that's really discouraging..... how about the G Saviour 1/144 kit? can anyone provide me feedback on that? 
for me it looks like a regular mix of F90/F91 designs.

@no3ljm

thanks! i'll pass by toy town and check it out. ;d

Just some updates on my MSIA collection: MSIA Black Tri-star Custom Zaku I (posed along with MSIA Zaku II, also Black Tri-star Custom)  Now, just need one more to make it a trio. Hehe.  A few ramblings about the figure though is that it can't seem to hold its weapon right. He holds the guns awkwardly on his right hand and can't seem to get a firm grip on the heathawk. Takes mucho patience to pose this guy properly.  And a 2nd BuCue to form up my Andrew Waldfeld squad. ;D  ;D   Just downloaded & watched the 1st part of Gundam Seed Special Edition and the fight between Strike and the LaGowe still amazes me. It's too bad that the LaGowe lost but it was cool either way. Kinda reminds me of the battle between Amuro Ray and Ramba Ral during the UC 0079 Gundam ;D |

Update on my 1/144 Strike Noir ;D Already finished building the main unit. Been working on it for a week and had to redo most of the detail painting. Haven't built the Noir pack yet still i'm waiting for the paint to dry so this is all I've got so far.     Sorry if some of the pics are blurry. Didn't have time to reshoot them. I'll just shoot clearer ones once the Noir pack is built and mounted. Thanks for viewing! ;D |

good job on the strike. i just wish there is a 1/100 version of that. thats the only prob with 1/100 kits. they are limited. as to 1/144 you get as much as you can. anyway there is a 3 headed bacue to be release this nov. you can add that to ur collection. also the stargazer gundam looks nice. again a 1/144. what a bummer. atleast they are coming up with 1/100 savior. and rumors of an abyss and gaia soon. just my opinion. and what is the special edition seed? huh?

considering that its quite easy for bandai to release a verde buster and a blu duel (since the core units already have moulds, all they have to do is make moulds for the new parts) i wouldnt be surprised if they came out soon. usually the 1/144 scale releases are the "testing of the waters" before they decide to come out with a 1/100 version if demand is high, thats when they'll strike.
strike noir is different though, although its a strike there are still a lot of aesthetical differences compared to the original. but i wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt released on 1/100 format - it is the 2nd star of the show, after all.

@snap
thanks! i have it displayed at the office right now. i'll have to re-touch some of the paint on the unit though as some of it seem to chip off as soon as they dry. wonder why that happens....

sir quattro03 question po, how did you do the panel lines for the black tri stars and the noir?  |

@no3ljm
nope. not yet. haven't had the time. i'll probably do re-touches as soon as time allows and then spray clear paint on it as top coat. do you think that would help?
@carlo
on the noir, i used a gray fine tip gundam marker for the panel lines and mostly handpainted the rest.
the black tri-star custom zakus are msia's and are pre-made. i didn't panel line those.

MSIA Rick Dias Black version   ala-Castor Troy/Strike Noir pose with his two beam guns.  with clay bazooka and beam saber. (as shown in the box...hehe)  has good poseability and balance. kindy goof looking though.  Scene just before the Opening episode of Zeta Gundam: Quattro: Roberto, where's Apolly? We gotta get this Gundam series rolling! Roberto: Quattro, sir, here he comes now....  Apolly: Reporting for duty sir! Quattro: What the? Roberto: Uh, Apolly, you need a BIGGER mobile suit.... Quattro: I'm going ahead. When you get the correct MS, follow me!  Roberto: What were you thinking???!!!! Apolly: It was the only suit available! Roberto: Go back to the Argama and change! We'll be late for the start of the series. Now we have to go on after the commercial!   MSIA vs HCMPro Got these two today to start off on as soon as I finish retouches on my Strike Noir:  Thanks for viewing! ;D ;D |
