Here is Solscud007's MG Thunder Hammer. It might have been posted earlier in the thread. The original TH thread has been retired for a while. So many people were impressed with the reproduction that I think a fuller description of its origin is worth mentioning. What EXO isn't telling you is that he commissioned a guy to take on building the kit from scratch using the images from the magazine. The thread blew up like Hiroshima with interest from members and the guy agreed to recast the kit and some lucky members were fortunate enough to cop a set. Although it isn't a MG you I have to add it here because the magazine scan doesn't do it much justice. Both these pieces are most impressive in my opinion.

That Thunder Hammer MG was pretty cool, but it's subjective. I went back and forth on two occasions debating on purchasing a kit and ultimately decided against it. I haven't seen a Minmay Guard I haven't liked, whether it's clad in the Thunder Hammer Amor, fitted with Super & Strike parts, or just plain Jane, but if it stiffens your noodle I'm sure many would agree that your MGTH is probably one of the coolest ones out there.

Are you kidding me? Already weathered and panel lined??? You're one brave dude!!! Surely you purchased a case like Agent-GHQ!!

Yeah, but don't let that discourage you. I started posing my stuff when I first joined the forums almost two years ago and the more I fiddle around with poses, it seems like the better some get. Some guys have a knack for them and ruskii happens to be one of them. Looks like you have a creative niche when it comes to posing so keep with it. It looks like you can bring a different flavor to this thread!

Pretty neat watching these fun poses, but I have to admit ruskii still holds the crown for some of the coolest poses!

Yes, that is the "exclusive" 1/48 TV version 1A max along with a v2 1/60 resting on its belly next to it. Ironically this Minmay Guard was a custom 1/48 Max VF-1S. Figured I could sacrifice it since it wasn't made in 1/48 scale...that way I got to keep my Roy VF-1S.

Thanks! Celebration has taken place and I am still giddy about this one. With the MG I think you either love it or hate it. I hated this thing when I first saw it. Over time I began to admire its coolness. Simply overjoyed at finally owning one! Thanks man! Kurt is a talented guy. I hear people compliment designers and what not saying the person "capture the vision exactly". When I say Kurt captured my vision he was dead on point and even went as far as doing things I hadn't even thought of. I've only transformed it once and found all sorts of surprises I did not expect. The guy has a gift and is really a pleasure to work with. Told him once what I wanted and he got it dead center! DOAT!!! A beaut she is! And with that being said here are a few more pics as it will live the rest of its life in fighter mode on this launch arm after one transformation by me. Simply beautiful!

1/48 till the day I day brah! As cool as the new 1/60's are, only the gargantuan scale of the 1/48 can showcase the sweetness of the Minmay Guard!

Now that's just insane! Looks like ruskii has some competition...

Cool deal. I'm sure they'll be popular. Feel free to use any of my amatuer poses, but you'll probably need to check with individuals for their permission or have the seller direct those interested to the forums. Definitely check with ruskii has he makes the most of of the stands. Good luck!

My camera and photography skills don't do this Paris Act Minmay Guard the proper justice it deserves, but here are pics nonetheless. 501 is in the building!

The pictures Kurt post once he's completed a project really doesn't do his work justice. There is unbelievable detail in his work. The are little unexpected surprises of detail all over that he doesn't showcase. My camera and photography skills don't do this Paris Act MG the proper justice it deserves either, but here are pics nonetheless. 501 is in the building!
