I think I figured out an easier way. The thumb and forefinger were fused together with plastic, so I cut between them and now it holds the gun.



That's exactly what I had to do with mine to fix the same problem, haven't had an issue since.

I have a bunch un-done but I fairly regularly built them till I got tired of not having a proper area to do so in. Cramped computer desk in a messy room leads to questions like "where the gently caress did both of the hazel's head sensor pieces go" and whatnot. Once I can get a good desk and maybe even a little paintbox for summer I'll be back at it. :colbert:

It's the Woundwort. I actually kind of like the design, especially the mobile armor form. It does seem ridiculously out of place, though, given how sleek its design is compared to the clunkiness of pretty much every other mobile suit at the time. Which is a problem with all the Advance of Zeta mobile suits.

It's only a problem if you hate super sleek prototypes out the rear end. :c00l:

I'd buy like a dozen Woundwarts if we ever get an actual HGUC or such of the drat thing because I loving love it.

MGs that I would consider "bad" or otherwise less than desirable:

- Gouf Custom (weirdly put together and not very sturdy)
- Kampfer (ditto, one of the cheapest-feeling kits in the line)
- GP-02A (structural integrity leaves much to be desired)

:negative:

Hearing that the Ez8 is solid makes me smile though.

I hope the Buster is solid as a brick because I seriously may just break down and buy it anyway as my first MG because I adore the design.

You might also look into Titan models from Warhammer 40k, perhaps. I'm not sure how many out there require assembly/painting/etc but I'm certain there's at least a few high quality ones like that.

Ironically enough I bought that from someone on this very board a while back. If I were to build it today it really would be a shame; I'm holding back on it till I can give it the treatment it deserves.

I still have an unbuilt Kampfer HGUC from the very first batch of Gunpla I ordered a few years ago for just this reason, it's one of my favorite suits and I don't wanna do it until I can at least have a space to do things like prime and paint it and whatnot. :unsmith:

Of course, right now I don't even have the space to just build period so :smithicide:

Are they releasing updated versions of SEED stuff to go along with the HD remakes? Hopefully some of the grunt suits get the treatment too in that case.

Forget about the 3.0, this is looking amazing. They haven't announced every kit from the show yet have they? The HG Gold Frame, Zogok and Doben Wolf are the only ones I hadn't heard about before the show started. And the 3.0 I guess, which got announced the day before? I'm hoping for some upcoming RGs/MGs still.

Is that an MG 2.0 Kampfer?

Likewise here, I really loved 00 S1 and think the whole green-particles, GN drive and condensors all over the MS is really cool.

Stargazer could make a cool MG. :swoon:

Stargazer kitbash with a GN drive or two and Exia Repair II's GN Sword.

The GN Sword and variants are another guilty pleasure, switchblade style mechanisms are so cool. :allears:

All Gundam man, you gotta take advantage of those universal polycaps.

Speaking of monstrosities, during my club's meeting this week I dropped my V2's face and pretty much gave up on finding it after forty minutes of searching. One of the members offered to give up one of her kit's heads (she was building the HG Shining, and didn't really care for the transformed face). Cue an on-the-spot kitbash of the V2's torso, the Shining's head and arms, and the Double X's bottom half. Sadly I didn't take pictures, but it fit together fairly well all things considered.

Oh, and I found the V2's face literally two seconds after I walked over to open a door for somebody. Karma exists!

You should get pics of this horror when you can, kitbashes are the best. :allears:

Yeah, they're sadly underwhelming for how awesome they are.

At least in G Gen there's the cool animation after the fact that has whatever Crossbone got hit whipping it off and throwing it aside, at least if memory serves.

The safety nub on the horn kind of gives it away.

I actually dig the safety nubs on the horns/vfins on HG kits. It gives them a little more pop and substance up top.

Also I think that gundam poo poo its pants.
