A real looking model of a GN Drive would indeed be awesome :p A real working GN Drive wouldn't be possible though, as we'd need to go to Jupiter to be able to make a real one. Otherwise it would be a pseudo-solar reactor like the ones from the Thrones, etc :p [/nerd]

Though a 1/60 model of it wouldn't be too bad. Even with the rotating flywheel and a green light coming off of it would be awesome. Though I wouldn't want to hear the same sound coming off of it as 00 Gundam 1/60's GN Drive

After seeing that Gundam 00 Qan[T] face, it made me realize that the MG 1/100 version doesn't have the black parts on his mask. Kind of a bummer tbh as it looks pretty awesome.

So, do you have any suits in mind to get in the near future?

Yeah I meant ' a real looking model' :p Actually speaking of the black parts of the mask for the 00 Qan[T] that's what I did with my Exia. Makes it look more bad ass. I did it according to this picture

*couldn't find the original.. but heh.

I"m going to get either a MG Strike Freedom or the Death Hellscythe Hell Custom or the 00 Raiser. When it releases.

MOD :) :laugh: You know I meant Deathscythe Hell EW :p. Will take pics tomorrow when I get up.

I sure as hell did :p That modification you did to Exia's head looks pretty great. Might have to do something similar to my 00 Qan[T] :p

Hey Basques sweet Mobile Suits! But can you do us a favour and just rotate the horiztonal ones? I don't like tilting my neck 90 degrees >.< LOL.

Yeah I just realized that ImageShack somehow changed the rotation of my uploaded images, I rotated them back now.

@basques: Those are some sweet models! Really liking that PG MK and the PG 00 Raiser. Seeing it makes me feel how badly I have to mod my 00 Qan[T] to have those black part on his mask, the way he has it originally. Those Macros models are also looking pretty good. Must've been fun building those.

You should've posed the RX-93-?-2 Hi-? with it's funnels :p

@Razorwing: Can't wait to see the actual MG 1/100 of Epyon in some good quality photos.

Also, nice photoshopped image of a beaten RX-78-2 :p

If you get a chance, get the macross ones, both of them are basically the same except the color schema. But its extremely detailed, and amazingly accurate while transforming. Basically you can transform it into all three modes perfectly. Loved it (that's why I got the second one too). And you can do some amazing panelling with it because the lines are very well defined.

I had the RX-93-v-2 hi-v with the shields up for a while, but then thought it looks much much cooler when they are deployed on his back like wings. That's one of the best MG models I had, detail wise (I usually only build PG's).

Now I pretty much run out of PG's to build. I will buy the PG GP01/Fb next, it looks awesome. And then the new Strike Freedom. After that I might start building custom ones, if not I need to wait for a new PG :cry:

^Might get a Macross one though I don't have any room for any new model, LOL. They do look awesome to build though.

I've got my RX-93-?-2 Hi-V setup with his wings as well and never actually had it posed with the funnels. It just looks loads better with the wings, like you said.

I only buy MG 1/100 models as there's a wide range of them and they're fun to build. I might get a 1/60 one day but I'd rather do that when I'm able to devote more time to it :p

Trust me, when you PG, you can't go MG :)

For me it's not purely the outlook of the figures, so if you build MG or HG, its pretty much sticking parts together and make it look like a mobile suit from the outside. When you build a good PG, its all about inner mechanical beauty. Some models are purely engineering miracle. The way the parts fit, and move while moving the arms and legs is genius. So you actually end up believing that they might work out in real life too (ok a little bit exaggerated).

^Haha, I'm already hooked onto MG so I probably go back to MG after building one PG :p There's loads of MG models which I still want to buy so I won't break away from that.

Though I do like to be building a PG as I'm sure I'm going to love the thrill of building one. I already get a nice thrill of building MG's, lol. I even went "Wow!" literally while building a few :p

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
