Waterborne Insertion

The picture that inspired the design.... I liked this version of the head better than the OVA version.


Yes, I need a proper scanner.   All this glossy paper!

More Power!

The GP01fb ready for business with double RX-Vsh-023F/S-04712 Multiple Shield/Anti-MS shields, and two BOWA XBR-M-82A beam rifles.

(Though it may look like Gunpla, it is actually a CGI illustration.  The reversed lettering on the shield is evidence of this.)

The GM Machinegun

Following a recent discussion on Reddit regarding how poorly the MS-18E Kampfer fared against the Alex's 90mm gatlings... I thought it would be appropriate to see just how the standard weapon of the GM series may have fared... 


--




The HFW-GMG-MG79-90mm GM Machine Gun was the essential anti-Mobile Suit machine gun deployed in the One Year War.  As a 'system weapon', different parts could be combined to create the GM Rifle, and the GM Long Rifle.  (TL: The HFW-GR·MR82-90mm GM Rifle and HWF GR·MLR79-90mm Long Rifle, respectively.)

When used against either Super hard steel alloy and Titanium-Ceramic alloy armor materials, the weapon has the power to easily penetrate either.

This weapon was also seen being used by the RX-78-GP01 during the Torrington base Gundamjack incident.

Self control



I told myself data collections weren't even on my list of stuff I was looking for...But they were so cheap... :(

I'm going to need to sell a few books when I get back, some I just never look at for lack of interesting information that isn't duplicated somewhere else.  (Looking at you, Rapport Deluxe.)

The Dengeki Data collections were eventually translated as the 'technical manuals' for the US market.
The Data collections are usually pretty good at having good info, with the exception of the Macross one...That one is just a compact version of Perfect Memory.  

It'll be up for sale soon somewhere...

New stuff

Finally completed the UC Entertainment Bible collection plus another Master File.

The V gundam EBs aren't exactly hard to find, I had just not really been interested in them...But I watched V recently, so I figured why not!


Also...Wonder what this could be, hmm...Gundam wiki oddly doesn't have anything, not even something inferred from the photo, so I suppose I could translate some stuff from this book...
