If they aren't going to release an Alvaaron model, I'd like to try making one myself. I've never ventured into the world of kitbashing though, so could anyone give any tips for this undertaking? What do I need? What techniques do people use to customize models into different suits? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Awakened Weltall was awesome.

A model of Xenogears with the energy wings though = effing pro. Someone totally needs to make that.

Upcoming model kits

so can anyone tell me how many ways to paint a gundam model?

I can only come up with 3:

Manual paint.

Manual Spray paint.

Airbrush.

Pic shows off the special stickers and markings that'll come with the HG 1/144 00 Raiser set, and it's also mentioned that the 00 Gundam will come in "special coloring"...

i dont mind havingmultiple hg 00 gundam lol
1/100 Arios looks better than hg counter part!!!!!

Hopefully the "special coloring" is Trans-Am mode. I mean, what else could it be?

Considering that the special GN Condenser stickers shown in this image are green, and not red like the Trans-Am Gundam models, I highly doubt that. It'd probably be similar to the HCM-Pro 00 Raiser - a slightly different tone or something :heh:

gross injection perhaps plus slighlty diff color tone as you mention.....:eyespin:

MG Shin Musha again, with it's own shrine... :twitch: :uhoh:

Anyone else really really REALLY excited for the Robot Damashii Garrazo?

Is the Hcm-pro seravee out today (Jan 7)?? Will it reveal the final secret of seravee?? Frankly, I am more hooked into Seravee's hidden ability than 00-raiser right now XD

^^ same so whats the deal wit the big bad suit?

Terrible choice for colors

Pics of GN Archer boxart, revealing its mysterious pilot...or not

Nothing really surprising, but at least that's one speculation out of the way. :heh:

PROVING THE OBVIOUS!!!

... "This is not fighting, this is for the sake of saving lives!"

SWEET!!!^ :love:

Can anyone please translate what is says about the GN Archer and Marie? Thank you! :D

EDIT: I says the pilot is Soma? What the hell?! Any explanation why it says that?

The description mentioned that Marie was her "birth name".

Same reason she's still called Soma Peries in the EDs, probably because "Soma Peries" is a more familiar name than "Marie Parfacy" to audiences. Though they do say "Her real name is Marie Parfacy" in the profile.

And its entirely possible that the Soma Peries personality takes over for combat purposes. Marie did say that Soma is still a part of her.

Again, Soma is not a separate personality like Alle/Halle, she's just an amnesiac/brainwashed Marie.

soooo nice!!!!!!! i so want them XD

wow definitely want it :upset:


Edit: it's already out?

Then why, exactly, did she say that Soma was an artificial personality implanted in her?

you know what this means? the Gn archer will probably use it's Mobilesuit mode in episode 14

Amnesiac/brainwashed = new personality. Its not a SPLIT personality. Soma being "a part of her" means that with her Marie memories back, both personalities have merged.

Hot damn, that thing looks ace!

Kinda similar Backpack to HGUC SuperGundam...It's not that massive tho...minus Super's Kingsized Beam Rifle as well....Overall...I like it...But I got to buy Arios first...

By the way...I saw a Dengeki Hobby Magazine in my local bookstore that have a 1/144 GN-XXX Rasiel Model Kit as it's bonus....Just want to ask...can we get Rasiel elsewhere other than from the Magazine Bonus??...DId Bandai Release it's Official 1/144 HG00 Model Kit??

so how about gundam markers?

Gundam Markers are used in conjunction with the 3 stated painting methods, so technically they aren't a separate method of painting. They are usually used to paint the small cracks and crevices that the 3 painting methods can't easily reach. This is commonly known as panel lining.

ok thnx! but wats an air brush? isnt it same as spray paint?
and wats a finishing spray?
