Soooo, I managed to complete the basic frame of my Banshee Norn today. Now all that's left and the weapons and shit. Fullsize image here.
http://i.imgur.com/3UgQjf2l.jpg Some comments: Looking at the manual, it does look like this suit isn't meant to be panel lined. I think it might just actually pull it off, what with having all those developed grooves and shit. The hip thrusters and back thrusters have bling stickers for them, which I applied. I'm kinda 2 minds about it, i think paint would be better for the gunpla... though it'd be pain for me. :p The backpack is heavy. If I stand straight, my Banshee tips over. I had to do a more action-ish pose so that it'd stay upright. I may skip matte coat on this machine, and just use the matte coat for my Jesta Cannon. Also, looking at the Banshee, the Jesta connection becomes a lot stronger. |

Also how did you get your gold marker to come out like that? Mine spits out this dirt/shit brown thing, no gold at all whatsoever |

THe big problem I have is that the elbow joint keeps on coming apart, which is annoying. Gonna havta borrow my mom's nail polish to bulk up the joint. Also, I think what Zero is saying is that high heat is causing the oil and the ink and shit to split apart. |

So keep your new marker somewhere relative cool (not refrigerator lol) |

Hmm, then to use the warm water idea
'browning' seems to be a common issue with gold marker in general |
What do you guys think of this price?:
http://www.genteikits.com/mgdoubleooseven I really do want me a MG 00 7S/G in Inspection colors (Reminder I don't and cannot paint) If anyone knows a cheaper and trustworthy site to get this from let me know |

8000 yen is basically 150% of the price of the standard 7-Sword retail price (5500 yen). The price still makes sense and in your case (living in US and all), I don't think I can find a better deal. I'd say go for it ;). |
so Keroro Gunso kits are compatible with all grades, has anyone ever tried to mix & match with those guys? :heh:
|
So is there much difference on the regular and the limited edition Gold Beargguy San? Pic related.

So this month's new model kit announcement is... the HGUC Zeta II: :eek:
http://i.imgur.com/zSqZ0gM.jpg Also, HG G-Self, aka the main mecha for G Reconquista: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ccu_L_lVrd...1028-62073.jpg |

Man, G-Self looks downright TINY
It's basically preteen equivalent of gundam. |
Regarding G-Self, I don’t mind the design at all. It’s the color-composition that I have a problem with. The wing-pack in particular is an eyesore thanks to the glaring red contrast to the blue chest & shoulders. It’s Gundam AGE Titus & Double-Bullet all over again. Bad color composition, too simplistic and toy-like. They should learn from Zeta, X, Strike, Freedom, Exia, 00 & Qan[T].
Oh, there's a HGUC Zeta II? Nice...although it's just a fancier version of the Rezels I'm still glad we get it. |

About why I'm on the fence on this: Mainly, there's bits about the G-Self that I actually like--eg still keeping the basic Gundam design while doing something different with it (The head, mainly). But the rest reminds me of what I don't like about the Force Impulse (the scrawny wing backpack that looks more tacked-on than a proper backpack). I think the legs could stand to lose those funny pods. Also, it feels like the limbs, head and body were done by different designers then slapped together. To wit: The arms look very traditional-square Okawara-ish. The legs remind me of Katoki's Virtual On work, and the torso looks different again--looks like (00) Ebikawa's work. |
so everyone expects the G-Self to be designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto?
Evangelion Rebuild movie versions don't count......... |
I rather like the G-Self's design... right up until I reach the forehead.
