Finished up the Delta Plus. I've gotta say that it's good looking robot, a great looking wave rider, but one of the most frustratingly fiddly things ever. Great build all around. But the amount of moving joints, on top of them being weak, makes the transformation fall apart a bit. I pulled the shoulders out of the torso, and arms of the shoulder multiple times and the snaps that lock the hip assembly onto the backpack are almost non-existent. The transformation itself is needlessly frustrating but the result is very satisfying. Not sure when I'll take it back to robot mode.
FYI it's not perfect transform either. There are 2 additional panels you have to insert mid transformation to lock the hips into place. http://imageshack.us/a/img43/7585/dscn1047ru.jpg |
So I've decided on the first two I'm gonna get in a long time.The Jackedge and Age-2 Darkhound.

Got something that's been a bit of a grail for me ever since I started to get into Gundam:
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7423/8...25f31928_c.jpg I got a 1/144 Sword Calamity Conversion Kit. The kit itself wasn't the grail but rather the suit itself. I always wanted this guy in Kit form but the only other option out there is a resin kit which requires you to already have the MG Freedom frame….Resin kits are a bit out of my skill range at the moment. I got this off a local collector for a very good price. |

The 1/144 is a conversion kit that requires you to have the HG Calamity. Stuff like this is packed in with magazines all the time but become quite rare once they go out of print. Only thing is, these special kits usually will required paint though. |
Finding this thread made me quite happy. Gundam rates ridiculously high on my favorite mecha series. I remember ordering old NG 1/144 scale kits from the back of magazines. My friend and I didnt know what we were ordering, just that it looked cool. A couple of issues of Hobby Japan circa G Gundam showcasing some ridiculous builds of the Devil and Rose gundams just sparked our imaginations. I bought a few kits and followed the release of the various series from Bandai Visual.
Most of those old kits are gone now, lost or destroyed. The HGUC of the Hi-Nu got me back into gunpla a couple of years ago. I love the HGUC line, that 1/144 scale just does it for me. The release of the Wing suits in MG convinced me to retry the larger scale. Quote:

Just gonna point out that the Bisidian Suits are perfect for gokaiger modifications. :D
I think the G-Xiphos might work well for Gokai Blue…but I've been mulling over the idea of turnning him into Gokai Silver instead. The head piece makes me think it could work for his bandanna-like design his helmet has. |

Is that a KitBash?

The rifle I gave him is modified from the G-Exes, but that's as far as "Kitbashing" goes. Only thing I did was modify the eyes so that it was more of a visor, made a new sword piece to the best of my abilities and the paint job. Everything is just barebones as is. |

So, after i got my iPod where it would download my photos, here is my small gundam collection, i havent even bought one in a year or so But, if I could find HGFC 1/144 Shining Gundam and Master Gundam + Fuuinsaiki, and Nobell Berserker Mode, I would love to get them.
And as you can see, I kinda have 2 main series I have, G and 00 season 2. (and as much as I hate Wing, I have the Ver EW of Heavyarms) |

Does anyone know if they made a Robot Damashii of God/Burnin Gundam? Or the 00 Raiser? I am not very familiar with RD :lol

00 Raiser, yes but you'd have to either buy them separately or get a Trans Am set which has both. Quote:

So, to keep myself from buying Battride War* I went for the closest thing and got Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, . It's pretty fun, though the menus are confusing. I'd like to know why there are times I have to manually start a text cutscene buried in the menu to continue the story. That's just dumb. That aside, I'm enjoying myself. Haven't unlocked most of the suits I'd like to play yet, but I have Double X so I'm happy. I know a lot of people don't care about the dubs (some even out right hating them), but I was happy to hear most of the actors return and to finally have English voices for some characters. However, Domon's new voice is hilarious, but fitting of him. *Nothing against Battride War, I just can't bring myself to pay that much for a video game. Especially when I can't understand it. PS Who was in charge of naming characters in Unicorn? I will never take a guy named "Full Frontal" seriously. :lol |

One day I would like to track down the 12" DX God Gundam. Not sure if it was brought over in the US but if it was, it was a limited release. I missed out on all the 12" DX G-Gundams that were brought stateside in 01 or 02, same with the DX Nu and Sazabi. Apparently there is a 12" DX Wing Zero Custom which was a Japan or Asia/Japan release only. Quote:

Yea i really hope we get more G gundam stuff next year, if anything more HGFC kits (i would kill for a new maxter :lol) and i am pretty sure domons actor retired so they got a new guy (wuick fact that same guy also voiced Irvine from Zoids: Chaotic Century) |

...And now I need to watch more G Gundam... |

Frontal is a fnatastic villain, Banagher is actually pretty entertaining once he gets past the whiny Amuro/Kamille stage, the new mecha introduced in the films are excellent, and the cast of returning characters settings and ships is really cool to see as well. |

And speaking of Unicorn, while checking something I noticed there's an official English dub of Unicorn that's even included with Japanese releases. I'm now curious if all the episodes have this and if the final episode will too. I hope, I prefer my Gundam that way. |
