dammit vic, you're making tears come out of my eyes out of sheer awe...
1. how's the "frame" that supports the weapons system? is it fragile or something like it wont be able to handle the combined weight of the weapons system when loaded altogether?
2. WTF, it can stand alone carrying the whole weapons system?!?!
3. does the long beam cannon have issues of warping/bending like the deep striker's?

WTF, it can stand alone carrying the whole weapons system?!?! 3. does the long beam cannon have issues of warping/bending like the deep striker's? Hehe, nwayz to answer the questions bro: 1.It is very stable. I can say it is not fragile (the Weapon System frame), the plastic is pretty strong to hold everything on the system.. 2.Yes, it can ;D . But it will lean backwards, luckily, the joints of Stamen are strong. Just try to stand him leaning forward and it will stand still. 3. No, I don't think it will happen. The plastic is light (the barrel and made of ABS I think), unlike the Deepstriker, made of soft PVC. The only drawback I encountered was one of the missile pod holder can't hold the pod. Maybe it will need a bit of glue to make it stiff and hold the pod. It will not be a problem but it is loose. Also the shoulder articulation of Stamen is limited when you use the extendable arms. Overall, a must have! Together with the Deepstriker, they will be unstoppable, and great display presence! vic01

Just finished! Here you go! Weapon Bays Simply the best! Length is 39" from tip to tip!!!!!! GP03S I did some seams removal Have you seen Gundam Evolve 4? I like the scene where Stamen dropped off his Beam rifle then began to dock the Dendrobium Orchis! Docking! Locking! Locked That's all for now. I need some decals since the kit doesn't contain any decals. Will paint it after my finals. Thanks for viewing! vic01

Thanks guys! Yup, it is much bigger than the Meteor. Also the 1/144 HGUC GP03S is included. I bought it on my local store for $350, at least no tax. I found one on convention before for $250, I should have waited for it. Nwayz very great for display. Hard to find nowadays, and if you ever find one, so expensive. And if you buy online, take note of their shipping! It will be more or less a hundred bucks for it! I also have complains on this kit. The micromissile pods were hard to take off the container. The spring-mechanism inside the bay gets stucked up sometimes. I might consider to fix it. Also the stand doesn't have locking mechanism for the Orchis. It just sits there but in angle to prevent from falling or tipping off. It is ok but it is much better if the base really holds the monster. I will post some pics later with the Meteor. Meteor is nothing compared to this MA! Freakin heavy coz of additional metal parts, and lots of plastic parts. I can't wait to paint it! vic01
