Metal parts for MG Sinanju

[Captain Obvious]

There seems to be a lot of metal thrusters and tubes available from a lot of different vendors, does anyone have any thoughts on which would be best for the MG Sinanju?  I'm just looking to replace the tubing and thrusters, but not with anything too large.  A lot of the replacement thrusters I've seen have cool detail, but are way too big.

I'm also curious if anyone has tried photo-etched or metal transfers for the detail markings. 

And while I'm at it, does anyone have a recommended source for some of the option parts like the bazooka or beam gatlings?

Thanks!

Hey Captain,

I love HQOParts on Ebay.  That's where I got these for my Sinanju.  This is the set I used for my 1st Sinanju http://cgi.ebay.com/1-100-MSN-06S-Sinanju-Unique-Gundam-Gunpla-Metal-Parts-/320708117299?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aabb18333  The photos here are pics of my finished kit. (not the 1st one though)

I used these for my 2nd Sinanju: http://cgi.ebay.com/Gumdam-Metal-Parts-Modify-Thruster-MG-MSN-06S-Sinanju-/220692579236?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33624d83a4#ht_2690wt_1012 Here is a link to what they look like on the kit http://fichtenfoo.net/forum/index.php?topic=6085.msg62339#msg62339 These are unpainted where on the 1st ones I added the red around the edge.I also got the bazooka as well. 

Here is a link to there Ebay Store: http://stores.ebay.com/Gundam-HQOPARTS/Gundam-Metal-Parts-/_i.html?_nkw=sinanju&submit=Search&_fsub=585514017&_sid=807013387

Hope that helps
Matt

Thanks for the links on the metal parts. I just got my Ver KA Sinanju and have been looking for some metal thrusters to add to it. Only thing is I can't seem to see your picture of your build that is linked. It just bumps to the main forum index.

OOOPS!! try it now.

[beaveren]

That works now...I have actually seen your blue build a bunch through google as I have been doing searches for "sinanju blue". It dominates the search results LOL.

On a side note, does anyone have any suggestions for black water slide decals for the V.Ka?
I am playing around with the idea of doing a white or pearlish version paint scheme but the availible decals will determine that I think.

You could probably special order them from http://samueldecal.com/.

I will give it a look...thanks. Anyone ever try to make their own decals? How difficult is it I wonder?

Stores like Hobby Lobby sell water transfer and rub transfer paper you can ink jet print your own designs onto. It works well, especially if you're already skilled at applying decals.

I wish Mecha Skunk was still open..........

But I like Mochi's store...he's awesome, ships really fast, and has great prices for his parts - http://plamo-plus.com/Item/Parts-index.htm

Aww - thanks for the love!  I'm actually semi-open - I've still got a bunch of old stock (and some new items I never listed) for sale - if you want a bulk order, hit me up!

[Captain Obvious]

Fulcy, any chance you have enough stock to do a Sinanju option kit?  Like with the beads for the cables, replacement for the thrusters, and other parts that might work with that kit.

[fulcy]

I no longer carry the beads (they weren't popular), but I more than likely have plenty of stock to replace the thrusters.  Unfortunately, I just moved, and all my stock is at the old house, so I won't be able to let you know exactly what I have until I go over there.
