Bandai should follow this with a MG of the Turn X!

I paint all my MG kits: 90% airbrush, 5% gundam markers, 5% good ol' paint brush.

The latest fad in Japan is to not paint the kits and make it look like they are, or something like that. Read about it at Dannychoo's blog: No-paint technique

I prefer to paint them 'cuz it lets me hide mistakes (within limits, of course) I might had made during build up.

MG Zaku II ver. 2.0 review at Dalong.net: Click me!

Something totally unexpected? hmm......G SAVIOUR

Ew.

Unexpected...? How about a 1/100 MG Methuss?

.50....Nah. I want a more lasting effect. Toss me the 120mm HEAT rounds. I gots me a animation studio to hit.

Seriously...a rock band? I think I feel my breakfast coming back up...

[Ripley] I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. [/Ripley]

Just got the 1/100 Akatsuki. Might not be a MG kit, but it's darn near close IMO.

Also got the MG Zeta 3. Not much to say about it except that if you're skillful enough to paint the pink markings, save your money and just use a MG Zeta v2.

The popular choice for #100 on the 2ch boards is Turn A.

I can live with that.

Although I was secretly hoping for a MG Stargazer...

Nope. the Zaku II ver. 2 is #97. Zeta 3 is #98. The likely suspects are RX-78-2 ver. 2, or some Amuro or Char (Zaku II ver. 2 or Nightingale) mech. Other possibilities are Turn A, V/V2, or Destiny.

What does yer crystal ball say about #100 maybe being Gundam X or Double-X?

Schweet. Must buy.

I don't think that's the final box since it says "ZGMF-1000" on the bottom....It should read "ORB-01"...

That, and the missing "s" on Akatsuki.

Here's the Hildolfr: Box & model

And the Akatsuki "full set":

No problem.

BTW Grand Cannon, I don't know what event the pics are from. Found them in an overseas gundam forum I frequent but there was no info (that I recall) about the event.

Damn. I was kinda hoping that it was an MG, considering the price.

Oh well.

So, is the Akatsuki a mastergrade or not?! Gunota lists it as just a 1/100 kit, but HobbySearch has it listed as an MG...

Question is which one is right.

1/100 Akatsuki......Did I not say it?

MG Strike Noir....Talk about milking Strike....Why won't they make a MG Akatsuki???? It uses a Strike frame....

Indeed.

So... when does your crystal ball predict we'll see an MG Destiny, MG Legend and MG Infinity Justice? And if you throw in next weeks winning lottery numbers, I'll split it with ya.

So azrael, what are your MG predictions for next year?

According to R10, the "special option" version of the MG SF includes the following:

MG STRIKE FREEDOM + Plated Joint parts + Jet effect parts + Adjustable Display Stand + Original Poster + Original Booklet!

I'm assuming the "jet effects" are for the funnels, like on the HG Shiranui Akatsuki.

That link mentions "new color" and shows a dry brushed chest area on the strike IWSP. What does this mean...that it comes pre-painted like that?

Dunno. I'll tell ya once mine arrive in a few weeks.

Dalong.net has pics of the MG Strike w/IWSP as well as the 1/100 Saviour Gundam: Linky1, Linky2

Getting rid of some extra stuff I won't get a chance to build. Here's the link: My auctions

Hopefully y'all will find something you need. Thanks.

There are reasons why Renton is such a whiner and Holland is so abusive. Keep watching, because there is a payoff coming for all of this.

Let me guess... Holland is gonna corner Renton, beat the living snot outta him, and then tell him: "I AM YOUR FATHER!"

Hmm... what about running Windows inside of your Mac, and then using VLC viewer in there to look at the .mkv files?

I don't own a Mac, but from what I know, you can run WinXP inside of the latest Mac O/S.

Just a thought...

I like the show, although Renton is too much of a whinner at the beginning, which almost made me quit watching around episode 10.

Now I'm really starting to hate Holland and his abusive behavior, not only towards Renton but towards just about everyone around him. He needs to die, the sooner the better.
