Hi everybody..

What is modding?

As i'm currently helping out my fren to put up his "model GD", so called a fake MG rx-93 nu gundam. he bought it more than 3 aredi loh..
oni finished left arm and the 1 pair of feet.

putting it up is a real challenge, but it's far from fun coz u know u are working with imitations, and there's a few things i rili wanted to condemn:

manual: cilaka, simply scan and remove all jap wordings (straight blank on the jap words), looked rili weird. photo quality is ci**i scan quality. where got quality?
parts: whuaa.. all parts are there , but so sorry for the precision coz u'll have to cut and sand here and there. otherwise won't fit, or it just got distorted when u forced to snap it.
polycaps and plastic quality: it's not 1st grade plastic. u can forget the color but the "feel" is rili teruk, many parts aren't smooth and got extra uninvited plastic chunks coming out here and there.. many sanding and cutting extra "fat".
finishing: not sure yet coz still doing it.

just 80% of the internal frame. then will try to seal all the holes and crevices and prime the whole thing..

maybe will try to take some pic, see whether can tell if it's a real MG or a GD..

haha...

uuhh.. chelen me..

wait.. wait..

just worry my phototaking skill not good enuf, later have to blame on camera.. haha..

wait la.. this one rili alot work leh.. korek here korek there jus to make sure parts fit aredi make my eye wanna fall out..

Here's the RX-93 by model GD.. just 80% completed.. fin not assemble yet..

Really alot of cutting, trimming and sanding work..
Haven't start painting yet..
fuh.. tired tired..

will try to post new photos later..

i'm so eagerly disposing my bandai's pg wing...
no wonder it can't sell

i think he's referring to other crappy brand.
well.. indirectly he might be refering tt hongli as crappy brand.
i don't know whether they crappy or not.
they are definitely a knock-off of bandai for sure, so no need to defend tthongli

how about the "feel" of it when u try to pose it?
got that "solid plastic" feel or not? or still feels flimsy all over?

GD not ok. newer model might look ok but the built gundam is very flimsy.. the feel of it is like some of the armor might just fall off..

unfortunately they have shifted.
