You have no loving idea who much I just want to say gently caress it and chuck the thing in the trash...

Also, my GM Sniper K9 and HG Turn A arrived today. Also got a pair of extra "HG Customize Campaign" weapon sets with them (C which is some kind of beam rifle, it looks like, and E which is some dual-sword looking thing).

I just got my Crossbone Maoh home from the post office, and I got C as well. Which was the only one in the set I didn't want to get :negative:. I think it's meant to be a bullpup sniper rifle, judging by the scope and shape. The two I'd actually like out of the set are D; the bigass Hyper Laser thing, and F; the gatling gun.

edit: Wow, the Crossbone Maoh is tiny. I don't own them so I can't make a direct comparison, but I'm guessing it's on the scale of the F91 and V Gundams.

Huh, didn't know they were connected. Whooo wants Crossbone pics?


The Cutlass is nice, and the blade's goddamn huge, but the handle's narrow enough that it'll slip. The flintlock pistol's got it's own special hands with a tab in the palm to hold the pistol in place.


The combined rifle's got it's own special hand to hold it (though only one for the right hand), set on an angle to hold it parallel with the wrist and it sits nice and snug. The rifle from the Custom Campaign's alright for a free gun, and it's about the same quality as any other HG weapon.


The bone weapons stay nice and steady, but I wish there was a polycap in the wrist.

I know I shouldn't have had super high expectations for a high grade, but that seam right along the back of the buster gun seems like something bandai could've avoided, and the big peg that plugs it into the waist is ugly. Oh well, I'll still get the x-1 when it comes out and hope the inevitable x-2's shotlancer looks good

It's a good kit, since it's basically the OYW Gundam. It needs some work to make the samurai armor really look good though.

I had one of these fall off a shelf while I was at work.



Literally named the Armored Core FRAGILE it certainly lived up to its name. I got it 95% put back together but a few little nibs snapped off and have yet to be glued back on.

Speaking of fragile, I got bored so I decided to repair the car crash that was once my FA Unicorn, and here is the results:



Improvements include:

- Putting his feet and lower legs back into Unicorn mode to improve his proportions slightly
- Having him standing with an action base attached so he now has three legs
- Half of the weapons are gone
- Superglued all joints minus the ankles and hip joints, cause gently caress this flimsy thing

3 hours of work, and the thing only breaks just as I'm about to finish. :negative:

This was a test sheet so I'm not that torn up (and from this I learned that priority one is to get this sheet trimmed down to a more cuttable size), but drat that's just a slap in the face. Oh well, time to practice detailing with superglue.

EDIT: Wow that didn't work out. Eh, screw the feather effect, I'll just sand and spray glitter everywhere. :effort:

1/8th of an inch, and like I said priority one is to get it trimmed down to like 1/16th. Both so it'll fit in the V2's thrusters, and so cutting out a piece doesn't take hours of effort.

Man I'm really glad I chose to get the 1/100 DX instead of the DX + G-Falcon.



Not only do I not even want to imagine trying to make the G-Falcon less of a piece of poo poo without a handy HG to use as reference,



but the fuckton of accessories packed in are awesome and guaranteed to not be on the inevitable actual MG.



Too bad for my MG GX though. It's just gonna stay half completed until the DX catches up to it.

EDIT: By the way, that white piece on the DX's action base? It's supposed to be gray. :v:
