This one's a secret Secret Santa, instead of mailing something to the person you get paired with you go to their house and throw an Acguy kit tied to a brick through their window.

It should be a Zaku Amazing, because it has about as much poseability as a brick.

No see, everyone who participates in this one has to deal in Gundam Xs.

Also yeah, I actually noticed ADTRW had one right after I posted that. We can do a second gunpla only one if you guys want, but it'd be easier to just use that one.

The fun of secret santa is that you don't know what you're getting. I think limiting the skope to gunpla limits that

There are so many series I'd actually argue there'd still be a surprise. :v:

Theoretically it would just be "declare a series, other guy will send you one thing from that". And for those smart asses who ask for stuff that only has one or two modern kits, well the old NGs exist. :unsmigghh:

I'd be up for a Gunpla secret santa, but only if you can somehow guarantee I won't have to pay three times the price of the kit in postage. :v: That's the downside of being in Europe.

It's REALLY good. I paid big prices for it years ago and got the new one too because it's that drat good. Perfect transformation Buster machines...

Could you order something from Amazon.com to be sent to someone in the US?

Potentially. It depends on what restrictions Amazon.com has configured for buying Gunpla. For a lot of stuff, it's just plain not possible to buy from the US site without a US bank card.

you guys might as well use the VEGETA/ADTRW Secret Santa. it has an option to not ship/receive internationally, and you can just put models as something you'd want

Yeah. There's also preorder pages up for mystery IBO mobile suits A and B, which haven't been revealed yet but GundamGuy had two extremely pixelated silhouettes.

I want a 1/100 Hyakuren.

Looks like another Ace Graze variant and what looks like it might be another Gundam, judging by the head fins. What ever it is, its got one hell of a fat rear end.

The head on the new Graze looks like a commander variant of the Kai, for whatever that's worth. Guessing it's a Tekkadan mobile suit.

Kind of fits to have everything they get be made of the older suits they trashed.

Hey yall Koto is putting out a 1/60 Arbalest to go with the 1/60 Laevatein from a couple of years ago:

If you hadn't already heard: FMP! is getting a new series that is planned to finish out the whole story - we may get some more models out of it.

It really feels like a cruel fate that, for designs that I love as much as the FMP stuff, they'll never get a really respectable MG equivalent in either size or quality. :negative:

Okay, sure, I may not be able to get a 1/48 Arbalest or Laevatein, but that might do.

Well in the future though, that's a pretty big price point, and I have a 1/100 Deep Striker that I need to find shelf space for.

I finally got my best friend to buy a gunpla. He got a Hy-Gogg and he wants to paint it as if it's taken a lot of salt-water weathering and damage, "like the old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea vehicles at Disney." Any tips for him for creating weathering effects like these? Thanks again =)

Dammit, I've even been on the Major Williams site before, just not this tutorial. Bookmarking it this time.

Thank you very much for the link. He will ADORE the fact that the process involves actual salt.

Finishing the GM's paint job today, then tomorrow I'll be able to build what will dry today. Sorry it's taken so long, that's just my fault. =/
