wow. holy cow. the gattai gundam. arios as a big bad sword is awesome, hahahaha

lol dude... PG is definitely not for gundam beginners. The details and number of parts, it requires lotsa basic skills man. Beginners better start with HGs or NGs, cos even if they screwed up, it doesn't cost as much of a loss.

Imagine if the newbie wrecked his PG Red Frame

I agree on this one...even MG is not recommended for newbie... HG is the best...or 1/100 NG

Sorry, my bad

lol, if is just normal modeling, i start with MG

cause NG and HG is not details enough

same lor... i also start with MG... no problem at all.... after 5 MG i got my 1st PG...

yay, today i bought Hobby Japan vol April. i got free Gundam War Card: OO Gundam Seven Swords

Guys, i am wondering, is there any links or guides on how to apply stickers/decals for MG gundams around? I am seeing alot different types of stickers/decals provided but is wondering how to apply them.

Thanks.

hahaha...actually I oso start wif MG, then 1/100, then HG...downgrading lol...but tbh, MG is not hard to assemble...just need some time only since it has an endoskeleton inside it...

hi, juz started gunpla so kinda n00b here. how did the koreans did the painting for the metallic red sinanju? can somebody roughly explain?

I always get mixed up with the standard procedure when it comes to removing the lines & spraying top coats.

I mean most people spray the parts before assembling so how do you remove the lines where you have to assemble it? The only way i can think of is cut the connectors and do a soft assembling, remove the lines and paint the parts, then use glue to stick the parts together, but that is really troublesome.

Also regarding the top coat, do you spray them when the robot is assembled or part by part? As the easiest way is spray them assembled but there are parts where you don't want the top coat to reach and it would be uneven as when it comes to tight places.

I bought the original MG Nu Gundam, it came with a leaflet showing us how to Paint the SAZABI metallic red.

1st you need to buy those metallic primers, looks abit silverish, do a few layers and sand it properly using high number sand paper. Then you spray Semi Transparent Red (where you use on car model brake lights) on top of the primer. Then finally you spray a few layers of glossy top coat and job done!

questions like this ask at the Modding and Modelling thread. Wait lemme go get the link: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/703675


Lol MG Nu gundam but got show how to paint SZB? talk about Bandai's milking scheme man they'll poison u to buy the other kit as well

Was really tempted to buy the Sazabi MG kit, but the price locally is too expensive and too heavy to ship from overseas.

Then came metallic coating version, but I don't know how they look like haven't seen the actual thing in person.

Well, just in case you want to know... the old MG Sazabi is pretty notorious regarding it's proportions and articulation. Not forgetting the massive price tag as well. Here's some reviews that you might want to read first before buying the MG.

The metallic coating version costs even more but you get the same old MG with the persisting problems. But I'd say the metallic red looks so much better than the silver coating of the extra-finish Nu or other similarly coated gundams.

That's why I chose the HGUC Sazabi instead... it looks more accurate to the original bulky badass design and has better articulation than its MG counterpart. Furthermore it's much more affordable, and due to Sazabi's height it won't look out of place when placed beside typical 1/100s. Of course, the HGUC has its flaws and you don't get a skeleton with it (kinda meh actually considering that the Jagd Doga has a partial skeleton).

But you can choose whatever version you like Sazabi >>>>> Nu

Anyway, dalong.net reviews the GMver2.0... sweet.

holy crap did anyone see the teaser for gundam 00 s2 episode 23?




is that gundam 0? lolx. do you guys see what i see?

hahahahah. rx78 hybrid gn mode cute head man!

The HG Sazabi is puny. How to fight my MG Nu Gundam?

But seems I got 1 simple assembly Sazabi, the size is about same as 1/100, stands like a normal 1/60 PG Gundams. It comes with individual funnels, and the usual weapons. I forgot what series it was but it requires abit of simple assembly. Not very expensive too.

Added on March 11, 2009, 8:54 pmThe metallic sazabi looks pretty neat. The paint job is better than previous metallics.

Just curious the cutting edge, are they exposed or hidden like Hyaku Shiki? Coz if exposed we need to do some touch up on the chipped points.

Ultimately I would like to do my own Metallic Sazabi, but my current skill's not good enough for it.

basically, there are 3 types of decal/sticker.
1) Sticker. this is the standard thing that comes in HG and MG kit. HG kits are reaaaaaally typical stickers. whereas MG has those transparent background sticker.
2) dry transfers. comes in MG kits. the type where u put the decal on the plastic, then use pen/pencil/blunt object n start rubbing over the paper to transfer the decal onto the plastic.
3) waterslide decals. these are those sold separately by Bandai or those u find in airplane model kits (Non-bandai kits). the current Macross Frontier kits would have them too. to put the decal on, as the name says, u need to dip the decal into water...to loosen the glue on the decal...then slide it on the plastic. then use a cotton bud to dry out the water fr the decal. this is the shortened way to do waterslide decals. for precise application of waterslide decals...go online n dig it out. kinda lengthy to type here (aka...me lazy to type la)

There was one shown here of the 0 Gundam

Thanks alot for the tips there. Messed up a few of my dry transfers as i thought they were suppose to be those waterslide one i used to do on my Tamiya models last time. Hope i dont mess up the rest.
