Well, that's a thing. Bloodthirsty War Dolphins, eh?

Sounds like a new demon unit!

They stole my Chapter name!

Nice try - I'm pretty sure that's already the name of one of the 'missing' Two Legions.

Missing no more!

A-dolphius?

Thanks for all the fish!

Poseable action figure. It's quite pricey, but from the gallery pics, it looks like they are doing the whole range of mecha out of Macross in proper scale.

If I was rich I would get a bunch of these and do big scale battles in the park.

The Hi-Metal kits have been out for a while. They look nice, but are too small to be in scale to 40k. Being, I believe 1/100 scale. Of course if you don't care that they aren't the correct size for 40k go for it.

That monster was around 14,000 yen last time I saw it on the store.

1:1 scale Gundamn in Tokyo

When's Nottingham getting a 1:1 scale Warhound?

They already have 1:1 scale ultramarines, and we all know that everyone wants to be an ultramarine, even Gundams

Didn't they take him down and hide him behind the stairs in WhW?


Than Gundam is awesome. They also have a 1:1 RX-78 somewhere. I would love to see a 1:1 Sazabi or Zaku personally.

Those Macross Destroids a few posts back look awesome also. I am a sucker for anything Robotech/Macross/Genesis Climber MOSPEADA.... love me some Cyclones.

There was this a few years back



Nottingham needs to step up its game.

Warhound standing ontop of their building maybe?

Very nice, looks like they're even trying to give it it's Destroy mode as well.

It almost looks like the parts are going to move so it can switch modes. That's pretty cool. Always liked the Unicorn's design.

I do agree it's time we see a 1:1 Zeon model though. A Zaku would be more appropriate than a Sazabi- plus the Sazabi is just too dang big.

Word is, Unicorn will in fact transform into Destroy Mode. Seems like that would be complex and prone to breaking down though.

I'm actually a bit disappointed that we're getting Unicorn instead of a Zaku. Build Fighters even had an episode where the cast visited the site for an event and the showed a 1/1 Char Zaku standing opposite the RX-78.

I would love to see Unicorn in Destroy mode at night!

Yeah, I know a Zaku would be more appropriate, but dang nam it the Sazabi is just such a cool mobile suit. I got the 1/144 and the 1/100 ver ka and I love them both. I am looking for the 1/100th original suit locally also. The 1/100 ver ka Sinanju is also a nice kit but not as nice or as big as the Sazabi. The MSN-04 Sazabi has much more 'heft' to the kit the then MSN-06 Sinaju.

I would love to see a 1:1 Zaku tho next to the RX-78 it would be really neat. Especially if they had a statues of Amuro and Char next to them.... I so do love wishlisting

Unicorn can, and does. They were testing the crest/horn when it was first being put together.

Reminds me of back when we used upturned 40mm square bases for missile pods.

I'm posting these here rather than in the military/historical thread because they're blatantly fictional. Anyway, these have turned up for pre-order on HLJ:
https://hlj.com/search/go?af=selectmanufacturer%3Arocketmodels

Basically a paper panzer hull on mecha-legs with a kugelblitz turret stuck underneath and various guns on top. This is the most conventional one, the other dorsal weapons are a twin-flak, the AA turret designed for the Panther and a Reintochter SAM. A bit kitbash-y but possible AdMech / Weird War applications?

Supposedly fully plastic kits, and reasonably priced, too. Downside though is that they're 1/72. Fine for 6 - 20mm gaming, not so much for 28mm.

o0o0 pretty... nice legs for stealing them and turning Mechanicum Ordo Reductor tanks into walking tanks....

I got my AIS mecha from PSO2 built last night.



Not a bad little kit, but much smaller than I was expecting. It's about a full head shorter than most 1/144 Gundam kits. For a Kotobukiya model, it's surprisingly simplistic. Most of their stuff uses tiny, minute little pieces, but not this kit. The way the hands are designed is interesting as well; the fingers are all one piece that clips into the palm. Much better method of doing the hands than some of their previous kits. I would say that there are two issues with the kit. 1)if you want it to look like the boxart, you absolutely have to paint it. Most of the white bits in the boxart and in the box photos are not present on the kit. Same with the clear blue bits. Thankfully, it still looks good even if you don't paint it. 2) the hips. I wish they used a system like Bandai's been using on their HG kits lately. It really needs a thigh swivel. Instead, its hips are basically using a ball & socket style joint, so it limits the hip mobility somewhat.

Overall though, definitely a good model. Pick one up!

I have a question and hope someone here in this thread can help me.

Which of the models in the spoiler tags below are actually physical models and where can I get them?


Mechs/Robots



Vehicles

The only one I recognize is the very first picture which is a minor modification to a Dougram kit. Just look up larger scale Dougram kits and you'll see the kit it's based on. The others look like scratch builds. The CGI of the air-defense tank is a kind of futuristic Tunguska (you could probably bash one from that kind of model kit).

I really love the SCUD/missile launcher one, so if that's a kit, please do post a link!

The two fichtenfoo pictures are resin kits available here https://industriamechanika.com/shop/14-Mecha
