I'm enjoying GoL so far a decent amount. The Ver Ka suits are awesome, the story changes work well which is nice. It's just odd that for each time it does something decent/cool FT comes out with yet another WTF?!! moment.

And the new suits are drawn SO WELL. I"m constantly amazed by how beautifully they're rendered.
They really are done well. With each new chapter that comes out I really expect to see the quality drop on them but so far they have really delievered on both the original Ver Ka designs and even the added extras like Deathscythe's early wings and Sandrocks extra armor.

Just saw on my Facebook feed that the first three episodes of Gundam UC are free to watch legally on YouTube with English subtitles.

For those who missed it, Gundam.info had an April Fool yesterday about a 1/1 Blitz Gundam being exposed in Odaiba, same place as the first RX-78 exposition.
For some reason they took the article down, so here the Google Cache.

It has Mirage Colloid activated.

So I bought my first Gunpla today...I had no intention of buying this one in particular, but when I saw it on the shelf, I couldn't resist.

Nice, I hope you post the finished product!
Very nice. Master Gundam is a badass design.
The RX-78 is actually back in Odaiba. It now adorns the main entrance of the Diver City Tokyo Mall.
Nice! Too bad it was gone when I was there in the fall =(
Hopefully it will be around still on my next visit!
It went on a tour around Japan after the original Odaiba exhibit but I'm pretty sure its there for good now.

You know what would make this gundam super totes awesome?
If you could climb up into the cockpit and then enter and play multi-monitor Gundam VS.

Nice! I guess I'll go see it again in September, for the hell of it.
This reminds me, the last time I saw it was at the Shizuoka Hobby Fair. I had a Japan Rail Pass so I just went there for the afternoon to see it and also watch the exposition. I'm not a plastic models fan, but it was amazing nonetheless. It wasn't just Gundam, the expo actually covered the entire history of models in Japan. There were amazing dioramas on WW2 and stuff...
I took like over a hundred pics I think^^'

I actually went there in December after Comiket. Got a ton of photos of it. It's pretty cool but not as large as I thought it would be.

I definitely will! I'll be posting WIP pics, too.
Yeah, his design and color scheme drew me in, too. It was a combination of that and the fact that he has a horse pal - it will definitely be a superb display model! not only that, but it gives me the drive to want to paint him and make him look presentable. I need to do him justice, haha.
I mean you could sell admission into it, and that thing would have a line that wraps around the block 4 times over, and you'd recoup the cost of the machine in a week.
Build a couple more and have 4 player multi battles going on.

It's there until March 2013. Missed it last time I was in Japan in April 2010, but I did make it out to Kami-igusa to see their bronze Gundam statue as well as Sunrise's building.

Not always. There are some non-MG 1/100 models.

Anyone airbrush their kits? I'm thinking of buying one, but I don't know what to look for. I figure Iwata is the brand to go with (since I've read they're the one of the best), and gravity feed is ideal when working with smaller models...But I don't know. I may be making things up. Also, I've read that double action is preferred as it gives MUCH more control. Compressors I know NOTHING about.
Any Gunpla experts have an opinion on the matter?

I've never built an MG. This will be my first 1/100, then maybe later I'll scale up to MG. I wanted the Gundam Wing version of Sandrock, but didn't find it in the scale I wanted.

Thank you! Ordering one this weekend.

Gundam AGE 26
Definitely one the better episodes in the series.
Woolf!! NOOOOOOOOO =( My favorite character is gone waaaahhh!!! Fuck you Desil! Anyway based on the preview it seems the Vagans are going for either a space fortress or space fortress+coloy drop.

Kind of an empty victory with the Desil death since his broham was trying to get rid of him anyway and Flit didn't bother jumping into old-man AGE-1 while holding him off in the Diva the last episode. But yeah, it's looking like a colony drop next episode.

Not only empty but short lived, also Desil not being able to read Asem's movement made me think maybe that is Asem's unique ability as a sort of the Super Pilot anti-X-Rounder.

What?! Darn I wanted more time with Asemu and Zehearto, he was really cool as well developments with Desil/Flit
It does seem a little rushed. And is this series not going for a full 52 episode run? Assuming each "age" has the same number of episodes roughly?
Gundam AGE 26
Best episode yet. Gen 2 has been getting really fucking dark, especially these last couple weeks. It's a nice turnaround from Gen 1, which had basically zero tension happening, even if it is bringing out the mantears lately.
50 episodes. So Gen 3 will be the longest, but there could be another timeskip within it if they're still following the original pitch of a 100 year war.

Even though he had a number of death flags on him, Woolf's death was still fucking heartbreaking to watch. Revenge on Desil was satisfying though, especially liked that Zeheart wasn't going to bail him out.

Word. It is rather interesting gen 2 is gonna end soon, but the way the story has been heading is crashing into a conclusion at a really quick pace with all the death flags and everything. Been really enjoying it a lot lately thanks to the darker overtones in dealing with war and seeing Flit manage things with his son and whatnot. It's also been cool seeing Asem launching with Double Bullet out the get go considering it's sooooooo much better than AGE-2 Normal. Hopefully his whole "Super Pilot" swag is just him being beast versus something along the lines being a pseudo X-Rounder.
As for Gen 3
old man Flit looks boss.
