What's the difference between spelling MG gundam and spelling HG gundam?

From the name point of view, HG=High Grade, if it reaches the level of the model, it is an advanced component. The ratio of HG is generally 1: 144 and 1: 100. Some components of 1: 60 (note that some components of 1: 60 are not PG, although the ratio of PG is 1: 60, it is either 1: 60 or PG) can actually be regarded as an enlarged version of HG, because although the ratio is large, there are not many internal components. HG is more suitable for beginners, and its time to market is very fast, which can be regarded as the front wave in the offensive of Gundam model market.

MG = master's degree, that is, master's degree. MG's body is generally the main engine or a well-known body, and the level of mold opening is very high. The body of MG is generally refined and scaled on the basis of the original body design to make it look more harmonious and fashionable. There are also versions 2.0 and Ka of MG. 2.0 is a replica of some MG that have already made the body of MG models. On the basis of the original work, the scale and details have been adjusted, which can even be said to be the reopening of the model, such as RX-78, RX- 178 Mk-II, Zeta and so on. Ka version refers to the template designed by Hajime Katoki. In addition to the model, he also completed the mechanical design of many works in the animation series. Ka version is mainly characterized by beautiful shape and beautiful body proportion, but it is still a little different from the prototype after all.

HG is easy to assemble and relatively cheap. Many organisms, even 1: 100, can be bought soon after they appear in the animation, which is a boon for those who want to start at the first time. Of course, after all, HG has less details and internal structure, and its activity and beauty are still worse than that of MG. But now HG is also moving closer to MG, gradually getting rid of the strong feeling of large-scale model toys in the past. If you have confidence in your own production level, if you carefully build a model of HG, the effect will not be much worse than that of MG.

MG, compared with HG, has a much larger number of plates, usually between ten and twenty, because of the internal structure and details. The most important thing of MG is the internal skeleton structure. Although compared with PG, the skeleton structure of MG is slightly simpler, but the overall effect of MG's body looks closer to the body image in the animation, which is very aesthetic. Moreover, MG is attached more than HG, which is also an important part of improving the details. However, the assembly of MG is more complicated than that of HG, and the technical requirements are relatively higher. For example, the incision must be flat, and the exit must be flat. The least painting is to paint matte paint on the hook, which reflects the beauty and value of the MG body.

In fact, the tools used to assemble the two models are basically the same, at least including oblique nose pliers (cutting parts), pen knife (cutting off the nozzle), fine file and sandpaper (grinding the stitching marks). If you don't want to paint and wash the line yourself, you'd better prepare a special oily hook pen, black or gray. The basic assembly of MG is not difficult. As long as you have these tools and basic technologies, you can achieve the desired effect of MG. If the technical level is relatively high, it may be necessary to fill soil, rubber sheet tape, slip joint glue, etc. To deal with the joint line and the exit, even the parts should be self-reformed, and special painting tools should be used to recolor the car body according to your own requirements.

MG feels really good. I recommend a try. In fact, technology is not a problem, and more models and more exercise can improve it. Although MG is a little more expensive than HG, it is worth it.
