"Griefer" is a pretty funny name for it too!

Griefer is an *awesome* name for it!

Besides, they already made the "Kampfer" as a MS from Gundam 0080 "War in the pocket" "Griefer" fits this blue meany well, and man, what a Knight that would make!

Oh, if we're talking about more generalized Gundam mecha skeletons, one can go the route of the 1/100 YAMS-130B "Griefer":

Needs more gatling guns.

And bigger ones.

Why would you show me such an amazing kit that I can't buy! DAMN YOU!

Did you miss my original post on the previous page?

I gave a link to the mass production version (with the much smaller guns and simplified detailing). The Chilok knockoff kit *is* available, though you're on your own on the big guns.

Considering the price, it's not at all unreasonable if you want to get 95% of the way there for the mech itself.

Both your links went to blogs-is there a link at either of those that would take one to a store for it?

I was curious as well.

It was $275, only 800 kits were made as posted here on facebook. You can find a few of them on ebay from $239-$299, I believe there are 3 up there now.

Sorry, I figured you'd google the kit name and maker to find it.

That sounds like too much work to me! Spoonfed or bust!

You could get the normal version and get some weapons from Kotobukiya

Well, the hopper in the pic is still too small - would be barely enough for one gun, let alone two.

Comparing to the GAU-8 drum, I'd say 4x would be about right

You mean the links to a chinese knock off that doesn't feature the guns pictured in your OP? Sorry I didn't see how that got me the exact model in the picture.

Griefer seems to have wires coming out of this back. Is he motorised too?!

He's wired for the LEDs.

And look who's in stock

22" long
1/48 scale
$130

Update $118 on Amazon.

So tempted... 22" long.

Coming later this month, a shuttle/bomber from some old obscure show from 10 years ago.



$70+shipping, ouch.

1/32? That's pretty big. No wonder it's so expensive.

a 1/32 scale kit can work as a medium/large drop-ship in 10mm/15mm, or a small/medium drop-ship in 28mm.

Lately I've been obseesed wtih trying to build an IG shuttle or even better a troop/tank lander.

Looking at this right now.



Or maybe trying to make something big with the Platformer kits.

This may or may not be awesome news for some of you. PM's Office is re-releasing their 1/35 Leynos kit.
From what Google translate tells me, this seems to be in conjunction with Assault Suits Leynos being re-released (or possibly a brand new game?) on the PS4.
This is being billed as a "Renewal Ver.," whatever that means. Retail price to be 6,900 yen.

I'm still trying to find a good use for one of these:

It's missing a door and several of the guns but it still feels like it'd make a good transport.

It looks like the missing door would be very easy to replace with some plasticard.

The guns look a bit old-fashioned to me, I would replace them with something more SF looking. There are many possibilities in the SF and modern spare parts markets.

It's a great model and would do nicely either for IG or Tau in 40K, or for Infinity and other SF skirmish games.

I have 3 of those assault suits as my "Not-Knights"


for an ideal of scale with a 30mm soldier, the torso is like a large sentinel hull which has the legs below and big arms, is enclosed with the sensor/camera head above the pilot

Torso module next to sentinel for comparison

It has no use.

Send it to me and I'll dispose of it appropriately.

I'd happily send it to you for 'disposal' but you'd have to pay postage. Which is probably more than it's worth just to 'destroy'.

The Space Box is down to $97.49... tempting.

My buddy has one of these mechwarrior clix (10mm) dropships. If you leave the upper hatches down and just lower the bottom part, it looks perfectly in-scale for 28mm. It's just a beautiful giant piece of terrain.

We use it for roughly it's intended purpose. We've rebased tons of the cliky mechs on traditional bases and we play Alpha Strike or Mech Attack with them. So far we've just used it as terrain, but the Alpha Strike book has rules for the armor and weapons of landed dropships....

I've only seen it mentioned on CollectionDX so far, but Volks showed off some brand new Panzer World Galiant model kits. They did not mention if these are going to be new plastic kits, but most likely they will be. The downside is that they will also probably be very expensive like their recent plastic Votoms and upcoming Layzner kits though. But, considering the prices of GW mecha kits, the more expensive Volks kits probably aren't that bad in comparison.



Still, I imagine centaur mecha would interest someone around here.

Wow, new Galient kits?

That's a fair bit of nostalgia right there.

I built a few of the centaurs. I know I built a legit Takara kit, and a few cheap Korean knock-offs.

I'd be down for one. Not sure if it would be the right size for one of those Imperial Knight centaur things, but I'd be tempted by one regardless.
