Ah now that was creative!

Oooooooohhhh okay I see it now lol it was the nipples that tipped me off...yeah...that's it....

That and Wild Storm hasn't produced another Robotech comic after Invasion

0_o your REALLY slow on this one

Hehe....work...sllooooow

Almost forgot I can't believe its Friday already 0_o man wha a week! Hopefully we wont be going out tonight since we had takeout lastnight!

Finally for tonight.....Core Splender, Chest, Leg Flyer, and Force Impulse! I can actually say I did have fun building this kit and I'm happy my customization came out nicely. A few things... 1) There is alot of painting involved with this kit. If your the kind that doesn't enjoy painting models cause its time consuming stay FAR AWAY from this kit! 2) Shoulder armor seems to get in the way of the pushing in of the dislocated shoulder joints when your going from Mobile Armor to Mobile Suit configuration. So just be aware. 3) Unlike the 1/60 where its shield can shift into compact and battle position, you gotta take the two halfs of the shield apart and places the ends on different parts of the main body of the shield, this is sorta a pain in the ass. 4) Like the 1/60 you gotta paint the core splender. However I didn't on my 1/60 cause it doesn't give you the greatest picture of the Core Speldners original color scheme where as the 1/100 model instructions will come with a booklet of how to customize the Impulse to its anime counterpart......thus I did about a 90% accurate repesentation.

YES! The 3rd coat was the last I needed to complete the core splender! <<<<<was listening to the theme too while putting in the finishing touches. Its not 1/100 accurate, but damn that is as close to something as I've ever gotten from something so tiny. But here's the best picture I could take of Shin's Core Splender in bad light.

Depends on how much you like collecting....I'm trying to go for what ever I can get my hands on every pay check without feeling broke at the end. If you can find it under 60 dollars shoot why not? But some of the biggest pain in the butts is the fact that some parts which should have been individually molded are actually molded to main pieces, like the shoulders and legs...you gotta tape off the parts you can't get paint on and hope to god you don't...lucky me I doubled layered As for my 1/100 Impulse....I'll check on it in a bit.....if it needs a 4th coat.....I'm gonna be pissed.

Took pictures of my 1/60 Impulse.

The SEED mobile suits are suppose to be the same size as the ones in Wing...that's the rumor I heard. And yes that's my 1/100 Impulse, I'm STILL waiting for the white for the core splender to finish, I had to add a 3rd coat. Its sorta funny it'll still connect just fine without the core splender in the middle....wonder if that'll work fine on my 1/60...

I got no clue what he said and I PLAY card games.....

Here's a lil sample, I had it shadowed on purpose...its clue but not yet there for finishing....I still got the Force Shilloute and Core Splender to go....

Yata! I got the Chest flyer just about finished. I only got the head to build and a bit of touching up on the pain...seems I got a finger print of Aqua Grey on there a bit. The shield was a dissapointment you gotta take the lower and upper plates off and stick them into different slots. I think I like the 1/60 variation better where it j ust slides. But I think its true some stuff do feel a bit out of proper porportion...I think namely the shoulders seem a bit too big, they sorta get in the way of the shoulder sockets to properly set into place.

please tell me that's not super friends...

Yeaaaaaaaaaah that was it, here's the lil bastard right here. I was gonna take a picture of it a few minutes ago....but its so banged up from my abusive nature I said screw it. Impulse is coming around nicely. The main body should be done REALLY well and the core splender I'm trying to get as perfect as I can but I already know that wont happen, so I'll get it close. I painted the wings and I shaved the tip of the toothpicks I was to use...so the Vents on the Gundam Head came out just fine along with everything else...really didn't have any problem. Finishing up the painting of the main body and I think I'll be done with that tomorrow for sure.

I heard things as well: Kreuzete made a comment about flay being "The Key" and rumor had it he was going to plant a bomb inside her. And when she returned to the Arch Angel at the end (instead of being killed in the Dominions escape pod) she was suppose to go boom with the ship. Also, Dearka was also suppose to die near the end, but the director liked the character as much as he liked the actor and changed it. Your also right, Andy was suppose to be killed off but they felt the actor was just too good to get rid of him. Kira was gonna die too in his final battle and I believe Athrun was suppose to die as well..... DAMN THEY'RE CHANGES!

Isn't it a green rooster?

I can remember the box, it was water colored with a shot of the GM and I think there was a colony in thebackground, it diffenetly said 0080 on the cover....I saw the box online at Gundamshopandmore.com...but I can't find the site anymore 0_o for some blasted reason. Tonight when I get home, I gotta paint the red and the Blue moldings and the wings of the core splender and the vent covers...and walah....I think I'll be constructing Thursday night or Friday thru the end of the week.

You know, I talked to a somewhat girlfriend about it, but she laughed really hard callin me a geek....and then the unthinkable happened.......she snorted

All the PG kits I believe have LED display. The 1/60 HG Impulse uses a solar styled Nice job on the Dias, its one of my favorite Mass produced models, espically the dark colored one. My 1/100 Impulse is coming together slowly. I still haven't assembled it, but I tapped off about 80% of what I need and I bought some paint in the Jar...Tamiya brand of course. I have to pretty much hand paint the core splender's wings and probably part of the nose. I also somehow gotta figure out how to paint the vents that are on the side of the head on the Gundam....toothpicks are a bit too far for something so small and tightly inclosed....grrrr....I'll figure it out sooner or later! Also was thinking back to that RGM-79command type....I remember I got that in my Junior year in Highschool, I'm nearly 3 years out of highschool now so that should tell ya just how different it is to the new RGM types...

Guess I own both *shrug* the RGM-79GS is the new one The one HERE in this post is the one I just built and customized a bit. But the one I'm bsin about is a command type with tanish coloring and a mix of a dark blue/greenish like secondary color. Which I posted a picture in my last posts.

Okay the one I customized that I posted my digi's of is the RGM-79GS, the one I was complaining about that doesn't have any posing abilities is the Command unit....

this is sorta it...it was a GM Command But its joints were a lil bit different...I'll try and snap a digi tonight. ALSO! Just wanting to note, like the newer HG's, the beam saber on this version is jointed with the hand....the one I got, the beam saber is seperate.

The one shown here on the thread was originally white and red, I just changed the red to a blue, and the vent fins to gold... The old RGM-79 I got at home I'll take a picture, I repainted it into a really nasty blue and black, man did I regret it. But that one is Tan.
