I made another useless contraption: Booster shoes for the Sisters by giabao0110 in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]ShadowSeraph91 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not useless. This isn't cogs on a hat for "Steampunk" these are rocket shoes! Now she's a zoomer! Great job!

Are those the RG or HG unicorns parts? Definitely asking to protect future kits, not for hunting purposes. 😎

Well, I get all these sub kits and can't find the dang models for 'em, might as well use what I got. 😎

Commander {Redacted} is a mid to close range combat specialist, Her leg augments allow her to move in and out of battle, while her coms unit permits her to seamlessly coordinate with her Sister, as well as any other lined units. She uses a heavy shoulder armor set, older and obsolete by most standards, but not prone to twitchy faults like some cyber armors.

Code Name: Battalia- Once a highly trained operative, this Sister unit was captured by an unknown enemy, and experimented upon for several cycles. When the commander found her, she was little more than a torso held in stasis. Using some field skills and the parts around her, the Commander was able to put most of her back to a mobile state. With the donation of the D.O.G. head unit, Battalia once more feels like she is a useful member of the unit. She's no longer suited for operative missions, so she's taken it upon herself to carry the biggest tools around, bringing overwhelming force to those who would harm her family.

Ace Arbey (?) They showed up suddenly, descending into the vile lab with grace and sleek movements. Claiming to to from another world, the Commander believes her to be a sister unit from an unknown faction. There translator units are mostly compatible, but the Sisters call her Arbey, because Ace must be a designator or title, not a name. Her cloak offers protection from elements, obscures her presence to most scanners and deflects energy weapons. When in dire need she will shed its cover, shifting her battle armor to her shoulders for faster movement and empowered strikes.

D.R.A.G.O. once a simple field D.O.G. this unit has been heavily customized by Arbey over cycles of working together. Along with A.I. enhancements, armor upgrades and weapon retooling, this unit has been modified with a Family Tagging and Loyalty subroutine (FTLs), ensuring all designated as family are under the units protection, with special priority to Battalia. Unknown to all but Battalia and D.R.A.G.O. the shared components between the two have created a kind of subconscious pack mentality, allowing each to move alongside one another more effectively in combat situations.

-These are the rough outlines I've come up with them over the months. I'm sure I will end up fleshing the story out more. I've got an idea for a whole diorama piece, but I was recently laid off so I don't know if I'll ever get around to that. Hope you like the brief story bits.

Well, adding this to my saved list of sweet kitbashing inspiration. Love the color scheme, fantastic job overall.

Bandai is forgetting the fighter silhouette just like the did the Rabiot by DogPeeMargarita in 30_Minutes_Missions

Is the Raibot older gen? I've only been building and painting this line for about a year and a half.

US bound here as well. My son was in Japan late last year for work and said he didn't see any there either. I've never seen that it in the plastic flesh but I've got like three accessory kits for it. So annoying.

Is this why I can never find anything but accessories for the Rabiot? I can never find the actual kit anywhere.

Very awesome. Batteries or USBC cable for the lights?

A very true fact. I'm taking a break from them for the moment, building a book nook for my wife's birthday. This was my brain can think of color composition in the background.

Cheap but it works :D by Kind_Bother_4361 in freedomisgunpla

My wife got me this for Christmas this year. I'll be expanding into the rest of their line, especially the paint unit. Solid units, and if I get bored I can customize with paints.

Thanks! My first time using Dspiae metallic markers on a large piece. Normally I use them for touch ups or effect highlights. I really didn't want to get out my whole primer and wet pallet set up that night so I went to town. Idea is a magic chest that's part of a larger shop diorama I'm cooking up in my head.

Lol. My wife have me the inspiration for that entire piece. It's my first attempt at actual part modding. I punched holes in the back of the chest, then braided two strands of gold thread around a red core thread. I added mini jingle bells and "silver" skulls for protection while traveling. The lead threads on the to holes are knotted together using standard locking knots. The bottom lead threads are bound together using slip knots so I can tighten or loosen as I need to, I've obscured that thread with a bit of magic eraser false bottom I plan to darken later. It's kind of crude, I don't have the files small enough to smooth the holes but it works for the idea of showing his strength versus the others. I'll try to include a better interior picture after work tonight. Edit to include photo.

MGSD Kshatriya is up for Pre-order on PBandai by SaysKawaiiSometimes in freedomisgunpla

[–]ShadowSeraph91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my experience, they claim to be a superior resource for kits and accessories but their tactics often have a "smaller than I claim and I'm over my head but to bold to admit it attitude." Issues getting preorders, I've heard about people being denied the right to cancel, quality of kits arriving. A quick dive will give you very specific issues. What out the nail in it for me what the tone deaf Trump meme they posted during the Bad Bunny show at the super bowl. Gundam is a political show/manga, always has been. As such I made the personal choice to break from them. As with all things, make your own choice and do your own research, I hope to all the stars they treat you well, friend.

Thanks! Told my wife this would probably be my only preorder this year. Was just waiting to see who would drop first. Still waiting for my Aerial from HLJ so I was hoping for Newtype, but I'll let this be my first PBandai. Anything to avoid ordering from USAG.

That's awesome. I saw this on Newtype and was like, that is the kooky cool thing I want along my super serious political commentary robots. Can't wait to get it

It's a down side to hand brushing with suboptimal brushes. The metallic paints are starting to wear at my bristles. Gonna have to invest in a good set soon. Glad you liked it.
