Here we go again! Back in the day I was able to find this Set for a very cheap price so it was an instant grab. It has Char's Z'Gok which a model I really like a lot. Sea-operation MS are my favourites specially Zeon's someway they remind me Cyclops and the myth of Polifemo from Odissea :)

ジオン水泳部set!

Rai-san, You got a good buy.
If I remember correctly, It should have a nice manual attached.
(Btw, What "Italian pose"?)


Speaking of "exclusive use of Char", There used to be such a video.

Italians have a unique way to communicate with their hands, here is a brief summary:

Onai-san, Arigato- :-)
"Italian pose", I learnt something new today.
When looking at the gunpla made by the Italians, I will focus on the hand shape. :-D
(Such an explanation is very interesting because Japanese people are not good at body or hand gestures)


What is this Gogg trying to tell?

Onai "Oni" Tekimata

I guess it is the "forget about it" pose.

Starblaze, lift the mystery, what is the Gogg trying to tell us?

It is 1/144, typical HGUC.

It is a mix between "What the Fuck" and "I don't care" poses.

Ok! This is the last Gunpla I completed, I bought it in Seoul when I was away for a business trip!


Bonus: GM!

Interisting choice.
The Mobile Worker is in many ways comparable to what is described in Batttletech as Industrial Mechs or Agromechs (Example: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Buster)

Although they need to fill the evolutionary gap between the "modern" Mobile Suits ,that we all know and love, and their origins, I do not like that particular design.

Speaking of evolution: I realy like the old school GM. The design is crude and rough and the model reflects this early stages of Mobile Suit technology. The model is very flexible and posable and makes a good sparing partner for any ZAKU  3:)

Starblaze, you should try inking it highlights the details of the models ver nice and is easy to apply. Try it, I can give you advise on it, and if you don't like it it is removable.

I tried, I even bought BANDAI pens to do it, but, in the end, I didn't really like the effect. I still prefer them clean as possible.

I had the experience with the pens too. I tried inking with a thin brush and regular painting ink from a small glas pot and then thinned with water to a solution of 1/3 ink to water.

When I (finaly) come and visit you, we will make a small workshop  :mrgreen:

About スミ入れ (Sumi-ire: lining black?)
It may be better to prepare two types of Gundam-malker(BANDAI pens), black and gray.
Using a black-malker for the part you want to emphasize(Only Line around chin portion of the Gundam's face) and a gray-malker for the other parts(Other line of  face parts)
I prefer gray-malker because It is over-emphasized when using a black-malker as a whole.

These are different from gunpla... but are cool Box arts!
(These are also plastic models made with the same technology as Gunpla)




I hear that Glendizer is broadcast in France and is very popular, but was these broadcast in Germany?
