  1. Figured this was probably the best place to post this, bought this model a little while ago and finally finished it up. It's not the official Wave model from a few years back but a third party model by Billion Spark Craftmanship. I liked the proportions on this better than the Wave so I gave it a try and it turned out to be a pretty fun model. I didn't do anything too fancy to it, just some panel lines and a few matte coats to protect the waterslides.
  2. Hmm I don't know if Tomino hates Victory or if it is more hatred towards Sunrise for selling out to Bandai and making the production a mess. Either way I wouldn't be surprised to see Victory erased first, Bandai knows there isn't a big market for the suits other than Victory and V2. Speaking of a mess, I found that someone uploaded the infamous english dub of ZZ to youtube recently. I wasn't able to get past a few minutes but it seems like a poorly spliced together movie of the whole series, watch if you dare!
  3. I'd be interested in a VF-0A and new ghost booster set, hopefully they don't make it a premium marking edition so the cost isn't too insane.
  4. So they are doing the same kind of thing that the Megazone 23 crowdfunding project is trying, make a 5-20 minute episode to show off the teams talents and that fans are willing to pay for it. Then hopefully with the good press and a demo they get funding from a big studio to make a series/movie. I won't put too much hope in it getting a series but a movie may be possible, I'm in for it whatever happens.
  5. Give it ten more years of actual combat testing and the F-35 will probably be able to accomplish everything it was advertised to do, revamping the F-22 to work with all of the proposed F-35 systems may be the big challenge.
  6. Something about the head seems off to me on the Jagd Doga. Not sure if the head itself is a tad too big or if the beak is too wide, I'll have to see a few more pictures to be sure.
  7. Oh wow, that looks great! Never thought I'd see a 1/60 VF-9, I'm glad you were crazy enough to take on the challenge . Swappable landing gear is probably fine especially given how small the VF-9 is and all the joints you need to pack inside.
  8. Ooh that is nice, I hope they release the Tallgeese 2 soon!
  9. Give Knight's & Magic a try, it aired last year and I had a good time with it. It has some great mech design and is inspired by older series like Dunbine.
  10. I finished building a RG Zeta not too long ago and I wouldn't really recommend it to someone who hasn't built another RG prior. On a side note the transformation is nerve wracking, I got it into waverider without breaking anything but I'm too scared to transform it back. The RG MKII is great and Titans color is always the correct choice.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    You monster how dare you! Nah it's fine, if it bothers you later you can always melt the tampo off and put whichever faction sticker you want. Go crazy and put a Zentradi sigil on there for fun.
  12. I've been wondering about the Polypod parts too, I think the leg frames are new parts. Not too sure on the armor parts, almost looks like IBO Graze armor with some extra detail. I hope it can stand on its own without a support stand.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Whenever they get around to releasing the full armor set for the 31S I'm expecting it to be around $200, not looking forward to that pay up front pre order.
  14. It's a good time to be a 1/144 GM fan! Starting off we have the P-Bandai GM Custom More pics here. A possibly regular retail GM Cannon more pics here. Oh and a GM Interceptor, I wonder if the main kit will be regular release and the booster will be P-Bandai. More pics here. Ground Gundam is getting a special P-Bandai parachute pack release with a buncha weapons. More pics here. And then there is this abomination which I kinda want, maybe the P-Bandai price will scare me away. More pics here.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    The timing between the message sent to NY, rumor of more stock and NY getting back to him just seemed to line up in my mind that they are trying to open up more stock that is already coming to them and get more money. Hmm maybe I'm just being too cynical, I hope so.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So let me get this straight, now that a new batch is rumored NY sends you an e-mail saying "Hey you should probably cancel your order." Guess they want that sweet after market price money and are hoping the holdouts finally give up.
  17. Hahaha that can't be the actual cover....... right? Oh no....
  18. Like everyone else said it does have hardpoints but the Yamato/Arcadia version went for the sleek look. A few MW members have done hardpoint mods using a magnet as I recall. The VF-4 was the main UN Spacy fighter for a while before the VF-11 entered service to replace it.
  19. For better or worse the way most rightsholders look at fan projects is as competitive merchandise. You are making something that people want and offering it for free therefore you are taking away from their profits. An example would be Nintendo and the Metroid series, a dedicated fan released AM2R (which was a great remake of Metroid 2) at a time when Nintendo was staying silent about the franchise. Soon after Nintendo issued him a DMCA, then a year later released their remake of Metroid 2 with Samus Returns.
  20. Or it might come with the P-Bandai Chobham armor set, I'll probably do like Big S said and get some HG waterslides. Course I'll probably not use the shield a whole lot since I'll have it in this pose most times
  21. Oh wow, I guess seeing the kickstarter amounts for Riding Bean and Gunsmith Cats got him motivated to try a new series. I'm in for some more Bean Bandit, I hope the art and animation are at least close to the quality of the OVA.
  22. Has there been any word on if the Alex comes with a stylized Alex sticker for the shield? It's strange they wouldn't have that tampo'd on like all the other markings.
  23. You can't go wrong with 08th MS Team or 0080 War in the Pocket but the best place to start with Gundam is the original series or compilation trilogy. The Origin is an interesting starting point since it's a prequel series but not to the original series. Instead it's a prequel to a remake that hasn't been animated yet and changes some things from the original story. Kinda like the differences between SDFM and DYRL.
