same here. If you want to paint it, that's a different story. But 97% of all HG Gunpla don't really need paint.

Unless you are trying to paint it there's no reason you'll damage your first kit.

:( awww man.

Reviving this thread with a custom that I've been working on for the last little while!

Still needs top coat, but he's otherwise done!

Anyone other than me gonna get the Robot Damashii God Gundam? Let's face it that thing looks BEAST!!!

Hell yes I am! Have preorders gone up yet?

Was wandering around TV tropes and found this.

Fan Nicknames:
Setsuna F. Seiei, because of his past, is sometimes called "Jihad-kun"

THE FUCK JAPAN?

When was this announced and why was I not informed.

Just need parts from star build strike and I can paint this dude.

If anyone here has the Dark Matter pack can you tell me if it'll fit on the UC or Destiny Zaku kits?

They should work with the Destiny Zakus without psychically altering the kit.

The BF back packs are designed so that any kits that uses a Pack connector can be compatible with them, there are other ways you can connect the packs on too like they include an adaptor and jointed arm.

Alright Bandai, you got me. The RE/100 Nightingale looks awesome

The Build Custom sets can fit on absolutely any HG kit. In fact, I just did a video about it:

CAST OFF! CHANGE…SINANJU!

So, I'm trying to dig into some Gundam manga. In the past I've had read all of the original Seed Astray manga and parts of R and X Astray. I've enjoyed them for the most part, but now I'm looking for something else to read.

I'm currently reading on Build Fighters Amazing. It's pretty good (with a kitty Gundam), but English is only up to chapter 8 (which I think is current as it's still ongoing).

Aside from those, I'm having a hard time finding manga that aren't either out of print in English or untranslated (or scanned for that matter). Anyone know a good source of fan translations and the like? I mainly want to know what's translated offically and/or by fans.

Edit: Also, I got the first volume of The Last Outpost some time ago (it was new at the time). I'm considering finishing it. Is it worth tracking down?

Have you tried Zeonic Scanlations?

Thanks, that will be a help for at least the Astray mangas I haven't finished.

Thanks for the answers guys but now I have another stupid question, Can the 1/144th HG Zaku Warrior and/or Gouf Ignited use Striker and/or Silhouette packs?

And if not how difficult would it be to modify them so they could?

I took a peek at the kits over at Dalong.net, it looks like they have a common connection point in the back.

Got around to taking more photos of this guy!

It's a kitbash using the Destiny, AGE 1 Normal, Age 1 Razor, Wing Gundam and 00 Gundam but the V Fin and shoulders I made myself.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet..

I'll probably end up getting this. I loved my SD Gundam figures as a kid, so seeing that in a high-end format really does it for me. That and I like Strike Freedom, I hope they do a 00 Raiser, Turn A and Build Strike in this style.

Started working on my Dark Matter Exia this weekend.

Here's a gallery of my WIP: https://imgur.com/a/3xnIF

The paint job is not the best, but good enough for me since I ran out of paint. Haha.

I'll take proper pictures once the whole kit is complete.

Decided to give Build Fighters a watch since picking up Crossbone Maoh a week ago out of curiosity and interest in the design. Bought Build Strike Full Package yesterday. On top of wanting Zaku Amazing, I'm afraid I'm gonna end up falling down another rabbit hole...

At least for the Build Fighter and any upcoming G Gundam HG models. Since I'm more interested in one-on-one mech fights as opposed to warfare settings.

Open your eyes to the next Gunpla.

"Details will be announced tomorrow,
June 12, 2014 (Thur.) 10am at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2014 event,
GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS official site, and GUNDAM.INFO!"

All of my yes.

So happy this is happening.

YES!

The middle suit is definietly a new Build Strike. Can't tell what the other two are.

The one to the right appears to be (based on the head crests and silhouette) an Airmaster/Zeta hybrid. The SD to the left again looks a little Zeta-ish but could just as easily be some wild Musha type design.

From Gundam.info:
"It has been revealed that a new series of the TV anime GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS will start Fall 2014.

Details like mecha, characters, and story are still shrouded in mystery, we will deliver the latest followups to you as soon as we get them!

Let's definitely check out the new series starting this fall!"

That's right kiddies, we have two Gundam shows airing this fall. :D

*Spits out water*

Two Gundam shows at once? I...can't even.....

Although this probably means that Reconguista won't have that many different suits(because Tomino). So this would be a way to compensate.

I am ready.

I mentioned this in the Haul Thread, but I found RG Strike Freedom at Barnes Nobles. I don't know if this means they will be getting anymore RG kits, or just Destiny and SF.

Sunrise producer Masakazu Ogawa tweets tidbits of info!

So its a whole new cast and crew then? I figured itd be a continuation of the last one, but I guess since its made for anyone to build gunpla, theyd change it up :lol Long as they keep up awesome designs, I wont complain.

I've decided I'd like to get Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn when the English version comes out. However, the US is only getting a digital copy and I'm not a fan of digital PS3 games (mainly because of the huge amounts of harddrive space they take). I know Europe is getting the exact same game as a physical copy, so I'd like to know what my options for importing from Europe are. I know my routes for importing from Japan, but I've never had to import from Europe before. Does anyone know some good sites?

...Please let this have a mono eye main gunpla.*clutches 1/100 ZAKU Warrior to heart*

If you got a amazon account just sign in to it via amazon.co.uk with your account sign and there you go I use .com to get figuarts from USA

Glad to finally get these, and a good price.

Looks good on the shelf. Just need Deathscythe.

fwiw, I've finally finished the main body of my red/blue inversion custom MG Seven Sword.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bp_Rj5MCAAA5tZI.jpg:large

I like this kit, I'm definitely going to have to buy it again to build the regular blue version (since I'm selling my Metal Build Seven Sword *wink wink nudge nudge*), and I think I'm getting hooked up with the Ignition mode version too.
