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....


har... u mean SF and IJ looks plain and not bulky. To me i think they look too complicated. If u really want to said a mecha that is not bulky in CE era tat would be Astray Red Frame!!!
talking of non bulky but most powerful i would vote for God Gundam! OWN Kira and Athrun badly even with their seed open!!! GOD Finger (they goes with SF and IJ head)

hmm.. seems that hand painting does use a lot less paint compared to air brushing.
I agree with this! But handpaint sometimes also consumes a lot of paint!

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..
Get a water trap for ur AB then it will get rid of the problem.

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..
I usually AB but sometimes handpaint is required too. Especially if they is a small part which has different color than others, or if they is too few parts with the particular color AB will be wasting a lot of paint and not to mention the clean up after AB1
