Funny, someone was talking about this in the MS Graphica or something like that (a book about 3DCG images of mobile suits).

Nu is incomplete where as HiNu is the refined version so of course slimmer lo. But its already bigger than strike freedom and rx78. Nu is the last and most powerful mecha piloted by amuro so its no surprise that HiNu is much more compact.

I'm thinkin of gettin a strike freedom soon. I need some advice/ answers

1. What's the main difference between MG and HG? (in terms of design)
2. Do i have to do any painting/spraying on MG/HG?
3. Is the price difference worth it?
4. What is the price range?
5. Where can I get it? (for cheap )
6. Will MG/HG be easily transferable? (as in easy to move from one place to another. Eg. I'm travelling from KL to Singapore and would like to bring it along)
7. Any other advices?
8. Any other interesting models?

Thx

Edit : Adding more questions

9. Any maintainance required?
10. Which looks better? MG/HG?

Send those uncompleted ones over to me

I'm not sure whether (in the novel Belthorchika's Children) HiNu is built and refined on the Nu's basic frame, or rather built on a brand new frame. If it was based on the Nu, how can the frame be shrunk that much? It should be the same size then. If it were the latter, then it's easier to accept the shrinkage.

But then, who cares as long as it looks so damn good...

1. See dalong.net for picture reviews
2. You can, but it's not a requirement. MG's colors are good enough, maybe just a few touchups here and there.
3. YES YES YES YES YES.... but NO for the Full Burst
4. price... ask around the shops lah, or convert from yen loh
5. Lowyat.net Or modelling shops all over Klang Valley
6. Get a couple of ice cream boxes with bubble wrap and they should be ok. I shifted mine this way from KL back to JB without any damage to the parts.
7. BUY MORE !!! Welcome to the abyss.
8. MG UC... HGUC... Once you play with MGs, you'd never want to touch 1/100s or 1/144s again... at least for me. Good thing that PGs are still way out of my budget.
9. Erm... don't drop them or you WILL cry...

Another addict in the making

Found something interesting from keita... MG Aries?

Just for interest's sake... I found one modelling shop in Chinatown in Melbourne over the weekend, and I almost cringed in agony at the price... AUD55 for 1/100 Saviour which costs 2600yen...

Okay another question~!!
I've seen online shops selling MG Freedom with a note saying
"Paint job required" or something like that....

What does it mean? Do i have to paint the whole thing or just minor touch ups (dirt/damage marks/etc)?

Also, can give me a comprehensive guide on HG/PG/MG/UC/etc?? and their differences?
Thx

Edit :
I remember reading somewhere that I might have to "outline" some parts with a black marker. Is this true?

Also, is it HARD to assemble the models?]


Edit2 : Nvm, prob/questions answered.
thx boyarque

for outlining and painting depends on your preference actually, although it does gives u the "real" look.

it is not hard to assemble, its just u have to be CAREFUL when assembling...u won't want to accidentally snip off crucial parts...OUCH!!!

not sure it's ok to share here or not

my first try on robot type figures.. kotobukiya r-1

took me 3 days still need to learn.. alot place is not really nice

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

Finally come back from my CNY holiday!!!

Looks cool!! I haven't touch mine yet!

The Mg Hi-Nu looks like the parts has a bit "extra-finish" is it my eye? Or is it true?
99 marks from dalong!!!! This must be a great kit to get that much marks....but still no match for his Acguy which he gave 100+++++++

Happy new year to all of u!!!

Hmm...basically a MG doesn't need any paint job, juz a bit if u really want all the parts to be colored like the anime/manga version....

PG = Perfect Grade scale 1/60
HG = High Grade scale 1/144 and 1/100
MG = Master Grade scale 1/100 only

UC is a different story It stands for Universal Century with is some sort of era for Gundam wars...Gundams under UC r RX-78, Zeta, MK II etc...

Freedom is under Cosmic Era, referred as CE which r for Seed series....
God Gundam n the Wing series are from other different era, so they r not related to UC era...

UC era Gundams r mostly designed thruout d 80s while God n Wing are after 1994 (correct me if i'm wrong)...

U can check this site out for details... www.gundamofficial.com

For MG Gundams, mostly are from UC while those from other era r hard to b found coz there r lotsa diehard fans

As for linings....u'll need to do that or ur Gundam will have a damn plain look....y dun u go n check www.dalong.net out? u'll notice the difference....

By checking ur pic, it seems like a HG huh? i do know that d joints r weak but it will look nicer if u pose it properly

i got this frm gunota

MG Zeta Gundam Unit #3 - April, 5,250 yen

Wat does it means? Unit #3????
Isnt April MG Char's Custom Zaku f2 version 2.0!!!

i duno wat #3 means mayb there's 2 mg's for april jus as march

Izit a GFF?

MG Zeta???
Strange, the last Zeta Ver2.0 wasnt too long ago onli! Dun tell me there are gonna make those Zeta from Sentinel all into Zeta V2!!!

green divers version maybe?

Eh? New MG Zeta? What is unit 3? Green Divers? Or the custom coloured ones?

Zeta just came out with the ver2.0 so any new releases should be a re-colored one Maybe it's the same case with the 2 F91s which were released within a narrow time period.

Zaku ver2.0 should be damn sexy with loads of improvements over the predecessor...

If the review is good on zaku v2, i will grab myself 3 unit!

Holy... 3 units... Why? Custom color them? One for green, one for Char, another for Black Tristar !!
