Restartt's Index/Summary

This Blogger site works pretty well and lets me have all sorts of images hosted for free, but I do realize as a reader it's a bit hard to navigate to if you're not just reading the latest post.

Hence, here's a one stop shop to see what I've worked on, what my backlog looks like, and what I'm looking to maybe acquire.  I'll edit this as I go to keep it up to date.  If you do bookmark a page besides the "latest" page, bookmark this.

Want, but haven't ordered yet:
(MG) GM Dominance (Philip Hughes Custom)
- This is absolutely the top of my want list by a mile, but its over $100.  Still, it looks SO perfect...... I keep hovering over the buy button and backing off.  I will own this someday, its 'when do I want to pony up the money?'.
(HG) Gundam Astaroth Origin
- Haven't seen IBO, it just stuck out to me as "that looks cool"
(HG) RGM-79gs GM command Space Use
- nice classic red scheme in a good looking GM
(HG)  Slave Wraith (Parachute pack)
- Just a solid kit, doesn't look to be expected to be too expensive. Different colors and a parachute pack!
(HG) GM Guard Custom (e-2 beam spray)
-A pbandai of the guard gustom I already own, but the previews look so much better!
(HG) Powered GM Cardigan
- I really like the powered GM I got from stardust.  I haven't see Build Fighters yet, but this is an even beefier version with more weapons and in a yellow that doesn't appear in a lot of GMs.

(?) I also want a GM sniper, but I'm really torn.  My perfect kit would be a 1/144 79G sniper with external power pack, but they dont make that.  The do have it in MG.  They also have a lot of cool 79SC in both grades, like the MG tennez A Jung.  Theres also the HG missile launcher version thats pbandai.  I can't quite decide and have so many other kits right now, theres no use grabbing one until I am sure on what I want.

HG RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type

Image
My gateway gundam was 08th MS Team, so as you can imagine I've been waiting to do this kit.  The GM ground type, a classic, in wonderful colors. I just love the orange bandai uses on some of these kits (I also really wanted to get the test Bugu over the normal Bugu, but its over double the price and it's just a color change, so I can paint it if I want). The GM ground type gets most of its fame from 08th MS Team, but was also in igloo2, a few different series of the varios mangas, and several of the games.  In the Universal Century, it was developed using early project V data, being first deployed almost a full month before the incident at side 7 (august 79).  While the RX-79G gundam ground type was developed using the same early data, it also used spare project V parts, setting them apart as "GUNDAM" units and also making them nearly impossible to mass produce.  Since this GM was developed from the same data, just with an equivalent design meant to pave the way ...

Finishing the HG GM Guard Custom

Image
Strap in, ladies and gents, because we're about to finish the Guard Custom (which in my head I keep calling the Shield custom, for reasons that are about to become obvious) from just the torso.  If you recall, I started the guard custom when I went to a local meetup for the first time in the city I moved to, which you can read about HERE . I got through the torso and didn't take a lot of pics because I was having fun enjoying the moment with my fellow builders. But now, on to the rest of this kit! One thing to note is theres a lot of flat wide surfaces, and some had slight areas that needed to be sanded down with some faint lines running across them. So even if you didn't touch it and there was no nub, inspect every piece and every surface! This time I'm just doing a straight build, with 1.Cut far end of all the gates of a piece to release it 2.Cut close to but not perfectly flush to remove gates 3.Knife work to get a flat nubless surface, erring on the sid...

HG RGM-79 Powered GM

Image
Do you enjoy the new standard for mobile suits, but just wish it would jump higher and run faster? Have I got a deal for you. The RGM-79 Powered GM is a test mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Which happens in the Universal Century timeline in 0083, surprise suprise. It's a RGM-79C GM Type C that had test parts added on to it, including a powerful backpack reactor and extra powerful thrusters. In fact, it proved to be such an improvement in mobility that they had to add special shock absorbers to prevent it from breaking its own legs when landing from tall jumps. At least 2 were made, and Dick Allen showed this suit could out maneuver and beat down a MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 without reaching its limits. Though only intended as test suits, they saw combat trying to retrieve something the Delaz Fleet has stolen in an attack on the base. Apparently there's one in Build fighters too. I can't speak to it, as I haven't seen that yet (I'm w...
