Re: ????? Group Build ?????

I'm cool with that.  I was hoping the deadline wouldn't be like sept 1st.  I cant wait to pick out something.  What about kits that aren't obviously good or bad?  Like Armored Core?  Can you just pick a side and declare which one you want?

Re: ????? Group Build ?????

I went to Parris Island of course! LoL! As for what my job or MOS as we call it, I am a 2147, for those who dont know what that is its an Light Armored Vehicle mechanic, or just simply an LAV mech.

 

I am going to take the time to figure out just what I want to do for this GB and what posible color sceams I can come up with. also I am going to slap the 1\100 Over Flag from Gundam 00 that I got a few months back. And yes I'm a bingin the camera so as I can document it all. Lets see how far I can get done on this kit in just 3-4 days.Big Smile [:D]

Re: ????? Group Build ?????

ok guys, heres the dirt.

First of those two kits, I dont know the second one, the raiden armor.  the first one is a Gundam Hard Graph kit.  There 1/35 and fall together like simlified WWII armor kits.  While they are snap together they are only guildes, so more gluing then normal bandai kits.  The figures are nicley molded.  The anti Ms team has some really nice poses in it.

 

As far as armored core goes.  The kits are extremly nice to look at, but to build, they are hell, tons of really tiny pieces all over the place.

 

as far as having fun for you on the 4th, Will do!  I'm a bell ringer for the 4th celebration in wilmington.

CJ that Raiden Armor looks cool.  I've never heard of it before, but if you get it you've got to let us know how it is cause I'd get it if it's good.  And it's not expensive either.

a year is more then enough time to choose a kit, get an idea, and build it.

Re: ????? Group Build ?????

I'm in.  Haven't participated in one of these before so i figure it's about time.

I was also thinking about the raiden, but I'd have to get a spare.  The one I have is set for straight-from-the-show appearance.  For those who are unfamiliar with it, it's from the anime "Gasaraki."  I have the series on dvd and it has an interesting "what if" element about mecha in a near-future battlefield.  The first few shows include a battle sequence of the other guys' mecha tearing into a formation of Bradleys.

The other, more whimsical option I'm thinking about is an EVA Unit 02 in a German armor camo pattern.  I figure it would be an interesting change from the usual bright red.

What the heck, maybe i'll do both.Big Smile [:D]

Re: ????? Group Build ?????
I think I've changed my mind on the AC piece for now.  I was looking it up on White Wizard Toys website and they are like 6 inches tall but 300 pieces.  I just dont feel like dealin with that many little bits right now.  I think I'll do one of the EX ships line for this in addition to whatever I decide get mecha wise.  Maybe the Magella Tank cause it comes in a pack of two so I could keep one Zeon Green and do the other in Axis colors.
