^To add to that; Some people also only add panel lines to make it look like there are separated metal plates. That already adds loads to the details that are already in the MG models. Panel lining isn't an easy task though..

Also, stop posting PG RX versions basques. Else I can't stop the urge to buy a PG RX model myself, LOL :rofl: That PG RX model looks really great! (Y)

That PG RX looks awesome. Now when PG Strike Freedom comes out.. I MAY have to get it. I think I might go out today or tomorrow pick up a 1/144 since I have a couple weeks off till school Starts. I'll document everything! Is there a 1/144 that is a must have? Except the RG Rx-78-2.

Somehow got my uncle to get me PG RX-78 and Zeta when they are released.

Now after all these years, i think they are too big and take up space.

(I insist on keeping the boxes :p)

So I wouldn't think of getting another 1/60 kit.

I prefer SDs and HG 1/144 kits now.

A large portion of my collection are SD Mushas as I started from collecting SDs.

Well, the only 1/144 model that I HAD to have was the Saviour Gundam. I just love the look of it and it's impossible to get a 1/100 MG version of it as far as I know.

well there is the 1/100 HG version lol. I was thinking of picking up something old, but Iconic.

^True, though I wasn't able to get it in the Netherlands. Plus it would inconsistent with the rest of my MG models :p

@iron2000: I also always keep the boxes of all of my Gunpla's, even of all of my figurines for that matter.

Actually it's not bad.. The HG models are still on the scale of the 1/100MG's.. you just have to put some detail into them. Take my Exia for an example, I bought the HG version thinking the MG wouldn't come out.. when it did, it was approx. the same build. I mean just look at this..it's still bad ass.

soo.. any more suggestions for the 1/144?

$1k for a model? and i thought my DYRL transformable valkyrie was expensive at $300 cdn! XD

i have a rx78 PG, a zaku 2 pg that i messed up on so i keep it in the box 1 a 1/60 NG strike and a 1/100 MG reGZ right now. i really prefer to build the PG kits, and want to get a gundam mk2 PG as it's one of my favourite mobile suits.

i started building gunpla when i was fresh out of highschool like 10 years ago and the gundam wing gunplas were in toys r us. they weren't all that great, but with in a couple years they were releasing kits from different UC time line series, such as 08th ms team, with much higher quality and the whole inner frame thing.

unfortunately i've run out of display space in my room, and the nearest shop that sells kits with a limited selection that i have to actually get there first to see what they have because their website is severely out of date, is a 4 hour drive just to the city, and then more driving once there. the online sites i've found that sell them are japanese and they're more expensive before shipping from there than they are in the stores here.

my favourite mobile suits are all from the UC shows, except unicorn and ZZ which i think look terrible or silly. the exception is wing zero from teh show, not endless waltz, which is an awesome looking gundam imho. too bad the PG is the endless waltz version unfortunately. as far as shows go 0079 is still my favourite followed by zeta, and the seed series i think are the worst in every way, although i couldn't get past the first few episodes due to the silly story telling and awful japanese and english dub voice actors.

what i would give for a remake of 0079 with the original english voice actors! they still do work on gundam games released in NA btw :D

here is a gundam review site i found http://gunpla-inochi.com/ although it seems he's put gunpla on hold to spam kamen rider figurines instead, which i don't like the look of. still lots of great gunplay reviews.

^I hate dubs :p I rather have the original Japanese voices in my anime.

@Razorwing: I've got all the 3rd gen 00 Gundam Meister suits. Exia is one of them and although they look decent, they still look out of place among MG models IMO :p

^I hate dubs :p I rather have the original Japanese voices in my anime.

if a dub sucks yeah i'll go with subtitles, and that's usually the case, but some dubs are actually worth watching, and i find them more enjoyable to watch because instead of reading the subs i am looking at the action.

0079 is a good dub, and so is evangelion. i watched eva with subs the second time around and the last two episodes in particular weren't as enjoyable. though most people don't like eva's ending. zeta had a good dub as well.

on the other hand, macross plus for example was terrible in english dub, and so seed was far worse in english than japanese.

I guess it's just the style.. unless you got MG Exia.. I think it's quite the same. Btw, I JUST saw the 1st Episode for Unicorn :D. I think I know what I'm getting tomorrow! :laugh:

I guess I have to go for the 144 one as I don't have money for the MG.

I just started watching unicorn, but for now, i'm in love with Mobile G series. :)

Didn't they make a life sized gundam in japan not long ago? :D

Yes they did. odaiba_gundam44.jpg

makes me REALLY want the RG RX-78 now.

For you pleasure Capric0rn :shifty: , here are some more pics:

Also that macross Valkyrie was one of the most enjoyable models I ever built. The same size as a MG gundam, but incredible details, lots of panelling options and fully transformable. As I am a huge fan of the original macross, I was ecstatic while building this one:

I can't recommend the valkyrie highly enough. Go get it :shiftyninja:

This is the box/price I guess

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10100763

I got all my gundams from Tokyo, so can't really compare the prices.

^....I hate you :rofl: Those are looking damn nice! :D That EVA 01 model also looks pretty great. I only have a Revoltech EVA 02 model at the moment unfortunately.

@Razorwing: That photo of the 1/100 is why I love my MG 1/100 RX-78 so much :D I wish I had bought MG Exia instead of HG Exia. It's not THAT noticeable. But it's lacking some typical stuff like stickers and all that. The boxes that came with the 1/100 HG looked great though! Got the one from Virtue framed which is now hanging on a wall :)

Gundam Unicorn is pretty great with the mix of classic anime looks and new anime technology. They're even using those classic ambient sounds like explosions etc :D Like a proper UC anime series should be. It's unfortunate that the release schedule is so stupid. We get to see 2 episodes each year which leaves us with 1 left for this year and 4 for the next 2 years. Oh well, we've still got that Gundam 00 movie as well :D

@treemonster: Dubs just feel un-natural to me imo. It's just personal preference though :p I just rather watch my anime in Japanese because I just love the language :)

That is no 1/100. That is 1:1. :laugh: Yeah I wish I didn't buy HG Exia. The MG version has light up AND the MG REPAIR.. OMG.. GN CLOTH! :laugh: .. oh well . At least move on.. lol. Well for Unicorn I guess each episode MUST be really good. :D It's probably worth the wait. Any idea when the 00 Movie is coming out? I've only seen teasers..

SO.. I"ll ask again.. any other suggestions for my 1st 1/144?

@Razorwing: I see I managed to screw my post up, lol. While typing I even thought about "Lets get these measurements right. Type 1/1 and 1/100" but of course I HAD to screw it up XD

The 00 movie is going to be in theaters this coming September. That is if they haven't changed the schedule.

No idea what other 1/144 model you should get. I haven't really been looking at 1/144 models for a long time.

maybe I should just get the RX-78.. that's if I can find it. I didn't have time today (was doing a Saw Marathon :D) but I should be able tomorrow.

anyone here play dynasty warriors gundam 1 or 2?

i had about 100 hours in each, which mean most characters in teh first one maxed out and amuro with full parts, and in teh second one the story missions done and one character about 50 missions done in non story (?) mode.

tbh while 2 was an improvement in graphics and game play for the most part, some of my favourite suits from the first one were gimped, i ddin't like how the suit customization was done, or the powers were done, the fact eh soldier suits were so gimp bu there were mission to take out mobile armours with them or grind 500 mobs, or how ridiculoisly har dsome of th emissions were or the hard dificulty was.

both were pretty fun overall though, and gave me multiple nerdgasms being able to fly my favourite mobile suits. and for the story mode they uised the original english dub voice actors for amuro and char, which was quite a treat.

  • 4 months later...

wow haven't posted here forever! Yes I have played DW Gundam 1 and 2. It belonged to my friends.

Some of the new customs are freaking amazing!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates by Taras Buria Windows 10 reached its end of life at the end of 2025. Microsoft kicked off the Extended Security Updates program, aimed at giving regular consumers one more year of security-only updates. By doing so, Microsoft gave users more time and money to update their computers to a newer operating system or compatible hardware. Now, with the end of the Extended Security Updates program quickly approaching, Microsoft is making an important adjustment. Users discovered that the official support article for the program now lists a new end-of-support date: The Extended Security Updates program is not a new concept. It has been an official way for business consumers to continue receiving critical updates for unsupported Microsoft products for many years. However, all this time, it was a business-only, paid feature. With Windows 10, Microsoft brought ESU to regular consumers, allowing them to get security updates for Windows 10 past October 2025 essentially for free. When Windows 10 was approaching the end of support, many guessed that Microsoft might adjust its support timelines, and this is exactly what seems to be happening. Of course, Microsoft would love everyone to switch to new computers, such as its latest Surface devices, but in the days of ever-growing hardware prices, not everyone is lucky enough to have money for a new PC. Leaving hundreds of millions of customers with a Windows version that no longer receives security updates is a major risk that Microsoft is not willing to take. If you have a Windows 10 PC to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, check out this guide to learn how to do so.
    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sony today announced that major layoffs are happening at its first-party studio Bungie, the developer that has spawned series like Halo, Destiny, and Marathon over the past decades. The news arrives just weeks after Bungie delivered the final update to Destiny 2, and it's that team being hit with the layoffs the most. CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Hermen Hulst revealed the staff reduction today, calling it "painful news." "Over the past several months, together with Bungie leadership, we reviewed the studio’s long-term direction, development priorities, resource needs, and role within our broader portfolio strategy," said Hulst, explaining the decision. "We explored multiple alternatives before concluding that a reduction was necessary to align the studio’s resources with its current priorities and long-term goals." The layoffs will be hitting "a significant number of employees" across most of the Destiny franchise development team. It doesn't look like Sony is planning to continue the series following Destiny 2's sunsetting update. The studio is said to be in early stages of looking at other projects to pivot to, but it's said that keeping the size of the team at current levels is no longer feasible. "We know this decision has a profound impact on the people affected, their families, friends, and teammates," said Bungie leadership in a separate message on social media. "While these changes are necessary to best position the studio now and for the future, that does not lessen the difficulty of this moment or the impact it has on those affected." At the same time, "some" of the Marathon development team are also affected by the layoffs. The recently released multiplayer-only extraction shooter title hasn't seen a big boom of players either, but the company is reportedly hoping that the live service experience will pick up players with future updates.
    • Microsoft adds reusable skills and finance data connectors to Copilot in Excel by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is giving Copilot in Excel a collection of new features aimed squarely at finance teams. The update introduces reusable instructions for common tasks, connections to services such as FactSet and Morningstar, and a better way to review what Copilot intends to do before it starts changing a workbook. The most interesting addition is 'Skills' finally coming to Copilot in Excel. Skills let companies teach Copilot how to handle a recurring process, so employees do not need to write the same detailed prompt every month. Users can create skills that can specify the steps Copilot should follow, along with the required layout, formulas, and formatting. Microsoft says users can create their own skills by saving a SKILL.md file in OneDrive. The file is written using Markdown and tells Copilot when and how to perform the task. Once it is available, a user can select the skill in the Copilot pane or mention it in a prompt using the @ symbol. There is also a library of prebuilt finance skills for customers who do not want to create their own. Microsoft plans to let developers distribute additional skills through the Microsoft Marketplace and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, with LSEG, Ramp, Rogo, samaya.ai, Velixo, and Vena among the first partners involved. The company says that it is also expanding the external data that Copilot can access from inside Excel. New connectors are being added for CB Insights, Daloopa, FactSet, Morningstar, PitchBook, and S&P Global data through technology developed by Kensho. There is a catch, however. Accessing these services may require a separate subscription from the relevant data provider, so a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence will not necessarily unlock all of them. FactSet is also only available in preview for now, with general availability planned for July. Microsoft is also trying to make Copilot’s workbook edits easier to inspect. Users can switch to a planning mode that shows which sheets, cell ranges, formulas, and assumptions Copilot intends to work with before it begins making changes. Once the work is complete, the Show Changes pane can distinguish edits made by Copilot from those made by human collaborators. The update continues Microsoft’s push to turn Excel Copilot from a chatbot into an agent that can carry out longer tasks. The company previously added an Agent Mode capable of planning and completing multi-step Excel work. Microsoft also recently acquired financial AI startup Fintool, another indication that finance is becoming a key target for its Excel AI strategy. Prebuilt skills, personalization, workbook rules, external connectors, planning mode, and Copilot attribution in Show Changes are generally available to Microsoft 365 Copilot customers using Excel on the web, Windows, and macOS. Custom skills are initially available to Microsoft 365 Insiders on Windows and Mac starting today. Microsoft plans to make them generally available across Windows, Mac, and the web over the next month. Partner-built skills are expected during the third quarter of the year. Availability may still differ depending on region and licensing.
