I was right about the Sinanju's bazooka!

D:

Sword Impulse when?

Also, did they ever release the Launcher/Sword Striker packs for the HGCE Aile Strike Gundam? Or do the ones that come with the old HG Strike kits or the Perfect Strike work?

No, this is a first. We got a HGCE Strike Rouge but that's a simple recolor. Blast Impulse is the first non-main striker/silhouette pack we've gotten in the line.

Most noteworthy thing in the pics is that we might get storage racks for the javelins, which I wasn't counting on. I'm also optimistic the pack won't be sticker heavy.
 
So the Launcher/Sword striker from older Strike kits DOES work with HGCE Aile Strike, from what I've looked up.

It also seems like you can replace part of the newer AIle Striker with a part from the Perfect Strike to be able to recreate the combined backpack.

Definitely looks like the same kind of connection.

Built the HG Barbatos and it was pretty fun build and looks really cool standing with the mace. Not a fan of the shoulder armor so keeping that off. Started the HG Graze and it's really interesting so far.

I think I'm going to end up buying a lot of the 1/144 IBO kits lol need to get Akihiro's Graze at some point.

Posted this on /m/ and /toy/ and didn't get murdered!

Here is Jim, I messed up a little on the panel lining of the upper calf, I tried to scribe into the calf and slipped...

Other than that this is my first ever build and first ever model kit... I gotta say Gunpla is a HUGE load of fun and I will be continuing this hobby :).

This community is incredible too; I've had so much advice and positiveness aimed towards me getting into Gunpla that I just can't fathom not being apart of it!

Anyway this is a WIP the first picture includes lining on the ankle guards but I've removed them, as you can see in the bottom picture.

Finally got around to top coating my GM Custom and Ez8. This is my first time top coating so I hope it turns out well. I'll post some pics when I'm finished.
 
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN RE:0096 Episode 10 – From the Scorching Earth
Can someone save Banagher please, I can't handle him like this. Its too sad, too pitiful. I miss him being, well him.

Riddhe too, and poor dealings with Audrey, how can she avoid him like that.

Actually sad episode for everyone, I just hope
Marida wont be changed too much now that she was reprogrammed? Banagher can set her free I hope, unless he loses himself to NTD.
 
I must be too used to the Japanese voices in IBO, because the English ones all sound a little awkward. A lot of them are voice actors I like, but they just don't sound right except for the adult characters and they aren't important. I also noticed a lot of the lazy animation that I missed before. The fight scenes were still great though.

I thought the dub was mostly very good. Some of the background supporting cast weren't as good as the main cast, but everyone was pretty well captured. A very good dub overall.

The one thing that really bugged me is that everyone is pronouncing Mikazuki's name wrong.

I only thought Gaelio was an odd voice choice as it made it, in my view, seem like a different character than he really is. Otherwise, Eugene was the best voice of the mix, with RideTakaki, Shino, and Yamagi being favorites. McGillis sounded really hot which is perfect.

Dude Audrey jumped out of a moving plane with no parachute to get out of dealing with Riddhe she wants nothing to do with his creeper ass.
 
Finished my first watch of Turn A Gundam. Was originally not gonna bother on the series based on the premise, very little action/bodycount, and the fact that Loran looked like a girl, but was surprised at how good it was. I think my biggest annoyance upon finishing the series right now is that merrybell didn't bite it. Probably the most psychopathic character in the show with no redeeming qualitites and she got off scot free.

Riddhe apologists, and the "Riddhe is cool so far in the 3-5 episodes I've watched, he has the best Mobile Suits too" squad.
Great way to sound like a righteous butt head.

Seriously though Riddhe can't be mentioned with out some one on Gaf screaming about how much they hate Riddhe. Granted I do like the character but at this point it's old.

This is nearing levels the old UC Vs AU of just saying it to cause a scene. Unicorn is old enough now that we really should be moving on from Fuck Riddhe to opinions on the show both positive and negative (for which Riddhe can certainly be) but far to often it comes down to people getting pissed tower what he did to their Waifu and simply saying Fuck Riddhe.

At this point only I ever say anything positive about the character because the second he comes up its usually a list of four or five people yelling fuck Riddhe.

Given how much greatness that Unicorn has its sad that so much of the talk of the show gets drown out by haters of Riddhe.

Riddhe is many things but at least he's more likeable than Lynn Kaifun.

Oh there are character far far worse then Riddhe and I even like some of them *Dorothy Catalonia* but I get the faults with him.

It can just be hard when its litteraly a wall of Fuck Riddhe lol.
 
I was mostly being facetious.

All of my interactions with Gundam fans is here, and here it's pretty much "I hate Riddhe", " Riddhe isn't that bad, the one bad thing doesn't ruin him", and "Currently watching the show and so far Riddhe is cool"


>>>/m/

And yeah he had the best mobile suit
Banshee Norn

If he had piloted a Jesta too I would firmly be in that camp.

Dorothy's not even that bad. She's bat shit, but she's fun bat shit. You ever see the original Macross by any chance? Few characters are on the level of "fuck this dude" like Lynn Kaifun is.

Nope.

I've only seen Macross Plus.

I want to watch 7 and Zero but right now I'm doing RWBY and looking into Might Gain.

OG Macross is excellent and I like Frontier as well. Macross 7 is...well...um...it takes some getting used to. I ended up liking it a lot, but Basara is not my favorite character, that and you can't watch Macross 7 without seeing the first show cause there are some definite character hold overs from the original show.
 
Riddeh wasn't bad at first then... we all know how the real personality came out.

That gif of him and audry is great, and really shows whats going on up in there. Also love her body language in that scene.

I feel a lot of hate is directed against him because
he killed everyone's favorite waifu who just got a silly scene before. They should have known that such a scene usually signs a character's death. Riddhe was just the form the reaper took.

Pretty much. Some people also don't like that he pretty much
faced no real repercussions for killing everyone's favorite waifu
. It also doesn't help that he exhibits Zeta worthy levels of thirst for a teenaged girl.

Audrey was born in September 2nd,0079.

Unicorn takes place in 0096.

So she's either 17 or 18. Very much space legal. Besides, Riddhe isn't that much older.

I think it's closer to to 16-17 than 17-18, it depends on when in 96 Unicorn takes place I guess. Ride is 23(right?). It's not awful but it's still kinda creepy.

This is weird since I don't think I hate Riddhe as much as others. I don't really like him, but I don't really like anyone in Unicorn.

Wouldn't be surprised if she was 16-17. Japan has extremely little concern for teens of that age dating someone older. Am "antiquated" with a guy who is like 31 and very openly dates teenagers quite openly... But also dates older women at the same time... geeze now I'm thinking about this way too much. Either way we try to ignore/accept/stay away like everyone else but when he drinks too much and is bragging we keep saying were going to call the cops lol.
Though the cops would not do anything since its not illegal.

If Zinnerman shot that fool for his transgression all would've been right in the world.
Riddhe pretty much killed the mans adopted daughter and Zinnerman loved Marida, you don't just let some shit like that slide.
Like for example if somebody shot Ranka Lee in front of Ozma, do you think he'd let somebody get away with that shit? No fucking way.
 
So I went to the local anime store to get a HGUC Zaku II F2 EFSF (the Zeon version was sold out) kit to paint up into Zeon colors. I was told Tamiya XF colors are pretty much almost the same as Mr.Gundam paints so I picked up the colors I needed.

I never use Tamiya paints before and II didn't know was that apparently Tamiya XF colors are primarily used for airspray, which I don't have. I was thinking of investing in one but I enjoy painting by hand. It was a rough start but its turning out well.

Just need to do some more thin layers. Will post pictures of progress.
 
It has Gundam cross overs so here works.

We also have a dead mecha thread.
I tried looking for the mecha thread and couldn't find it actually. So what's the use of green magic barriers if they couldn't even stop a bullet? These people also seem pretty racist sticking a live baby in a hamster cage cause she's a "Norma." There's even a half ass Lelouche Vi Britania in this. Is this guy really plotting to rebuild his family through inbreeding with a fucking 12 year old girl? Like fucking seriously or am I misinterpreting something? And um...yeah...prison rape...can't even go into details on that one without risking a ban, thanks Cross Ange.
