As for a Kshatriya, I know there was a 1/100 "MG" kit a couple years ago. Is that the one you're talking about? That is an odd choice to upscale the body to 1/60, but leave the backpack and wings somewhere between 1/100 and 1/60. The Kshatriya I refer to is this one.

I really need a larger Kshatriya in my life. I have the <Side MS> one but it's not 1/100. Quote
F360 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 I havn't seen any update for the Steel Legend one. but There was another 1/100 one that is a kit / frame/ etc https://otakurevolution.com/content/elyn-hobby-1100-kshatriya-complete Quote
chyll2 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 That 1/60 destiny is easily a pass for most folks. Quote
kajnrig Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Same video, just porting to a new page with a question: Around the 4:40 mark, is that the official MB Destiny for comparison? Assuming it is, from the comparison you can tell the backpack isn't exactly 1/100 scale, but it is definitely smaller than it "should" be, if the figure is actually an upscale of the MB. That said, I think it's actually a really good size, and actually makes me kind of like the design. My problem with all the peacock backpacks is that they get bigger and bigger and more ridiculous. At its smaller relative size, these complement the Gundam design more than dwarf it. ...still a dumb thing, but you know, points where points are due. The fact that the beam blade part for the big ol' sword isn't long enough (around 22:00) is hilarious. Quote
Kuma Style Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Hi; question for anyone who's ordered the FanMade Turris Babel: Regarding the extra GN sword clip for Avlanche. Can you confirm if it's the actual, opposite side for Avalanche? For example, the KO dash kits come with an extra clip but it's a clone of the one that comes with Avalanche made for its left side, so trying to use it on the right overlaps the other. Hoping that this one is molded opposite of that for his right side so that people can have a weapons plus option with it. Quote
F360 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) here are some side by side pics. looks like FanMade provided the right (correct) side 1st pic is all Bandai (left and right) (reference) attached to backpack 2nd pic is left side Bandai and right side Fanmade attached to backpack 3rd pic is Right side parts comparison (both is right side), left Bandai, right Fanmade (it's also darker) 4th pic is Right side parts comparison (both is right side), top Bandai, bottom Fanmade Edited September 9, 2017 by F360 Quote
kajnrig Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Building the Avalanche Exia, I gotta say I really like the clear rubbery plastic DM have used for the translucent cabling. (GN Cable? GN Line? Condenser cables?) Dunno if the Master Grade/Metal Build uses the same or a similar material, but if they don't, they should. Quote
Kuma Style Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Mo Show quanta gets here Friday it looks like. Am excited. Quote
Kuma Style Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 This is the Mo Show MB ELS Quan T and honestly it's so damned good that I want to know the story behind it. The quality is literally better than my official MBs. Quote

Kuma Style Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 FanMade actually sent a Turris Babel for review. Should be here this week or next. Quote

Kuma Style Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Review hopefully by early next week. I think the next thing they have coming is that larger scaled Metal Build Destiny Hybrid. Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 as good as their 00Qan[t] looks, I still think the biggest selling point for me is the scouter robot it comes with. Quote
Kuma Style Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Metal Saga Turris finally gets here tomorrow Quote
seanami Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Turris was so bad for me, lots of the bits won't fit properly and my armor broke off at points and I had to glue it Quote
Kuma Style Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Turris Babel is possibly the worst q.c. I've ever seen on a toy. And this is after 5 minutes out of the box. Quote
kajnrig Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Wasn't the Turris Babel the one where the waist joint broke off during a video review? Quote
Kuma Style Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Dunno. Mine was in ten pieces in the clamshell. Quote

Kuma Style Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Yea. the pieces glued abd snapped back on but the ankles and and joint are so beyond loose. It's crazy. It especially stinks becausethis piece is beyond gorgeous. The design of it just murders the No Show version, IMO. Quote
chyll2 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I like the Turris version even though the MoShow has more surface detail and paint app. Unfortunately, it has one of the worst QC ever, I thought they learned a thing or two from their previous MB effort Quote
Kuma Style Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Honestly, the design of the Metal Saga is just so much more refined where the Mo Show is a blatant Master Grade copy. I like the tampos a bit more on the Mo Show but the Metal Saga just looks miles better. If this thing had better joint quality, there'd be absolutely no contest. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Hey Kuma. Can I ask what broke in your Turris Babel? Thanks. Quote

Its crap. Real garbage. Fit and Tolerance was garbage. I had to dremel a lot and even do some moding. The wires included were garbage. It took me 2 months to get it completed because it was that much garbage. I have pictures in the Gunpla thread I think its around 2013... Quote
