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

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • 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.
