    Yeah but how the handle is set up is kinda stupid.
    It’s a handle close to the top and another close to the bottom. What it needed was a handle and brace at the middle that connects to the arm.

    As is it’s not really even poseable.

    It’ll be an rx-78 with claws on the fingers and an emo haircut. Really dark and gritty.

    the zaku will be all in pastels and come with an optional cloth bonnet pattern.

    i´d buy that for a dollar!

    --------------------------------------------

    does anyone have experience with hlj giving surprise gifts or dhl being a jerk?

    here is the situation:

    i ordered some kits from hlj, including the ones needed for the "makeshift gunboy-like" mech i'm planning to do... total weight: almost 2kgs
    i took the chance there was discount shipping on dhl and currency exchange being a bit good to me and made HLJ sent it to me (still for almost twice the price of the kits themselves... that's no joke)
    i was expecting customs kill my wallet with an import tax due to weight (like i said, almost 2kg) but when the package arrived and that never happened.

    ok that was fine.. kinda... BUT...

    i ordered 3 more kits (2 mecha colle ships + sccs mazinger z), total weight: less than 500g.
    And suddenly i receive an email from dhl telling me i have to pay import tax for this package when it does NOT weight more than what the law says!

    or HLJ sent me something extra or DHL is being a jerk!

    for clarification i have not emailed HLJ about this yet... i kinda want to know your humble opinions first!

    Totally did not enjoy working on these weapons.

    [​IMG]

    The Amazing Strike Freedom's rifle was simply a "left-right halves" construction, so needed to remove/fill up a giant seamline that went down the middle all around the entire rifle.

    The Love Phantom's scythe is just 2 parts (scythe handle and beam blade), so tons of masking needed to airbrush the scythe handle. I am kind of happy with the beam blade; I didn't like the original clear-green, so I went with a blue instead (silver lacquer base coat, clear blue lacquer outline on the outer edges, clear blue acrylic wash on the interior details).

    Because MGs weren’t already infrequent and expensive enough.

    It's probably customs. Even when you think you know how they calculate their import taxes sometimes they're weird.
    And I suppose you're talking about DHL Express? I've shipped with em twice and both were bad experiences, now I just stick to EMS.

    I’ve come to find the Jegan is the sturdiest MG I own yet. How sturdy is he? Well, he can do this:
