is it me or does the MG Noir look somewhat chubby
and notice the bottom picture wit the hands....looks like HG though  blink.gif

mg gp03s uses that kind of manipulator though, and iirc there are a few other MG that uses those type of manipulator

QUOTE(boyarque @ Feb 7 2007, 10:03 AM)
i would say they are good enough for touching up or painting small parts...wouldn't recommend for large surfaces though, looks ugly....

anyway, maybe it also depends on the skill of the user ( which in my case...very low cry.gif )

QUOTE(VincC454 @ Feb 7 2007, 10:06 AM)
yes..those big head marker set are good for coloring and especially those small small parts..larger part will show all those marker marks..

it also good for those parts that you accidently shave them too much or too deep
*
hmmm ic ic, thn it works the same way as the metallic silver/gold marker. might geta set and use it for touch up and stuff

Talkin about stands....
The hi-nu's stand is by far the most unique i've seen (i just started entering the world of gunpla)

Then again, notice the hole in the middle? Bandai cutting costs....
*
that's not cutting cost lah, the stand itself it's an emblem/logo, i think it's amuro emblem/logo, since all the gundams he piloted after rx-78 have the same logo

I have a mark setter! I ussually rub the decal on to the kit using coin or something hard!
Is it the way i apply it wrong?
*
the safest way to apply dry transfer decal is to use to use tape to stick the decal on the part u want the decal to be and rub it (i usually use the back of my crafting knife which is rounded). the tape will help u hold the decal in place and oso protect the decal . it oso makes it easy to apply on rounded or non flat area

Looking at the manual for the Strike Noir...
I notice that some screwing is required. Why screw when all these while they're using snap ons?
*
actually some older MG have screw, usually for knee/elbow joint, and i think all the MG in the G Gundam series have screw due to the internal frame they use. later MG series most of the time doesnt have screw anymore, i guess they improve the way the joints are made so screws are not necessary

i have nvr cut my finger while building gundam, but i did poke my finger with a tweezers though

Hi-nu with funnels, it's hard to pose the funnels, those transparent stick are just not strong enough to hold them up for long

yup those sticks are soft plastics so that u can bend it, but that is oso a problem as the funnels is not light so it'll bend the sticks after a while, a better solution would to be use metal rods i guess, u can bend them and it can hold the funnels without problem

actually i think stargazer is pretty good too, just that it's too short. they dun even have enough time to properly develop the characters before it ends
