Since my question didn't get answered in the previous thread: are there larger Gundam marker sizes for MG kits or bigger? I'd assume so.

I decided to get the HG Shining Gundam. Not sure if I'm ready for MG yet. Gonna work on the Astraea this weekend.

Crappy cellphone pics of the finished Astraea:  Turned out pretty well. I like how I don't have to change the hands around to clip the guns in. Also there were a ton of extra parts, which are probably for some other variant of the MS or something? Can't wait to get Shining Gundam. It's definitely going to be in Shining Finger mode on display.

I finished the HG Shining Gundam kit. Only issues with it are the leg flaps are hard to put in their open position for super mode, and the giant Shining Finger hand doesn't seem to fit on the smaller hand (I must be doing something wrong). Good kit, but I may end up splurging on the MG version just so I can transform it to super mode without resorting to taking it apart.

Eh, that's fine with me. The main reason I'd want it is minimal "parts leprosy" for the super mode and having the leg flaps fold out instead of taking them off and trying to get them into a better position is good enough. Also, I'm probably going to have to look into getting some gold Gundam Markers so I can paint the "shining" parts. It doesn't have the Shining Finger Sword, though

Son Ryo posted:Can you confirm that what you got was the HGFC Shining? Because I was thinking of getting one myself, and the link here http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Shining-Gundam-Future-Century/dp/B0052PEUFE/ref=pd_sim_t_1 specifically mentions the Shining Finger Sword and has it in the pictures too.

How good are the Revoltech Patlabor figures? I'm thinking of getting one because they look so cool (plus I watched the first movie and it kicked rear end)

Honest Ray posted:I have all of them except the Helldiver (if anyone has it I'd be interested) and the Aqua type Griffon. I'm rather fond of them. Make sure to get the movie versions though, way better than the original ones. The biggest issue is Alphonse and 02 are under the same Revoltech production number so make sure you know which one you're getting. I had to argue with people for sending me the wrong one because they had it misrepresented.

I got the Revoltech Patlabor in today, and...it can't hold the revolvers or the shotgun. The hands for holding them seem to be sculpted wrong.

Honest Ray posted:I had this problem too. Seeing as you're in a modelling thread, what you need to do is take your exacto knife and shave off some of the paint on the inside of the hand which will let the robot hold it.

I may as well post it holding a gun. Didn't notice it before but the shotgun has a working pump. Badass.

There are other shmup kits too, Atelier Sai did one of Vic Viper and there used to be an R-9 kit on HLJ or someplace else but it was a garage kit with no instructions and it probably required painting too. I remember seeing tons of garage kits of the R-Type Final craft on one website and wishing those got made into actual kits. There was also a kit of the Silpheed ship and the Strega from Philosoma, both of which were also probably garage kits.

Kotobukiya is doing a Gunhed kit and it looks loving amazing: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2012/11/17/feature-gunhed-model-kits-attack-kotobukiyas-akihabara-store   Pricetag is pretty steep though. Also, it doesn't talk and encourage you by mentioning baseball games.

So, I got SRC Big Volfogg today and I can't figure out how to turn his legs. It doesn't seem like there are ball joints in them at all. e: Okay, I kind of can move his legs but trying to make him cross his arms like on the box is hell. Still a great figure though.

I've lanced myself once with a knife while building gunpla and it was due to making the awful mistake of not cutting away from myself. Never gonna make that mistake again.

So this happened to one of the joints when I was assembling the RG GP01: It can still sort of work but that part near the foot will flop around. Not sure if I can glue it.

I'll probably just assemble the rest of the GP01 with the inner frame of the leg exposed or something and call it battle damage.

EthanSteele posted:Frame Arms are cool as hell, what's a good one that's representative of them in general? I've decided that I'm just gonna assemble the rest of the GP01 and pretend it's damaged, or I'll just have the core fighter displayed with its landing gear down and the rest of the components placed like they're being repaired or something. If I want to have a gunpla with an inner frame I'll just get an MG instead, RG just seems too fiddly for me.

So hey, good news: That ankle joint breaking on RG GP01 wasn't a problem and I was able to put the rest of the leg panels on fine.

Has anyone gotten the Kotobukiya Knights of Sidonia kit? I saw there's a Riobot figure (2 in fact, one came out last year and another is coming this year) but it's way too expensive...thing is the kit requires glue and paint, the former of which I can do but the latter is a bit daunting although the mechs are mostly off-white. Also I guess Riobot stuff sounds cool, they did Cyberbots figures too.

Apparently the Tsugumori pretty much needs a base and won't stand on its own so I'll have to get a base with it

The Kotobukiya stand it needs is also really hard to find, unless Action Bases work too. e: Looks like an Action Base works as well. Dunno why the hell it's so hard to find Koto's bases.

In non-kit news, there's gonna be Figmas of the Guardes from Knights of Sidonia (sans the Tsugumori though), so I guess I can hold off on that Kotobukiya kit now: http://www.plastikitty.com/home/summer-wonfest-2014-max-factorys-knights-of-sidonia-figures (link may be slightly NSFW)
