I am now kicking myself over how much money I've spent on primer spray cans over the years when a big bottle of vallejo airbrush primer lasts like 30 times as long for the same price. Stuff works pretty well to boot.

My 20+ year old Queadluun-Rau (the original design, this's a recast) kit can finally stand on its own! I've got most of the joints figured out, just the elbows left to work out. Ended up printing out assemblies for the knee joints. It's such a styalized design there isn't a massive amount of possibility but I wanted to be able to move it a bit to pose when it's done.

It's kinda crazy that not a single one of the multiple companies who have a Macross license have ever made even a semi modern kit of this or any of the similar Zentradi battle suits that I can't spell.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit because Bandai's engineers have been going hard with 30MM making a standardized model frame for 1/144 scale kits. Letters from on high to the mechanical designers to tell them what is needed on the show to make the gunpla work.

I can see it, but I think it's just a roundabout way of Gundam to 30MM and back again. The three-hole design in the Aerial Gundam's shield quite possibly came from the similar hole layout in some of the 30MM pieces, and the Dilanza's looking similar to the Revernova's chonky build but it's also got some similarities to the Spinner Rodi from IBO.

Bandai gunpla liger 0 could be interesting.


Edit: Nevermind. Chogokin is a line of normal action figures which is unfortunate. Maybe in the future. I know there are zoid kits, just would be interesting to compare to bandai on it, but not yet I guess.

yeah, there may have been others but the remade HG leo is what the 30mm frames seem based on (or maybe some other gunpla evolution project branded HGs that I didn't build)

Gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed in this next phase. Half the stuff (like the Gundams and the 30 Minute Missions) had already been revealed, and most of the other stuff, while neat from an engineering standpoint (like the new Goku) isn't exciting in the way that I hope for from these things.

Anyone else get the feeling the Lfrith's shield does something? Like opens out into a claw, or big beam sabre, or something like that?

Yeah, it looks a bit like it could break up into autonomous bits like late UC/00.

Same with booger-boo, that backpack definitely does a thing. You can even see a swing out handle(?) in the 360.

Edit edit: Looking at the Gundam as well, that shield definitely has a gimmick because the 2 halves don't line up properly and the side widgety bits have a space for them to swing out.

Like this?

Interesting to have Barbatos as one of the big three there. The most popular version only made 18th in the big Gundam poll a couple years back, but it does seem to move kit pretty well.

Might be because Barbatos is one of the most recent, and thus gets a lot of casual attention
