This shot you can see how well I was actually able to panel line with my new pen which I saved specifically for my first PG kit.

Leg is completed

Piston working

Canopy Hatch!

OKay showing off some pictures now!

I don't call that a collection, I call that obession with a hint of lime....he's what I call the spoiled type "Mommy mommy! Buy it for me..........NOW! OR I'LL CRY AND CALL YOU A HORRIBLE MOMMY!" Well......that's how I was.

I didn't work on the leg, I wanted to work on something else for the time being. So for an hour I worked on Upper Torso and upper waste movement. So far it looks fantastic. Joints are a bit stiff as expected on the shoulder area. But man my pilot figure looks great painted up and sitting in his lil cockpit. Something I thought was sorta neat was when I pressed the upper canopy hatch down the screen frame would pull upward. Wish it went back down when your closing the canopy hatch that'd been really neat. But the upper torso looks so cool with those hydrolic pistons working around and such I also put on a bit of the armor pieces just on the shoulder joints and the canopy hatch pieces. It should look pretty cool when everythings all done and over with. I'll try to get some pictures right when I get home.

LETSU......GEKI-GAN IN!!!! I should look for the first episode....I really should.....but...... I need some blank CD's I'm surprisingly almost outta HD space.

Sure, I don't have my camera with me here at work, but if things don't work out when I'm going to assemble it in the next hour or so, then when I get home I'll make sure to take some pictures and leave it alone till I get some opinions and just work on the other sections. I also wanna say how I like in the instructions that they mention which trees you'll need to use when doing a specific part or parts. That's very helpful for someone like me.

Going right off a can. I'm still stumped on what the problem is with that lower half of the other leg. If I can nail the problem why the two pieces to connect it as one are not going in properly then I can maybe fix it cause I hate it when there's a big section with a large gap...some pieces then wont fit into place too well or at all. What I really like so far is the amount of time and detail I spent into the mechanical parts. Though some pieces are being layered over others, I still find it nice that I took the time to detail what I could. Though I did find some places where I went "Uh oh....I forgot this piece" but you wont notice it at all when the armor is placed over the frame. Today at work I plan on atleast finishing the torso, starting out somewhere else. But I wanna spend just maybe 5-10 minutes figuring out that lower portion of the leg to see where I went wrong. Probably need to stick something in there, there might have been some water in one of the slots and I'll just have to dig it out with a pick since its more then likely hardened because of the paint. If that doesn't work...then I'll just have to figure something out.

Bendage

Yep, Finally after several months I was able to get the balls and got one at a lower price then that of some model stores. One booth at Sakuracon asked for 230 dollars, online shops asked for 160+, I paid at atleast 150. The model honestly I thought was way out of my leaguge. It's a pretty difficult looking kit at first glance. But after cleaning, painting and solid detail working, I manage to complete a leg and a half. I would honestly have had both legs done by tonight but for some stupid reason the lower half on the second leg isn't piecing together nicely...so I think something isn't fighting evenly into place and I can't understand what that may be...its sorta odd and I don't have enough light anymore to really figure this out...but I'm hoping I will at work or afterwards. But here's what I finished tonight! Please honestly give me your opinions, its my first ever Perfect Grade and I'm really nervous since I did spend alot of money on this. The Colors I'm using: Brilliant Blue Bright Red Gray Violet Silver Aluminum

Looks pretty good bud. To bad about that other head unit but I'm more partcial to this style instead.

Its just the Memory stick that came with the PSP. Pictures work, but no music. Also, I'm pretty sure they're not in a folder within a folder, I was pretty caustious about that not knowing how well it'd work. Pretty much just took the 2 songs and moved them right into the folder labeled as "Music" on the PSP listings. But I suppose the songs never finished loading into the folder...but it shows the space is taken up as I only have 22 megs left...that sounds about right 5 megs each song plus the pictures....wish I had the cable with me and was at home I'd check it out, but oh well. It was just music I can listen too while I was working on my PG Strike at work.

I used my PSP's USB cable this morning, formatted the data on it (didn't care about the game saves) and I put 2 music files and about a dozen pictures. Now the pictures show up fine, but the MP3 music wont appear at all. When I go into music it tells me I have ZERO tracks...I know for a fact that I placed the music in the music folder and even checked again to make sure. So I wonder what the hell went wrong? I wanna listen to Meteor and Invoke dammit.

0_o man I wanna watch it....

Yes, I know, Movie preview dah dah dah, but the trailer wouldn't work. Course now that I'm on a VERY speedy connection being back at work, I'm just waiting for it to load up.....sorta hate streaming.

wha trailer? I see nothing for a trailer?

The search button is your friend bro.....there are LOTS of Yukikaze threads here and some of them have info and even conspiracy theories behind episode 5 year behind release....some say its cause of Robotech since its the same animation company. I say, they got lazy.

Following after that picture I finished Aile Striker and called it a day for now. There is a big difference though between my older Strike and my newer design which I hope too present when the weather shines litterally in my direction.

After that I started working a bit lastnight and completed the Torso, head and the right shoulder. Then I went to bed and woke up around 3 hours ago and completed the Strike Build up.

Just another one with him in his lil seat.

I worked on Kira in his lil pilots outfit, first time I EVER painted something like that, and for my first try, it wasn't bad, it was diffenetly off color but it worked. I used Blue, Black, White and Aqua Gray.

Heh thanks, got Grimlock, Jazz, Silverstreek, Smokescreen, Swindle, Windcharger, Sideswipe and Prime....bu for some random reason I have Sazabi standing next to 'em....don't ask me why. I need to seriously clean not only my desk and find a better place for my Alternators, but clean my bloody room as well, my bed is covered in junk and I wanna sleep soon
