Looks really slick, great work.
I had a chance to buy one of the Patlabor MGs a couple years ago and I didn't, which I'm really starting to regret. They're only going to get harder to find and the chances of Bandai doing another run of them is likely nil...

Finished panel-lining and half-decaling my RG Qan[T]. Took me an entire day and still haven't been able to place all decals (back hurts now).

Man Wing has a great OST. The song that plays on Zero's first introduction is too good.
Because of Gundam Vs. coming out for the PS4 here this Thursday, back into Gundam mode!
Finished watching 0079 yesterday and started watching Zeta right away. Currently on episode 4/5 and I'm shocked how much better it looks than the first series.
So far the MC is acting like an idiot and there's a lot of punching.
Speaking of Gundam Vs., does anyone have any links to good guides (either English or Japanese is fine) how to play the game well?
I've spent some time playing around in the trial, but I'm terrible at it.

Same here I'm bad lol. I got decent at Full Boost but have not played since then. Hoping to at least clear the single player stuff lol. Din't play the beta much since I planned on buying it though...
My problem is that I never got actually good at Full Boost, but whatever, I'll manage!
I remember that I joined the IRC channel for a while when Full Boost came out, will probably jump on discord later this week.
PSA: The preload for Gundam Vs. has started! Hype!

Figured I'd post my DVDs here since eventually I'll be replacing them with Blu. As I noted in the other thread, I used to have CCA and the MSG movies, but sold them to help pay for an E3 trip years and years ago.
Watched CCA without watching most of UC besides 0080/0083 and holy shit was I confused. Eventually I realized my error. Having never researched the series too heavily at the time, I just had to keep putting Gundam series in my collection! Snapped up DVDs when I saw them at the store, bought kits and wouldn't use nippers to put them together (my fingers and lots of twisting!).
Wow what a weird random Gundam rant, well anyway....

MG Justice Review:

Pretty short but with the same frame as the Freedom 2.0 and Providence I guess there's not much new that you can say about articulation and the like.

i like it. just love the look "like a toy from the 80's" style.
nice! you're a trooper to actually do the RG decals. it usually takes me several days to do. i started decaling as i build to get the tough to reach parts out of the way.

Sometimes living in a small city isn't so bad. DAY -1
The red and white thing is a little card with a dlc code for Scramble and Virtue Gundams. Mom and pop place I go to for games always wraps the extras in these craft paper things for some reason.
Nice!
I still have to wait 4,5 hours before the digital preorder unlocks.
If you want to play together sometimes, send me a PSN friend invite, my name is in my profile.

MB Quan, i'll pre-order this.
Kind of slow around here lately. Just popped in to say I started building the RG Sinanju and I'm in love with the feet! lol. It's my 6th RG kit and it's definitely got the best looking feet so far. Oh and the glossy red is absolutely beautiful!
(I don't have a foot fetish)
(I don't have a foot fetish)
Thanks to your motivational support, I've completed my second RG, panel lines and stickers and all. I'm really loving the RG now:

MGs are still my one true love though. Already picked up the MG Qan[T}, and already considering the Red Frame Astray.

Two more days of work then I can relax on a long weekend. My friend is leaving for two weeks too so no random drinking parties ect. I might start and finish my Providence!
Speaking of Gunpla, I grabbed the IBO 1/100 Vidar last week. Was thinking about it for the last few months, but I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. Making it took me one evening. I haven't made a gunpla in months, so I was pleasantly surprised about that.
Pictures:
Thanks to Gundam VS I got into a Gundam mood - started watching Zeta/G Gundam, and grabbed Justice which I might try making over the long weekend:

Doing my first full painted build for the first time in ages. Working on the MG Crossbone Full Cloth. Right now all the frame/frame colored parts are done and primed and I finished nub sanding the white and yellows today. Going to do the reds and blues tomorrow. I forgot how tiring and tedious it can be to try to actually take nubs super seriously.
I'll post some good in progress photos when I start painting for real, but I've got to wait for my airbrush to get back from servicing. Hopefully next week. I've never been able to get a fully successful paint job that I've been super satisfied with on a kit yet, but I'm really starting to feel this one.
Also have a 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex that I hand painted the details on but still needs a matte coat to finish. Will go ahead and do that with my MG at the end.

Just finished watching it. It gives no hint to future episodes but here is hoping. It would be weird to stop it where it ended thus far.

Io sure does like to kick things
Still doing prep work on the Crossbone FC, but just realized how bad the seam on the muramasa blaster is. Trying to think of what might be the best way to fix it. Right now, I'm thinking of painting the yellow beam holders, masking them while they're outside the blaster, fixing the seam+painting the white blaster and then cut the mask off the yellow beam parts. That looks to me to be the easiest thing to do as it doesn't seem that it's possible to insert those yellow parts after assembly of the blaster/sword nor does masking them after seem like a workable plan.
For reference, I'm talking about the giant sword here.
Luckily the skull emblems can be added after so those yellow bits down the middle are the main issue. I'm still very new to seam fixing, so maybe I'm missing an idea here.

Compilation movie announced
I can promise you that Thunderbolt will get more episodes, but I'm not Shun.
That was the end of volume 7.
That was the end of volume 7.
The key visual is very nice but I can't in good faith recommend this second season to anyone. It feels so flimsy and incomplete. As a film it'll hold up no better. There's really no "arc" to this part of the story at all. It introduces a new setting, a new threat, and then before anything even happens in this scenario all the characters go "omg!" and it ends. Zero satisfaction.

I think Volume 10 is releasing in Japan soon. 8 and 9 could probably be mashed together into one episode since 8 is relatively uneventful. The current arc still feels like it has a bit to go but there has been quite a few twists and turns in the recent chapters
There's a PV for Bandit Flower, but there's no new footage:
https://twitter.com/gundam_tb/status/886742784010371072
Also, it's mostly explosions
It probably would have worked better if they waited for the story to develop more before they went and adapted it, but at the current rate its going that would probably take at least another 2 years before they could get to some kind of satisfying conclusion. It could probably work well as a 12 episode series, but I wonder how much the animation quality would suffer if they had to release it weekly

Yeah, it's a big picture season. It'll work with future episodes.
Yeah I really think they should have waited an extra year for Thunderbolt. Having 8-12 episodes in 2018 would work far better than having 4 episodes in 2017 and waiting a year for another 4 episodes, with the way this arc is paced.
Don't see why a 12 episodes series can't be released monthly as it already is, on VOD. Doesn't have to be weekly.

That would be preferred, but I'm not confident that Sunrise would be willing to commit more than a year for an ONA series.
Hopefully, with the success of things like the Castlevania Netflix series they'll consider investing more time and money into these kinds of projects
