slaginpit Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Actually Elyn just cloned the g-system 1/72 kyshatriya and downzised it to 1/100, just compare the two and you'll see their identical, the only differences are some minor adjustments to the head. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/G-System-GS-281-1-72-NZ-666-Kshatriya-Gundam-resin-model-kit-Unicorn-robot-/290859639840 Despite it being plastic it's still a copy of a resin kit so it carriers the same issues is all i'm trying to say. wow that is really lazy then, I did not realize that they just did a straight copy of licenced third party. OH WOW. I knew that I would have never bought this kit. Jeez. even more of a reason to give these guys a negative and completely ask for a full refund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaginpit Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 One more thing I dont believe that resin has fit problems since its cold cast. Plastic is cast with heat and there expansion or contraction is an issue and thats why you need to prototype to factor those two variables. I believe if this was resin cast than it might be ok, I could be wrong tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Resin undergoes shrinkage as it cures just like plastic does as it cools, but resin cures much slower and less evenly than plastic cools so it's more likely to warp or distort. That's why having a hair-dryer or a pot of hot water on hand is a necessity whenever working with resin kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have any idea that it applied to resin kits as well, as I thought they were less prone to problems like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaginpit Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 MG Sazabi Ver. Ka., available Dec. 2013. WHY? If it eases your conscience, G-Sytems product are not officially licensed, too. Well IM confused now? Why did Sunrise sue Elyn and not G-system?? I have been to the G-system and it seems elyn is a knock of G-system more than Gunpla. So why isnt G-system suing Elyn. The inner frame seems pretty standard accross full kit Mechs in G-system and Elyn's looks exactly the same even though the YouTube presententaion makes it seem its unique. Too much copying going around and I cant tell whats fake or real anymore Maybe we should coin a new portmandu "Fareal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaginpit Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Any particular reason you bought a fish? Well IT was always my dream to own a Malaysian Gold unfortunately I dont have $8000 for a full grown one nor do I have $700 for a baby. So since I lost my silver a couple of days ago and got my Salt tank up and running I thought it would be nice to have the salt coupled with a beautiful fish in my Fresh. I thought if I got a juvenile Banja Red Raise it keep in excellent condition I could then sell it or trade it in for a RTG Arowana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsbeanz Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 So what is that and where can I buy it. It's a conversion kit for MG zaku 2.0 MSN-04 SAZABI Fomania ver Conversion I don't recommend buying one as it can't stand on its own due to being too back heavy and since the MG sazabi is coming out anyway. i'd bet a conversion kit for the MG sazabi that would eventually come out would be way nicer and have no balance problems.

slaginpit Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hardly any movement on my build. I was ever so careful with the butthole wiring does it work? heck no. SIGH! You can see here the skirt just broke off so I glued it to the hip skirt Dont laugh. I have 0 advance modeling skill. Im surprised I made it this far. BTW I am going to try to use the spare parts from my other grandams for the front skirt on the other side.I am talking about the soft pieces of plastic [/url ] IM thinking about just scraping the hole idea of electronics. The wiring just plain is so cheap there is no point Also the butt skirt has nothing to attach to??? The instructions just show it to attach it to the frame but to what? Im on my third tube of Crazy glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im on my third tube of Crazy glue I noticed they don't mention you need to swap out the parts on the inner frame with G09 & G22 to be able to get the front and back sections to fit, in the manual but you can see on step no 7 the front piece on the inner frame changes. i almost broke mine trying to fit the back piece in Edited September 1, 2013 by Jimsbeanz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems your not missing any pieces. I was thinking about painting the power cables in the legs and arms yellow and the top shoulder ones clear red. I also noticed you have the left side of the cables higher. Nice paint work too. I still notice the fit issues you have as the same as mine. DO all your lighting work?

Actually I have in total about a dozen missing mirrored pieces 4 of those i could just mod to be usable but the rest i had to wait for replacement parts to arrive. The lights all work but i broke and need to re-solder quite a few when trying to fit. The wires are just so thin i found it was very easy to break accidentally.

Phyrox Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) So, this what I'm working on currently. A head mod for the new HGUC Messala. Now I just have to disassemble it do some painting. I'd really rather farm out that part, as I hate painting...but what can ya do? The inner-head area needs a tiny bit of work still, I need to find something to replicate the mono-eye look, as just having it all black makes it look vacant rather than intimidating. Overall though, I'm really happy to finally have a Messala, AND one that can do more than stare at its feet.

I just finished the AGE-2 Orbital in slightly modified colors. Very cool. I really like Kanetake Ebikawa's work, he has a nice aesthetic sense and knows how to use simple forms and shapes really well IMO. And a lot of his AGE stuff feels like natural outgrowths of season 2 00 designs, which is cool since 00 has some of my all time favorite MS designs.
