Description RX-79 (G) Gundam
a.k.a. Ground Gundam
E.F.S.F. First Production Mobile Suit

One of my favorite Gundam designs from my favorite Gundam series: 8th MS Team

It,s beefy and cool, and that's one hell of a gun!
the kit was a more pleasant build than the Gouf Custom too.

You should check tamiya weathering master sets. You can hit it with a flat top coat before. My favorite is Mr. Hobby.Β

That's okay. I'm a little slow on the reply myself.

I've been working on the plans for a HGUC custom of the good old Gundam Ground type, so I've been browsing the internet for inspiration, regardless of grade.Β

I was dreaming of a model and colors just like this! Except it had dual rabbit-ear masts pointing out in place where the v-fin would be, with chest cannons on each side, and tile armor on the ankles. This ones awesome!

I'm not sure how to answer your question.

Are you familiar with gunpla?
Or are you already a modeller and want to know how to paint and weather your kits?

completely new to modeling never messed with it before, it looks like fun though...

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-15 21:24:31 +0000 UTC]

yes. it's lots'a fun!

I'd suggest you to buy a "High grade" model and some basic tools (an 'xacto knife, pliers, file and sanding paper) to start. HGUC line are very cool, relatively simple and so a very good place to start. You don't need to paint your first models too. They come molded in color.

but before you begin to actually build any models, anything that i'd say here will be very abstract.
after a couple of those, you'll want to paint your models too. i'll help you as much as i can then ^_^

whats HG? and 1/144?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-16 06:40:24 +0000 UTC]

HG is a line of Gumdam related models from Bandai. They are entry level models. Cheaper than Master grades. They mostly come in 1/144 scale. Most of them are 12-14 cm tall. Master grades are 1/100 and 20-25 cm or bigger.

HGUC means High Grade Universal Century. Models from the original gundam series and it's spinn-offs. They are the best of HG models in my opinion.

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-17 20:42:41 +0000 UTC]

i also think they should not have any feelings or emotions other than hunger.
since it's all about biochemistry and stuff, and them being undead...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ralkon In reply to HobbyV [2012-07-17 20:58:22 +0000 UTC]

should they be intelligent?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-17 21:40:39 +0000 UTC]

they are as intelligent as they were before they became vampires. and since they now work without humane distractions, they are more efficient. and vastly more experienced than any mortal with but a single lifespan to live. you should think on a reason for them to keep living tho. maybe only a few, strong willed individuals survive the first few decades. and even fewer can be considered sane. the rest will go catatonic for lack of motivation to do anything. and eventually die of thirst or go into a torpor state. or sleep.

but they probably have ghoul servants. created from their victims and have animal intelligence and maybe pack behaviour. they might hunt like hyenas or wolves. it's always good to take reference from nature

this turned into somewhat like white wolf's vampire the masquerade.

ralkon In reply to HobbyV [2012-07-17 21:44:14 +0000 UTC]

there reason to keep going? they use unknowing humans as sport they view humans as mere animals, the story that I'm writing is about the first Vampire Slayer, do you think that they should be faster and more coordinated then humans?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-17 21:58:42 +0000 UTC]

that's not a reason. that's a point of view.
maybe they are "righteous". they think that without their "wisdom", the humanity is lost.
humans are sheep, they are the sheepherds, and there are wolves out there...
the blood is just a small price that humans must pay.

that makes the first vampire slayer a rebel i guess.

their experience and training make them better fighters. they do not feel pain as other living creatures. they register it but it doesn't effect them. so they can push their limits a lot more than humans. maybe they heal faster too. also their vital organs are not as vital anymore so they can take a lot more damage. but their limits are human limits. if they fall from 28th floor, they'll probably die.

i don't see any reason for them being destroyed by sunlight tho. that's terrible, natural selection-wise.

ralkon In reply to HobbyV [2012-07-17 22:22:56 +0000 UTC]

what if they were the wolves in the scenario? or at least a portion of them? and i don't like the idea of sunlight destroying them either

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-17 23:01:37 +0000 UTC]

wolves always go well with vampires
but there can be other supernatural beings.

what you can do to make it different is make it more like sci-fi than fantasy.
build your characters on solid ground and anything can work

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-18 04:10:50 +0000 UTC]

that's getting old now.
they don't need to hunt. they "breed" them. and justify what they do by saying that humans are what they are because of their influence. just like we humans do for "lesser" creatures.

HobbyV In reply to ralkon [2012-07-18 06:44:22 +0000 UTC]

just mixing and matching the stuff from what i've seen and read.

in my head, i was combining "the brave new world" and George Orwell's "1984" with a vampire background :-p
the movie "equilibrium" is like that without the vampires. and some stuff added from "fahrenheit 451".
you can count "the Daybreakers" too. It was not a good movie but i did like the theme.

i think that genre still deserve a little bit more exploring.

like what if suddenly an awareness wakes in the internet? as mass media denies the existence of vampires, more and more people start to notice supernatural beings. thanks to smartphones and digital cameras and youtube etc. "Bigend Cycle" from William Gibson is a good read i think. No vampires there but a very good example of modern sci-fi. with apple computers and i-phones and e-mails and stuff. nothing too cyber-punk. "Pattern Recognition", "Spook Country" and "Zero History".
