Re: Custom HGUC 1/144 Kshatriya

It's one of these dental explorer tools:

Except that mine is a cheapo version with a plastic handle that came in little dental hygiene pack from Walgreens. I basically just use it for widening and cleaning the panel lines a bit.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

I personally disagree with that, though - I was pretty impressed with the NG 1/100 Infinite Justice Gundam I got many years ago. Me too, I bought that Inf. Justice 1/100 too because at the time it was so much better looking than the rest of the 1/100 Destiny line. ...Then the MG's announced some ye...

Custom HGUC 1/144 Kshatriya

Grabbed this kit at the same time I ordered a HGUC Kampfer and a HGUC Gaplant Hrairoo - just couldn't resist such a great looking Zeon mobile suit. I wasn't really planning on doing anything besides a bit of touch up with painting some of the details (boosters, fuel/energy pipes/cables) and then som...

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

I think it could be that people don't want to pay more if there's no benefit besides size - the draw of MG's is the additional detail and gimmicks, not just the size. Therefore, they might not be willing to spend the extra money and prefer to just wait (especially if it's one of the "main"...

Re: 1/144 Gerbera Tetra 0083 kit

That candy red makes it look like it just rolled out of the dealership :) But seriously, fantastic job man! I never get tired of seeing the Gerbera Tetra...especially if in the future we get a Master Grade (PLEASE BANDAI?) Somehow I doubt that a Master Grade is going to happen - the Gerbera Tetra a...

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

Ew, all the designs so far look hideous :( Maybe I feel that way because I've never liked the original Gundam (RX-78) design.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

Well, supporting the suit itself wouldn't be that big of a problem - the actual main body of the Kshatriya is comparable with the Sinanju, just a tad bigger. However, it's the binders that are the problem. They'll stay up just fine even without special stands - there are already 1/100 and 1/72 scale...

Re: Kayone73's Gunpla Photo Thread

What about those alligator clips? They seem especially made to fit on top of those skewers.

Re: 1/144 Gerbera Tetra 0083 kit

I've always read that use of enamels isn't recommended for plastic models because it weakens the plastic and could cause cracking - but then again I've never used it.

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

I wouldn't rule out the possibility since 0083 is being touched upon alot. But overall, your just gonna have to hold out and see. Since theres plenty of MS's that just don't come out of the dream pipe. I guess that's what I get for generally liking some "Zeon-like" designs more, lol. I'm ...

Re: Model Scale Question

Yeah, as others have said the models are made to scale - different models are going to end up being different sizes once completed depending on how large the original is supposed to be. For example, a lot of the mobile suits from Char's Counter Attack (Sazabi, Nu, Hi-Nu, etc.) are significantly larg...

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

Has anyone heard any news about whether they're going to redo any of the older kits? I'm dying for a HGUC Gerbera Tetra. It's one of the few models that I really really want and haven't yet purchased/built. I was originally just going to settle for the old 1/144 version, but a few people warned me o...
