The Gundam |OT2| Another 5 years of Gunpla, Origins, and GUNDAMUUUU!

Jokes aside, boxart time.
If Gundam isn't about shipping and waifus, then why do they draw the women to be attractive. Only one that was sort or plain was OG Mirai and even in CCA she turned into a stunner after two kids, can't say the same about Fraw though.

Double forgive me

I added the decals and matte coat finish. Love the possibility and design of this kit. It really looks great when you put everything on it. I will post another pic maybe tomorrow with the backpack/weapons. there are soo many weapons. Like this kit has everything/. Bazookas, beam sabers, machine guns, rifles, and dual blades.

Also this is one of the few kits, where I had zero problems. I would say this is great starter kit, and surprisingly easier to build than the mobile suit it is based on RX-78



 
Cacophanus did an interview with Kunio Okawara. It's a nice read: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ollieba...profession-of-mechanical-design/#3fb884155892

Any more details on this? As of right now, it's the latest Late UC..anything, really. Not counting non-cannon stuff like Gaia Gear and G Savior.

Protagonist mobile suit is called Anchor, looks like a weird Getter/Crossbone hybrid. The story is supposed to be like Romance of the Three Kingdoms in space (Jupiter vs Earth vs Colonies) or something like that.

Yeah, they're calling it the Warring States Outer Space era or something.
 
Gundam Wing Episode 10

is really epic, when Heero follows all orders there, always mindblown to see it.

Also Lady Une with the best tactics, too bad everyone tries to keep her restrained.

Une is a sociopath with no regard for human life if it doesn't fall strictly in line with Lord Treize-sama's will.

There is very good reason why anyone who wouldn't want to commit heinous war crimes would follow the tool's orders.

I will agree on Heero self detonating being amazing.

Then again you like Space Hitler if I remember right DTL, so I guess it makes sense that you would like probably the only person in the meta series people should ignore military advice from more then Flit.

It does seem like Une never really was the type to give peace a chance though, but in all honesty she just took everything to the extreme degree, she had no middle ground early in the show. Do as I say or get rekt was pretty much her mindset and I'd like to think Treize-sama loved that woman...just didn't always view some of her tactics as romantic as far as war honor goes with him. I will admit to liking how Noin's softer characteristics play off of Une though.

Of course Heero T800 Yuy followed those orders, he knew he could tank that explosion. Une knows about strategy and tactics. She gives fuck all for honor though or compassion. Woman shot a man in the fucking head as he was falling to his death. Dude was going to die. Period. It's like she just wanted to kill him faster just incase there was a chance of the guy miraculously growing a pair of wings or some shit. Draws a mean bubble bath though.

Lol.

I love how they took and made her seemingly even more unhinged in Frozen Teardrop.

Finally Finished with the back/weapon stuff. This might be my favorite kit atm. Trying to decide if I should start the double x or Wing fenice next.

Did great work!

Go with DX, more traditional and it will make wacky kits like Amazing and Fenice stand out when you don't do them back to back :)

You know Beth that is a good idea! I will start it this week.


Also guys I looked at the sinanju preview and it looks like the decals are stickers.

I guess I idiotically assumed she just became normal and raised the Mineva Zabi clone at the end of Endless Waltz. They made her crazier?
Lol.

Her name isn't even Lady Une. She had a name, a legit one and when she met Treize he took a liking to her and basically was like " Yo Dawg, your name is this now" because he was impressed by her and she took it.....

Shaking my fucking head and I thought that woman had pride. Noin...not even legit crazy ass Dorothy would take that shit. Dorothy would stab a dude over some shit like that. "My name is Dorothy Catalonia motherfucker and don't you forget it."

At this point she has given up her personality (FT and beginning of Wing) her Name, and her life ambitions, not to mention nearly her life (Wing tanking Libra and EW) all because her obsession with Treize.

She makes people like Poptart's Harem and Flit look nearly sane in their crushes.

Damn she's crazy. It's a toss up between her and Katejina then as craziest Gundam female.

Going nuts on the Sinanju wait? I can see that. Personally I'm super eager for the Blast Impulse to come out this month. I'm gonna go nuts on that thing. Gonna mask it and paint the color inaccuracies and pose it together on an action base with my RG Freedom. It'll be great.

I'm excited to see how sturdy that thing is too and how Bandai engineers certain parts of the kit. :D

Watching Zeta on blu-ray for the first time and I had forgotten how basically right off the bat people start getting slapped and socked in the face at least once per episode lmao. Kamille gets smacked like three minutes into the first episode.
 
:lol it's hilarious seeing it now.

Zeta overall is amazing imo, but some of the character stuff in the early going is a little awkward.
I would not want to make that shit a drinking game. "Take a shot every time someone gets smacked the fuck up" by episode 5 you're fucking dead. Every Gundam has awkward character shit going on. I need to do a rewatch of this soon I think. Kamille grows just a little bit more with every shot to the mouth he takes.
 
Lol at Jerid getting straight fucking drop kicked in his mouth. I swear Kamille gave just as much as he got. I think the only two protags that actually punched up Char were both Kamille and Amuro. That shades knock off is too good though, even got knocked off in dramatic slow mo. Man Kamille's dad smacked the shit out of his wife. Paptimus smacked the fucking dogshit out of Reccoa. Jerid got Judo flipped down a mountain, fucking jobber lol.

I never noticed Flays line about wanting Kira to fight until he dies, it wasnt his fault your father died :(

about to watch some of this.


are the decals stickers or dry transfers?

Stickers! Not the usual kind that are included with HG's though. Printed on a glossy sheet.

Here's a shot:


Also Bandai did another print run of a lot of their Gundam Decals including the Sinanju set. Here's a comparison shot with between the stickers and the HG Sinanju Decal sheet. Slightly different style but definitely look like they would work.
