zeo-mare Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 yea the beam sabers are included i just do not like the way they look, that looks like the PG GP-01 on top of the speaker. chris
promethuem5 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 That's the GP-01FB.... I just got mine today, and the box is friggen huge! Too bad I have to wait until April for my birthay to open it. *tear*
promethuem5 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) All right. Here's my second RX-79G finished. This one's alot better. The weathering is much more subtle, the damage is more believeable and tamed down, and I got a set of MG decals to spruce it up with and I love it. Notice how it compares to the way over weathered first one I did.... Edited January 13, 2006 by promethuem5
Hikuro Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Looks like those guys need new mobile suits, time to decomission them or they wont be worth the scrap, good effects.
Twoducks Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 The complete review of the V2.0 Z is finally up at Dalong Really nice. Now I kick myself for getting the MKII V2.0 instead of waiting for this beauty (picked the still good looking HGUC Z but...). Sure gives the PG a run for its money, at least in the looks department.

dj898 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 had quick session of prime the armours and quick reassembly of zaku after primer... time to pull out air brush tomorrow provided the weather is fine. and I switched the base to bigger one - thanks IKEA - to give more room for the railway track behind the bridge...
ychanus Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Bigbadtoystore has a lot of gunpla with 40% off. Just a headsup..
vfxraven19 Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Bigbadtoystore has a lot of gunpla with 40% off.Just a headsup.. 360557[/snapback] Man-o-man... thanks for the heads up on this, I just bought two 1/144 METEOR/Freedom kits!

A lot of them are sold out, so hurry!
dj898 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 [ok time for yet another small progress update] I wasn't happy with the diorama base - it was too blend and had no characteristics of Gundam universe... So after bit of researching - i.e. watching few OVA DVD - I came up with another layout idea. here's rough drawing of the new base - sorry for messy drawing. I was in hurry and here's the initial arrangement before I glue things down.
GRAND CANNON Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 For a kit that's going to be coming out soon, I've only found this color pic: Any others out there?
azrael Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Any others out there? 361177[/snapback] For the moment, no. Just the Nemo.
jwinges Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Anybody ever seen a Kampher in Char red? I'm thinking of painting one of my this color.
zeo-mare Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) nice avatar jwinges but i do not know if you noticed your title where it says "no animated avatars" that is not a joke the Administration does not want animated avatars anymore that is why he is pulling them down left and right. you might want to pull it before you get suspended. chris Edited January 18, 2006 by zeo-mare
jwinges Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Whoops. I was wondering why my avitar vanished the other day. Added this one without even noticing the no animated avitars line. That sucks I like seeing all the funny avitars. They add some variety to the boards.
zeo-mare Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 i agree, i liked the one you had originally alot better i could watch it all day.
dj898 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 [another small update] just finished painting zaku II... here's a shot w/o flash... http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/5296/p10508432lv.jpg and here's the one with auto flash+auto white balance ??? http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/7858/p10508479bb.jpg weathering and chipping to come later... p.s. second picture will show what can go wrong with digicam without the custom setting. It was at mid night last night and I wasn't in the mood to setup the custom setting again for another shot...
dj898 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) just done with initial painting of RX-78-0... bit of bugger to paint as I almost spilt the bottle over the model... heh stripping and minor deatil painting followed by weathering and chipping... Edited January 19, 2006 by dj898
vfxraven19 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 pic 359163[/snapback] Looking at your Dendrobium made me crazily buy one on ebay for $270.50 shipped. I saw it at Puzzle Zoo in Costa Mesa for $399+... So I have 2 METEORs, a PG Skygrasper/Aile Striker, and a Dendrobium to build...
Hikuro Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 RX-78-0 shold be interesting to see. On a completely unrelated note, I bought Gundam Battle Tactics for my PSP, I saw alot of good reviews for it compared to the Giren game for the DC that got re-released for the PSP.... But I couldn't pass GBT cause its got the white dingo GM and a few other mobile suits I loved in the UC universe.

Don't know how far I am in the game, but I have Alex, Blue Destiny, and some others... I haven't played through the Zion campaign yet... Also playing Armored Core Formula Front Intl for more robot action...
dj898 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 there used to be Gundam Battle Tactics for PC for few years now. Is this PSP version updated version? O_O
promethuem5 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Is Battle Tactics for PSP out in English yet? I thouhgt it didn't come out for a while....? How is it? I haven't seen much for it, but the thought of a third person action game for PSP had me psyched.
ychanus Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) This is off topic, but I'll throw my impression. It is now only released in Japan for PSP, I have finished all fed mode missions. My impression was not that great as on later missions, there are a lot of slow down. Particularly the mission where 3 Dom were trying to get me at once, the slowdown caused the control become extremely unresponsive. I still think OneYearWar for PS2 from Namco is the best Gundam game. I guess I like to do the aiming myself instead of just a simple autolock function. As for seed Gundam game, fed vs Zaft is the best, period. Edited January 20, 2006 by ychanus
Hikuro Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 well I would guess slow down for a heavy free movement mecha could would be obvious espically for Gundam...but sadly I can't play OYW cause I don't want to mod myPS2 nor do I have enough money to buy a modded PS2.....sooooooooooooooooooooo Battle Tactics for my PSP is good enough for me. I'll just sit around playing Guilty Gear XX on my PSP, I love it.
ychanus Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 You should just get a used Jap PS2 as a lot of people are dumpping their Big ps2 for the slim version. Also, you can get OYW PS2 for like $12.90 from play-asia.com, it is a steal.. If you like seed, you must play Fed vs Zaft Seed PS2 as it is awesome. Just getting a chance to pilot freedom Gundam and perform a full power shot will make you feel really good. well I would guess slow down for a heavy free movement mecha could would be obvious espically for Gundam...but sadly I can't play OYW cause I don't want to mod myPS2 nor do I have enough money to buy a modded PS2.....sooooooooooooooooooooo Battle Tactics for my PSP is good enough for me.I'll just sit around playing Guilty Gear XX on my PSP, I love it. 362168[/snapback]
Hikuro Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Back on subject matter of Gunpla, I got really lucky today when I went to the hobby store to see what they had. Now that is lucky.
Hikuro Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I decided I wasn't gonna paint my MKII 2.0 for a few simple reasons, 1) Not enough paint, I barely have enough for the Aile Grasper. and 2) The colors just look phenomenal as they are. I got the feet done and I was pretty much just going "WOW" the amount of time it took me to do this was alot longer then the original...I can remember how long it took me to do the certain things on some model kits, and since the MKII is one of my favorite suits, I remember alot of the time I spent on that, and it wasn't much. But with this it took me a good hour to finish both the feet cause there are so many parts. 22 parts to finish off 1 foot. So I completed 44 pieces of the kit that's just amazing. The Ailegrasper is coming out nice. I finished off alot of the color, leaving some areas alone though. Like the "Camel Yellow" parts, I don't have the color and I didn't know I was gonna need it. I think yellow would be to bright, and orange would be too dark and I don't have enough orange paint left to finish the job. But the Black, Gunmetal, and Bright Red, Blue and Gray Violet on the parts are coming out FANTASTIC thus far. I should have most of the painting process completed tonight before I go to bed....gotta hit the sack earlier then usual. I start my new job at 8 AM monday.
Father Jack Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Is that a Hobby Town Bag? I wish the one I work at carried Gundam stuff. Nice find.
zeo-mare Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 i wish i still had a Hobbytown over here, we used to have 2 of them but they both closed down years ago, it is where i used to pick up my old gundam and macross kits. chris
