Oi, vei! So, now you're going to bash me for taking less than a few hours to build a MG? I didn't mention I wasn't working straight through those 4 days. I have a goddamned life you know! And don't you dare insult my cousin. I'M the one who took 4 days. HE can get one in a few hours. I have only been Gunpla'ing since last March, pardon me if I'm not a pro yet. I only own 4 kits; the MG I built was one of my cousin's (Logan's pretty cool. He let me build an old MG of his). Now, I can knock down a HG in about 2 hours at most. If I work straight through it, I can probably get a MG down in about 6. A PG is one of those you shouldn't rush. So many small parts. If I tried to rush, I'd lose half of them. Further, my desk is a small one, which inhibits my ability to model quickly. Now, back on track! Display Modellers, be happy. You don't HAVE to transform it. If you want it PERFECT, wait for the damned Hase! Poseable Modellers, be happy. IT'S GOING TO BE VARIABLE; THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS. Besides, has Bandai done anything remotely this scale that DOESN'T Roboticize?

Game-friendly meaning, of course, within the 150k Poly range, right?

So, my father's name is Kelly, his favorite color is green, and I love how HSL recolorings of the VF-171 come out. This is the fruit of the above factors: Also, I was bored and hit the burn tool real hard on it: Not so much a custom scheme as it is a "I think this would be fun" decision. Looks almost like it got with the scary lighting in a Nightmare...

So, I'm the only one who actually wants these? I don't know about you guys, but that's one of very few cases where orange looks sexy.

No, a Samarian is from Samaria. A Samaritan is the latter.

Well, YSFlight's only 2 gripes with me are graphics and physics. I'm pissed that the graphics look WORSE than the stuff from a 1990s CG film and that the physics are actually worse than in an anime. THERE IS NO WAY TO PULL 67Gs! A total conversion of HAWX that actually plays well would make me wanna buy it.

"Please don't say you were lazy" -K-On! Ending theme That's epic, dude. But, yeah, that's: Alto: Mio Ozma: Ritsu Ranka: Yui Sheryl: Tsumugi? From K-On!, an anime based off of a Light Novel and a Manga(?) about 5 girls trying to form a successful band from their Light Music Club at school... It's Moe as hell. Worth a watch, for sure.

Humanitarian - (n.) a person who eats humans exclusively Samaritan - (n.) a person who helps others

If HAWX didn't bug up, had realistic physics, a realistic weapons lock system, and realistic particle effects, I'd possibly play it. Till then, no dice.

Well, I knew that! However, it would be Ramenivore or Ramenitarian, not ramenarian. Ramenivore - (n.) an organism whose diet consists totally of ramen Ramenitarian - (n.) a person who eats ramen exclusively

So true... I- It's a valid point. Kind of.

My brain just burst an aneurysm from that... Wish there were no floating arms, but then again...

I must say, though, I can't stand HAWX. Tom Clancy games should stick to 3PS. You get 2 views, neither are cockpit view (And both suck), the controls don't act like a real plane, and the weapons displays aren't at all like a real plane. I'll stick to Ace Combat, thank you!

Well, of the "display" models I've built, they rarely end up being displayed, but broken on the floor. I hate it when my sisters come into my room :didn't we used to have a cry?:... I've lost many a good model or figure to them. CURSE YOU, KELLY AND RISSA! At least poseables are a bit more durable...

Ramenarian - (n.) Misspelling of Ramenaryan Ramenaryan - (n.) A ramen soup with whitish noodles, yellow broth, and round, blue vegetables of an unknown type

I'm gonna disagree with a few points here. I've built a Hase, once. It went together just like a Tamiya or a Revell. Really simple, not too many parts. Puttied her up, sanded her down... Paint was too damned expensive. She looks horrid, now. Given, this was no 1/48 F-14, but a cheapo model I got off of someone. However, the Master Grade I built, not even getting into Perfect Grade yet, took 4 days and a lot of fiddling parts into the right positions. No paint, putty, or nothin' and she looks great. My cousin's Perfect Grade Strike (One of the most straightforward) took him, who's been into Gunpla for 13 years, a week and a half. He had to rebuild several sections a few times because he misarranged bits and pieces. Finally, it was complete and looks uber-sexy. What's the point? Bandai, while not as great in detail as Hase, is still a model company that requires skill. All the "Display" modellers say that it's a "Snap-fit" so it must be simple, detailless, and brutishly assembled. However, a "Display" model only requires one to align major parts and apply glue. Small parts are a lot fewer and farther between in a "Display" model than a poseable model. I'm in no way saying that a "Display" model is simple. Far from it. I'm just saying that a poseable isn't simple, either. Each builds in its own token. A "Display" model means glue, paint, and putty. A poseable model means hundreds of tiny parts, each snapped into an exact position. And the end result? With a "Display" model, the result is often better-looking. However, with a "Display" model, it's not just assembled but has paint added and lines smoothed. Smoothing lines is almost cheating. A poseable model, assembled without paint, is not puttied, and still looks pretty, damn good. Now, all you "Display" modellers, stop hoping for a Bandai static. It's obvious they're going to cash in on the poseable market. Hope for that from Hasegawa. They're better at it, anyway. -Schiz-crest out!

Best to ask Akt_m for his VF-25.

I think with the tightness I've witnessed in PGs, I wouldn't worry too much about weight as long as people actually chicken-leg their GERWALK. GERWALK is NEVER seen with the legs STRAIGHT DOWN, but at a forward angle. As long as the joints are tight and people angle their legs forward, the feet are big enough to support it.

So, what kind of range of motion we lookin' at in this guy's joints?

Yes, join the harem. And I completely agree. Boxer hands are too super robot. Need boxy mecha hands!

Wow... Now, I REALLY want that Strike...

See, I've tried the ballpoint thing, but it doesn't score well enough. Also, hot glue burns took a lot of the feeling in my fingertips. When I got the first set, it was about a week before I could type properly.

Well, I've always got room for another! Oh, but I am.

Strike Rouge (Sexy as hell) is not the same type of mobile suit. It's an MBF-02, not a GAT-X105. PGs are as detailed as Hase's, even without paint. Sometimes, they're more so. (Example: My cousin (Gunpla Cousin) has a Hase 1D. It pales in comparison to his PGs... Given, his painting skills lack a bit...)

I know how to make an acetate canopy. It's just too labor-intensive (And Expensive) for me. Believe me, I know papercraft is challenging. It'd help if I still had all that dexterity from a few years ago, when I was assembling 2cm x 1cm DS Lites. Hot Glue burns suck... As for paper, I use 65 lb mostly, although I dabble in 110 for certain things. The hardest part of doing this is my father. He strictly limits my printing. (It's my printer... Ass...) He says that paper and ink are expensive. (Paper is cheaper than dirt and he doesn't even buy the ink!) So, I basically have to print on the median card weight. As such, I can never make good small parts. Further, my X-acto broke. It won't hold a blade, anymore, and I can't get a new one. (Again, dad) So, cutting and scoring's a bitch. (Ever try to score something with the back of a pair of safety scissors?) The micro-tweezers I use have disappeared, and the needle-nose jeweler's pliers I use have bent out of shape. So far, it's been a bad year for my hobbies.
