http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/581939.page

Intended?

No the Crossbone gundam has been available for a while

**Jehan-reznor**

Joke as it may be some of these are about the size of the knights, pose-able, and probably cheaper!

1/144 is indeed about the right scale for a knight (or a Tau riptide for that matter) and those kits seem to be on average about $30 or less.

And it's crap like that which makes it really, really hard for me to understand how the hell anyone can get behind GW's pricing. The knight shouldn't be more than $50 tops, maybe $75 if you accept the fact that it's GW and they're going to rip you off.

Well the imp. knights sold out (also here in Japan) so GW will only increase the price!

I'd also like to note that Bandai aren't the only ones in the game. Kotobukiya makes some amazing kits. Their Armored Core sets are absolutely amazing.

I just wish Kotobukiya polycap sprues were as commonly available as Bandai's. One of the ankle polycaps for an SRW Huckebein fell beneath my modelling table months ago and I've never been able to find it to complete the model. Swept out the entire area and still can't find it.

Well they sell 'm here, which one are you looking for?

**Jehan-reznor**

I have this one pre-ordered from Valkerian/Gallian Chronicles Edelweiss!

And this one is nice as heavy tank Gundam UC M61A5 main battle tank

Does anyone remember the old Robotech model kits that Revell licensed? Most of the "odd" ones were old kits from the Dougram anime produced by Takara. This isn't exactly Gundam or Bandai, but in the general vicinity and I was hoping maybe someone knew if there has been any reissues or new kits of those as they fetch a hefty price on ebay. While the mechs were quite 80's in design, there were some cool vehicles and a couple of walker platforms that had an interesting design.

Specifically the Tequila Gunner in 1/48 scale pictured below.

Spoiler:

These　are from the Japanese Dougram (ダグラム) series

I like the Lost planet one except them feet!, Border break played that great game they should release it on the console/PC

Talking about Battletech, How about this one!

Ah, thanks guys - that scale/size is too large for any practical gaming use though, even as scenery...

Yes 1:35
I made the Bandai tank as count as a super-heavy tank.

Spoiler:

The Edelweis is more akin to an early www2 tank so it may be a lot smaller.

The second one is 12" long... so bigger than a baneblade, and it costs more too might I add. But yeah, very cool.

What? new it should be less than 100$

Spoiler:

**Jehan-reznor**

I bought this one last week Aura Battler Dunbine Figure for about 10$ 8" tall Chaos insect knight?

**Jehan-reznor**

Went to mandarake today and found some interesting stuff

Frame Arms model kit 004 lots of parts

Spoiler:

MBT-90D Tank from a Anime movie Techno police 21C 1/48 scale

Spoiler:

Saw a star ship trooper model kit, never knew it existed, it was pricey so i didn't buy it.

Jehan, are you in Nagoya? I saw that exact same Techno Police tank at the Nagoya Mandarake a few weeks ago. I probably would've bought it if it weren't for the fact that I would've had difficulty fitting it into my suitcase unbuilt.

Nope Kobe, went to Osaka game market last Sunday and went to Mandarake in Umeda after that, here is the chainsaw from the source

**Jehan-reznor**

That must be Hello Kitty's suit.

**Jehan-reznor**

Haha cool there is a smaller version out now that i will maybe use as a dreadnought

For anyone who wants to build a Hangar for their imperial knights
this is quite cool, this is Kotobikuya MB-09 and it goes op to MB-19.
size is 18 x 17 x 6.5 cm / 256g

http://main.kotobukiya.co.jp/parts/msg_plabase01.html

**Jehan-reznor**

The scale is somewhat smaller, but quite usable i think. Size wise i think it is ok, to small for my Leviathan i think.

**Jehan-reznor**

Here is the chainsaw in relation to some GW figures and the parts

Chainsaw parts

And together with the bot who still needs a lot of work

And that for only 700yen (about 7$)

**Jehan-reznor**

This one is on sale at Hobby link Japan
http://www.hlj.com/product/SET88011/Act

Riobot Blodia (Cyberbots)

**Jehan-reznor**

But for use in a wargame a toy model is better suited because it will survive the transport more easily and it looks damn cool!

**Jehan-reznor**

I am interested in the origin story, the new one looks to funky for me
this gundam tank?

Not only Japanese kits have higher quality at lower prices than GW (even taking into account the so called GW´s exclusiveness) but they can do this for a instant noodles' promotion! Two different colors on the same sprue on the cheap! Why GW refuses to learn from other makers (even if they apply higher prices)?

M.

Hey are those MK2 power armor legs?

**Jehan-reznor**

Went to pick up my Volks Edelweiss tank

**Jehan-reznor**

Sure no problemo.

**Jehan-reznor**

I had a few of those Kits from Dougram, love the 4 legged and 6 legged tanks.

It is a Volks exclusive.

I've been sick but have some work done on it will post some pics later

**Jehan-reznor**

Well here is my progress on the Edelweiss

That looks like it's going to be very time consuming. Keep us updated though... and maybe give us a scale shot?

Sure, i can do that, will add the tracks this evening, can put a marine next to it.

**Jehan-reznor**

Tracks added

Question for those who've purchased Frame Arms kits before:

I've been looking at the Frame Arms Type 32 Model 5 Zennrai as a possible Imperial Knight proxy. Would something like this be too small?

I have that one it is around 6"

Spoiler:

Top added to my edelweiss tank and tracks rustified needs some touch ups here and there

Thanks for that mate, yes that does look like it has potential. Maybe stick a load of smaller turrets over it, then go in with the green stuff?

It's between that now and the Gundam UC M61A5 (although saw the price of that imported, around £100!)

And, ended up getting distracted by this, which would have absolutely no use in any game but has moved right to the top of my future buying list regardless!

Spoiler:

I got one this is a pic when i was still working on it, it is about 6800 yen new but have seen in second hand for 5000yen

**Jehan-reznor**

That looks like some older Yatterman toys, i am using this as my Khornemower for my Hello kitty Marines.

**Jehan-reznor**

Pacific wrote:

Jehan-reznor - Can I ask, did you get the version that had the soldiers with it? And if so what kind of scale they are/how many you get?

I didn't bought the one with the figures because i planned to convert it from the get go, i think the normal version comes with one or two figures, and if you look at the pictures the figures are around halve the size than that of a space marine.
