The R-1 was developed under something called the RXR Project, so no it isn't part of the SRX as it was developed later. From what I can tell by glancing at the pic contributed by Wingnut, it is a new-model unit based on the R-1, but incorporating EOT and technology from the RPT-011 Huckebein MkIII. ...

Looking at the two of them together, the Fatum-01 has 10 thrusters, and the Fatum-00 has 8. So the Fatum-01 has more thrusters than the Fatum-00. But there's not actually much of a difference in size. The Fatum-00 is slightly larger, but it's not so much larger that it make a really significant diff...

Both have their advantages. The original Fatum-00 can very clearly accomodate the Justice standing on its back, and it has somewhat better ranged capabilities, being equipped with six machineguns in addition to its two beam cannons. The modified Fatum-01 is more compact, which means it presents less...

Gaunland's structural modification (ie, additional lunch catapults, etc). The Gaunland does not have additional catapults. In brief, here are the differences: Alexandria : Launch Catapult x4, 2-barrel main gun x 4, main gun x 2, 2-barrel secondary gun x 4, secondary gun x 4, Mobile Suit x12. Gaunla...

As far as Sci-Fi, Frank Herbert's Dune series is pretty decent, but I particularly recommend the prequel books: Not The Butlerian Jihad(that one's long, tedious, and all-round boring, IMHO) but House Atreides, House Harkonnen and House Corrino. Great books, I thought.[/i]

Dalong hosts models...these ain't models.
Put it this way: a 1/100-scale Gundam model is generally between eight and twelve inches tall, depending on the model.
a 1/400 scale is one-quarter of that, so it would be somewhere in the whereabouts of two or three inches tall.

If you can afford a next-gen console, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: CROSSFIRE for the PS3 is an absolute must-have. The backgrounds are amazingly rendered, if typically bland for the most part, the mech are exquisitely detailed, right down to the individual bullet holes. The camera is akward at first but easy...

If you thought those were amusing, wait'll you get a load of a LoliBot with a katana.

May I present Fairlion S w/ Shishioh Blade
And funnier yet: Royal HeartBreaker...but wait'll you see who the pilots of the Fairlions are

AFAIK, they can comfortably fit a couple of MS on their backs, but other than that don't have a dedicated hangar.
But toysdream/Mark-sama would know...he should show up and answer for certain pretty soon, methinks.

Okay, well, here you go. Just recently got the newest version of Photoshop, so I thought I'd test-drive it.
Hope you don't mind, I used the Calamity's colors, I like them the best.

The Oowashi Akatsuki's cannons might be useful if you could find a way to fit them properly and modify them to look closer to the D-I's, as they are very similar design-wise, and not much smaller.

I discovered TRANSFORMERS with Beast Wars, so I guess that makes me a TRANSFORMERS-noob. But anything involving Dinobot and Rattrap or Cheetor(up until he went T2...then he was just dumb-looking) was awesome, though my faves were Airazor and Tigatron. Then there's Inferno, who always calls Megatron ...
