I haven't made my final posting, which will be a grouping of the completed models; however, I wanted to share with you all some more relics from the past! A couple months back I had posted about my 1/144 Wing Gundam and now here are the rest of the original Gundam Wing Units: 1/144 Gundam Deathscythe1/144 Gundam Heavy Arms1/144 Gundam Sandrock1/144 Gundam ShenlongI will update this opening post when I post the final part of the project, which unfortunately will have to wait until I get real internet back at my apartment. I'm teathering my smartphone right now...  EDIT! Finally got the final post done! Link!Sorry for the delay, I just moved and was without actual internet for a bit. _________________ Until Next Time: Happy Building! -Joe Joe's GunplaWant to Buy LM Leo or Taurus from Gundam Wing, built or unbuilt!

I've been reading your blogs about your Wing Project and despite the problem you had with the cement (I've been there), I'm still impressed with the end results.
One thing I like about those 1/144 NG kits is how the knees are double-jointed. Hypothetical question: If the upper leg (connecting to the hip) was facing the wrong direction (e.g. 2 left legs), AND cemented, how would you fix it?

Yay! I have a reader! Thank you, I'm glad to know you are impressed. As for your hypothetical question, I actually did cement the arms of my Nataku Custom (Decemeber Model-A-Month) with the wrong poly-caps in the shoulders! Luckily, I caught that before the cement had time to fully cure. If something like that were to happen, I would use a small saw blade and re-cut the seam line. Disassemble the part afterward and carefully fit it back together correctly. There would be a gap between the pieces, however, or else the part would appear thinner than it should provided nothing impeded the parts going back together completely (like the knee joint p-cap). I would have to either place a bit of thin styrene sheet between the parts and trim it down or use epoxy putty to fill the gap. I'm curious as to why you asked? Did you spot something I missed on one of my Gunpla? I have missed more obvious things  _________________ Until Next Time: Happy Building! -Joe Joe's GunplaWant to Buy LM Leo or Taurus from Gundam Wing, built or unbuilt! Willing to pay big!

Aside from hobby knives and Exacto blades, the only other cutting tools I use are a dremel with various bits and the saw I used on the MG Gyan's hands. That saw blade is very handy (no pun intended). _________________ Until Next Time: Happy Building! -Joe Joe's GunplaWant to Buy LM Leo or Taurus from Gundam Wing, built or unbuilt!

I don't remember exactly which episode. Syd had used some Tamiya scribing saw blades to cut the fingers apart on the MG Full Armor Gundam, so it was one of the earlier episodes of that series they did.
As far as I know, the blade I used is Excel brand, it came out of a clear tube with a red stopper, like the tubes Excel uses now. Like I said in my post, the tool box it came out of is a decade old or older, so I don't know if they still make that blade. I can't see why they would stop though, it's very handy!
