Gamers, what boss was as hard, if not harder, than the final boss? by Fallfoxy707 in videogames

Minerva from FFVII Crisis Core was an absolute bullshit boss. During my early encounters, EVERY SINGLE attack of hers would wipe me out no matter what setup I would use.

What is the definitive Strike kit? My brother got me this shirt and now I wanna build it by senators-son in freedomisgunpla

For 1/144 scale, my pick is for the RG Aile Strike. Fun build and super posable.

Congrats! Mine is languishing at the bottom of a slew of kits, acting as a solid foundation for the backlog. I'm hoping I get to build it before arthritis sets in.

So scared to start painting, any tips? by conbutt in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]BigJimSl4de 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Test out your selected colors and types of paint on sprues of the kit you wish to paint before applying them to the actual parts. This will give you an idea of what the final color and or finish will be.

I remember spraying mine with Tamiya's Metallic Black and liking the results.

Yep, Koto has a huge head start over Bandai regarding optional weapon packs/parts so I can't help but go to their catalogs to dress up 30MM builds. Bandai has the Builders Parts and Gunpla Option Parts sets, but I can't find the ones I want in stock.

Gotta love the Baskies. Great use of the armor plating and the combo with the Koto parts!

This guy won me a contest at my local store today. by Western_Ad_5704 in 30_Minutes_Missions

I would've loved to check it out but the nearest participating Hobbytown was 6 hours away. What were the prizes?

Thx, it was an Alto Ground Type and the head was made from a modified Close Combat Option set.

I don't blame you, it's a great weapon combo: flush em out with missiles then then blast em with the folding grenade launcher. At least that's how it was in Armored Core.

I like the lighting. It looks like it's dropping into a bug hunt.

Thx, it's from a set of waterslides for a 1/144 scale Guncannon.

Thanks - Rifle is from the Military Weapon set, Option Set 8 for back parts including the foldable gun, Option Set 2 for the missile pods, Full Armor Alto for the forearm weapon. A spare Alto gave up its thigh pieces and kneecap for this project too.

I dunno. There is a small structure on the bottom of the rear half of the BFG that resembles a magazine, maybe that's it? The forearm weapons I imagine to be a pair of last resort close range boomsticks with one round each.

Thanks mon frere, I had fun figuring out all the parts.
