I don't know how long it's been since my last update... Here's what I have been working on MG Strike with Sword Weapons pack (If any of you have a Launcher Strike gimme a buzz I have yet to acquire the parts for Launcher MOD) Back Pack Not really that snug of a fit but close enough Here's what has been put on HOLD - RX78-4 The Huge Beam Rifle makes it a bit unstable. Will be tightening it's joints when I start painting it. Hence no V antena. It might break if it falls ;D

The 1/100 HG Destiny is pretty good for an HG kit. Just requires a lot of modding. I think it's fairly Obvious that I have been busy this Holy Week ;D. However taking on 3 projects at the same time might be bitting more than I could chew. What the heck If you have this Kit you'll notice that the wings are small and short. I have seen lots of Harcore mods and they look pretty cool, however I didn't want to stray away from it's original design just improve it's flaws. Mods done 1. Open Palm Hands 2. Wings 3. Chest 4. Side Skirt extension (not done) 5. Feet (Haven't decided it will most likely be extended and narrowed a bit like those of the Strike) I also wanted to mod the shoulder but got a nifty set of decals that I wanna put on it's shoulders so scratch that idea... What do you guys think???

your mods is looking good. but is it necessary? is it really that flawed? Well let me rephrase that... not really flaws but misproportions, inconsistencies that plague the sub MG line. Don't get me wrong this line is improving and I am quite impressed by it's evolution. The exclusion of the wings of light is a big NO NO. I will be cutting some acrylics to create that effect after I'm satisfied with my mod. xentar: You me both pal I also wanna see how this turns out also, but of course this will take a while than building it out of the box ..

thats one reason, another is sheer evil marketing strategy.
i release a 1/100 scale destiny with "limited edition stand", and a month later i release an hggs destiny with clear wing effect thingies, cooler manipulators and cooler boomerang design.
henceforth each scale has its own uniqueness that would lead buyers to rush in.
its like how honda did it with its civic/crv - release the basic variants, then next year release the SiR/VTi-S types.
