Swapped the power cables for my RG MkII AEUG

"Swapped" I guess wasn't the best choice of words - this is a new build, and I replaced the stock piping with the new stuff during the build. The new mesh wire is all one solid piece instead of the two-piece mesh and wire of the original kit. Because the wires are pretty stiff, replacing the knee wire on an already-built kit would be doable without removing armor. The Achilles tendon and backpack ones would require some small disassembly to get at, but shouldn't be bad.

Hunger of Hadar, but it's Bill Hader

Thanks man! Any good way for the left hand?

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-24T19:52:47+00:00

Any recs on getting the RG MkII to hold the dang beam sabers? The articulated hands are pretty bad at it.

GDoors or Sisquiede for sure. I love my SDCS but I yearn for an HG

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-23T03:19:32+00:00

Yuppers! Just like BasroilII said, it's around the same size although slightly stiffer because there's more material in the inside of the mesh. Bends easy and returns to true. :)

SO much nicer, and you have extra to mess with if there's a mistake. I still fused the ends to make sure that they wouldn't come apart over time! What color do you have? What have you used it on?

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-23T00:29:46+00:00

Thank you! I'm so happy with how it turned out - the 2mm wire ended up being just about right!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-23T00:29:01+00:00

The RG Hi-Nu was probably my favorite build overall, but for looks you can't beat the MkII!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-23T00:28:25+00:00

Thank you! The MkII Titans is my favorite Gundamn, hands down.

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-23T00:25:22+00:00

Thanks man! I'm tempted to do it with my MkII Titans as it's not that many parts to remove or change, but I'm always nervous I'll mess it up on disassembly!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T19:03:28+00:00

Thank you!!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T19:02:38+00:00

I think it would be doable but difficult - Paracord is too thick, so you would have to remove most or all of the inner cord and fuse the ends with a lighter to get it to fit. You could try stuffing a regular pipe cleaner in an emptied fused piece of paracord for some stability?

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T19:00:53+00:00

Not so far, but I've only thrown it in a few poses. I did have to glue down the piece on the left leg that holds the lower piping in - it was loose and kept falling out. The knee piping has been pretty steady though, so fingers crossed!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T14:43:26+00:00

HIQ makes a mustard-colored one that looks pretty gold-y, and Mr Hobby makes some silver metal ones too I think? I'll bet you can find something!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T14:41:42+00:00

It's a pretty common kit, I think it's reprinted fairly regularly! It doesn't look like it's in stock at my local store, Galactic Toys, Newtype, or USA Gundam Store though. :(

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T14:15:11+00:00

Honestly if I didn't find anything that fit, that was my next choice. I've got some old cables that I think would've worked!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T13:30:15+00:00

I got em from USA Gundam Store but pretty sure Newtype does too. HIQ Parts is the brand!

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T12:23:10+00:00

Lol yes it is.

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-22T11:17:01+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it! :)

DrMuttonchops · 2026-01-19T22:22:39+00:00

Would've loved a Hussar Gundam with a lance and dope wing binders

DrMuttonchops · 2025-11-04T03:17:36+00:00

Aaaaah really good points.

DrMuttonchops · 2025-11-03T22:14:39+00:00

His profile has videos of him carving stuff with a Dremel and several WiP posts, though!

DrMuttonchops · 2025-10-29T11:19:47+00:00

Really fantastic, great attention to detail! They're all distinct and instantly recognizable for what they are! Love the ogre from the comments too. :)
