegs are always easy enough to fix, plus they hold the gun well enough.. normally the thing that causes the problem would be a dropping wrist joint, which most MSs are notorious for having.. but i have to agree that the new MS joint hands are much better and stabler in terms of holding the weapons

PG > MG is quite a stupid marketing idea, but i do love it seeing as the MG 00R has noticably fewer problems compared to the PG

^ imagine the framing of the binders and the detailed parts separation expected of them at this time and age, the binders would be extremely heavy, therefore requiring metal joints to connect the binders, plus it has to be properly reinforced, otherwise it wouldn't be able to put all his binders up at 90 degrees, which is quite a huge consideration too.. i think it's smarter of them to abandon the project for now rather than go on with it, which would cause them to take a lot of flak for an inferior product

plus 3rd parties are coming up with their own.. perhaps that may push bandai to get their own out soon

the price of a RG Zeta.. however it does come with a lot of shiz so i think it's a pretty good deal

at that statement on sandpaper

anyway, anyone collects these gashapons?

yeap they're both mine.. hand got itchy so i decided to give it a shot, twice
haven't got round to reconditioning the bent parts yet.. banshee only got it at the horn.. delta plus, however.. the gun and his back fins are all bent out of shape

i think you're looking for something called panel line scribing IINM.. you can look up youtube for some vids on doing that personally i have never tried yet

btw, anyone can confirm whether or not the old MG Nu's fin funnels have the same aesthetic appearance as the new Nu ver Ka? are the attachment points similar?

crap, i don't know why that did not occur to me thanks.. seems like they completely changed it, for the worse, in some ways

yeap, i meant the connection pegs that everyone seems to be complaining about.. i'll see how bad it really is soon, since i'm finished with the main body.. all that's left is the backpack and funnels

finally smacked nu ver ka together and the 'transformation' is remarkable! very subtle changes but makes a world of difference by revealing all the panels and lines as well as the foil stickers making quite a good effect on the clear parts.. i must say i'm quite speechless.. now i fully understand how he got 120 on dalong.. color me impressed

well i completed the funnels for the nu ver ka, and it really is as bad as they say.. put all 6 on and it flops about and falls off if you so much as look at them the wrong way
studying it extensively still revealed no possible way to stabilize it without some modding... probably will have it in the 3-3 configuration then.. since the funnels launching option just takes up too much space
