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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumyumgoy Posted December 25, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carefully snuck in some super glue into the joints and worked it in. They're pretty tight now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted January 4, 2019 Share 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).

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 .

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.

Sanity is Optional Posted January 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossAir Posted January 6, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted January 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossAir Posted January 9, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossAir Posted January 13, 2019 Share 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.
