Wow -- someone created conversion parts to make a 1/100 Leo using the MG Tallgeese:

If I recall, Leos were smaller than the Tallgeese, so it's too big, but that aside, amazing job.

The whole set runs more than the Tallgeese currently is on Amazon (down to $33):

Are you ready for some Mobile Fumina?

I knew it was only a matter of time surprised it's not a full PVC figure.

Pretty sure when he posted about this in the Gunpla threads on /m/ (you know, before they turned into a burning ball of garbage courtesy of that image spamming tard and some butthurt Muv-Luv fans) and /toy/, he was afraid of the really tight tolerances and having to essentially make a near-entire kit from scratch in order to properly scale it. Which is understandable, as he'd have to effectively downscale the MG Tallgeese's frame. Which probably adds even more to the cost of 3D printing these, etc.

Ultimately, despite being inaccurate due to scaling issues, it does look great. The real value and legacy of this shit though, will be the fact that it represented the next step for conversion kits/modellers making their own 3D-printed parts and (eventually) kits. I hope this guy gets encouragement to try and successfully downscale the frame to make a truly accurate Leo.

I haven't bought a RE/100 yet but I want to now



Already have the bootleg Xi Gundam and if they make an official one then mother fuckers

[Edelweiss]

oh my god

Standard Barzam: this needs to be the priority; it literally has no kits aside from ancient 1980s injection kits (and resin kits that got proportions wrong).
GM Sniper II: not sure why they don't just opt to use the MG Nemo frame (for obvious reasons).
Efreet Custom: they can milk at least four total variants out of this basic Efreet design (so there's a pretty strong incentive to make this happen at some point).
Jegan A: I'd be willing to bet they purposely chose the CCA version because it's outer armor isn't quite as close a match as the D, A2, etc. from Unicorn - those would presumably use the MG Jesta's Jegan-ized frame (if/when they're made).
Rig Contio (only kit is an old 1/144 B-Club resin kit).

Xi Gundam? Kshatriya? And Reborns Gundam? Leo? Well fuck. They might as well add the Penelope in, when they do the Xi Gundam.

That Gaia Gundam shit can die in a fire though, for real.

[Tyrath]

I've been waiting for Kshatriya!

[Edelweiss]

The MG V2 Gundam looks good, even with the rapid prototype parts.

[Mythe_Seraph]

I think I'm going to buy only RG kits exclusively from now on. They just shit on everything else in terms of immediate looks and overall quality.

[Tyrath]

Finally got one of those IKEA shelves

I really need to get working on that unfinished sinanju again D:

I hope you know these are just ideas and they're definitely not making ALL of them or even most of them. I think you do just making sure.

Personally I am not sure I want to see a RE/100 of Kshatriya or Reborns because I think both of those suits deserve MGs. I think RE/100 is absolutely perfect for Barzam, Rig Contio, Xi. Leo I still don't get why Bandai don't just do the Tallgeese mod, but whatever. I'm not as much of a Leo hype train guy (though I actually love some of the other Wing grunts and wish they'd get some attention. Aries and Virgo rock)

Also, in Gundam news, the BF/BFT OVA is in production

Of course. lol

Unfortunately they've pretty much already ruled out a MG Kshatriya due to the use of metal parts being, essentially, mandatory unless they compromise on the internal frames of the binders. Plus it'd be like 250 bucks. A MG Reborns should be quite feasible though, unless this is a cost:sales thing they're worried about (00 did good, just not Unicorn good.. but whatever lol).

First episode was alright. The not-zaku reveal was pretty good.

[Tyrath]

It was an okay starter. But 5 minutes in you knew exactly how that episode was gonna go lol Generic Gundam starting plot.
