Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

do i assume rg exia is 2500yen as quoted on websites?

because thinking is it better to buy astrea conversion (1900yen) and paint into astrea f2 and buy another astrea f (4300yen)
so can get 2 astrea-f by spending 8700yen (2500+1900+4300)

or just buy 2 astrea f for 8600yen

so the price of rg exia determines whether what to buy conversion or not

just curious.. why not get the ECOAS kit?

I did consider that option before, and then I heard about something like u cant replicate the d type completely or along that line. Any idea what is it that cant be replicated?

you can.. the chest and head for jegan D is included in the runners for the ecoas. those are the only 2 difference.

Also you can repaint it in normal jegan colors if you want, though imo the ecoas' color scheme is nicer.

disclaimer: I like the ecoas kit more and the above are hearsay for me as well. you can check dalong.net if you want to double confirm.

just bought a set of MS Cannon 01. Anyone tried these yet?

Wanted to use it for my RGs but realise there weren't any suitable connection short of drilling holes for the pegs; the set seems better suited for HGs . Looks like I'll need to get some HGUC to play with this.

Qns about recasting
I plan to make a copy of the backpack parts of Crossbone Maoh, in particular, I want to copy the arm-like thing that holds the 2 beam saber-like item.

How do I go about doing this?
my current plan is to use some mould to get the shape and then use putty to recast the entire thing.
but im worried about the strength of the recast.
would it be able to stand up to the normal manipulations that the original parts can take?
i wouldn't want the recast parts to break just from simple manipulation >.>

any help?
