i'm looking for parts to fix my old sinanju ver ka. that notorious waist part that tends to break doh.gif . just realized that the stein variants have extra parts that are unused. i'm referring to K1, K10 & K18. wondering if anyone is willing to sell me those parts? much better than just leaving it in the box. nod.gif do PM me directly.

Is the waist peg of yours already broken? I've found that just sanding to make the hole slightly bigger to reduce friction makes a world of difference in preventing breakage, and also doesn't affect the stability of the kit.

it's broken some years back. used epoxy + pins to fix it. works fine so far. didn't know the stein variant had the extra parts. sweat.gif

might as well try buying a complete part if someone willing to sell. anyone? nod.gif

Eva-01 is such a fine piece of art. You can basically put it into any pose and it will look cool anyway.

yeah, but the spinal joints get really loose over time. also the rubber elbow joint thing will break inside.

really looking forward to the new RG. that thing is drool.gif

Mine dont have any problem with rubber arm. Except the shit torso keep detaching from main body. Loose and unstable.

i have the older original variant, not the remake anime ver. happens to unit 00, 01 and 03. maybe they fixed the internal mechanism since then. although, i doubt it. same on the torso, i have to nail polish it every now and then, else it can't even stand. rclxub.gif

Thank you. Definitely looking forward to get that as my first wing gundam.

while waiting, MG zaku ii 2.0 and MG sniper 2 are excellent kits. very solidly build and very affordable too. these are the two i like to mess around the most. they just stay together whatever pose you try to put them on. no large backpack is a plus too. biggrin.gif

This is not a proper suggestion in this thread but you can try buy 3rd party conversion kit. It got new updated waist included. The Takumi Studio MG Sinanju.

thanks. i actually have no intention to pimp up the sinanju laugh.gif . just trying to buy some unused parts if available. why let it rot in the box? brows.gif

3rd party kits are always expensive. <a quick googling later>......i might as well buy a new sinanju stein instead. that way i'll have the parts AND another sinanju rclxub.gif laugh.gif

i mean since mg sinanju is known to break at waist part using the original parts. why risk breaking again? confused.gif
*
the one prone to breaking is only the 1st variant, ver ka. as i understands it, it's the material. which is why the ver ka frame fells more hefty. the subsequent variants don't have the waist issue.
