  1. Well my family is exacly at the other side of the world, so usually I dont get much from them. Also I feel like I cannot ask my mom & Dad for presents anymore. Last time I asked them a b Day o X mas present was about 5 years ago.

    Now I can only ask my wife. I cant complain, last Birthday she bought me a PG Zaku II and usually she allways buy me the Dengeki magazines without me asking her.

    But... normally I buy my own presents. Sad. :(

  2. I just ordered one from HLJ. I HATE the 1/144 scale and also I dont really like the FIX line, but this looks like the ONLY decent Gerbera in the market (aside Resin kits).

    So Any oppinion about this Fix version of the Gerbera? Is it worth the money or better buy a resin?

    Thanks :blink:

  3. What kind of music?

    Almost everything except Rap, Hip Hop, Teen Pop music (back street boy, Shakira, Britney and that kind of crap), Grunge, and the super duper heavy metal.

    All the rest is Ok for me. Love Classic music, Jazz, New age is Ok, old school rock, the decent Pop, metal, etc

  4. So.

    This is what I did to the toy. In the comparation pics provided by Drifand you guys cannot see the modifications.

    By the way... COOL PICTURES DRIFAND!!!

    1) New paint scheme, obviously.

    2) I modified the right arm armor to fit a double beam canon ALA RX 78 armored Gundam. This kind of weapon is very common in the Gundam universe. It is still detachable as the armor originally was.

    3) Modified the BIG rail gun and made an external attachment on the left arm. It attaches to the armor and is secured by the new custom piece you can see in the lower part of the arm. Of course also modified the trigger position.

    4) What bothers me the MOST in the Command Gundam is the way the Bandai guys attached the Missile luncher pod, directly to the right shoulder. This makes the poseability of the toy suffers a lot, as well it compromise the use of the launcher. So I made a new arm specially for the launcher. It is fixed to the fast pack and also is poseable.

    5) The eye piece... I looked like a stupid add on. So I made it look like the targeting sistem or the missile launcher using cable that connects directly to the launcher.

    6) The Shield on the left shoulder. Pure creativity I guess heh heh. It is poseable and detachable, like everything on this toy. I did not glued anything to the toy.

    Later will post better pictures..

  5. Love your custom S!

    Put some decals on it you lazy bastard. I wonder what that toy would be worth now? :ph34r:

    I agree with an earlier comment - it reminds me of Armored Core a bit. Which is a good thing! ;) And I like it a lot better than the original paint job. Lately I've interested more in 'realistic' paint schemes - military colour shades rather than bright red with gold trim.

    Thanks Gup!

    And YES I AM a lazy bastard. Sorry, I will apply decals. someday :lol:

    The beef I have with the original toy was the paint scheme. this thing is like a tank, so it should wear some dark colors not the GOLD and CHROME plated it had.

  6. That's pretty badass. Nice custom job. Like the eyepiece, too. Did it start off as a ZZ kit or what was the base of it?

    Nope it is not a model kit custom, neither a 100% custom job. It is a Heavy Weapon Command Gundam released by bandai on the 90s part of the musha line. I took the toy and applied a new paint job, add some new armour, customized some parts and all the weapons. Nothing like a total custom work... I am too lazy for that. :p

  7. what was supposed to be on the shoulders? I see some peg attachments on them...

    On the shoulders should go the missile luncher. they use only one mold for the left and right shoulders, that is why you can see two holes.

    I had modified it using a scratch built launching arm, so it dot compromise the mobility/pose of the arm and the launcher.

    why would a robot with the most advanced technology need an extra eye piece? is it somewhat blind?

    Because it looks cool, and it is the targeting device for the missile launcher. All the armor and the weapons on this toy are add ons. It is like an armored gundam, so it was not ment to use those weapons... If you see from the eye visor is a cable conected directly to the launcher... well that was mi idea maybe I am getting too much creative.. :rolleyes:

    Same thing goes for "mouth" pieces...would they drown if they are taken off??

    Which mouth pieces??? :huh:

  8. Great! you will be here in time! The Shopathon date will be January 8 to January 10. So think about arriving on 7th and leaving on the 11. Of course some of us will arrive earlier, some will leave later than this schedule, but the shopathon will be during that dates.

    Should I copunt you in? oficially I mean.

  9. Hi.

    I just finished this Command Gundam Custom and I thought could be nice to get some oppinions from you guys.

    The Command Gundam toy is a very rare one, and a custom is even more.

    I had modified a LOT this toy.

    So. What do you think?
