Well, I don't take Thunderbolt too seriously or canonically. Also, the way the OVA ends doesn't happen in the manga. Propulsion booster that are never used otherwise and the tech is pretty advanced for the period on the Gundam and Psycho Zaku.

this and the geara doga are my most wanted kits atm.
Jelly of Turn X, good pickup.
Yeah, GP Nippers are amazing. I'd recommend them to anyone who doesn't have a pair yet; The difference from the other pair I used before is night and day.

My Turn X is still in the box from when I ordered it a couple years back. I need to remedy that.

For all the stupidity of AGE and it's general designs I enjoyed the Gundam Legilis design and
the giant space bird mobile armor that was just out there for no reason, said to be unstoppable then got stopped easily 10 minutes later

It's looks like a Guyver unit.
Looks much better in all red.
I still think the best suit from AGE though is the G Bouncer.

I really like the Legilis. It's a perfect look of a Gundam bastardized into the antagonist faction's motif.

I agree with both parts of this.
I also admit that I sorta like the Age 2 Normal the best of the protag suits. If only because the first time I saw it I thought "why does this gundam turn into an arwing" and the
all white version
A Guyver looks cooler, especially Guyver III.

Based Agito da gawd. Who do I have to kill to get another show?
It's been 10 years, who knows. Has plenty of material.

So there were more than a few Gundams. The RX782 was just the first forced into battle and the EFF used it and the White Base crew as propaganda. It also wasn't ready yet, which is why it needed upgraded with the coatings/g3. But remember there were the thoroughbred Gundams, mudrock, the 79 series, etc.
The stuff in Tbolt is definitely kind of out there though. With the way the war was going, the tech you see in Tbolt should have been fast tracked to the front lines. Especially absolute meat grinders like Solomon or ABQ

I need to see Guyver Gigantic animated.
Better do that fast or Gym will start shouting at you from box.
I don't know why but all red rarely works well with Gundam types IMO.
I'm sorry but boob beams will never be cool.

That's hasengawa, right? Aren't their kits a bit of a pain?
I think the regular Gundam face looks better, personally ¯\_(ツ

That is the high point though, the rest seems to be about the characters.
I think the gundam amazing does red well.
You don't like gratuitous booby cannons? There actually is a female Guyver.
All this Unicorn talk got me listening to the soundtrack again. Damn That soundtrack is hype.
EDIT: Here is the stuff I got in the mail the other day. I probably won't get to building them until a couple months from now, but I may do some panel lining on my RX-78-2 ver. 3.0. I haven't done panel lining before.

I'll finish this HG G-Self Perfect pack by the end of this week. Or so I tell myself.
It's not a bad build, I just... want to be doing other things.
Edit: nvm we done

Yesterday my three gunplas arrived, one zaku II , a Gusion and a RX-78-2 revive, and holy shit building the revive's head has been harder than the hole Gusion Building Process.
I can't imagine how you build that fast. I think the fastest I ever built a kit was 3 days and that was the HG Graze Custom. I must be incredibly slow.

Well my plan was to build one per day...but my cat woke me up at 4 am so I was unable get back to sleep, so I went ahead and started building the gusion....fun kit tho, very noob friendly by 6 am I was done with it, The zaku on the other hand took like a day
btw, I do plan on panel lining the kits when my markers arrive.

Who decided to name the ship in Age the "Diva?" This weird looking kids name is fucking Dique? Seriously? What is Wang Liu Mei's kid sister doing in this? I can't even finish the ep cause either Google Chrome is seizing up or my roommate is sucking up all the internet bandwidth. How did people finish this show? Can barely hold my attention so far.
I saw it, no thanks
As much as I love the design I'm not buying the HG. It's really unusual that a MC Gundam didn't get an MG yet.
I don't know
Maybe he doesn't cut the nubs fully or sand them?

thanks for the feedback! cool, i'm glad i picked it up then =) can't wait to check it out.
Gundam Game is okay.
However you bought two of the best games ever on their respective platforms!
Mega Man X and Miles Edgeworth.
Fucking adore both X and Miles....in fact Miles is totally my Bae lol.

edit: oh ok i see you updated your post. yeah x and edge worth is cool1

That would be a crime against humanity. I couldn't even pay attention to it when my internet was working for it. I don't even want to try to finish it now since I'd just fall asleep on it.
I've got four more and ten episodes of Build Fighters Try left to finish this month.
In November I'm going to watch a few more Gundam series, but something dubbed I think. Gotta give 00 season 2 another shot. Then maybe one of the terrible UC dubs I've never seen like Zeta.
Sounds good actually. 00 Season 2 and Zeta's horrible dub.
I don't know, Episode 5 was just as good as 4 for me. Banshee looks amazing, and everything continues to be slick as production wise. I really like a lot of the characters too, and it's great to see how much they're developing and changing.
Random thoughts:
Captain Zinnerman gives me such strong Ramba Ral feels.
I hope Ple 12 has a nicer ending than any of her predecessors. I'm rooting for her.
Captain Bright continues to be a legend, this man can do no wrong.
Riddhe has lost the plot, this is not going to end well for him.

Lol I cant wait to hear full reactions to the last few eps.

The way I do it is; first I cut de parts, then I polish said parts by cutting the nubmarks and finally I apply some sand paper. Is that the right way?
I don't have a Hobby knife so instead I used a cutter.
I do plan on giving them a second revision once the markers arrive thoug , since I left some small nubmarks (see picture)
Then there is also the fact that I build three times faster than most humans...

I have never thought of zinnerman as Ramba ral before, he's a good man.
I suppose it was because of the way he looked after Marida as his own daughter reminded me of Ramba Ral taking in Casval and Artesia and protecting them. They were both pretty sympathetic Zeon characters for me, Ramba Ral's death felt pretty tragic to me.
lol from the looks of it they are 3 hg kits. shouldn't take more than 2 lord of the rings movies to finish all 3. and I am talking sanding/nub removal as well.
Everything was building up to this moment, huh?

Did Ramyeon finish Unicorn?
Just finished the last OVA now! Wow okay... I think it wraps up the UC timeline really well. People that dislike the over the top Newtype stuff probably hate those aspects of it but I loved every moment of it.
For the time being a few thoughts...
Ple 12 died, I expected as much. Thankfully people actually cared when she died this time.
Riddhe redeemed himself in a big way and survived! Honestly did not see that coming.
So Full Frontal was a clone/cyber Newtype of Char? The Newtype ghosts of Char and Lalah were a nice touch.
Laplace Box reveal was fantastic and made more sense than anything I was imagining.

I appreciated this much more after seeing all of the early stuff leading up to it. Thank you for convincing me to do so (Yes, even ZZ).
