The Dalong.net guy doesnt give seed kits much attention. Look at his Seed section, newer seed kits just have straight builds and then nothing.. Furthermore, he's giving a lot of attention to his new Kotobukiya section. maybe thats why he didnt bother to buy a stargazer kit?  icon_idea.gif or maybe he's waiting for the Kerberos BuCue and build them both? who knows..

About the shiny thingies on the stargazer, its confirmed stickers, this guy maybe bought 2 kits and built one for each config. see this:
Well, maybe the Dalong guy decided to take a break from gundam and focus on other models, esp his SRW kits. As for his neglect for SEED kits, I don't really mind, as long as he continues his picture reviews for the MG line... Not really into SEED kits anyway... Their designs are really getting weirder and weirder.

Stargazer looks fine, but not really eye-catching. The lack of weapons is disturbing, although they have included the beam rings which look really cheesy... Note that it cannot make full rotations around the SG as the doughnut ring blocks most of its path.

Bling bling stickers... at least they provide us with the option of choosing either one, rather than repaint the whole thing. Not that I like the bling effect anyway....

Now in dilemma whether to get F91 or hang on and wait for a possible release of V2.... sigh.... guess i wil wait on...

in addition, if this is really the special edition stand, then i will be laughing all the way.... it's just a simple legend type stand with wires supporting the dragoons !! LOL...

I dunno if i can help u much, but i'll try...

frm ure last known issue, the blue Hazel Custom, i presume its the march 06 issue rite?, so i'll start from april 06:

April 06: Black Guarlion Custom frm SRW-OG
May 06: no freebies
Special EX issue no.2: White Hazel Custom Full Sheild Booster Config + Hazel Advanced Poster  thumbup.gif
June 06: no freebies (not sure if got freebie or not - Forget oledi)
July 06: no freebies
Aug 06: no freebies
Sept 06: no freebies
Oct 06: UC Arms Gallery - Hazel Beam rifle

im collecting the taiwan issue of DHM, so its release is quite late compared to the Japan version. Still dunno about the Nov and Dec issues, but i read on another forum that the Dec issue of DHM will have the New Primrose Core-Fighter/Torso Equipment for tha Hazel kits. And some of the forumers here hv alredi bought the Nov Issue i think. Anyway correct me if im wrong! cheers.gif !

EDIT: typo corrected
*
Hazel beam rifle comes with Sept issue... However, the Hazel rifle is really puny as it's a MSiA sized replica. It's intricately built with little colored areas for the buttons, cameras, and also the e-pacs; however it's puny size deters me from posing it with my 1/100s dry.gif... And it's too big for my gashapon Hizack doh.gif

About the freebies... Sometimes it's kinda stupid to pay RM 10 extra for the gift, for example the Hazel rifle. I had no choice as I wanted to read the F91 special!! Oh yeah, I found the Sept issue of Taiwan DHM selling for RM 18 here in JB, yet the Hong Kong version of the same issue sells for only RM 15.... weird....

Last year there was one issue (forgot which month) which came with a sweet figurine of 魔法教师 in 3D, now that is worth collecting. Too bad my friend got that issue and I didn't. The Hazel addons of Jan 07 seems nice, but the price might be higher though if it comes in a lot of parts. Not that I have a Hazel kit to fully utilise it anyway whistling.gif

Just got the Oct Taiwan DHM wit the free data book on SPT Layzner Series.. is this the latest Taiwan ver. DHM?

I think so.. usually local Taiwan DHM are slower by 2 months... but this time they actually released the Oct issue early !! The Sept issue took almost 1 week plus to reach JB bookstores whistling.gif

QUOTE(infested_ysy @ Nov 27 2006, 09:17AM)
The Negima figurine isn't anything spectacular. It's just a rehash of the samurai sword wielding girl that's available commercially, only that they added a pair of angel wings on her back.

And get a Hazel. You know you want it :s.
Angel wings? I dunno, but my friend's figurine has no wings. Instead it has a small spell book... The figurine is much more nicer than the puny MSiA hazel rifle. I'd pay RM 10 extra for the figurine than a small rifle... Even my gashapon Hizack doesn't cost as much.

NO... DON'T TEMPT ME WITH HAZEL.... Argh.... *trying to resist brainwashing* tongue.gif

Nov issue comes with nude chick figurine... Hmph... not very pretty leh... And need painting.... Sigh... leaving it nude looks kinda ugly.

Hm... Funny, coz I always get mine either in MPH or Popular... even Indian comic stalls sells them here in JB. Couple of months ago it was virtually impossible to find them anywhere in JB, but now almost all bookstores have them laugh.gif

Yet there is no gunpla shop around in JB.... sigh.... only Jusco and The Store (and also a few anime/comic shops) which sell at sky high prices.

Well if you like the DOM, of course it is good to buy tongue.gif And it comes with hell lots of guns biggrin.gif Good to use with other MGs. But I prefer the OYW version as the colors are much more nicer.

N Gundams nowadays r skinnier than the older ones...
Maybe they r using Zeta as the standard coz Zeta's kinda skinny too  rclxm9.gif

Zeta is not that skinny. Zeta is sleek because it needs a streamlined design for the Wave Rider mode. Nu Gundam together with HiNu are bulky mechas and I was hoping the HiNu would be bulky too. Oh well...

i think the two rifles are the same beam rifles that is used by the Duel Gundam.. im using them rite now.. quite nice seing Noir weilding dual rifles rather than those 2 puny pistols..  tongue.gif also in the first episode (or izzit second?) for the Stargazer series, we see the Noir flying with the two beam rifles setup..

so if u wan the dual wield rifle, go buy a Duel Assault Shroud and a Blu Duel..  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif
*
Noir has only two ugly pistols as its default weapons. I don't remember seeing dual rifles in the anime though I might be wrong.

Somehow I feel that the original Assault Shroud has better looking designs that the chunky Blu Duel. Throwing daggers.... Kinda stupid to me... I'd prefer the original micro missiles... And the two folding pistols makes the forearm look fat and ugly... whistling.gif Original Duel is still the best. thumbup.gif

well... maybe buy some NG 1/144 Strikes? tongue.gif

QUOTE(zeroglyph @ Dec 6 2006, 11:57 PM)
actually if you guys look carefully, u can see the lines. i use grey markers, so  it's not really visible in the pics. i don't like to panel every single lines, it'll look somewhat too messy, like some of dalong.net's gundam. so i just panel to emphasize the major lines.
*
indeed u have biggrin.gif Missed it coz it's really pale...

But some places are very obvious, eg the vents beside the mouth piece... Oh yeah... for the MKII, maybe u can try cutting the excess green stickers into thin strips to stick it at the two cameras on the chest biggrin.gif

Starghazzer - did you see the BuCue there? Typical of Ban Dai to use back old parts and make a new model kit out of it doh.gif
Well yes I did... tongue.gif And it is about time they released some good designs for HG or even 1/100. The BuCue was one of the better suits in CE. I expect a LaGowe to be released soon.

Having said that, I probably won't buy them anyway... 1/144s are too small sad.gif

I am still crossing my fingers...
F91 -> Crossbone -> F91 Harrison Madin -> Crossbone Full Cross -> Victory Type? -> V2 ??

WALAO.... Luckily I am not a fan of SF...

Besides the BLING joints, there's nothing special. Special stand for dragoons? Hah, we can make those holders with wires... Bling joints? well, they are only joints and hence will be mostly covered by the armor. Besides, you can easily spray the normal poo joints with gold spray yourself.

But at least the dragoons can be separated... The extra posters and catalogue doesn't justify the price tag anyway. It might be better just to buy the normal 4800 yen MG SF... yet no separating dragoons sad.gif

Sorry for being a spoilsport, I admit I am jealous of the SF treatment that other MGs doesn't have. biggrin.gif

Whatever... It's still a very WOW release... thumbup.gif

Which shop in JB sells gundam models? Sigh... A few weeks ago, during the final few days of my part-time job, I saw something real hilarious... There was this shop which sells pirated PS2 games, and on a top rack they had two 1/100 models of SF and IJ.... they were BENDI and the price was RM69.90.... I LOL'ed....

Anyway... MG GM Sniper is really crap.. The horrendous green, coupled with lots of areas that need painting, eg the rims of the vents... OMG... Nemo has a much better hue of green.

Maybe you could check out the goodies over there and see whether there are anything worth buying or not biggrin.gif

Meanwhile, dalong.net has the review of the blue F91... Lots of areas that are molded in the wrong colours, and they need paint or stickers sad.gif And look how PUNY it is compared to the MKII.

SF ain't the tallest yet
just try to place the MG F91 beside a MG Nu Gundam (tallest Gundam should be Psycho Gundam, but too bad no 1/100 Psycho Gundam)
then you'll know how punny is the F91 tongue.gif

Nu is still one head smaller than the Sazabi tongue.gif And check out the comparison between the MG F91 and the MG Perfect Zeong !!

SF is not much taller than the MKII, after all both are around 18+m. And the MKII is more bulky than the SF.

GW models are similar to the F91, only 16+m... So just taller by 1cm in an MG.

1/100 Psycho gundam would be gigantic, macam PG already... maybe even taller.

wat do lyn think about this
Well the very first time I saw The O I was dumbfounded. I thought, WTF is this big blob of fat metal doing in an anime with sleek designs like Zeta? And hell ugly it was... But then when I got more exposed to UC designs, especially the Zeta storylines, I thought WOW.... The O is BADASS... In fact, even though it doesn't have much weapons (rifle and beam sabres), it still kicked loads of ass and pwned the Hyaku.

CE baddies, besides Providence, had none of the baddie boss feel... Legend was a crap spawn of its deadly predecessor; while Destiny was never intended to be a baddie boss.

The O... groin arms... Macam Nightingale.... Imagine when dueling in a melee battle, and suddenly two little pincer-like arms went up your mecha's crotch and pulled out your bal...erm, wires laugh.gif

so, you're saying that SEED designs are better? tongue.gif
come on, I'm just asking which you like the best. Like for me, even though Freedom is a better version of Strike (you can say the child of Strike Gundam) and Justice is a better version of Aegis etc etc...I still like Strike more because...I just do smile.gif
*
Freedom and Justice are not successors of Strike and Aegis respectively. If you follow the chronological development of the CE mechas, Freedom and Justice are ZAFT made machines which used the battle data from the GAT-X machines, but they are definitely not direct descendants.

Having said that... Aegis is the best CE design EVER... Big menacing SOTONG GRIPPERS... grabbing onto your cockpit and WHAM !!! RAINBOW PLASMA BEAM IN YOUR FACE !!

now for my latest UC kit, bought yesterday for RM30... the Gun Blastor 'Gun EZ' Gundam frm the ever so hard to find Vgundam kits thumbup.gif

thumbup.gif

Gundam V had some of the better designs of the UC era. Even the weird looking, torso combining Tomliats looked cool in MA mode, where the upper torso transformed into an Apache like assault chopper while the legs became bombers.

The model is a damn old one... 1993, 94 I think... It's no wonder that the colors and the mechanical design of the model suck. GW models, especially the 1/144s suffer similar fates as well.

GunZ... why the heck did Tomino kill Odelo? mad.gif

Anyway, our modelling forum is becoming off topic tongue.gif For further anime or mecha design discussions, kindly head over to our gundam anime thread and continue the flaming of CE tongue.gif laugh.gif
