Richard Baker Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 That is going to be a fun build up! BTW- it has been mentioned that the Lab Pod does not seem to fit the model properly- thing is that Lab Pod is accurate and the kit is not. It will go together but it will take a little adapting for it to mate up properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the dual kit in the mail yesterday myself. When I get around to painting it, I'll probably do it as Blue Leader (sans the glorious mustache, of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Just received the Plamax Gypsy Danger - big hero robot from Pacific Rim - and it looks very good in the box. There's an articulated inner body/frame in ABS with lots of pipes and nurnies, to which you fit styrene armour panels so it looks to go together much like a Master Grade Gundam kit. It's billed as 1/350 - I thought it would be bigger because it uses a ship as a bat in the film, but looking again I think it's a small coaster rather than a container ship, so that'd just about work. Good news since there's a world of 1/350 stuff to put with it Cheers, Will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done a quick Google search and they look really cool Does yours have the LED system or will you do it yourself?

Will Vale Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They've been in development for what seems like ages! It comes with a single LED for the chest reactor, but if you were to fit the plasma cannons (or light up the elbow rocket!) you'd need to do it yourself. I'll get some pics since I'm waiting for paint to dry on the 2199 ships, hold on. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So will you do the hand cannons? A kit that detailed is crying for that kind of lighting, and given how smart you are with programming, I am sure you could make it do all sorts of crazy things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I was thinking, having tried a bit of sculpting now, that I'd really like to do the scene from the opening where GD is fighting a Kaiju while holding a fishing boat No promises though. Here are some pics, starting with the awesome box art. I think this is my fave box since Bandai's Shinkai DSV, and the vertical format looks great: And here are some sample sprues, still in bags I'm afraid but hopefully you can see something behind the reflections: The grey frame is ABS and covers five sprues (two duplicates) and the rest is styrene (three large, two small and one tiny sprue of blue, plus one of clear). There are decals for markings - mostly striping and a bit of insignia. Oh yes, and a sheet of black "poly cap" joint pieces which are called out as ABS in the instructions unlike the usual vinyl. The LED unit and a couple of screws come in a small cardboard box. Mouldings look very clean but I'd be surprised if there are no sink marks on the armour panels as there are some quite thick sockets and other extensions on their back sides for connecting to the frame. Rather a quality production, assuming it fits! They also do Cherno Alpha which was what I was going to get originally, but I ended up going for GD because Cherno doesn't get to do much in the movie, and the shape of GD really grew on me.

Madhatter Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 there is some really nice detail there. This would be a great WIP (hint hint) I also think it could look cool painted in some kind of splinter camo - although the original scheme does look cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Baker Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I just got the 1:1000 classic D-7 prepaint kit. I have a number of kits of this already, but I went for the prepaint just because it has two weird colors- a soft lavender and off-mint green, which match the original filming model. These are two colors that would be a real bear to match and apply without an airbrush. The other kits I will build and modify into some alternate versions, but I wanted at least one which was in the classic colors. Last week I got a Bandai 1:72 A-Wing. People were upset that the kit may not be to scale when compared to some model shots from RotJ (story is that ILM just dropped in a generic pilot of a different scale to save time), but it does match scale with a full size prop built for Star Wars 8- The Last Jedi. It is great kit and I love the smaller gun tower they included with it, which I think is 1:144 scale- opinions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Something a bit different ] Well not the Yamato mini ships, but the figure. I quite liked the sci-fi look, sort of anime meets stormtrooper and I've been meaning to do a Koto kit for a while. Surprisingly hefty box so interesting to see what it ends up like Also scored a Bandai Boba Fett and Clonetrooper. I know the prequels are a bit hit and miss but Clones were awesome I also acquired a charming little Darjeeling figurine from Girls und Panzer but that's not quite sci-fi Edited January 25, 2017 by Misrule 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Some interesting goodies there, hope you do a WIP of the WISM kit. I've got a Kotobukiya fantasy figure (Etrian Odyssey archer) which looks ace in the box. Cheers. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootyPuffJunior Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I received Bandai's Vehicle Model 004, which is the First Order TIE fighter set. My plan is to make a diorama with them and the 1/144 scale Millennium Falcon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
