I get that and I'm even fine with it when used well. In Zeta though there's stuff like
bringing Four back for two episodes just to Lalah her even though her sacrifice to get Kamille to space was way more powerful. Rosammy having no point to being there but to get Lalah'd and provide power to Kamille at the end
Jerid to me always represented the underdog. Try as he might, no matter how good he got, he could never beat the MC. In the end, just another no-name kid who dies in a war bigger than him.
Pre-built is not really my thing but I guess there is a new line of Metal Robot Damashii toys coming out.

I've got to say Wong reminds me of Mr. Chang from Black Lagoon only less charismatic and more smug. That's not even taking into account their similar fashion sense.
Mr. Chang
Wong
On another note, Is it wrong that Allenby and Domon make a better couple in 5 episodes than Rain and Domon in more than 30? It's probably just me, but Domon and Rain's relationship is more akin to brother and sister. A shame this won't end well for Allenby which is to say, either disappointment or death

Gundam San was entirely about Garma pissing and shitting this week.
No, that's not wrong at all, though some..."conservatives" think that's the wrong opinion to hold.
Yes it is wrong. Very wrong. You are wrong to think that.

I've been planning to dip my toes into figures, since building kits hasn't been working out so well for me - I guess this will be as good a place to start as any.

Always happy about a new line, but this one I'm just not sure of.
Given Metal Builds already really do this, this seems like it might just be a cheaper version of that and I'm not sure how much it's really needed.
I guess it depends on if the scale is going to be all over the place like in a usual Damashii release or if they are going to try and go for a more accurate balance between units.

So The show finally confirms what everyone released 16 episodes ago namely
Oh and Domon and Rain reconcile after around ten episodes of tension.

I still think their relationship is better platonic.
The make or break with Domon/Rain comes in the last two episodes and how that plays out.
It's where the real decision of if you ship them or not will happen.

That's because both characters are heavily inspired by Chow Yun Fat
And Domon treats Allenby like a little sister.
Domon treats Allenby like his best friend.
Domon treats Rainlike crap for the first half like a girlfriend.
The manga version of G Gundam is for all those Allenby/Domon shippers though. The author clearly thinks the same way you do and does everything possible to throw shade on Rain.

All these people hating on Rain just because she's the best girl.

Yeah, he was her babysitter.
You promised me inking, Donkey! Anyways, looks amazing, and really has a strong presence. I'm surprised they let you bring something so big to the office.

I need new panel liner supplies, so I couldn't do it quite yet on top of just getting back from Gamescom. Will bring it back to the house over the weekend for touch up and whatnot. And working at a gaming company, we all have crazy stuff on out desks. XD
But yeah, it looks way beast when it's all opened up. Can't wait for the psycho shard to come in and pop it on there :3
Y'all have any tips for cleaning up panel lines? I've mostly been using an eraser and rubbing alcohol and I'm having a hard time cleaning up the lines without also getting rid of the markings I want to keep.
The part I'm specifically having trouble with is the caved in part on the left side shoulder here:
I trace around the edges but there's a fair amount I have to clean up and it's difficult. The eraser only works at the perfect angle and rubbing alcohol cleans up too much.
Also the face was crazy hard to do. 3 hours last night and I'm still not done.

I rub excess panel liner off with my thumb. Gotta be quick about it though!

There is also a fourth package coming with a Real Grade Zaku II. I was looking at some Master Grades but I thought since I am completely new at this and I haven't put togheter a model for 15 years or so, I should start a bit smaller. A MG version of the Gouf Custom (my favorite Mobile Suit so far, Norris rocks) is really enticing. I didn't know there were MG versions of the other two though.
Yeah there is. I think I owned more MGs from 08th than any other series (Ez-8, Gundam [G], GM [G], and Gouf Custom).
They had some cool gimmicks too, or at least they were when I was like 15 (like the weapons container and Gouf's shield).

RG Char Zaku II was my first Gunpla. It's a great looking kit, but watch out for the piping and the skirts. The legs can be a bit of a pain in the ass too.
The shield is detachable, minigun and all as well, if that is what you mean. And the Ground Gundam comes with a weapons container where it can store the 180 mm cannon. And also has a small leg compartment for a beam saber. Would say its pretty good detail for a small sized model. Still, a MG version of the Gouf would be sweet.
Will do, thanks. I think I'll put it together last, a step up from the High Grade models.
do itttttt
Luckily, there seem to be one retailer on Amazon that sells it for 23 GBP which is perfectly reasonable. Will have a look at it later when I am done with these, just waiting for a model tool kit before I begin.
Speaking of tools, are Gundam Markers a must? Have seen them mentioned here and there and seems like they are supposed to be for adding more details along the plating.

This kit is so popular over here, so many have bought it.
Sometimes I feel that RGs are more complicated than the average MG, though I have never built one.
The things he can do with Neo Zeong's tentacle fingers...

So my local Anime convention Animethon was this week and I managed to get these for 31 dollars total.
Where should I start?
So I finally got around to building all 3 of them (held off Heavyarms) and here are the results
Stickers were a pain to deal with and Heavy-arms had some issues near the end, but apart from that I think I did all right.

So we can add
to Schrawz Bruder's description.
We have new villains that appear in the story whom are
and it turns out they are the ones responsible for
Oh and Rain gets into another Gundam, where shockingly enough, she doesn't have an orgasm activating the trace system.
So we can add
Japanese android clone
We have new villains that appear in the story whom are
That Colonel you could be forgiven for forgetting about and Rain's father!
Kyoji becoming the pliot for the Dark Gundam and Their dad being cryogenically frozen
Oh and Rain gets into another Gundam, where shockingly enough, she doesn't have an orgasm activating the trace system.
That's because it's not Domon's Gundam.

Thin down your alcohol with water 50/50 or lower so it won't be so strong.
You can also use those precision cotton swabs they used for make up and nails. Or you can get the triangle stiff cotton swab from tamiya.
May be the problem is you use too much alcohol, you don't have to wet the paper towel or cotton swab with alcohol, it should be pretty dry.

Was this ever established in the show? I thought it was because she wasn't used to the trace system at the time.
Both of those spoilers are actually well hinted at a bit earlier than episode 42, though they did a good job hiding one of the character's motivations and true intent.

True but I like not too think about it too much so I can surprise myself.

Hell, I spent $100 for the LE and I'm happy.

I've wanted to watch that series because a few people who are Babylon 5 fans say it reminds them of B5. Thoughts on that?
Haha, I'm just joking. I mean, you could argue that part of the reason is that Domon's mobile tracer is calibrated in a way that Rain wouldn't be used to since Domon is a professional fighter and Rain is a mechanic, but the truth is probably just what you've said. She wasn't used to it and by the time the Rising rolls around she is.
