GP02 looks cools with the back pack! But sadly it cant put the bazooka and the back pack on the same time!!!

We are getting a non gundam MG kit later!! Its from L-gaim MK2

I got that gif from another Gunpla forum, pretty cool yea. Im a freedom and strike freedom and justice fan. I dunno why im not a destiny gundam fan .. Shin Asuka kinda weird if Kira Yamato was piloting the Destiny .. then im a fan

Yea, still waiting for my IJ, hope it will arrive today and ill take pic and post it here

MG news for April .. i dunno lor but im getting the Hi Nu Gundam which is coming out in Feb.

well, can always post to my cousin in m`sia until i come bck

so who's nice enough to build 1 4 me

We got to wait until probably like mid-to-late February, then we might see something.

WHAT?!!! ...got new release some more?...alaaaaa...jangan laaaa...
spent my fortune already last december.....now saving for sniper, full burst n hi-nu....tak mau, tak mau lagiiii...huwaaaaa

i'll be investing on the MG Strike Noir .......i got 2 MG's now but none of them are painted, only lining is done.....how much would the painting resource for a cerain model cost, lets sat MG Freedom.

that would depend on how you'll be painting ur gundams.
1) hand paint/airbrush/marker?
2) type of paint? lacquer/enamel/acrylic?
3) do u want to paint the internal frame too?
4) what level of detail do u want?

Jz wanna ask, wil ther be a MG Destiny? da HG n normal 1/100 scale jz...sulky

agreed...one example is my experimentation with my kampfer...

1 spray can black - rm 30 (empty already)
1 spray can surfacer - rm 39 ( also empty already)
1 spray can topcoat flat - rm 30 ( still got balance as i dun spray all parts)
assortment of arcylic paint - +- rm 50
1 bottle of retarder - rm 10 ( this one dun use much )

so, cost almost rm 150++.....

but for crossbone n f91 just need flat coating and lining pen...so cost is cheaper

u won't get the answer unless u know someone work in bandai(specific department), or u know someone can predict future.

well, u can get a VP version. pictures below

Attached thumbnail(s)

just got MG strike freedom. bought it at time machine for RM158, blady cheap loh. still wondering how come they sell it so cheap hmmmm

ok..for airbrushing..it will be like this..and i use to color my mg freedom

one mr surfacer1200 bottle(one bottle for me can last for at least 3 gundam) - rm15
leveling thinner( can last for many mixture with paints) - rm14
mr color bottle(one bottle can last 2 mg model only for me..this case..freedom inner frame took the whole gold bottle) - rm6 and that will be gold, blue, red, grey, and black
topcoat(last for 3 or 4 mg gundams - rm30

thats it..

Haha, actually i dun really care much bout pilots....I found Destiny kinda sucks, not coz it's being piloted by Shinn..it's coz of the Gundam doesn't seem powerful enuf...D flashy wing's burst r only a make up, hehe

At d end of d day, i'm still with the simple design of SF n IJ Furthermore, d upgraded version of Freedom n Justice r still d most powerful throughout d whole series....Designs r simple, not bulky yet powerful....nicely done with the Gold n Silver joints.....

Bout Hi Nu, i still prefer the normal Nu Gundam but it would b better if the backpack has 2 sets of funnels (izit) juz like the SD Force's...One sided funnel's kinda wierd....

hmm.. seems that hand painting does use a lot less paint compared to air brushing.

hand painting does use less paint but it requires skills to paint.. if the mixture is not right, u get brush strokes on ur models..
for handpaint u need to add a few drops of mr. retarder mild to ur paint and of cos u need to add thinner too..
airbrush sprays paint on unwanted surfaces too hence more paint required.. but no brush stroke problem except for some water droplets if ur compressor goes too hot..

which looks better spraying method or hand painting.....


since i've done the linings n applied the decals , it'll be very troublesome to spray paint it now rite

Finally this came to me .. my 1st Gundam model. Still dunno what post shud my IJ have .. hehe

both method also depends on your liking..like me i prefer AB than handbrushing..unless for those small mg figure..whihch is no choice have to use hand to paint them..

if you do the lining already..you still can spray ur gundam..but decal..you spray of couse you also cover the decal..

so is there any way to buy the decals?

spraying on the lining, wouldn;t it disolve it or something?
