You literally re-enacted the 1980's movie Shogun's Ninja!


No one has a better picture than this for the movie.

They're garage resin kits of bimbo-upped versions of the lady robots from mazinger

Also can anyone identify that SD Armored Trooper at the end for me? It seems like it might be an original design.

I don't know what thread to ask this in, so I'll just ask here:

I only like building models of badass robots from shows I enjoyed watching. What GaoGaiGar and, uh, maybe Zoids should I watch so that I can just take all the money out of my bank account and turn it into plastic models as opposed to just buying a shitload of Build Fighters stuff?

The Soul of Chogokin Gaogaigar just came out. It's not a model kit, but holy poo poo. Get it if you can.

Unless you're asking if you should watch Gaogaigar, to which the answer is yes very much yes.

No, that model is incredible, I was just asking if there was a Gaogaigar anime I should watch, and I guess I'll go do that now

Gimme the fuckin goldymarg let me order it nowww.

My favourite part of SoC GaoGaiGar is pushing the train through, because you have to do it just like the show and go slightly too far which pushes the lever that widens the torso before springing back to the right position. The attention to detail and dedication of making it exactly like the animation is nuts.

Because I have an incredible memory for stupid poo poo I recognize the base resin kit they;re built on, polynian or something? They do a big tity resin kits of the lady robots from GGG too.

Right, I recommend the HGBF Hi-Mock to everybody. This little thing is amazing. Polycap hardpoints out the wazoo, it's balance is amazing (stands on one leg with ease), it comes on just two runners, and it is the sturdiest gunpla I've ever seen. Every joint is JUST stiff enough, without being overly difficult, the articulation is great, especially on the torso, and there's going to be HUNDREDS of customized ones.

You need this little guy in your life.

Told you so :colbert:. Seriously, the drat thing's way better than it has any right to be at that price point. Go buy one. In fact, go buy at least two because they're so cheap.

It turns out the kit I needed for a knife for a kitbash (still have to figure out how i'm going to mount it and make it removable) wasn't on the zee zulu (though a cool design) it was on the Genoace Custom:



it's basically a scaled up AT dagger from FMP.

Is there a consensus here on what spray can top coat is the best? Airbrush is not an option for me. I recently got back into the hobby and the best thing I could find at hobby shops in the area was Testors Dullcote. It wasn't bad, honestly, but it looks a little splotchy if you get up really close. I think I remember hearing there are some laws preventing Japanese brands of aerosol sprays from being imported to the states?

It was kind of tough to get your hands on Gunze stuff for a while in the US but it seems to be back in widespread supply now.

It's really nice and solid. My only (petty) complaint is the kneecap gimmick isn't as complex and fancy as the ones on my other RG's.

Yesss, embrace the fancy little customizable bastard :allears:. By the way if you don't know yet, it comes with an alternate set of wrist inserts. So you can attach 1/100-scale hands and wave MG weapons about. hosed if I know why they did it, but damned if it isn't neat.
