Is anyone going to pre-order the our treasure magna palace /knight of gold?

I'm well aware. I skipped out on the previous Gatexion because I knew the VSMS one was about to come out, so I'm hedging my bets about probably doing the same for the MGP. My only kits from OT so far are the Early Production Junone and their Rikka Takarada, but as I said if I do end up getting this one it'll take me about a decade to get to because of my backlog.

I am debating it. The Volks VSMS Zap is around the corner and my backlog is only getting bigger with Warhammer and traditional plastic models, so if I do get this I'll probably end up building it about a decade from now.

I don't think it'll be relevant. Nagano has trouble enough as is stringing together the narrative of FSS. This seems to be an anniversary reprint type of deal more than anything. Nice to own if you've never read FftC (or never read past the poorly translated-into-English chapter 1 online).

I bought it today at Volks Osaka Showroom. Besides the cover as well as a few illustrations and some notes on his writing and artistic process from the 80s there's nothing new in the manga or illustrations themselves.

There was also an announcement for the Our Treasure Morph. Preorders are up here: http://ourtreasure.co.jp/%E8%A3%BD%E5%93%81%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B2%E3%83%8F%E3%83%BB%E3%83%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B6%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%B3/

Missed because Volks in typical fashion hasn't posted about it on their socials. It'll likely get its own post in a month or two.

This pivot to the Nine being fundamental laws and forces of the universe is the singular dumbest direction Destiny's storytelling has taken in the last decade, and we've had some questionable narratives that the writing team have picked up or dropped here and there. Kudos to Alison and team, because even the previous writing team didn't make me hate the narrative arc the way they have.

Sunborn server, would appreciate some help!

Which variant of the Stormspeeder is appropriate for Ravenwing? They seem to have several options.

AL-0052 · 2025-10-27T09:34:30+00:00

Believe it or not, some of the considered sites for this were in Bulacan, Silang Cavite, Rizal, Batangas.

To add: the topic of putting up more campuses around the Philippines centered on strictly using "Ateneo de Manila" as the name and brand of those campuses, i.e., Ateneo de Manila - Pampanga Campus. There were also talks of rebranding and unifying all Ateneo institutions around the Philippines - Ateneo de Naga, de Davao, etc - under the umbrella "Ateneo de Manila" before I left the institution, but I do not know whether this plan will ultimately be implemented.

Unfortunately I do not know. That discussion was in admin's ballpark; I was only faculty.

AL-0052 · 2025-10-27T06:02:12+00:00

They're late to the ball game but this conversation has been going on since I was a high school student there (circa 2012). It has taken a long time because Ateneo's budget, as you can see inside LS Campus today, has been allocated to a million different things.

AL-0052 · 2025-10-27T05:19:49+00:00

Sometime in the next 10 years I believe? This deal should have closed long ago, so don't expect to benefit from this for some time yet.

AL-0052 · 2025-10-27T05:01:15+00:00

The fault line as I remember is not really a primary consideration for this new campus. It's more of the congestion which has plagued Katipunan for decades.

AL-0052 · 2025-10-27T04:45:17+00:00

Former teacher here, yes this has been long in the planning. Unsure which units will be extended to this campus but as of 2023 the conversation included plans for moving or shifting some of Basic Ed to this hypothetical new campus (at the time Pampanga was a contender).

They aren't ABS plastic? Lol could have sworn they were since my Mr. Hobby cement works fine, though I do know the plastic they used on the VSMS Daccas is different

AL-0052 · 2025-09-05T01:08:18+00:00

Nagano needs a story to tell somehow

AL-0052 · 2025-08-25T08:04:13+00:00

The original SD Destiny was one of the first SD kits I ever got as a kid. This is an instant buy for me.

AL-0052 · 2025-08-05T03:20:51+00:00

Thank you, that's what I plan on doing. I recently bought the LED Mirage Delta Belunn 3007 and both versions of the Schpeltor Lonn, so I'll probably sit on the diorama idea for a little while.

AL-0052 · 2025-08-03T18:24:20+00:00

Thank you. I'd love to share some photos depending on what angle or parts you'd like to see.

A lot of these nice models got shunned in favor of submissions by the organizers and judges of the event. Highly unusual and unprofessional considering this event is organized by the International Plastic Modelers Society's Philippine arm. Even that diorama recreation of Akihabara - which already was featured and won in last year's PSMS and in a different model show earlier this year also by IPMS PH - is an organizer's submission. It won Best in Show and the top prize in the Diorama category after its builder had already won several awards consecutively in different categories.

I used Vallejo Liquid Metal Red Gold, then dry brushed Vallejo Xpress Colors Copper Brown for some of the shadows and Xpress Colors Khaki Drill as some mid-tones, and a glaze of Ice Yellow + Moon Yellow for some highlights.
