wow......now this is fast..V5 already?? btw, can any of the sifu here solve my previous prob regarding the simen?

Now, this is regular gold paint from tamiya with a coat of gloss coat. Personally, i think it is fine and am quite satisfied with it.

and the one that you c here, this is only speculation but i think this is titanium gold(or maybe gold leaf, i can't say..) So choose what colour you want for yr model. however, only the regular gold is found in spray paint form. the rest is in bottle form. it can b found in toy city in Time Square.

however, i prefer buying paint from tamiya at 1U, the one at the lower floor. a lot more selecton of paint and A LOT of equiptment you can't find anywhere else. like plaplates...just my 2 cents.

Turn-A eh? I have never seen the series but for a 100th MG...IMO anticlimatic is the best word i can describe this.

guys, i need some help here, do any of you know where to find those rare earth magnets about 3-4mm in diameter? I am planning to use it in my latest model-the VF-0A to mount the fast packs. If not, can any of the sifu here provide an alternative?

whatever you do, do not buy the bendi ver. of the aile striker! i bought it and the stand was rediculous!!! first, it broke, second the wires for launching are litreally strings................

Congrats on making the decision to buy the iwsp kit. But anyway, if you happen to miss what i posted earlier, i repeat DO NOT BUY THE BENDI VER OF AILE STRIKE!!! The launching pad is seriously not worth your cash. I bought it once, simply say, it sucks The launching pad is unstable, parts break easily AND the wire connecting to Strike to launch is not a wire! it is some sort of softer material that cant even stand!

When you said you searched 1U, did you search the Tamiya shop at the 2nd basement level? The last time i remember they had all sorts of tools there. Topcoat can be found at Times Square. The shop is on the 7th floor if i am not wrong named TIME MACHINE. All three types of topcoat can b found there.

Hmm....the competition sounds intresting....when is the next one may i ask? Btw, are only gundam kits allowed??

S'cuze me, but for those that entered the competition, may i ask are only gundam kit allowed?

ah....guess thats too bad....i was planning to enter my (soon-to-be-completed) VF-0S from wave...oh well, guess not then.

Your calling that a steal or still way overpriced?

hmm...from the pics at famitsu, gundam excia acctually looks not bad. I'm more towards thin, fast and manuverable gundams. However, looking at the model, i can c only six blades...two of them is held by Excia, two behind the shoulder armour and if i ain't wrong, two sticking out it's ass... (whats with weapon placing these days...i wouldn't b surprised if they soon invent one with a gun at the crotch )

well, the only thing i can say bout the stand is....well, good effort. A suggestion, if the stand was a glass block, it might have been better...

This isn't the right place to ask this you know...this is a MODELLING forum. Anyways, if my memory serves me correct, the name of the song is METEOR.

well, well, more pix of gundam exia and so on...

I whole-heartly agree, Unicorn gundam should get the model treatment. Just look at the pics! my my...bulky yet sleek...unlike anor-exia...

Damn right you are! Man, who is the designer, this is one of those rare designs that makes you fall in love with it the minute you see it! I thought the unicorn design is odd but nice, now THIS destroy mode is simply..just..

A MG UNICORN IS A MUST!!!!

We should send Bandai an e-mail or sumthin'. Hazel, Unicorn, these designs truly do deserve a MG treatment. Anyone got Bandai's e-mail add?

if the V2 design is tough to be made into a MG model, what chances do Unicorn have?? damn.......

ANOTHER GUNDAM WITH A DIFFERENT PAINT SCHEME??? MAN, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERF***ING PAINT SCHEME'S ON THE MOTHERF***ING GUNDAM!!

I need help!!! Either i suck, or the tamiya plaplates are a serious pain in the ass to cut... Maybe perhaps i am using the wrong tools...Here is what i've used so far-
1) Hobby Knife-broke in half trying to cut the plaplates...
2) Sicissors-Manage to cut the plaplates, but they ended up pretty ruined...
3) Jig-saw-You wouldn't even wanna know the results...

So,any advice,people?
