It's the inferior design for alien fighting to the Gundam Eight look imo Love it or hate it, the Zirius went for the weird hedgehog thing and I rather like it when designs commit! (Also Eight had one of the most aura farm moments in chapter 1 and I was hooked from there) (alt txt for design descrip)

Looks like you have DMs disabled. Check settings: * On the left, find "chat" (either left bar or pull left menu on mobile) * In the top right on chat, click the settings wheel * Enable one of the two highlighted options

Similarly

For my Mafty suits side by side

From what little we got from the trailer, we have big connections already.

Yeah no it is big big. Bigger than the Xi and that's already a huge lad. I remember being stunned at the sheer scale when next to even the already chunky Virtue.

Baja Bull had the look of piss and the taste of horrible artificiality

He guards my food

RG time

I somehow have exactly 3 eggs too

The final product is looking good, but it makes my hands sweat whenever its Nozzle O'Clock

Tiny, fiddly bits. The thruster nozzles love to POP OUT AND FLY ACROSS THE ROOM, you have to make sure they're 100% in there and not to bump them. The stickers are numerous and tiny. I will probably just pick up the MG to replace this just to not deal with another 10min hunt for stray nozzles.

This image has lived rent free in my head since I first saw it for being so apt

And finally Neil/Lockon and Dynames. Neil is a former soldier that hides his trauma under a layer of cool and relaxed humor and geniality. Dynames is a ghillied sniper, but uses the shroud to hide its core which is further obscured by an armor piece over it.

The one I have the least to say about is Allelujah Haptism. He has split personalities and his suit transforms between two modes.

Tieria is one of the most nonbinary coded characters out there, going as far as to be put in dresses in later materials, and is artificial. Their Gundam is masculine and robotic looking, covered in heavy armor until it reveals the very feminine Nadleeh underneath with long hair.

Setsuna is prickly, a bit of an in your face hothead, and guards his heart while letting his ideals be clear. Exia is bristling with blades and pointy bits, melee focused, and has a partially obscured GN drive.

Finished the HG Penelope tonight after a couple weeks of on and off working on it while juggling life. Normally, an HG is a great way to kick back and relax for a few hours. But this chonky lady is MASSIVE and somewhat between an HG and an MG to me. Very fun build. Virtue and Ground Cmdr for scale

I like building HGs because they're small and simple afternoon projects.

We might need to hit em with the ol special

Turns out there's a lot of things that have existed for decades that have suddenly either called themselves AI for the same reason as everything was blockchain a few years ago OR have shoehorned in LLMs into inappropriate places. e.g. Steam recommendations? LLMify it for Microslop!

Not yet, I'm not set up for painting yet at my place. After I get my new desk/computer set up though I'll have the room to start experimenting. I've only painted a couple of things before, but I'm looking forward to doing more and learning!

I think what makes it stand out starkly is watching them actually try bluesky and realize all the little made up, asinine rules and hoops they had to jump through

Similarly, yet different

Stormlight RPG finally arrived.
