They can both get hot, but my Paasche eventually sprung a leak somewhere that I could never track down. The Iwata has been nothing but awesome for me. If you'd prefer not to spend the scratch, the Paasche will hold you for a while, though. Also, for whatever reason, the Iwata tends to stick in place better than the Paasche, which liked to twerk around my work table.

 loving finally. Now for AADEs and then decals... It doesn't end, does it? Also, it turns out that Origin Time screwed up and sent me a duplicate part for the right side instead of the left side piece I actually needed. Looks like I'm gonna have to learn how to plaplate.

Hahaha, oh my god they're releasing 1/144 fixed-pose punching hands. This is actually kind of useful, so I hope they release 1/100 versions too.

1/44 Punch Hands sounds awesome. I love posing my God Gundam and Build Burning because they have the most dynamic hands of any HG.

Punching hands would be great for my HGUC Zeta. Right now he's just fist-pumping because his weapons don't fit and his beam sabre is a stick molded onto a hand.

I see Skells went to the Gundam School of Transforming. Guess it couldn't afford Cybertron University.  Kidding aside, it does look pretty neat, but i'm starting to get wary of Koto kits. You've got one last chance Koto - don't you DARE gently caress up Shin Getter-1.

I just built a RG Strike Freedom. The shifting skirt armor is a really neat gimmick, I didn't remember the Strike Freedom doing that in the show. Of course, I wasn't paying super close attention by that point.

PG Unicorn finally showed up in my HLJ warehouse, but not the LED kit. :/ I want to get the P-Club fullarmor parts for it, but the cheapest I've found it for is $150 shipped. Can't really justify that when I probably can't even display it anywhere.

I picked up the new Bandai C-3PO and it is a really gorgeous kit. A surprising amount of articulation (ie; any at all) in the arms, and extreme shiny. They've also done a fantastic job of hiding nub cuts. I thought the 1/12's were about HG size too, and it turns out they're a full head taller.

Yeah, I got the 1/12 Stormtrooper a few weeks ago, and it's great. The articulation is impressive, and it's about the same height as a MG.

Lemon Curdistan posted:You prompted me to check HLJ again and: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN996694/Sci I was going to suggest their Patlabor kits before I read to the end of your post. I'm guessing you already have a Jesta? If you can get a hold of them without paying the insane mark ups the Macross kits Bandai put out a while back seemed pretty decent. There's also Zoids but I'm really unsure of how that falls in the realms of realistic design. They're very mechanical but well, they're all some form of animal. Maybe Code Geass? That has some rad designs but I'm not sure if many (if any) of the grunts ever got kits. Frame Arms has some really cool stuff as well, although the designs vary quite a bit from militaristic army robot to captain spikey pants. Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Armored Core seems to fit your tastes quite well too. Heavily stylized, but still realistic mechs. Only problem is the kits are pretty expensive. This is a good suggestion, although there some are incredibly spindly and/or spikey suits. And as a final suggestion grab the Metal Gear Rex kit.

The MG Ingram is a pretty good kit, though it's getting on in years and is quite a bit simpler than your modern MG: I think they did a particularly good job in nailing the likeness, and most of the seams are well-hidden. Just be aware that the (unpaintable) rubber joint sleeves make it somewhat less posable than it otherwise would be.

That's what I want out of it anyway; I'm not concerned about poseability as long as looks great standing straight and holding the revolver or shotgun at the ready. I've gone ahead and ordered one. Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Armored Core seems to fit your tastes quite well too. Heavily stylized, but still realistic mechs. Only problem is the kits are pretty expensive. I've had a look at what's in the AC section on HobbySearch and a lot of them seem to weird, spiky messes, although there are a few that look decent (Nineball, Sunshine-E), so thanks. I'll wishlist them and grab them when my backlog is less huge, since I've just ordered that Ingram 2 and the Y-Wing. Luminaflare posted:I was going to suggest their Patlabor kits before I read to the end of your post. I'm guessing you already have a Jesta? MG Jesta is on my to-buy list. Also, I just checked and apparently Bandai made a transformable 1/72 VF-1?  Is it a wonky pile of poo poo that won't stay in one piece, or is it actually fairly solid?I wasn't a fan of any of the Code Geass designs, but Frame Arms seems to have some cool stuff, so thanks. Also eww, Zoids.
