I see, well in that case I must congratulate you on a job well done. In my
opinion the 06 and 07 trully lack any non-functional elements. Sadly, this is
exactly were Gundam Wing and Gundam seperate, so in my mind the 04, 05, 02, 01,
03, 06 and 07 are my favorite Dark Gundams.

Thanks for explaining, that image tells it all! Sadly, I have little knowedge
on anything from Z Gundam to V Gundam, perhaps it would be wise for me to go
through all of the images stored on Gundam.com and familiarize myself better.
Your modifications to the system are excellent! I am really curious to know
exactly how much extra movement is allowed by this design.
I thought you Gundam days were over? I am quite interested to see what MS you
will have for the other series.
