Sanity is Optional Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 I’m torn if I want to get a 3rd one so I can have the full squad. Quote

So you can just do 2 M9 and a Arbalest For me I stilling thinking of getting a 1/48 Hind D to reenact the scene from that first ep. Edited December 25, 2018 by F360 Quote

Crap the perfect time when I have depleted the toy budget funds for this month.....and next month. Don't tell me. At least my first M9 is preparation in progress at NY... But I'm still struggling to get a second one for displaying both of types at once. And then there is this empty wallet due to earlier purchases the last weeks. Damn, there are way too many toys I want out there! And Santa Claus is no help either. His sack was much too small this year Edited December 25, 2018 by CrossAir Quote
sumyumgoy Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 So tempted to get a second one too but thinking of getting the models instead just because of that darned wallet situation. Has anyone had any issues of loose joints? Both ankles and right knee of my arbalest has become very loose. Quote

I carefully snuck in some super glue into the joints and worked it in. They're pretty tight now. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I’m still trying to pickup an extra EVA MB. Anyone know of a place still selling POs? Maybe it will be available upon release? Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Well, my pair of M9 Gernsbacks showed up, looks nice and hefty. Unexpected bonus is they come with 4x standing figures (Mao, Kurtz, Mardukas, Tessa), plus 2 different pilot figures (Mao, Kurtz: seated torso). Quote

But as it comes with so many figures I think I gonna paint them and Sousuke who came with Arbalest to get a more lively display. But now still missing Kaname . Quote

If I wasn't so bad at painting figures I'd give it a go myself. I was quite surprised to see so many of them included. Quote

I was quite surprised to see so many of them included. Normally I don't like painting figures at this scale. Especially painting faces is a horror to me. But I'll try my best. Your remark about the figures just reminded me that the Laevatein also came with two figures. I think I start with those two and I'm just about to assemble them right now. It is really nice from Bandai to include that much figures. With all three Arm Slaves (or even more) you can put up nice hangar scenes. Edited January 4, 2019 by CrossAir Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I'll probably do my testing on the ones from the Gernsback, since I have 2 sets of them. At least FMP pilot suits are pretty much solid black. Quote

CrossAir Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 I couldn't wait until the Gernsback arrives and started to paint the my existing figures. Had to skip to several episodes of FMP to find good examples for the uniforms. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Looking good. It really is a shame that there's no Kaname in any of these MBs, but at least there's a Tessa. Quote

CrossAir Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Just got email from NY for their 5% off New Year Promotion - So I ordered a second M9 right away. Bad for my wallet - good for display Quote
sumyumgoy Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Looks good @CrossAir! I'm hoping they release the deployment booster next but would be happy with any of the other arm slaves too. Quote

CrossAir Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 My first Gernsback came in today But damn, it comes along with another two pilots to seat in the cockpit, too. So I have to paint again 6 figures in all. Going to be a tough job again Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Gotta post them after you've painted. Quote
CrossAir Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Ok, so here's the actual full Metal Build Cast of FMP in full colors: Still need to do something about the eyes, in close-ups these look too much like black dots. But to do that I first got to find a better solution to place this tiny dots of colors without the risk of ruining the figures faces. My smallest brush its still too thick.

no3Ljm Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Second from the right — Motoko Kusanagi? Kidding aside, those are cool paint mods. Looks great! Quote
