yf19vsyf21 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi all. Is there any news if VGundam or V2 going MG any time soon? I kinda hoped to see it after F91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I haven't bought a Gundam in years, but if that Unicorn Gundam actually does transform like it looks to, *and* has LED's I am so buying it. Clear parts like that are worthless if they don't actually light up----pink chrome or your basic "transparent paint over silver paint" would have looked better in that case. LED's are so common in MG/PG, and with the new itty-bitty semiconductor ones being cheaper and more popular than just a few years ago, it could have tons of them everywhere. (of course, wiring is still an issue--maybe it'll have wires throughout the skeleton, like a nervous system) Still---if it lit up, wouldn't they have shown that by now?

GRAND CANNON Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Still---if it lit up, wouldn't they have shown that by now? Yeah. While I would also love to see a lit-up special edition, previously released kits were released at the same time as the regular editions. --- i.e. Full Burst Strike Freedom and Extreme Blast Destiny --- So, needless to say, it appears doubtful one will show up.

DeeJay Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I want to get into painting Gundam models, especially after some of the awesome customs I've seen recently. Has anyone used Tamiya spray paints for plastics, and can they recommend for or against? I have an old Badger single-action airbrush too; we bought it over 12 years ago to screw around with doing t-shirts, but that never came to fruition (since we sucked at trying to figure out paint type, thickness, etc). Would anyone be willing to advise on using it, as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Tamiya spray cans are the best spray cans out there. If that doesn't work for you, nothing else will be better/easier. As for airbrushes---MW's own wm cheng uses a basic single-action Badger 200. I think airbrushing is pure skill and experience---personally I've never seen a "really good" person use a fancy double-action Iwata or anything. They use 20-year-old stuff, and the results are from sheer practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 To be fair, the advantage a double action AB can give you over a single-action is /huge/ if you can train yourself to it... it IS alot of skill and practice more than technology, but the benefits to a skilled ABer of double-action can be big. It's alot more flexibility if you're willing to take the extra time to get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I use a double action AB only for transparent paints, where I need good control over the layer thickness. Everything else is done with my trusty single action Badger 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrael Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 And for you 00 fans, Dalong.net has the 1/100 Exia up. At least Bandai is taking the time now to clean the lineart and make proper proportions for their 1/100 kits now. And BTW, 1/100 Kyrios and 1/100 Dynames are also coming. I'll just wait for an MG of those. The GSD 1/100s left a bitter taste in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrael Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 IIRC, the original MG (ver. 1) was a nightmare. Posing was poor. Proportions were wrong. Most of that was fixed in ver. 1.5. Ver. Ka brought a stable frame. OYW editions brought a new range of posing to the MG line and now we have ver. 2, which should fix most of the problems they had with the RX-78-2.

konimon Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This Gundam kit reviewer received a MG Unicorn store sample kit. There are 20 sprue trees and transformation manual is about 4 pages long. The reviewer noted there are so many tiny parts and the kit in fact features perfect transfomation. It is made entirely of ABS, no poly-caps (soft joint parts) like other recent MG kits. He updates his site every day, so stay tuned... http://blog.goo.ne.jp/ossan-obahan1-2/e/e3...42c733f6bae3ce8 I haven't built Gundam kits for a while, but this might put me back to PG like hell.....
