The Undefeated Of The Ocean!

Greetings again to the PlaMo community of LYN. Today I am compelled by the powers of Turn to rejoin the masses tonight. Was just waiting for the thread to enter v11. Meanwhile been enjoying myself with my many Battletech novels, endless bouts of MW4Mercenaries sessions and extra lurking about the Net ever since the ChanWars and DDos Cancer ran rampant.

This past few months was truly 1/144 scale shopping spree. Lot's of great HG00s and HGUCs being churned out. RX-78-2 v2.0 looks kinda cool, but I hope the upcoming MG GunTank would not be too anime-ish in its design. MG Infinite Justice is meh, rather enjoying the wait for 00 MGs to be planned instead. Also waiting for the Macross kits to arrive. The initial lineart for the new 00 Gundams did send my eyebrows to the stratosphere, but I knew from past experience with SEED lineart that the final three-dimensional model kit will look a whole lot better, so until then I'm keeping my sound to myself.

And not forgetting: Salutations to sonar and welcome to LYN. StarGhazzer's finally has a regional buddy he can shop around with. And welcome to biofoot as well, wish my dad was as cool as ye and buying me awesome stuff.

On to the komentary!

Yessss, Geara Doga and Jegan. Although with the possible release of a HGUC Jegan, I am entertaining the possibility of the of the HGUC line continuing after the Jegan and straight into the F91 realm?


Oh lord the F91 series kits deserves a rebirth into the HGUC line so bad... F91 is one of many Sunrise mecha series where Okawara's designs rocks.

Is this really confirmed? That the G-Armor would NOT include Rx-78-2 v2.0? Have to know, whether I'd get Ancestor Gundam this time or wait for it to come with the G-Armor. The First Gundam v2.0 seem to grow on my taste well enough, so I'll definitely be getting it. Help for my decision-making?

Oh God. The one question I've always feared to answer. At the same time too lazy to calculate.

Bootleg brands are perfect for plamo guro. RIP AND TEAR!!

For the discussion about the size difference of various Gundams it is recommended that the inquisitive head over to MAHQ.net. All of the essential technical data. Mind you the text may contain spoiler material.

IF Bandai was responsible for the MS sizing down on the basis of reducing the cost and amount of plastic required to manufacture each PlaMo (aside from the storyline's logical technological advancements), then I would bet Bandai is facepalming themselves now seeing the difficulty of manufacturing any of the post-F91 designs. We will have to wait longer for some awesome MGs and HGUCs of them then.

I Have This Dream...

I'm feeling the pain as well, always waiting for salary to come in. Adding to the drain is my side dishes of the collectibles category: Lego, TF, Figures... AUGH.

But seriously, once I save up enough and get a decent AB gear (and decent AB skills) I would try jioning, er joining some model competition. Although I could never attain the same level of mastery as some of the kings around here. Just maybe for the lulz, since my last participation was made way back in 1998, hurr.

No, ye is the ShipmentKingResinConversionMastaWhoFindsNemo, yes.

P.S.: are you really bringing in the 1/72 scale VF-25F? 'Cause if yes, DO WANT! Also see the pricing.

I do understand the inclination of many here to obtain certain kits, it's all up to the reasons of the beholder. Just for consideration, not having a dedicated series (meaning TV, OVA or movie) doesn't mean it does not have a story about them. For example, the Sentinel and Silhouette Formula 91 model series. The storylines that was crafted for these sets were aptly impressive and gives validation to the whys and hows of the mecha designs.

Personally, things have to have a reason of being, hence me being VERY story oriented. Hence why I swore never to buy anything from the SEED Destiny series. F***** creation abortion, courtesy of Bandai's 50+ episode LolJapan fangirl advertisement series and Teh Unholy Trinity Of Suck: Fukuda-Morosawa-Okawara.

The only Gundam model line that I expect to have a lot more leeway in its designs would be the many MSV series. The designs there usually ranges from logical to fantastical to lolwut.


That Exia Giroro Gochou version?

Delicious scratchbuild Turn X.


If you're looking for real-world military arms like said AK-47 and M16, I'd say your best bet will be those 1/6 scale weapons used by those 12" military figures. The shops you could lurk around is Graffiti Toys and XL Shop in Times Square.

@Exiled: I think the Graffiti owner moved that displayed weapons someplace else since they rearranged their newly-expanded shop. I couldn't see it the last time I shopped around. Have not queried them about it yet.

Here's a repost of what I have for example of the 1/6 guns on my MasterGrades:


Also check the Work In Progress and Mecha Modelling Gallery thread tomorrow, I'll be posting relevant pics about weapons for GunPla.

The timing of the question was spot on, me says. It's nice for the seldom-poster to be remembered.

The GarmaGuy gif is supplied by /m/. Acguy is always relevant. Get the HGUC, and cherish the love!

It is pictures like this that compells me to buy another Acguy for the sole purpose of bringing it with me anytime I travel somewhere.


Spam? Well yeah, if one takes to account the usual manner of how I post posts. Large chunks of cannon fodder, yes? But since of late I'm able to plant myself in front of the Interbutt more often, and since the Kopitiam SpamChannel has helped slow this thread down from the worrying /codegeass/ speed, I guess that I'm able to return slightly back to normal posting sessions. Would still be a rare sighting somewhat.

In retrospect, maybe precision carpet bombing would be better than a single large antimatter bomb.


And about the next story saga, I will be posting a few teasers of it and some more related goodies in the Mecha Showoff thread after midnight, after my routine CSI screening tonight. Horatio says that there will be more... ... Soldiers incoming.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHH!

[Part 1 of 3]



Ah, just came back from my Raya trip to Kedah and Penang last weekend (yes, went late; traveling on the highway at the same time Bolehland travels around during national holidays is madness), and now I am compelled to return and post in my one favourite forum.

Been busy with work this past 2 months so not much free time, but the mode of SAPU is still strong. As a result for the first few times in my PlaMo life I have unbuilt kits stacked around the room (hello, warehouse) And just like MyKy44's situation, I have my Ancestor Gundam box still staring at me awaiting conclusion.

Wow, this thread's speed has maintained somewhat (thanks to the spam safetyvalve of the Hobbytiam thread), still in v11; but I see many new things and new faces. Almost everyone's avatars has changed, and the recruitment! I wish to send my hello to quahk2006, Kuroro, laytzehpin, St0rmFury, unfazedgamer, godspeeds, William7, evanrue, ur4m3shi, Ksano, Turtlez84, HoNeYdEwBoY, blackamikaze, em0ti0n and anyone else I've missed (so many one..!); Welcome to the hobby that will consume your soul (and moolah).

And I see 03's and Ghazzer's slant towards Eye of Mono-ism still has not abated one bit.

Verily, moar new and upcoming kits from Bandai designed to drain us of our future retirement funds. MG IJ, DOES IT CARRY BACKPACK OR BACKPACK CARRIES IT? But MG Sinanju will salve my rage, although those yellow/gold emblemic lines on the black armour might be just done like Unicorn's antenna yellow. Stickers... on MGs... T_T. As for the next line of 00 kits, I am fairly optimistic. But most of all I'm always eager for moar HGUCs. Can't wait to add the Geara Doga on my stack of unbuilts. And pray for Jegan... and continuing into the Formula series??

The Messiah kit is also on my DOWANT list, although I might wait and denote the month of January next year as Macross month (just in case there'll be any new variations made). Might be a equipment pack version coming soon, y'know...

And also for the new year I'll be aiming for an AB set. ABOUT TIME, FODDER.

Thanks, I'll definitely AB my Nadleeh next year.


That actually sounds like JUST NO; I like my wimmenz healthily adult.

From what I've seen on the boxart, Infinite Justice SuperCuttingTool Mode.

AWESOME. Now my next PC might come with Operation V colours.

As proven by the master of GunPla addiction




Oh I want PlaMo kits of Battlemechs so bad! O wait, BRB jury-rigging my Macross Destroids... still THIS SOLUTION IS NOT SUFFICIENT.




ChrisCustom will be a meme in this forum.


HOLYF*** DO WANT I CAME



BANDAI, YOU READING THIS??


Allrighty, will stop here for now; as usual continuing to Part 2 and 3 in the Work In Progress and Mecha Modelling Gallery later tonight. See ye there.



DAWWW, can't grip handheld weapons... ;_;
