I keep the boxes of most MGs and HGs; you never know when you might be entering modeling contests where they require at least the box as proof of authenticity of your entry.

The discoloration might be on the surface only. If possible try sanding down the discolored portion with a grit 800 or grit 1200 sandpaper or sanding sponge.

My bad then. Looking at the manual for 1/100 Exia, I'm not sure if the assembly for E3-E4 is reversible; I only have the HG Exia so I can't answer that for sure. Just give it a try for yourself if you can reverse the snapbuild order for those parts.

You must be referring to A3 and C4, as I don't see E3 nor E4 in step 3(2) (bottom part of the scan). If you look at step 3(3), you will need to mod part C23 so that it's locking tab with the assembled guard from step 3(2) will be on it's left instead of right side.

nope, there are no Master Grade versions of Dragonar mechs, only non-graded 1/144 and 1/100. you can check out www.hlj.com , www.rainbowten.co.jp , or www.1999.co.jp if they have stocks of Dragonar kits.

Looking at 1/100 00 Raiser's GN Sword III, it seems that in theory the Exia could hold the handle but it doesn't have the slot on the outer arm to allow that peg to go into it. In theory, it should, since the 00-Raiser's GN Sword III doesn't require a slot in the arms to be held, it has those brace...

even some older HGUCs look better than their MG counterpart. case in point: GP01 / GP01Fb. their MG versions look clunky and have no waist articulation to boot. but the HGUCs are sleek and quite posable, proportions are much better than the MG versions too.

Hello to all... Would like to share my ongoing creation. Now, I know some of you might be saying, "What? He hasn't even finished his other WIP and now he's starting another one?? A-and to think his other WIP has been inactive for so long already? And is he gonna leave it hanging again?" We...

^ What he said :D Basically just apply water on the surface then sand it down, as opposed to just sanding it down directly. Aside from what joelfinkle mentioned, this also prevents the sand dust from abrading the surface. And this also keeps the dust from accumulating on the abrasive surface of the ...

Then you'll need 3M's Sanding Sponges , specifically the MicroFine Sponges . Sanding sponges are basically flat sponge sheets that have abrasive material applied on them. The Microfine sponges ranges from grit 1200-1500, very very fine grit, used for polishing down surfaces. With wet sanding, you sh...

Well, I kinda agree with firefox on this one, I see Bandai making the Red Frame first (maybe basic + Gerbera Straight), just like how they released the basic Strike frame in PG. Then moving forward, they'd probably release an add-on or the flight pack itself, just like they released the Skygrasper +...
