Workshop - Panel Lining


This panel lining guide is nothing new and have been posted on many websites. I already get used to using Gundam marker doing panel lining. But I do find this method interesting using brush on a after painted kit. In case you guy haven't watch how he work on the panel lining using the Frame Arms kit, visit the official page for more!

NSG-X3 Hresvelgr=Rufus Blue Print

It nice to see Kotobukiya includes special parts in the limited weapon's runner to allow us building NSG-X3 Hresvelgr=Rufus version. While nothing much special to pay attention with because in order to build, you will need to get both NSG-04θ Weisheit θ for its weapons and NSG-X1 Hresvelgr or NSG-X2 Hresvelgr=Ater to complete it.

I just check again, NSG-04θ Weisheit θ still available!

NSG-04θ Weisheit θ Get!

When I thought you can't get the Frame Arms #S01 NSG-04θ Weisheit θ easily at eBay. Well, I finally spotted one store known as Hobby Locus and decided to grab one from them. The seller is safe to buy and mine already arrived in my post!

For your information, it is still available at their eBay store. The price is quite reasonable and almost the same price sold in Japan! But remember this is eBay, price will eventually go up in time! Happy hunting guys!

M.S.G Assault Rifle (Gift Limited) Review by Metalbox

I was hoping someone willing to risk selling the gift limited M.S.G Assault Rifle unit at eBay, well no luck so far in the finding. One thing for sure this weapon unit is only limited produced and given as a free gift during Kotobukiya promotion campaign last year on Christmas who purchase Frame Arms products over ¥4,000. If you happen travel to Japan and got it during your visiting. You are a lucky bastard!
Now, what interest me is the M.S.G Assault Rifle unit design looks very familiar with the one used by NSG-04θ Weisheit θ (theta). To make sure my eyes were correct, I spent some effort searching through the Google Japanese engine looking larger close up photos for clues. Luckily I found one Japanese toy shop website known as, Metalbox, posted the best and clearer photo reviews.


Surprisingly yes, the M.S.G Assault Rifle does indeed uses the NSG-04θ Weisheit θ (theta) weapon body molding design. It just without the any clear blade and replace with different parts to form into rifle. Meh, I want to get that rifle even more! More photos can be found at Metalbox blog!

Frame Arms: NSG-04θ Weisheit θ (theta) Limited Shop Released


Update #2 - Dalong.net get hold on NSG-04θ Weisheit θ (theta) Koto Limited shop released! We can now check out the open box page with larger photos to find out more inside details about the kits and review soon. It's really good to know we can also built both NSG-12α Kobold and NSG-25γ Strauss!

The instruction manual also feature “Secret Factor” page guiding you how to insert the limited weapons to build NSG-X3 Hresvelgr=Rufus.


Update #1 - Kotobukiya first Frame Arms limited shop released this year, November 2012. Seems like they are slowly following Bandai web limited foot step style. However, its not easy to get NSG-04θ Weiss height θ from Asia market because it only available for Kotobukiya direct shop in Japan. Nonetheless, I’m sure you can still hunt down through Google or eBay maybe for a high price.

Now, we know NSG-04θ Weiss height θ was entirely base on the original NSG-12α Kobold and NSG-25γ Strauss kit that were released last year. Aside the plastic kit painted in beautiful red, it also comes with brand new 4 sets rifle blades weapon design allow you to form burst mode style.

According to the official website, Kobold hand parts and Strauss joint parts were removed which is now replace with new hand parts that was introduced from “XFA-01 Werewolf Specter”. The reason for this to allow securely hold large weapons. Probably for the new rifle blades.
