Gundam Discussion - Twilight Axis

**Edelweiss** · 2013-11-12 08:20

HobbyFan's got some restocks of some resin stuff in, namely http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info...oducts_id=9274, the EFF MS trailer circa 0079-0083.

There's also this, from this year's C3 Hobby show: http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info...ducts_id=16400. Probably gonna be awhile (loool...) to say the least before we get a MG Dreissen; afterall we've got a assload of Geara Zulus and Jegans to plow through first.

Not that I can actually do anything with my Stein now that the weather has turned cold and awful here.. but still

Welp that explains why I haven't received the order placed 3 months ago.

My fucking Zeta 2.0's arm is broken.

I'm assuming it's the small arch above the polycap hole?

It's the pegged half of the shoulder joint essentially, of the right arm. The topmost part of the arm that isn't the blue shoulder piece, and generally the first thing you start on when following instructions to make an arm. The peg got snapped when trying to position stuff

Seems like you could (depending on if it was snapped where I think it is) repair and give it strength with the drilling of two 1 mm. holes and inserting cut lengths of paperclip wire in, with superglue.

Also, since the parts services of GG and Gentei are out for the foreseeable future, I suppose /toy/'s Gunpla general, or maybe try Tatsu Hobby (http://tatsuhobby.com/webstore/index...age=contact_us) to see if they could tap either their distributor for the part directly from Bandai, or otherwise.

Yeah, now that I know there doesn't seem to be a reliable replacement service around, I'm going to pursue alternative options.

Not sure why all of these parts replacement services are suddenly suspending service; Gentei and now GG. lol

What part(s) of your Sinanju Stein are you missing/are damaged beyond repair?

F3 snapped in half when I was sanding it. Since both halves have holes to attach, I know I could still attach it (and have it on the inside of the leg so it wouldn't be noticeable) but it'd irritate the fuck out of me..

TBH, if you had plastic cement (the type that melts plastic along the immediate surface it's applied to; e.g. Tamiya), I don't really see why you couldn't let it sit for a couple days and then sand it (carefully this time). OCD aside of course. lol

I guess it's OCD vs. probably looking at 8-9 bucks or so to replace the part (if Tatsu Hobby can secure it).

How many episodes is Build fighters supposed to be?

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-11-13 23:33

25 but it may have a 2nd season, you never know

**Edelweiss** · 2013-11-14 10:08

Count on it - it's doing really well all around (especially considering how dismal AGE did by comparison).

At this point it's probably more a question of how far down the rabbit hole they'll be going with the concept; not sure if it's something that lends itself to sequels and the like, although any sequel would be a couple years away in all probability due to the queue of animation projects in the pipeline.

**Edelweiss** · 2013-11-14 15:43

Spoiler: show

So, this is a much better pic of the prototype MG Gundam X's Satellite Cannon recievers.

I guess there's going to be HGUC Crossbones too in a couple months.

Looking at the instructions for the Strike Freedom RG makes me believe that having it stand on its own will be immpossible without a action base. Pretty much on par with the other seed suites that have heavy backbacks made heavier when they are made of more parts. I never got my Aile Strike to stand on its own without support and the Freedom can only stand on its own in full burst mode.

**Serra** · 2013-11-19 08:03

I remember the MG Strike Freedom had problems, even on the base that came with it. Always thought it was going to tip backwards till I got an action base..
