154 parts for 12 small parts. Goddammit Mechanicore, you're killing me here. And they're so insanely detailed that even someone like me who models for god more often than not isn't gonna bother panel lining all of it until I know exactly what's gonna be showing because gently caress that.


Very nice Matsumoto Custom you've got there :kheldragar:

If it's any consolation, the kit's looking way better than the box art made me think it would. Even if I don't understand the chest-penis.

It, and the white thing below it, is a giant I-Field Generator. It's huge because the Deep Striker is huge, and it's jutting out like that it so it can cover more of the suit.

Speaking of things that have ludicrously large guns and radomes:



Head, upper/lower torso, chest... thing, left and right arms, I-Field generator, main gun, radome, backpack, and stand are finished. 11/18 steps done, finally getting there. :toot:

Unfortunately this leaves me with the waist, 2x leg thrusters, 2x main thrusters, gun, and verniers. And all but the gun and verniers are hilariously parts heavy, and the verniers, for being one step, still involves building four of them. :shepface:

And then there's the decals, because I am basically going to glue this thing in when I put everything together, so I'm gonna decal everything up first before I do the final assembly and :shepicide:

I've been following your progress on this for a little while now, and I have to ask just what in god's name this monstrosity is supposed to be?

DW summed it up pretty well, it's Mechanicore's take on the Deep Striker.

Mechanicore is a third party group who does stylized 1/100 versions of the biggest monster suits from the Universal Century. They did the Kshatriya (under their former name, ELYN), Xi, and Penelope. And soon they'll be releasing their version of the Qubeley

For the Xi and Penelope, they pretty much just made downsized, slightly altered versions of the G-System resin kits, but their Deep Striker is about 99% their own molds, minus the like ten pieces they have in the chest that's straight up the Bandai Ex-S parts. I never got their Kshatriya (:smith:), and I'm not interested in the Qubeley, but the rest I have, since it fits perfectly into my own personal sense of design aesthetics. Which is to say, huge, overly detailed, and spiky. Here's a friend holding the main gun, for scale.

It's... Pretty big. And I'm only mostly done with this 2000 piece, 3 kilo, one meter long monstrosity after 6 months.

It looks like Gundam Planet is also getting the 1/144 Dendrobium for $299, and it's 10%off off this weekend. Get your orders in if you ever wanted one and have a meter long space to display it. Neo Zeong too.

Someone in Korea is producing 1/100 Zaku II rifles from The Origin.

Does anyone here know enough Korean to determine if they ship overseas? Or am I gonna have to ask around for folks station in Korea to act as a trans-shipper if I throw them a few bucks for their services?

Did you happen to pick those up from the Toys on Fire booth? You didn't see them selling an rg zaku 2 did you? I ask because I ordered one from them, went over to their store to pick it up, and discovered they'd taken their entire stock to AN in Toronto, taking my order with them.

RD Nu was exactly what I wanted. It's really nice having an articulated Nu Gundam that looks like the original lineart and doesn't fall apart at a touch!

It has a nifty expansion set too, but I'd never be able to fit the giant pyramid on my desk so screw that.

nope. Only thing I bought from a dealer was the hg nobel gundam from silver snail.

Yeah I heard how bad it was before buying it. It can't do the iconic "holding the guns with both hands" pose at all. I'll think of some basic pose for it though.

Also the MB Freedom is super nice. I'm really surprised by its heft.

The MG Dom is a million times better and not at all that expensive relatively speaking, you should really look into one.

Seconding the MG Dom/Rick Dom. The construction is RE/100ish, but with a lot more polycaps, and it has a dash of modern MG in the legs, but it works great and the thing is really chunky and satisfying when you're done. It's simple to make, but everything seems to fit just fine. It's a relaxing build.

I prefer the MG Rick Dom because of the gigantic beam bazooka and the duller colors, but either one is fine.
