You'll need an air compressor of course.

It might be safer to vacuum degas your resin beforehand, though. You can build a vacuum chamber out of pvc pipe and use a shopvac.

I believe that's the first ever transparent part in an IBO kit (discounting the Hyakuri and Kimaris Trooper's stands). It's pretty cool how they're treating 'holy poo poo this thing has a beam weapon' with the maximum possible gravitas.

Not unless you count the special edition transparent IBO kits :smuggo:.

It's an ensemble, but the Barbatos was designed by Naohiro Washio so he's setting the beat for everyone to follow.

Several people. according to the gundam wiki it's Naohiro Washio, Kanetake Ebikawa, Ippei Gyoubu, Kenji Teraoka and Tamotsu Shinohara. I know gyoubu's done some of the villain gundams and the rodi family, but other than that i don't know who did what exactly.

Have any of you bothered using Mr. Mark Setter/Softer (mostly Softer I'm curious about) with clear adhesive decals? I'm gonna build my Zaku Live ver. and I was curious since I just stocked up on Setter and Softer for my Fei-Yen build (which was in fact pretty rough - not impossible, but I wouldn't recommend it for the inexperienced) and I didn't want to screw up the decals for the Zaku but I have the stuff so yeah...

IBO is one of the few Gundam shows where the main Gundam is my favourite design, usually the lead suit is really bland and conservative but the Barbatos is pretty distinctive. Kimaris comes a close second.

Naohiro Washio did all versions of the Barbatos.
Kanetake Ebikawa did all versions of the Graze, plus the Flauros and Geirail.
Tamotsu Shinohara did all the Teiwaz suits except the Shiden.
Ippei Gyobu did all versions of the Rodi, Shiden, Hexa (Hugo, Gilda, et cetera), Gusion, and Kimaris (including the Vidar).
The Grimgerde is a mystery, but as a Graze ancestor, it's probably Ebikawa's baby.

If you mean stickers, then no, Setter/Softer does not work.

Thanks for letting me know. :3: I figured it wouldn't be necessary, but I also thought it might do well for the edges of the decal/sticker, MAYBE, so I asked before ruining anything. :toot:

So I'm debating the camouflage on my newest project. The basic structure uses a light green torso and the arms and legs are all a very dark green/gray. I'm going to do a mottled brown camouflage over the dark green/gray parts. the only question is:

Snakes or dots?

The graze is a really good design but not quite "perfect". I still think they could beef the arms up a little. Those wrist cuffs are lame.

They're hardpoints for steadying heavy equipment like the rifle and shield. You'd want to keep them in some capacity, and they'd still need to be a shape that allows them to rotate around the arm.

And you dont want to abandon them, because they're great for letting the models use one handed guns that aren't hilariously thin without getting that limp-wristed sag.

Assuming they're making models of them all the same way they did grazes during s1, there's at least one more coming.

Nope, most of them were regular. The only one that wasn't was the Carta Boytoy grunt version of the Graze Ritter.

Looked it up and you're wrong. The Ares Graze (the aforementioned blue one) and Gaelio's Schwalbe Graze were both P-bandai. There was no model made of the standard Ritter.

Huh, I stand corrected. I swore there was some kind of Ritter variance though. Alternate shoulder stickers in the box maybe?

Hey BB, has anyone ever attempted to make a resin not-MG of the Virtue? I'm seeing all these plastic versions of 00 suit conversions coming out and it's the one thing I hope for.

Nadleeh optional.

Model Legend made a conversion kit for the Nadleeh Akwos. That's it.

If you're okay with sidestepping to Seravee though, Model Legend also made a conversion kit for the Seravee GNHW/3G. I'm still not entirely certain if you need to buy two copies of it, though.

You can make Gaelio's Schwalbe graze with the first IBO option parts set, the one that comes with his lance. I appreciate that they gave us alternatives to paying a million dollars on retarded p-bandai markup.

Animation color. Although it has grown on me, I liked Tatsuya Yuki's Amazing red-scarlet variant.

The manual for the Scrambled-eggs gundam references the Zeta (obviously) as well as the seven swords 0, Acgguy and EZ-8. I have no idea why.

That's the Amazing Exia. It's referenced as PPSE's last major work. Acguy and EZ-8 are there as representative aquatic and land-specialized mechs because the Scramble is supposed to be an all purpose unit or something.

Also it doesn't just reference Zeta, it also draws on the Destiny for its wing binders.
