Still working - off and on, when time and life allows - on the Concordia , my modified version of the Millennium . Got everything figured out except the launch catapults, which I'm still working on. Basically, I've upped the number of beam cannons and linear cannons by two each, added some extra CIW...

I read that in Kirk Thornton's voice in my head. Welcome back.

Frontier was my first and will always hold a special place in my heart as such. I definitely recommend checking out both versions - the series and the movies. I say "both versions" because the movies are sort of an AU-ish retelling of the same basic story, and both the movies and the full ...

Ah! Though I figured I did it first myself, as I introduced the Paladin Protection Force (PPF) in a couple of my Post-Destiny based Cosmic Chronicle Shorts. The most obvious is chapter six, in which PPF Fleet Commander Murrue chooses a new officer to command the newly refitted Archangel and (I thin...

Also, what is the ISAF? Your version of COMPASS? Pretty much, except I did it first :P. ISAF is a multinational peacekeeping task force that's created as part of the Second Treaty of Junius Seven in the epilogue of GSDA, composed of units from the PLANTs, Orb, the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian ...

And while I'm at it, why not take a crack at the Impulse too? Here's the AF-MSX156(ZGMF-X56S2) Impulse Spec-2 I kind of think the SF Type-II's arms work a little better on my Destiny, so I decided to try to see how the RF's arms would look on the Impulse, and it just sort of snowballed from there. O...

Oh, I see. Well, thanks a lot for clarifying that.

A thought just occurred to me that I admit I'm a little puzzled by, so I thought I might as well ask here, but... In the movie, we see that apparently Terminal/the Clyne Faction set up shop inside the remains of Boaz. But didn't the Alliance nuke Boaz only a few years earlier? I mean, I'm no expert,...

I honestly think, having now seen the movie, that my favorite single scene is the one where Athrun beats the ever-living crap out of Kira while simultaneously delivering what I can only describe as a sorely-needed "The Reason You Suck" speech. Except maybe the look on Hilda's face a short ...

Thanks. I recently experimented with redrawing the Rising Freedom's faceplate to get it look less awful , and decided to see how it looked on my Destiny Type-2 . I used the Strike Freedom Type-II's for the basic shape, then altered it using parts from the RF, and I rather like how it turned out, act...

Okay, so it still does it, but on such a small scale that it's not noticeable/does not have the environmental impact of a larger ship reactor.
Thanks for clarifying.

It seems a reasonable assumption that wrecked ships and their Ahab Reactors were present in there, yes - since MS Ahab Reactors would not have had that effect based on what Seto was saying.

It has been a long time since I built any Gunpla, but I've had an idea dancing around my head for a while that I finally had the time to put together this past week. This is the result. I call it the X-EX01RN Calibarn Rebuild. It's exactly that - a rebuilt/modified Calibarn with Aerial Rebuild parts...

I've not really been keeping up with the IBO stuff for a while. I might take a look-see. In the interim, since the new movie introduced a Destiny Spec 2 for Shinn, I recently got the idea to apply the same concept to my old reinterpretation of the Destiny from my rewrite - which was destroyed in its...

I think there might have been a few of them in one brief shot of one of the later battles in Destiny, but apart from that and video game cut scenes, then yeah.

I am really liking the Millennium . Probably the first new design in this movie that I can say I like in its entirety. I mean, there've been a couple of mech that had elements that I liked to their designs, but none of them that I can really say that I like the overall unit itself. Not so this ship ...

I'd imagine there would be a fair amount of commonality of internal parts among any of the designs that were introduced as part of the United Maintenance Plan , since IIRC that was the entire point - standardization of parts among the various different production lines to streamline production and r...

It's hard to tell because it's so blurry, but those look more like modified versions of SF and IJ to me.

Can I share it on a couple of Gundam forum threads I am part of? A few others were not much fans of the design either. Yeah, sure. And thanks for asking. Also I think it would be quite interesting for some mobile suit designs to share parts, especially as it looks like another similar arms limitati...

Very nice. I actually like your version better than the canon ones. Thank you. I admit, the GELGOOG Menace(I really hate that name) as originally designed was a good starting point, but the head was just too "Zaku" for my taste and I wasn't fond of the shoulders. Fortunately, it was an ea...
