What the hell, people aren't even talking about how amazing the Guntank is, you're the worst. The guntank has an amazingly detailed frame, and is crazy poseable, definitely not just a brick on wheels. Cool poo poo like hydraulics and an actual shock suspension are right there, and it has a better waist movement than like half the biped MGs I have. The interlinked treads are super well designed, and while they do kind of take forever, they're also super good looking when you get them all done. Plus, it has twin-linked firing action, who doesn't love that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz63oZRln5A

That is a super cool gimmick but mine only works on one hand for reasons I've never been able to figure it out.

Wellllll I'm still gonna get a Guntank regardless, it'll just be in a month or so as a housewarming gift to myself  I have Plans for it, and a dedicated modeling/painting workspace will be so much better for those plans than my current setup. The frame and gimmicks on that thing are super cool.Bimmi posted:This is dope as gently caress. Couldn't someone theoretically make one remote-controlled, provided they hollow out the bottom and find/make an appropriately-sized drive system? Replace the Core Block with one of those tiny speaker & card reader things some model planes use and have it play the MSG theme and sound effects, and make the LEDs better and and and Edit: yesssssss http://youtu.be/f3BMFA9iAqE Astro Creep fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Mar 26, 2016 |

 Today I learned that bright red is a pain the rear end color to completely cover up with just primer. Also despite my greatest efforts to procrastinate, this project seems like it will be done by the end of this weekend. Hell must be freezing over.

I kind of want that mg guntank. The light up console in the cockpit is a neat gimmick to me.

 New lineart for the Unicorn came out. It could just be me, but it look a hell of a lot like RG lineart. Like does anything else use those segmented gray strip decals?

Same old RX-0 lineart with some new markings slapped on. I doubt it's significant of much in and of itself. You know the RG is coming, though, and you KNOW it's going to be another god-forsaken "technological showpiece" that explodes if you so much as look at it.

I friend returned from Japan last week, said he couldn't find waterslide decals anywhere. I'm tempted to start making my own out of testor's decal paper and decal bonder. This is so ridiculous, it shouldn't be this much of a hassle to get a 3" strip of decals on each gunpla kit. Hell I bet it's cheaper than including stickers.

They should just make non-transformable RG Unicorns so I can buy two and then two Banshees and then a green P-Bandai exclusive

I wish the MG RX-0 Banshee came molded in black so I wouldn't have to paint it. I'm in an apartment so I can't set up a good place for painting kits. It's definitely on my list of kits I want to paint.

I would expect it to be good for two reasons: - all the P-Bandai products in my stash have the order form for parts, so Bandai will apparently sell them to you. - even if not, you may be OK if the part you need is from the base kit and not one of the special parts unique to the P-Bandai release.

I double-checked this ~9 months ago when I initially torqued the hell out of my Tallgeese III, and it's a unique part. I'll jump in queue in that case; I think I have all the paperwork from the box, so I should be good.

One thing to note about this episode - it contained that rare Gundam moment where a Zaku got to surgically dissect a Gundam. Seriously, McGillis just walked all over his old buddy.

Got around to test fitting this thing  and man, smashing together all the spare parts into a new beam rifle actually looks really bad. I think I'm just gonna throw on the OYW version of the beam rifle instead.
