  1. These Walkure Valks remind me of the Hase Idolmaster planes. It's no surprise to anyone hase continues to recycle molds with new decals
  2. The 1/48 pilots came in they're pretty good. The male pilots won't fit so easily since their arms get in the way, but the female pilots work really well and you can't really tell beween them and the male pilots unless yo look at their waists and hips which are obscured by the valkyrie. Only thing that could be better is if the male pilots also had their arms to the sides like the fem pilots imho
  3. Wow that sucks to hear. Washing the parts is always a good idea, as well as using a good primer. I've had so many weird reactions to tamiya panel line wash that I always use flory's. Clay never killed anything. :0

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I Just nabbed it on Anime Export. I literally only have 1 VF-31 from Delta, and the Silpheed valk was too good to pass up
  5. Just got my new order from Mandarake... got some old Hobby-Base Ma.k 1/35 figures
  6. Tomytech 1/144 line is about as casual as you can get but still with good results. You still need a tiny bit of superglue, but the modelling involved is nowhere near as involved as building up a Hase and there's no painting or decals to mess with as all the detail is already tampo-ed on. HLJ has a bunch of em on sale to boot, though their stock is limited to Mac Delta Stuff (and the VF-31C and A are sold out) All three of these sets are actually 2 separate model kits (B and F) but they can be combined for Gerwalk Hayate 2-mode set - 60% off https://hlj.com/1-144-scale-mcr12-vf-31j-siegfried-2-mode-set-tmt28014 Arad 2-mode set - 50% off https://hlj.com/1-144-scale-mcr20-vf-31s-siegfried-2-mode-set-arad-moelders-custom-tmt27913 Keith 2-mode set - 60% off https://hlj.com/1-144-scale-mcr17-sv-262hs-draken-iii-2-mode-set-keith-aero-windermere-machine-tmt28015
  7. Welp. That's an easy skip for me. To be honest I think I've got Port Fatigue. With work and the wife my game-time is limited to my train commutes and I prefer to play new games and experience new stories; not repeat the old ones I played to death years ago when I had more free time.
  8. Worked on some Ma.k Snake-eyes on my last few days off from work. I'm addicted to these 2.5" tall egg soldiers :0 They have been great practice for doing free-hand two-tone camo / blending. Just a touch of tamiya weathering powder was used to add some dirty-ness and break-up some of the solid colors.
  9. Saw 1/48 pilots. Bought. Thanks Xigfrid
  10. These are ok if you only intend to keep them in one mode and you want something in 1:100. Otherwise avoid like the plague.
  11. wow. Can't wait to see these guys in the shapeways store
  12. I prolly should try that. Will just need to do some cutting to mod these mono-pose figs Other than the air-brushed base-coat and the final flat-coat everything was done during night-shifts at work haha I managed to churn out another 4 Safs units but decided to try a 2-tone paint scheme. Should have the series 2 figs in soon so the 5th in this squad will be a racoon type safs. I prolly need to adjust my lighting setup because the M on the fig on the left looks like it has a super bright-white M even though in reality it's a dirty brown-ish
  13. I think Vallejo are a great paint to use. IN terms of performance the Mecha colors are really no different than the rest of the vallejo air line other than the colors that are more tailored to the Gundam U. The Matte Varnish tends to be a little thick and needs a little thinning. The most convenient part of the Vallejos is definitely the dropper bottle that allows super easy use with the airbrush. I wish Tamiya acryls came in dropper bottles too :0

    Hi-Metal R

    Such a beautiful box. We need a new Tenjin art-book with all these HM-R paintings. On a side note, i wonder why Bandai switched to a blue logo. Seeing the change on all my gundam stuff too.
  15. These look like a mix of the Diaclone powered suits, a bit of votoms, and a bit of hexa-gear. Interesting concept.
  16. I say it every time. I just want the GM Cold district type and the RX-77D
  17. Man I wish I had enough room in my place to build big stuff like that Boat mechtech's got. if I did I'd fill it with more Safs :0 Been on a maschinen krieger bender. Just made a new squad from those 1/35 gachanen kits. Never thought I'd have so much fun doing little 2.5" tall egg soldiers.
  18. Can't wait until we can unleash the Judah System in a time of need
  19. The MG Alex 2.0 is getting a face mask and a broken V-Fin. Face mask looks cool but it makes it look very "Duel Gundam" ish
  20. the FZ is look noice but def gotta replace those hands with aftermarket pieces
  21. It's the first game to make me rage-quit in 20 years. The last one was Battletoads on the NES
  22. NY overcharges so hard I stopped using them. Who cares if you save 2000 yen on the preorder price when you pay 3000yen more in shipping?
  23. After getting burnt so bad on the 30th anni 1J (i paid full price for it...) I'm watching a few stores and waiting for the sale ... it's like Yamato V2 sale whoring all over again :0
