all yours Gundam models are awesome..cool..I have a question.I want to know what is the deferent between MG model and HG model?I hope u can answer it.thx
Esdeeef, MG= Master Grade, HG= High Grade. MG models are more sophisticated (inner skeleton) and requires more time and patience to build than HG models. MG models are usually more expensive, bigger (but same scale as HG which is 1/100), but look a lot better and has more articulations. This is the broadest answer I can come up with. Hope that helps. ^^;
hey Z do you have any 8th MS team models and also whats your favorite gundam series mine is the 8th MS team i like the Ez8 gundam cause its a RX-79(G) that was customized for the team commander after his gundam was damaged in battle
just realized you didnt answer my other question
whats your favorite gundam series if you dont have one you like the most thats understandable theres so many its hard too choose
I love Master Grade Gundams I just wish they would release the rest of the endless waltz Gundams in a master grade format , I am demotivated to buy the HG ones.
oh, I’m definitely in for a MG Deathscythe Hell Custom :D
John, oops… missed your comment ^^;. You’re right. I actually don’t have a favorite Gundam series but not because there’s so many to choose from. Some are just “cool” at best while some outright suck.
I just made my own blog at wordpress! I just finished up a review of the MG Strike, and I plan to put in more photos. Cheak it out! If you have any advice on how to make it betta, plz contact me!
whoops… more like your first question just got buried under many other comments (that tends to happen sometimes ^^;). I wish I can answer you but I have neither. I heard way too many complaints about the Crossbone but on the other hand, the kampfer is pretty old but looks impressive nonetheless (it just can’t do much beside standing there).
Hello Z, I’ve been reading this site for quite a while. Love all your work especially the master grades(special mention to the sinanju LOL). Keep up the good work man. You even inspired me to open up my own wordpress just for gundams XD LOL I’ve just started collecting gundams. Anyway, can I link your wordpress? Hope you don’t mind =)
Wow Nu Gundam is a beast. Those die cast parts are insanely strong. Almost unreal how it holds up the cannons.
I’m looking to plan my next project, how much did you buy the Sinanju kit for? People are starting to charge ridiculously high prices and it’s going out of stock everywhere. I just don’t want to find my self paying 90$ for it in two months….
hey, since you dont have a review for the hi nu mg, is it worth the expensive price tag it has? thanks! im debating whether to get it or not, becuase all the ones i have seen are painted and i cant paint
I have a feeling he could best answer that when he finishes building it. Your best bet would be to ask someone else who might have built it. I would personally wait and have the Hi-Nu’s HGUC counterpart released and wait for someone to be able to compare the two. There’s also the already-assembled HCM-Pro version to consider.
Hey Z, love ur work and reviews on all ur Master Grades. Im just wondering if websites that sell gundam models such as Hobbyjapan is reliable. (i go to sum hobbyshop at the cities in aus and they dont hav a huge range of models. luckily found the GP03 Stamen ^^)
hobbyjapan? as in HLJ? I order stuff from time to time there. They’re pretty reliable even if they do take three days to packaged and actually ship out your item. If you’re referring to the mag, then I have no idea xD.
Hey, I’m just starting to do a little modeling. I’m wondering what kind of paint did you use for the transparent colors such as the beam saber color and scope.
@draco00
yes it will differ a lot though both are OOB builds….. i suggest you paint your models…… and for the clear parts use clear paint… the ones from tamiya…. XD
Draco, Tamiya clear colors for the transparent parts. The best way to do panel lines is whichever way you prefer the best. Be it wash, Gundam marker, or pencil. And yes it will differ because panel lining on paint gives the ink (if using g-markers) a more solid line and harder to clean.
hey men what is your secret in taking pictures of your gundams it is so clear whats is your secret men
i only have nikon d80 men pls tell what is your secret pls

November 10, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Ermm….HG is usually 1/144 scale.
November 11, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Oh yea… HG also comes in 1/144. I just collect 1/100 so I just group them together as “HG” for the sake of convenience.
December 26, 2008 at 12:43 AM
I can’t wait to see you modelled the Sinanju of KA version. It looks awesome, at least for now.
December 26, 2008 at 1:40 AM
I feel demotivated to build it as seeing the loads and loads of decals ^^;
December 26, 2008 at 3:59 AM
MG is slimmer too… put an MG strike and a HG 1/100 Strike together and u’ll notice that the HG counterpart is FAT FAT FAT!
January 7, 2009 at 1:39 PM
hey Z do you have any 8th MS team models and also whats your favorite gundam series mine is the 8th MS team i like the Ez8 gundam cause its a RX-79(G) that was customized for the team commander after his gundam was damaged in battle
January 7, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Nope, their MG models are quite old so I’ll wait for their Ver 2.0 instead if Bandai ever decides to make them.
January 8, 2009 at 12:14 AM
thats cool im gonna get the old ones any way out of love for the simplistic design and if and when the ver 2.0s come out ill get them too

February 24, 2009 at 11:13 PM
I wonder if the new OO series will release the MG grade soon. The 1/100 no grade is already so good…
March 14, 2009 at 7:03 PM
man, you are one awesome modeller. You should buy PG kits, i think you won’t have any difficulties with those
March 17, 2009 at 6:52 PM
I just made my own blog at wordpress! I just finished up a review of the MG Strike, and I plan to put in more photos. Cheak it out! If you have any advice on how to make it betta, plz contact me!

March 30, 2009 at 6:04 PM
Hey Z! The Stamen is looking great! Can you tell me how you work on a Gundam’s eyes, cause I know you don’t use the foil eyes.
March 31, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Why can’t I post?!
March 31, 2009 at 12:20 PM
Finally it worked! For some reason I’ve been unable to post comments on the blog for a few days now. What’s up with that?
March 31, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Zro, actually the eyes are the only part that I do use the foil stickers for ^^;
Acewhatever, been trying to spam? jk xD. That is strange because none of your posts have been filtered or anything.
April 1, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Ah, irony! I guess it was someone else I saw that doesn’t use the foil sticker. Either way, thanks for the feedback!
April 30, 2009 at 7:44 AM
Anyway are there any chance of an upcoming new Master Grade?
May 5, 2009 at 4:06 AM
Its a let down that you dont have cross bone X1 full cloth. My friend just bought one yesterday!
May 5, 2009 at 7:17 AM
I do have one… I just haven’t build it.
May 6, 2009 at 6:19 PM
Oh i see! Looking foward to see it!
May 17, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Guys, which one is better? The MG kamfer or crossbone version k.a?
May 19, 2009 at 12:15 AM
…No body is replying=.=. Is everyone busy or i am ignored=.=?
May 19, 2009 at 12:26 AM
whoops… more like your first question just got buried under many other comments (that tends to happen sometimes ^^;). I wish I can answer you but I have neither.

May 19, 2009 at 2:32 AM
So you mean the articulation of the kampfer sucks?
May 19, 2009 at 4:21 AM

May 20, 2009 at 3:59 PM
kkte, guess you can put it that way. I mean..it was made during the time when articulation wasn’t emphasized.
811, sure… what’s your blog? ^^
wolfenstein, somewhere around almost 70-ish? 5600 yen (I think) with EMS shipping with another model ^^;
June 5, 2009 at 7:43 AM

Melicas, doesn’t make sense to ask me when I haven’t build it xD. You can ask this guy though, he has a good thorough review: http://beamknight87blog.blogspot.com/2008/07/mg-hi-nu.html
June 7, 2009 at 1:42 PM
never mind, i bought it anyway! lol i gave into my temptation and it turns out to be a awsome model! diffenatly worth the money

July 18, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Also one more thing I forgot to mention. What is the best way to do panel lines? Also will it differ in straight build and after paint?
July 21, 2009 at 6:09 AM
@draco00
yes it will differ a lot though both are OOB builds….. i suggest you paint your models…… and for the clear parts use clear paint… the ones from tamiya…. XD

July 25, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Thanks ercjohn and Z. So, Z which do you prefer?
July 25, 2009 at 11:56 PM
I don’t really paint my parts and the parts that I do paint don’t really need panel lines soooo… xD
August 9, 2009 at 4:24 PM

November 13, 2009 at 4:53 PM
sword impulse. that is exactly what Z would say.
November 13, 2009 at 11:22 PM
^ditto xD
November 23, 2009 at 2:16 AM

December 9, 2009 at 4:17 PM
