off topic a while notworthy.gif

the reason why Mobile Suits need legs in space explained tongue.gif

"The Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (AMBAC) is a fundamental technology that allows for thruster-less maneuvering in the zero-G environment of space by mobile suits by means of precise movement control of their limbs."

"AMBAC works by leveraging Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion (When there's an action there is an equal and opposite reaction) with regard to inertia to effect changes in direction. For example, if we place a person in a micro-gravity environment where friction is negligible (i.e. space), and ask him to place his left arm to his chest then swing it out to the side, the resulting inertia of the arm movement would result in the rest of his body turning the other direction in order to conserve angular momentum. Then when the motion of the arm stopped, the rotation of the body would also stop. The AMBAC system coordinates movements and micro-movements precisely, allowing a continuous balance and stability without expending reaction mass. For the most part, AMBAC is invisible to the naked eye, as the shifts are slight. The system can be used to dodge incoming projectiles or small objects as the arms and legs of a mobile suit account for a significant portion of its total mass. The AMBAC system also allows the center of mass to shift outside of the body. AMBAC is by its nature limited to re-orienting the unit about its center of mass, and is not a substitute for propulsion. It is often used in conjunction with the propulsion system to quickly turn the unit and shorten aiming speed as well as directing the main thrusters. The system is similar in principle to the momentum wheel system used in present day satellites, though obviously more complex. Mobile suits performing AMBAC motions would presumably move similarly to present-day astronauts performing extra-vehicular activity: both typically having roughly similar body structure, their use of that mass to control their rotation would presumably be similar, even if calculated by different means."

hmm.gif not sure if this is the right thread but alright i'll entertain it.  tongue.gif

universal century can get very technical at times but a lot of them technical rules r made up by themselves for themselves. UC also explain in vivid details (with actual formula to boot) on the physics of Minovsky particles but it doesn't exists nor will it ever exists because real world physic wouldn't support it. Its all made up in order to present the show as a real robot show, to present itself as hard science fiction rather then an all out space fantasy, to present some sort of justification as to why giant robot shooting pew pew lazor with psychic pilot in space exist within the universe. In the 70's, robot shows r confine to the realm of super robot genre, an all out fantasy setting in which they have no needs and no obligation to flesh out the technical aspect of the show. Gundam essentially created a new genre with its intricate details (albeit fictional), concept tech that could work, pseudo mathematical formulas, amalgamation of real world physics with its own made up physics, etc etc all this effort is to create an illusion for the viewers to present the show as real as it could be. Credit where credit is due, I salute Bandai and Sunrise dedication in fleshing out the Gundam universe (well the UC stuff anyway), the physics of the show may be largely fictional but its real enough to the general audience that the kids growing up watching it is inspired to go into scientific fields and/or intrigue them into researching and reading more scientific articles.

tldr: its all fictional. In fact 3 words is all we need to counter any reasoning for giant robot existence, square cube law. Ball is the closest mobile suit in terms of plausibility.

yeah i know it's fiction, but at least it's a more plausible reason to why they design space mobile suits with legs than how Treize explain it laugh.gif tongue.gif

Any tips on how to minimize nubs on plated kits that are NOT undergated? Because that's what Unicorn Phenex is. Such a PITA.  doh.gif

It's selling for RM396 at TimeMachine, FYI. Not sure about the other shops.

for plated kits, you can't completely remove the nubs, only can cover it

not paint whole kit, just apply some gold paint on the nubmarks, at least less eyesore than naked nubmarks

Waa... Your method is ?

My formula is for metal, like this:
1st spray metallic black, then spray metallic silver .
Lastly chrome coat.

Hi guys,

Do you have any recommendations on where to shop for Gundam in Hong Kong? I heard that Mongkok is a MUST visit place for me. Going there during summer sales.

My wife allowed me to buy only 1 PG (my first PG), and i cannot decide which one to buy:-
1) Strike Freedom Gundam (since i MG burst mode, thinking of getting the PG)
2) ASTRAY RED FRAME (love the sword!)
3) 00 Raiser (heard that demand is GOOD, and looks nice!!!)
4) Aile Strike Rouge & Skygrasper (looks like a lot to build and my wife likes it)
5) Gundam Wing (looks really challenging!!!)

So, guys, whats your recommendation of my first PG should be?
*
any of the above are worth getting except Gundam Wing icon_rolleyes.gif

my problem with PG Wing is it doesn't feel like a PG among all the PGs
the outer armor are in large pieces, there isn't any special gimmick like armor hatch openings
it just felt like a 1/60 MG

more like they give it because they want to

if in big size like HGUC Psycho gundam or any PG I dont mind full articulate fingers
and usually Gunpla not for playing one, prefer fixed finger to hold those weapons smile.gif

and forgot to tell ralph_d
there are 3rd party full articulate finger hand in market
cost about rm30-50 if you dont mind to get it to replace current one

I don't mind any version, as long as it's detailed and not the 90's NG/HF funny shape types

as for the third party, no pegs to hold weapons is even more PITA whistling.gif
