Great idea, bro.

To naith, as zeff here has stated, when building your model kits, make sure the area is clear of everything and anything. I only build my models on my "cubicle table". You know, the ones you see in any company office with 3 partitions and soft board. With the soft board, I can pin my assembly guide instructions on it.

Oh well.......it's okay though. I don't mind the missing part, leaving a hole behind. Looks like battle scars from a battle.

At last, I finished assembling my Aaliyah unit.
Took me about 2 weeks.

Aaliyah, coming right up. Actually, down.......

Here are my other AC pics. Enjoy and comment.

First, 4 shoulder cannons!!!



Secondly, new weapon arm accessory



Lastly, my own modification of weapon and left arm to my AC unit.

If i'm not mistaken, from my very very very very very very very very very very old GI Joe figurine.........i think......

Now here's a new segment.......MY ROOM!!!
Here are the toys, collections and stuff in my room.
I call my room.....'The Room Of Every Kids' Dream'. And I'll always be a kid in heart.
Throw me any toy and I'll play with it for days.

Firstly, here are my collection of figurines (Final Fantasy: Advent Children, King Leonidas, etc.)



Secondly, my Transformers collection (mostly from the movie)


Thirdly, ever wonder what will happen when Star Wars combines with Transformer?


Fourthly, my Superman Altar, my own personal place to pay tribute and homage to the greatest super hero I admire growing up.


Fifthly, my Mage Knight figurines (anyone into MK?).


Sixthly, my MechWarrior figurines (anyone into MW?)


Seventh, my Football Champions Collectible Card Game (CCG)


Eighth, my Gundam collection in a box (Sorry Gundam. Had to make place for Armored Core)


Ninth, my other stuff I collect


Last but not least, my prized possessions. Reign Of Supermen comics (unopen, sealed, no finger-prints since June, 1993), souvenir from Cairo, Egypt, signed Magic The Gathering Masterpiece 'Stone Rain' by the illustrator Ben Thompson, CSI Miami cast autographed picture and X-Men 3 signed poster by Brett Ratner the director.

HAHAHAHAHA!

That was funny, but thanx for noticing it for me. You're right, I always snapshot my AC models individually never together. Okay, I'll post up a picture of all of them standing together like a family portrait soon. Thanx for informing me.

As for MK, I stopped at Lancers too.......then after some years, I went back to the game when Mage Knight 2.0 came out. The pictures posted up is MK 2.0 and above. I can't seem to find my Rebellion and Lancers units. Probably somewhere in my room. My room is full of toys, junk, collections, etc etc. Need to pay someone to come and clean, clear and organize them all for me.

Yo, bro.

I HAD to open a AC thread sooner or later. Cos' in every forum that I go to, people only talk about Gundam model kits and Transformers. Gundam, Transformers. Gundam, Transformers. Gundam, Transformers. Gundam, Transformers. Gundam, Transformers.
Not that I have anything against Gundam or Transformers. Just that...........really 'sian' liao. Boring.

That's why I did mention earlier in this thread (page 2, I think) that the AC models are very very very detailed but the weapons' detailedness is a bit.........'cacat' lar. Hopefully, in the near future, Kotobukiya will rectify this.

But to me personally, I would prefer the Tellus over the Red Uranus (Nineball)

Thanx

Added on September 25, 2007, 3:32 amIt's hot but I still like the Tellus more than the Nineball. But, everyone has their own choice and preference. Some people think that the Nineball is cool, but to me personally, I don't like the idea of a RED colored unit on a battlefield. It's like a walking target for enemies.

As for some of my friends, they don't like the Tellus because it looks humongous and "heavy" on the battlefield. Oh well.........one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Yup, on Solaris. Especially the colors of Warpaint and Styx are cool

Any of you guys play the PC game 'Heavy Gear' before? I just thought of going back to playing all those old, classic PC games like Mechwarrior 3 & 4, and Heavy Gear 1 & 2, and I just noticed that Heavy Gear is very similar to Armored Core. Is it my imagination? You guys decide

I didn't even know that there were the models/figurines until yesterday. All I know is the game

As promised before, here's the picture of the whole family. Sorry if it's late cos' been busy with lots of stuff.

And here are my other new pictures of my AC collection. Enjoy. Questions and comments welcomed.

Firstly, here's my AC carrying a big big big bazooka.



And here's my AC having lots of bullets, like Rambo.



Also, here's my AC being a Samurai.



Lastly, a before and after picture of me modifying one of my AC's weapon.

Before


After (Weapon added-on a Scope and Suppressor/Silencer)

Well, there's the Rayleonard - Aaliyah and the Interior - Tellus.

Possibly that we can only get Mirage and Crest is because:-
1. Kotobukiya does not have the permission, yet, to create other AC developers.
2. Maybe, Crest and Mirage are easy to design and maybe they're the only ones that can be designed.........

We'll see in the future, I hope.............

Bro, I didn't say that "it can't be designed". I think you misunderstood me. I said that, at the moment, Crest & Mirage are the ones you see the most is probably because they are easier to design compared to other AC companies maybe due to the detail-ness of other companies' AC like Rayleonard.

My point is also that, maybe, from my point of view, is that Mirage and Crest are easier to assemble compared to Rayleonard. And Kotobukiya has to cater their model kits for ages 14 and up. But, in my opinion, truth be told, I don't think that the Rayleonard - Aaliyah is meant for any 14 year olds, here in Malaysia, cos' the assembling is so..............so.........complicated and tedious due to the detailed-ness of the AC. Probably they'll give up after and hour.

And here's 2 pics of what I'm experimenting at the moment with one of my AC units. I'm trying to give it TANK-LEGS!!!!!

It's not really done yet. I'm still experimenting with it. The final product will be done after I have repainted it.

Good idea, but like I've said, this is only experimental.......We'll see what happens on the end-product.

There's always one thing I've always wanted to know and I keep on forgetting about it. Better ask now before I forget again.

Actually, how big and tall is an AC unit in real life? I think the tallest Mechwarrior unit, the Atlas in real life, is about 60-70 feet or so. What about AC? Are they almost the same size with Gundam or Transformers (Optimus Prime is 28 feet) are much much much smaller like Heavy Gear units (about 20 feet)?

Thanx again, man. And I've learn something new. So that's the way you count the scale model thingy.
