sorry bandai, i can’t settle for an hg kit this time around. the more i see that early type guntank, the more it grows on me. if you want my money for this one, its gotta be an mg
the sd series hasn’t really ever caught my attention before, but i gotta say that Bandai’s new ex-standard line has my curiosity piqued a bit. i’ll have to keep my eye on what they have in mind for those kits. for now though… bring on that MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0!
side note,
lookn forward to seeing syd show off that scout trooper with the…[Read more]
for weeks, i have been forsaken by the fickle god of interweb; but once more, i have regained favor and rejoice at having the privilege of viewing more hltv goodness! thanks for keepn on with the keepn on syd & ryan; lookn forward to seeing what wonders you reveal in the shizuoka hobby show vid
nice build, syd! that raiser assembly was sweet & your speed building skills were on point, too. as for my dinner, it wasn’t too bad; all in all, a pleasant ending to a not so pleasant tuesday
by the way, i like what you did there at the end:
oh; its getting close… waaait for it… almost there!… annnnnnnnd; nope! not putting 00 and the…[Read more]
whoa whoa whoa…
hold your horses, guys. 1 hr 26 minutes? yeeeahhh, i need to go fix me some dinner and get comfortable before we get this show rolling; give me a sec
mg jegan! Why are you not a real thing yet?!
Considering their prevalence throughout several series (and 30something years of UC timeline, apparently), am I the only one who doesn’t understand how this mobile suit still has gotten 0% MG love from Bandai?
this is so true… your post made me think about it. for something so popular, i’m surprised they haven’t milked it on the MG line just like the iterations on HG and with P-Bandai exclusives too.
sinanju would an epic sight to behold, but something tells me we’d see a pg banshee/norn before the sinanju…
i mean bandai already has the frame and led setup fully developed; its just a matter of color swap and accessory creation. anyway, that’s the pg i’m placing my money on seeing next
thanks for saying so! as long as no one looks at them too closely & realizes that ‘weathering’ effect is just a fluke, i guess i could go with that. the red on the front are actually jewel pieces made by HiQParts. they can be found on hlj (http://www.hlj.com/product/HQPVCDOME-R/Sci). first time i’ve used them, and i’ve gotta say i like the look…[Read more]
missile pods?
nah, how bout beam reflector funnels… (if only i knew what the heck i was doing when it comes to hand painting; i suck at that game)
they’ll eventually be…
Looks fine from here. It looks like the back of the missile pods have some wear to them, so you could have fooled me. So it’s not bad hand painting, it’s an awesome painting job with weathering 😉
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get that cool effect on the red at the front of the pods? Looks really great!

that head unit led customization is a thing of beauty…
on a side note, that cracked housing effect on the left leg’s gn condenser looks pretty awesome as a battle damage feature; how exactly did you pull that off and make the cracks look so clean?
wow… haven’t seen that artwork in a long while!
all i can think is: zaku for the head & lower legs/feet, something along the gm family of mobile suits for the waist/upper legs, not sure about the arms and torso, but the shoulders remind me vaguely of the tallgeese? kinda? maybe just a little…
lastly, the reflector panels off of the gundam x…[Read more]
would it be wrong if i said i wanted to see bandai make some pod racer kits? they definitely aren’t one of the first things that come to mind when thinking of star wars, but i thought they were a pretty fascinating aspect of the franchise, all the same
if there was ever a kit which benefited more from having a custom led job plugged into its head unit than any other, this is probably it. that ‘terminator’ eye effect your exia has is frickn awesome!
robotech and sony?! what could it mean?
i never watched robotech, but i’ve seen a handful of macross series and have been a fan of the valkyries ever since i first saw them; i think it’d be pretty epic to see sony bring them to life on the big screen.
speaking of valkyries, i couldn’t help but notice that bandai’s new dx chogokin vf-19 may be…[Read more]

Agreed!!!!!!!
