Smaller:
Should be able to fit the Strike RM in the middle with some readjusting. I hope.
Jesus approves.

I think I'd be willing to hold out on the Strike Freedom. More likely to go with an MG Aile Strike first.
I did start on the HG Zaku I Char version. This is going to be a real test for me in getting decals on considering a lot of them are tiny as fuck. Definitely taking my time with this one anyway.

Also finally completed my Gundam model for the month: The F91. I think I posted about it before, but here he is fully detailed, decaled, and the base painted. Figured it'd be a decent practice run for painting the White Ogre later this summer.

So, while watching Gundam X I've been noticing something with my Right Stuf DVD copies. Dialogue said off-screen doesn't play. There are subtitles that indicate Jamil or someone is talking off screen, and characters react, but it's like a certain audio track is missing. At first I thought it was my DVD player, but I've also tried those scenes in my computer and the dialogue is still absent. Is that just a thing with this release or do I perhaps have bum copies or something?

That's weird, I don't remember any of that. You mean you don't ear character talking when they should? If it's a problem I never noticed.

Sort of, I'll be more specific. For example. In episode 11 when Garrod is out on the ice, Jamil convincing him to go get the Gundam Control Stick, Garrod nabs it and shouts out that he did it. Jamil then shouts Garrod's name from off screen and Garrod turns to see him.
On my copy at least Jamil's dialogue has no audio, but he's clearly said something because the subtitles and Garrod's reaction give it away.
EDIT: Weird. It didn't work correctly in my PC Laptop, or in my DVD Player, but the audio track played fine in my PS3. So weird.

Gundam Turn A update now in the "second season." Woah that got serious quick with the introduction of
and I'm glad it got more serious with the realization that they were still out there. Also like the introspection of only the characters who were there and the characters who think big picture realize how dang bad they are, while everyone else just sees them as a best way to win.
Sochie is starting to grow on me a bit. I still don't like her, but I also think its partly how her scenes are written. Dianna staying a boss though. Seriously dig the pace, setting, and situation of this show.
Still no Turn X! I always hear about how people love the Turn X gunpla so I was hoping this would convince me to pick it up but man were almost 30 episodes deep and the pilot has only been mentioned but not shown!

First build turned out alright. Fumbled a lot with trimming and panel lining, but I thought I got better as I got further in. Looking forward to finding time to do another build, but probably not all at once like this one.

I love how the translate option interprets part of that tweet as "Acguy hot times".

That is some really nice, subtle panel lining. Most people go overboard with the lining the first time, so good job avoiding that pitfall.

IIRC it's in July.
Also its looks like they're going to end this season of Thunderbolt with the 2 big action sequences from parts of Volume 5 and 7. Also, they added in a few anime original scenes.
Daryl's Acguy is kinda cool. I didn't expect them to bring back the seismic sensor from 08th MS Team
June 23, first available for members of the Gundam Fan Club smartphone application, later broadcasted on YouTube.

Key Visual for the next TB episode
I'm really glad they're keeping Io's GM scene and not putting him in one of the Ground Gundams. Finally, a GM will get its chance in the spotlight

Really enjoyed the Child Not-Char Cyber Newtype arc. I like that Garrod finally shaped up and has improved as a pilot. I also enjoyed learning a little bit more about the war and that there are still factions lying in wait.
One thing that bothers me visually is how boring the backgrounds tend to be. Especially aboard Jamil's ship it seems like most rooms are just metal squares with maybe one or two objects/tables strewn about. It's not a big deal, and they get to get around it by framing the characters tight but it is a little disappointing.
I really loved the Witz centric episode, was nice to see him and the other for hire pilot get some more depth and development.
The Dolphin arc was a bit weird, but in general I could get behind it. I think they might be my least enjoyed episodes so far though.

Be warned Axis is five 3 minute episodes with the sixth being 8 minutes. There's barely anything to adapt. Bandai throwing money at series that have barely begun and still ignoring Crossbone.

Wow really? That's it? I thought it was full 25-30 min episodes. That's a downer.

It's only one book. That said I had hoped that it would be at least an hour long like the Thunderbolt movie

Even so, I mean, most light novels can be adapted into 3-4 episodes. This seems... slim as hell. Maybe it was a really tiny book.

The real question is: Did you love the Bertigo and think it's a cooler Qubeley clone than the Qubeley itself?
And do you mourn that never in the coldest days of hell will we get a decent model of it? 
1/72 Millennium Falcon. Which would explain why I didn't see it on gundamkitscollection when I checked their site this morning.

Well that looks cool, it'll probably be a 40,000 yen P-Bandai exclusive and they'll make 4 of them.The real question is: Did you love the Bertigo and think it's a cooler Qubeley clone than the Qubeley itself?And do you mourn that never in the coldest days of hell will we get a decent model of it?

Perfect Grade 1/72 Millennium Falcon.
Isn't this the first non-Gundam PG since Eva-01?
I wanted to share my latest model build. It's my first time experimenting with weathering, and I'm not sure how it turned out.
My thought process was that I wanted to build a robot that looked like it has been in the forest and had seen some stuff Conceivably there should be more weathering on the legs and arms IMHO.
One somewhat before weathering
can't wait!
Also David the robotech anime is on amazon. so far I like it.
edit: talking about the original tv series.
Are we talking about Robotech or Macross because that'll determine what reaction gif you're getting.
Macross* the original saga.
EDIT:
GREAT JOB GUYS ON the build! The gundam seed display by Sum zero, the F91, and that zaku 2 <3. great stuff all around. Gunpla reddit is a great place to post finished builds.

I believe they are technically both on there.

So, do you mean Robotech: The Macross Saga, or Super Dimension Fortress Macross? Because I believe both are on there and the latter is what you should be watching.
And thanks! End of the month I'll be getting MG Aile Strike RM to finish the display.
The robotech one. What's the difference besides subs
The Sum of Zero

Character name changes, edited scenes, story and terminology changes. To get too specific would require spoilers.
SDF Macross is the original. Robotech is the westernized version (think like how GoLion became Voltron, or how Zyuranger became Power Rangers). It's not just an english dub.

it's definitely pretty good, glad you like it!
Not going to lie I loved voltron and power rangers. Might stick with the sub since I gotten used to the voices
