just built him, an awesome kit, but thanks to the color of the plastic it makes hiding sprew marks almost impossible

I need to watch more Gundam. I have a whole bunch of it. I did start watching Wing but stopped(for no real reason) just before Epyon is introduced. I was into the model kits for a while. Then I got into toku stuff and Gundam models sort of took a back seat. I still get that model kit itch every once in a while.
Deathscythe is by far my favorite. If they ever make a PG Deathscythe Hell Custom, it is SO bought. |

To each his own. I was tired of seeing Gundam fiction that was BSing themselves as being "hard sci-fi" yet falling into almost predictable templates of psychics and mecha and two sides that aren't really wrong...just opposed blah blah blah. I respect the fact that the OO team went full-fledged to break the mold by introducing a radically different take on truly Alien life rather than go with some Macross-flavored BS and still relevant with the overarching theme that people can change and peace can be attained if ulterior motives are put aside in place of actual understanding. I'm probably going to piss off plenty of people for saying this but as a person that has seen the Original series, 08th MS Team, Stardust Memories, War in a Pocket , G Gundam, F91 and a little of Wing and SEED/Destiny, OO is probably the most compelling series of the bunch both story and design wise. And I HATED it at the beginning because I thought it was just another take on the Wing formula. |

I love OO the series. I thought season 1 was great and season 2 was fantastic. But the movie was really unnecessary. Which makes me really sad because I was incredibly pumped for it at the time :( |

i remeber i had the captain gundam figure as a kid, it was cool, a little chibi gundam :lol

When mankind faces a species that cannot communicate by normal means? It's admittedly a Trekkie/Dr.Who type scenario which would have been better accepted in other types of Sci-fi but you know....gimme big robots beating on big robots is all the sci-fi people expect from a Gundam movie. I get that, its really how different people accept what is permissible in their favorite genre. What I say probably won't change anyone's minds about the movie but it really sucks that there are most viewers that will dismiss the entire OO saga as a waste of time just because they didn't like the movie because 'hurr ALIENS?!' in their Gundam. For one thing I think OO finally gave their "psychics" the Innovators an actual purpose other than just these guys who are seemingly gifted with pseudo-Force type powers that gives them an edge in Mobile Suit combat. Which is to say if people can accepted concepts like Newtypes, X-Rounders, Coordinators (though to be honest I really don't remember if those guys were any different from reg humans) and other supposedly evolve humans in Gundam fiction, extraterrestrial life should not be so much of a stretch. |
Ah yes, Gundam. My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow lately has been focused on the Gundam merchandise I passed over way back. So much of it costs an arm and a leg now. No, I'm not talking about model kits. I actually hate model kits. Good if you like them, I don't want model kits with a bunch of joints (please don't try convince me otherwise). No, I mean the DVDs and non-model action figures I skipped.
Anyways, I have a soft spot for some of the more out there designs of G and the like, yet my favorites will anyways be the more basic designs like Red Frame, Ez8, and Rising. Brief thoughts on the fictions: UC: The best part of UC are the OVAs (08th MS Team being the best Gundam series ever). The main UC shows just don't do much for me (it might be their age, I'm not sure). Seed: I really liked Seed (though I enjoyed the more lighthearted Astray manga more). Only got about half way through Destiny. Didn't hate it, just never finished it for one reason or another. 00: All I have to say on 00 is I enjoyed the first season and kind of hated season 2. Never cared to watch the movie. Others: G is awesome if only for how wacky it gets with the designs and quotes. Last series I watched and really enjoyed was X. Couldn't get into AGE. Wing was so much better when I was younger and Gundam was Robotech without the pop idol BS (Don't hurt me, I love Macross, I was just tired of the pop idol stuff in it at the time). |
Not really found of SDs, but the new Ryubi Strike Gundam is looking really really cool:

The Romance of the Three kingdoms stuff I actually like and I own a couple of them. Just the SD aesthetic in general just really isn't for me.

Are there any Gundam VS players here? The game is fun as hell but at the competitive level, like all games that are elevated to that level is boring to watch though intense to play. Probably the best co-op/fighting Gundam game ever and with Full Boost in Japan still churning out units, it looks to be the most comprehensive of the series covering almost an aspect of every piece of Gundam fiction (well...except maybe G-Savior).

really, just get a pair of plastic sprue snips and a gundam marker and have fun! getting into gunpla is quite easy |
Quote:
But I don't think I like panel lining very much. I tried it out on 7th Gundam and it didn't turn out so well. Also, I started the Master Grade GM Quel build last night. The sprues on this kit seem to be of a different quality plastic than I'm used to. Trying to clean up all the injection points is a nightmare so the head is looking pretty rough on mine. It's such an odd dark blue that it's just really hard to clean any of the scrap up without making it look bad. |
I highly suggest getting these for panel lining, they work soooooo much better then the Gundam markers:

Yea, I've heard those Gundam Markers get gunky. I'll have to try that stuff Kiryu.
|
Anyone have tips for getting a cleaner cut on my sprues? The head on my GM Quel has turned out awful because I can't seem to get a very clean edge. Can't seem to get the excess trimmed even with an exacto.
|
Got this in today, though i can't build it until after work:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...07861186_o.jpg and then in a few days i'll have the HGUC GP-02A Phyalis! |

I haven't built any Gundams, but in my experience, using a tool to remove parts from sprues is redundant. I just use my fangahs(although I did totally break the fold out handle on HyoRyu's gun crane thingy because of this).
