    hmmmmmmmm......seeing how FFVII was the first RPG I ever played and I don't have the original discs anymore, I'll probably end up getting it for my PS4. I remember seeing some video a year or two ago when Square and Sony announced it as a teaser for FFVII but it was the original graphics and people at first clapped then there was silence. So, cool, I'm glad!

    VERY misleading, almost like "Who was in charge of this trailer project? They need to be fired." kind of misleading. I talked to a couple of co workers who are dead set against the film and think it's god awful from two things, "raptor trained" and "communicating". I shook my head and told them it wasn't the case at all. The only thing that'll piss them off watching it are the two kids who served very little purpose other than to connect to the younger audience, and all the blasted product placement. Verizon, Samsung, Ben & Jerry's, Zales or whatever. I mean a big ass sign saying "SAMSUNG's Hammond Research Center" Spared no expense.

    Those passing for rental I fee bad for you. This was worth seeing in theaters and the trailers were very misdirecting. I really liked BD Wongs return. He was a delightful though brief character in the first film and now we get to explore his role in this and it's very different. Plus this film left room for what could be an interesting sequel AND touched on the genetic gaping and how that affects the "assets". Not to mention the final confrontation made me drop my jaw going "I didn't see that coming!"

    I just got back from it, guess it must of been good cause the room clapped at the end.

    Except they're neither Bandai or typical brand, these are fan made decals.....which makes me think he did it on decal paper after some editing digitally then sprayed with a clear gloss. I got these from some guy in China thru ebay. For instance if you look at the shoulders, it's 4 pieces of decals, but on normal bandai stickers, that'd be at least 2, bottom half, then the top corner. Nope, every piece is a decal. Luckily once the big stuff is done it'll be a ton easier to apply on those smaller ones. It's just consistency and alignment is insanely difficult. Also i'm swearing off Krylon spray for good. The clear satin did something to the paint I worked hard on to the base, it dissolved and deteriorated the paint in certain areas. I'll have to either soak the parts in thinner to remove it which will take forever, or primer lightly and apply again.

    Since those aren't available in any hobbystore within a hundred mile radius I use Micro Sol and or Micro Set, they do a fairly decent job. In this case what I really am gonna need to do is trim those decals excessively before soaking. They're not very well cut at all and it's annoying. I've kind of shifted gears now and going to gear up on my Sazabi tomorrow morning after my Zeta unit 3 photoshoot is done. The base is colored and clear coated. I made a quick Amuro Unicorn logo out of red scrap from work in 4 different sizes. One of those is bound to work. So could be an interesting morning.

    It would be a lot better if bandai kept to under gating to at least minimize the potential of nub marks. Some kits even high grades have gotten some under gating on certain trees but not all and it's a bummer. I can't completely get rid of them but I try my best to make it better. This weekend I start on my 2nd hguc sazabi as a full paint job. I should be able to complete all the priming today. BUT same time I'm also working on a customized stand for my zeta unit 3. Priorities right?!

    I began phase three tonight. I'm not a big fan of these after market decals as they don't seem to stick to the frame very well even though it's been clear flat coated so that should add some bonding strength to it compared to smooth plastic. Not too mention while the decals looked combined together like any other decal I've used, these were individually contoured cut and I HATE it. But I shall continue.

    Wiring was a tad difficult, the illustrations weren't very clear to me. I had to research on sites and found something that worked and it clicked on what was wrong. Atleast the build came out well. Now I'm disassembling it and making corrections to the plating so open hatch works a bit better, weathering it just a smidge and adding decals.

    Coolness, I kinda like the color tones better than the regular which has a lot more separation. I just bought some paint for my Delta Plus. Sadly the shop had no Neutral Gray so I gotta special order it

    at least the CG'ed younger 80's arnold looks A LOT better than the Salvation one.

    Did just listen to the numbers in the weekend box office. When you got a movie like SPY outdoing San Andreas and entourage like its no ones business and SPY didn't even look good to me. It's like mike and Molly without mike. I don't even remember what came out last summer and Hollywood is STILL crying over that one.

    GOnna go with bank issue. Sometimes banks have restrictions on the amount you can spend in 1 day or 1 transaction like 500+ limit which you can have raised, but also sends red flags to your account when you try to purchase overseas and can lock your account until you have the balls to call them up. It's happened three times to me. First was my BoA account trying to buy some cosplay in Singapore. I had to go to the bank confirming I made the purchase versus calling them up cause I couldn't visually confirm I was who I was. 2nd time was last july setting up a gamefly account, yeah believe it or not gamefly. 3rd and final time was a spending cap buying a mac. as everyone is instructing, go with paypal.

    Ah well yeah if they didn't get it in yet then that's a totally different scenario whereas GG got theirs and was just lazy as kaka about it. I worked on my PG RX-78-2 a bit today, I finished the right arm and I had a bit of a odd thing happen. The middle finger is incredibly loose on it, like floppity then falls off. Kind of bummed as it's not the first time that's happened to me on a PG kit. I remember my Zaku did this too at one point several years ago. But hey it's been progress! And yesterday I picked up a MG Delta Plus cause we all know I like transformable mobile suits. So even if it's kind of lacking in areas I'm still gonna enjoy it over the simple fact it's not a Gundam.

    Put a paypal claim on there, that's what I had to do.

    So, basically, I just got a free P-Bandai kit.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we get a pilot.................... ...........................episode in December like we did in Frontier. That'd be kinda fun!

    Really hadn't gotten to far into this old bird. But this is as far as I got on building my PG rx782 kit. Both pilot figures are painted, cockpit console and instruments were detailed and rear main engine nozzles were detailed. So yeah it's a nice core fighter. I need to get my core fighters assembled so I can show the scaling.
  21. Hikuro
    I have a mark 3, but have yet to assemble it so I can't even confirm or deny a frame. I can confirm I'm doing three projects though! A guy in the group asked me to custom paint his SD phenex a month ago so I'm finally getting that set up. While that's going I've got parts cleaned and trimmed and washed on my custom paint sazabi hg basically just doing the same thing as the sinanju job. Finally I'm starting work on my PG rx-78-2. All I've done though is just painted the two cockpit figures which came out decent, and missile pods on the core fighter which I admit I don't like so will probably repaint.

    Reese had a total logical reaction. Shame Michael bhein Reese puts out a better fight
  23. Hikuro
    Ok now that's interesting. Everyone's saying its crap cause of the last movie. If they're making changes to improve the film then awesome. I wanna wait till I see a trailer.

    So what if he's 65? That sure wasn't him doing all those moves when tron was rinzler. All he would need to do just like the animated series is provide tron a voice and bam he's done. They'll just digitize a younger face just like tron 2 with him and bridges.Disney just can't pump out much of anything good anymore. Granted they take leaps in making new things while studios are all about reviving old properties but either case Disney just wants to pump it out and not care about the magic or the production styling just like the other studios. I dunno if Walt would spin in his cryotube or what!

    Happy day, fixed my Zeta Unit 3, getting all my stuff together to order a new A-44 part for my existing Zeta that'll be used to form a sorta A1 looking Zeta Gundam.
