hi morgenthau,

May I know what type of compressor you are using ?? how big the saiz ?? 1/8 hp ?? got tank or not ?? I want to look for 1 at home to do, instead going to workshop to do.

Those were the days...

oh great...so where is the website link ??

thanks my man

well, the reason they are selling cheap is that possiblility they order in bulk, it is cheaper.

But bear in mind, the handling charges is very expensive, almost can buy another models...

Yes...you are definitely right. The handling charges is base on the weight. If can, buy from shopping centre shops. If not, you have to pay extra $$ for the delivery cost and it is a pain.

Until today, I just manage to do some of the saber tiger parts


The below photo is NOT mine I got it from one of the website and copy down only



only from here down, these are my work....
Putty putty putty


The Body




Tail part


Upper weapon


The fore leg




Middle Part - putty putty putty


Claws - I completed all 4


so many things havent finish yet..I have a long way to go ...

The back leg not yet done !! this is because I study the manual, it is very tough and time consuming...
The head, to me I always put last, even for Gundam model. Cos the head is more critical. I want to be more careful when doing it.

Comments are most welcome.

Xnyhc73, ahtiven and Ed , thanks for the nice compliment, but I do appreciate if you all can give some comment. such as where did I go wrong and which one should construct 1st.

Ed, your saber tiger the red part is very very red, colour very striking I wonder why my red part looks like chocholate colour.
Your tiger possing is very impressive. Your work also very impressive, i can see that the cutting part very nice, no marking at the sprue.

kindredd, many thanks to you the comment and advice you give, it is true the painting process is as unlike MG gundams
while I was building it, I wonder how am I going to paint it !!!
Before I paint I now already liao

Thank you kindredd for the comment

Yes, I do aware of that,Gundam parts also have it. The only thing is to use sand paper to sand it to make it even.
Tips : use nail filing to sand it off OR use ice cream stick, then put double sided tape on and stick your sand paper grad 1500-2000, cut into the stick saiz then sand it.

Btw morgenthau, thanks for the compliment but I do really appreciate if you can advice me , your work also very impressive too.
If I have any wrong doing, please comment, I like that. I am not perfect. Just apply what I know only..

Ed work also very interesting, He is the hard core ! The pro, I hope my leave is been approved so that I can go and see his master piece!!

YOU all are very humble people especially ED

It is a great honour to know you all, every one of you ....

Yesterday Nite took some photos before go to sleep...

Tools I am using

The sponge file is from HLJ, I bought it online

The Core as usual ( putty putty putty )




Neck


The assmble part, well....NOT all completed, just the body only








I put it back in the cupboard with the rest of my models



Below photo is Geno Breaker and Black saber tiger...I wraped it up and put it up at
my cupboard. Dont know when I can start since this red saber tiger giving me so much
Pain... .Anyway, It is a challenge, HMM is really very detail.


In My opinion, Hmm models are very details, Even a very small parts also require to assmble.This is the challenge.
For me, The leg and the head is the most difficult part cos it requite a lot of attension to do so. especially the claws, the direction
have to be correct. Before I do any assembly, I study the manual. It takes me some time to which one is critical and which one is
not.

Thanks for seeing my work and comment are most welcome.

well....Cole Turner, Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I do agree the word you used. Patience is required.

sometimes, It is really tiring. I have to agree with that...

yes, Thats The challenge...HMM is a lot more parts to assemble, I feel that it is more worth to buy HMM...I too also shock...You have see the saber tiger yet. However, Geno breaker even more parts, BIG and small parts involve...hehe
Thats why I at this moment refuse to invest Gundam...maybe later...next year or totally no involvement..I dont know yet...

@ ED - my red saber tiger is not done yet, just left the rear leg and head only...Still got a long way to go

well, you can always refer to HLJ FAQ . Just click and you can get all your answer you want.

EMS is better cos they will give you tracking number so that you know where is your item location at the present moment.
So, you dont have to worry about losing your item.

Lets not talk about the cheapest most reliable but most important things is getting your things safely to your hand.

oooh.....I see

Then go for it, you have our moral support

You wont regret buying any HMM models...

OOh...then you should get MK II , sometimes, I do feel like add another few bucks to get something worth while....

it is ok brother, dont rush, just be patient later on you will get something better.

Sometimes, I feel that pay a little extra money and a bit of patience will get something even better...

Hai riderTEKRAN,

please dont worry about putty, paint and glue needed....Look at ED's work. He is also doing the master piece. Ed is doing a great job also. He doesnt have to use any of those putty and others and yet, he is doing a fantastic job.

I am just being fussy If I have to admit

HMM...YOU wont regret doing it. If you have any question you can post here and I am sure everyone here will be glad to answer you.

wah...so much info. ED is the Pro man...
