Mecha the Spider

Well damn it was a good ride while it lasted I hope it does come back up though

I’m pretty sure that the site will come back online. It’s gone down in the past, yet has always come back up. Here’s a quote I though up of that ought to help ease your minds, “Mankind’s ability to build bridges is unprecedented. Yet, from time to time, nature, fate, or other outside forces seek to destroy said bridges. However, if mankind can…[Read more]

Ok, do we not have access to the forum files period?

If we have access we could atleast move hosts and update the file.

I have experience with forums as well.

What I don’t get is why we haven’t moved the forum in the past after this happening. It seems to be kinda common.

Basically what the deal is, is this. The forum continues to have these issues because nothing is actually done to FIX them. What happens is when the forum goes down, a person is contracted to fix it. Before, M1ck3y would fix the forum as he was employed by GSaM. That is no longer the case. Therefore another person is hired to “fix” it. What that…[Read more]

So far, their record seems to be good in that they always get the forum back up one way or another. I think the fact that it’s up already (assuming it doesn’t go down again immediately) is a good sign.

Nothing for me so far. I’m able to log in like normal.

It just started acting up for me, in the for sale trade section.

I tried it again just now and sure enough, it conked out.

Damnit this shit is pissing me off. If it wasn’t so expensive I’d open my own forum.

Yep its down for me as well… kinda disappointing just started visiting it a couple of weeks ago.

It’s down for me as well. Can’t say that I’m surprised.

Forum seems to be back up again.

As a huge fan of German Grey, I’m anxious to see those frame parts.

Regarding the forum, it’s good news but only time will tell if the issue is solved completely. I’m hoping there’s no data loss this time.

I’ve been a fan of German Grey since I painted my MG Kampfer with it. It’s great stuff. And I think it’ll really give the Banshee a good look and feel. Better than my 1.0 version anyways.

And yeah, only time will tell. But hopefully this time it actually works.

My Norn arrived yesterday. Holy CRAP there’s a ton of runners in there!

Sounds like a lot of parts to be painted. You’re still set on finishing the head first?

The head will most likely be completed 1st. But we’ll just have to wait and see what get’s done 1st.

It would also seem that I might be doing a favor for a friend of mine while I paint the Norn. We’ll see tomorrow as a few friends and I are making a trip to HobbyTown.

niiice! oh yeah what do you have in store for the color scheme?

I bought the HGUC Norn Destroy Mode because of you. Should be arriving any day now…and I’ve got the head base to build, too. Dunno if I’m going to paint them, as they do look kinda cool by default, even if they’re not 100% “screen accurate” that way.

Oh joy. The forum is acting up. Again. Is it too much to wish that It would stay up consistently like the good old days?

That’s good, we got a response pretty quickly. I echo Zeta-G’s frustration with this, especially since it’s looking like the same exact issue that we were told wouldn’t happen anytime soon again.

Good news, I guess?

I’ll also getting rather frustrated with all these errors.

Yeah this only happened untill the hacker, and after that it’s been a s*** storm, I don’t see how one hacker, screwed it up for months to come, either A. The IT Department needs an overhaul, or B. Someone is still f***ing with us and we just don’t see it.

Excellent. That’s great news.

Cool, looking forward to that.

FORUM IS BACK!!!

And I’m no longer an admin. haha

I can’t log in either… It’s not recognizing any of my reset passwords, either…

Looking real nice. A good clean finish. It’s refreshing to see after looking at mine and its weathered metallic for so long, haha.

Looking sharp, Walker!

Also… Are you doing something different when you upload pictures? Every time you do, I see two separate threads for the same pic, and if it’s a thread where you upload multiple pics, it creates a thread for each picture o.O?

Thanks a lot guys.

And Chapel I have no idea why it does that. I’ve seen it do that before, but I don’t know why. I just click attach media, type up my post. Then click post update.

hot damn thats nice!

Thanks man. I was excited to see how it would turn out. It doesn’t rotate unfortunately, I didn’t have the tools to go that far with the mod. But I’m happy with it.

I like that color you used and the mono-eye is very prominent, at least in that pic. It’s got that menacing look for sure. I suppose I should post up the head on mine soon too, haha.

Your work lives up to the kit’s name. That Ksmpfer looks amazing!

Is that an LED?

Show off the head. You know you want to. I’ll show off the head on mine too so you won’t feel lonely, haha.

For the cannons, I wonder if you can just slice the whole peg sections off from the KA’s and cement them to whatever mounts you’ll use.

you could try cutting sections off the runners and then sanding/gluing them to the end of the peg to try and extend them and show off that head! haha

What I have decided to do, is instead of using the peg the cannons came with. I’m going to glue in a piece of runner into the slot where the peg is supposed to go. Then fill it in with putty, sand it smooth, and paint it. I figure that should be a lot more secure than gluing an extension onto an existing peg. I’ll just make one for the right side,…[Read more]

Sounds like you’r’e going with original colors, haha. Can’t wait to see it.

Which binder brackets are you referring to?

Superglue stinks on model kits. Use plastic model cement, or maybe E6000?

Can’t wait to see the first painted parts. All airbrushed on this, right?

Yep, all airbrushed.

I need only one. And the HG Turn A and RG Exia, of course. But I think I’ll have to wait; got a massive backlog.

Why two? It’s not like the HG transforms. Or is it because you want to do one stock and one custom?

I’m going to wait for a long time before I get one. It looks great, but somehow I’m all spent in terms of the Unicorn design. I guess that’s what happens when you get four RDs, one of the HGUCs, and the Metal Composite figure. Too many of the design on my shelf.

Very good first kit to be airbrushed. I don’t mind the clear green application too much too since it looks nice at certain angles.

Thanks guys. I’ve put into a bit more of a dramatic pose after the shoot. As if it were rushing forward for a shoulder tackle. I learned a lot from this kit. I hope that I can what learned here and make my Kampfer Amazing look 10x better.

I can only hope that my first airbrushing experience ends up looking as good as this. Great job, Walker!

Looks good! Which category was this entered into?

looks really good!

You just turned this kit from good to awesome! I love the color scheme! It adds a mature and serious feel into it.

Thanks a lot guys, overall I’m really happy with how this kit has turned out. Just hope my next one turns out this good or better.
