    well, I'm on my way to building my GM II. Just a neat thing, but when you got the right tools to do brush work, you can do a pretty decent job of coverage in tight spaces with fine tipped brushes if you spend a little money. All in all, I like how my paint job came out on my GM II. if I really wanted too I could finish this sucker tonight but nah.

    The only thing I took from this episode was that even a stock mobile suit like the X1FC can do go toe to toe to OP 00 scratch build kits like those. The ONLY thing not HG about the X1FC was a scratch build core fighter, which I'm not against but everything else about that kit were items that come on the X1FC master grade. It wasn't like it needed to rely on some super power pulled out of the ass of a 15 year old with a fighting spirit kind of crap.

    I binged watch the series yesterday. That wasn't bad. I didn't really dig the beginning few episodes but as it got further along and the characters build I grew to enjoy the series so I'll look forward to season 2.

    CG for Cuteness Grade. it's how you get the nerd chicks. HLJ has more gunpla for preorder. Origins Guntank, Denial Gundam and Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 are all up. really surprised by the Hyaku-shiki price point. everything I was seeing online states it was going to be just about 70 dollars list. HLJ has it for just under 50 list.

    I finished the God Gundam last night....really didn't put a lot of effort into it cause it got blah for me. I mean 30 dollar decade old kit it's not gonna have as much appeal to me as a UC kit would of that age. All in All it came out fine and as I'd of intended it to be. now I got 13 other gunpla kits to work on.

    when you start seeing the pattern of what goes where you build faster. I practically did a HG nemo with no direction except which poly caps go where.

    That was a challenge? I think I finished that with stickers in 4 hours.

    Honestly, I've NEVER applied water onto an adhesive decal....that can potentially weaken the decal and leave it susceptible to coming off later due to things like dust and wear. Then again, I don't use tweezers either unless I'm doing water slides. I just use the tip of my exacto knife and a finger nail to ............nail the sticker in place. I do a pretty good job at it myself. Stickers in general man, they're just frustrating no matter how you slice it.

    Michael Beihn on record stating "Yes" he will be in Blomkamp's ALIENS movie. http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2015/03/01/michael-beihn-contacted-about-alien-5/ Michael Beihn was at a convention, asked by people if he had been contacted over returning as Hicks, his replay, "Yes". Later someone else approachs the actor asking "Alien 5! You doing it?!" Which Michael replies again, "Looks like it!"

    there's never a wrong way just your way or what you feel comfortable in experimenting well. some years back I'd look at what I'm doing now thinking impossiburu! now I'm v8 head smacking wondering why I never tried it in the first place! I'm out helping my dads shop today but I easily whipped out the head and 2 arms for my MG God Gundam....I'm hocked up on caffeine so I may keep going when I get home!

    judging by the photo I'd say 80s inspired.....or its a German porn flick.
  12. Hikuro
    Only seems that way, but it's so easy.

    I think it's more of the fact that I need to continue reading origins. But characters feel so out of place from what I've known them to be as.
  14. Hikuro
    Just finished Origins......not happy with it. Long ass wait for that. It wasn't the lack of mobile suits or anything like that. It was just................it wasn't there for me. Some stuff made zero sense.

    There's a skygrasper at the hobby store near work but I really don't want to pay 40 dollars for something that's a dinky plane and weapon packs. Honestly, only way I'd even build a skygrasper is with 2 more Strikes to go with them, but that also means 2 extra Aile packs which 1 could just get tagged onto the skygrasper. I dunno if you wanna go to this kind of extent David, but if you take some acrylic semi-gloss and do the trim of the canopy, use some isopropyl alcohol and a q tip to wipe away any excess of paint on the canopy, you'll get a nice looking canopy hatch. Or, if you use enamel, lighter fluid takes it off. I did that on my Bandai 1/100 VF-25, worked pretty well. Ugh I really gotta start getting into the tutorial area for my build group. it's driven some of those guys nuts on what I do and not explain it.

    I panel and sticker as I build makes it easier.

    he's now with the matrix

    if the movie takes place several decades after the first than that means deckard wasn't a replicant
  19. Hikuro
    I think this movie is being produced by one of the misfits. so gonna fail.

    instead of doing one hard pressed cut do several light cuts over the same area you want to remove. it'll wear the sticker off before you do any damage to the surface part of the gunpla. let's say you got a complex sticker like those white or gray ones that go over shoulders or legs. you don't want all of that transparent sticker outside that pattern cause it messes with all that panel lining you just did and hides it. trace the pattern of what you want to keep with the tip of your blade a couple of times. then again with the tip pull away the excess transparent of the sticker. this will leave only the colored pattern of the sticker and remove all the clear.

    oh sorry! just now seeing the shades of red I didn't before.

    coming together well. Lemme know if you have any issues with the ball joint sockets to the torso. I remember mine years ago had an issue with the right arm popping out all the time when I moved it. My Vrabe appeared today, it'll go in the closet until I'm ready to work on it but I do like it, nice big box too. Sticker sheet is kinda small so that's either a good thing or a bad thing haven't decided yet.

    I just want crossbone. it's the only suit that hasn't been tweeked from it's original design in that show. I just hope it holds together better than its MG which is possible! funnels in Nu Gundam click together better in HG than MG.

    Seeing how Longmire isn't filming she's been doing lots of odds and ends stuff. Met her a month ago, she is actually very sweet. Great to crack jokes with. As for this....I dunno wtf I just watched but I didn't like it at all 0_o and I'm not saying that as a purist or anything it was just...............not good. Maybe power rangers just in general no longer appeals to me as a whole regardless of who does it. Hmmm, could be. But it could also be that there wasn't much of anything to see out of this that really said power rangers. Out of what? 15 minutes we got 3 minutes of ranger?

    got it, work caught up with me couldn't reply. Looks like my Vrabe showed up but no one to sign for it until tomorrow, that's okay. It'll just go into the pile for a while. Might not even work on it until sometime next month....things are gonna be busy for a while. I picked up a Dark Matter Exia....I had this idea for a board game today and it just inspired me to go get this and work on it soon. Basically the game would be a big table top with different boards as fields like what we see in BFs. You'd have a MS Team of no less than 3, and a ship controller which is optional, so really no less than 6 people preferably. You decide your mobile suit HP by roll of 2 dice twice. So if you roll twice and you get 20, your HP is 20. If you roll and got a 10 your HP is 10, which would suck for you. You can gain bonus HP by having a customized unit. If you panel line you get +1hp, if you change out to customized weapons or minor repainting you get +2, and if you fully repaint you get +5. Course all of this is using HG 1/144's and can be ANY kind of mobile suit, even if it's a Ground type unit. The object of the game is for the strongest MS platoon to wipe out the enemies flag ship. You have squares which are sectors which you roll 1 dice to move those squares. If you encounter an enemy mobile suit combat begins. You roll 2 dice for your attack and your enemy rolls for defense. Whatever the difference is between them is the number of HP the defending unit lost. However if the defensive is higher than the attacking, it leaves the defensive mobile suit with the ability to completely dodge and counter with their own roll which means the previous attacking player now rolls for defense. If the same occurance happens where the defense is higher, the attacks are completely negated and the turn ends. Once your MS has taken to much damage it is out of play and the player is removed from the game until the next game begins. Ship controller can attack Mobile Suits using 2 forms of weaponary, a Mega particle cannon which only works within a certain blast radius or use a missile barriage. A Ship Controller also has the ability to heal missing HP but takes away a certain number of turns which will leave the ship open to attack. I got a lot to work out, but the game idea sounds really fun to me.
