Reading my mind? Those are some great examples of creative mounting methods that look so much better than shoving the back end of the model on a stand [:)]
I especially like the second link…
I don’t know, it must just be something with me and ambushes, the dramatic irony is key.
The last one taken from a different site, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before (perhaps FSM?)
haha so speaking of reading minds, it turns out I was speaking to the choir…
“…that the white base had all of the parts and paint to repair and make the gundam guncannon and guntank look perfect battle after battle.”
I liked your beat up multi-color version. That’s the basic concept I was talking about.
I also liked your Gouf dragging the upper half of Amuro’s Gundam across the desert. Very cool. I didn’t mean to stumble across you page, just noticed some comments on that space piece which bore a familiar screen name… [;)]
heh, I had good ideas, but they were never done well, its why I dont linkem here, Im not proud of them (not really proud of anything I built).
That last pic is a Fitchen foo kit, though I dislike the person, I love his builds.
What multicolor thing are you referring?
The ambushes can be good, I’v wanted to do a reverse ambush for a bit, have a normal ambush with one ambushees droping behind the guy who thinks hes going to do the ambushing.
The multicolor thing I was referring to was your guntank. From what I could tell it appeared that all the salvaged parts that had been added on and thrown into the mix had kept their original look/paint and had turned into a big combination piece. (of course I’m comparing that one with the guntanks I saw in 08th MS which were all a solid dark blueish color- I’m not sure what campaign yours was from and don’t know if they had those colors/parts originally or not to be honest.
Your double ambush idea sounds promising, as long as it’s all in a somewhat close proximity, I feel like unless there was a lot of space junk or thick urban environment in-between the three, it’d be had to pull off without one of the parties getting wise.
I looked through the Fitchen foo site; he does have some breathtaking pieces. May I ask why you dislike him?
I feel bad about all the stuff I link to FSM, 9 times out of 10 it’s an unfinished half build that wont get updated for a few more months…
I dislike him because he has a superiority complex, plain and simple.
As far as the guntank, it actuially went through stages of evolution. First I dislike the anime colors, to bright, so I darkened them, using dark blue, dark red, and deep yellow.
From there I added the skirts and the front bit of armor, then battle damaged it.
From there I repaired the damage with the bits of styrene replicating armor additions.
Its not really from any campaign, its one of those hack/mod kits that are so encouraged.
About 08th, those are the mass produced version of the guntank, they dont ahve a core fighter in them.
