Flip a coin, and whichever story loses, put it on hiatus. Jot down all the ideas you have for it now, while they're still fresh, and then come back to the story and decide if you want to continue it; it may be beneficial to keep one story on the backburner while you focus on one, so you can switch g...

I breezed through an episode of 00 yesterday on my DVR and realized how common and annoying it is that we have these insane or whacked-out people sitting in cockpits or going into the military. What the hell is up with this? Is this a staple, or just a easy way out of making cannon fodder you love ...

It really depends on the individual deals you're getting. For me, the closest places that sell Gundam kits (that I know of) are about 70 miles away; so unless I'm making a special trip to Ann Arbor, it's ultimately much better for me to just order them through a site. However, some of these physical...

HG Zabanya released today(yeah it's not 28 as shown in Bandai Hobbysite T_T) . Hey they give us the missile pod(Not all though)! But to display the holster bit in shield bit style, you need the stand from HG Cherudim... :( Good thing I've got the Cherudim, then. I'm a little disappointed that eight...

A green Sharpie will give you the translucent color you're after. I keep a set of Sharpies around for painting clear parts, like the condensors and beams on some of the 00 kits. The only thing you need to watch out for, besides accidentally smudging it before it's dry, is that the marker can streak ...

Bumping my request, and altering it a little.

Here is the official lineart for the X3.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Sorry that I didn't think of it. And didn't 00 have some kind of beam shield thingy that sprouted out of the GN drives on its shoulder binders? Maybe now with an even bigger shield the GN field will be that much stronger. Emission of particles from GN Drives seem to be...

Anyway, half the problem I see with... fiction on the internet, is that writers do not allow or respond poorly to negative reviewing. The problem with just blind praise is that you never know if your doing anything wrong, reviews that highlight the flaws of your work are only to be used a tool to i...

My villains are an enigma, a mystery. Nobody knows how Megiddo was formed or why they're trying to kill all of humanity through various eras of history. Nor does anybody in my story know what they look like. This is not about Suddam Hussein. It's only about the Gundams trying to restore each era th...

No they're fighting the Megiddo Demonic Empire. The Gundam pilots are only captured BY Suddam Hussein. Suddam probably figures the Gundams will give Iraq the victory against the United States. So Ira doesn't care if the entire country is literally vaporized clean off the map. They just want to chas...

Yeah but I took the name from a Christian novel I'm reading. Does anyone know what the GN in GN Drive means? The whole name conjures up images of massive battle, and mecha fans tend to be gung-ho about that sort of thing. But there's really no set formula for "cool"--either it happens, or...

Today, I was able to purchase Kotobukiya's MSG weapons sets 8. 9. and 10 from a comic book store in Ann Arbor. Best part of all? The suckers are 400 yen, but marked at $.99 a piece.

From what I've read on quantum physics, teleportation and telepathy are both kinda-sorta-maybe possible. Information can be transferred from one particle to another, and particles can occupy multiple points in space simultaneously (sort of--light's a wave and a particle at the same time because the ...

So....do we have a technical explanation for the green blade that showed up on the GN Sword 3, and is now present on Quan[t]'s armarments? It's made of the same material that comprises the GN condensers. The stuff apparently channels a lot of heat for cutting; while they were testing the 00's Seven...

Feelgood was once again enraged. He killed the henchman that told him the bad news and went on a temper tantrum in his 'throne room'. Knocking stuff down, beating his henchmen, and kicking down his golden throne with angels on it. He walked over to a mirror with crack-cocaine on it, and snorted a c...

Now to pleasantly change the subject to something that caught my eye... Do you think Bandai would pay for us to mail them unused runners for them to melt for recycled model kits??? you have to admit its a good marketing plan I would say maybe 3 yen per runner something like that? 3 yen? At that rat...

Oh, and is it just me, or does it seem like they're trying to make The-O a 1/100 PG? With its massiveness you'd think they'd try to conserve plastic, but they're really going all-out. For 12000 yen, they'd better be going all-out. It's not like The-O has much in the way of gimmicks, besides the sub...

So we've got the original Exia, Trans-Am, gloss Trans-Am, R2, Astraea F, Avalanche, and Astraea. Bandai's getting a lot of mileage out of that mold. And I'm looking forward to the Full Armor RX-78. It's cheaper than the V-Dash,, probably has about the same amount of plastic, and it's green . I don't...

You know, Bandai does release weapon sets, and for 1/144 as well. It's called B-CLUB. Let me rephrase, then: When is Bandai going to release weapon sets that aren't ludicrously expensive resin kits? It's, what, 1500-2000 yen just for a set of 1/144 hands ? Granted, B-CLUB stuff does look good, and ...

No, let's stay on the arsenal for a while. You're getting parts not available on the conversion kit that should be available, a pair of Dynames pistols without having to shell out for the really expenisve GN Arms D and one of Kyrios' missile pods for the first time ever and it's all justifiable in-...
