ah, I built that one, without mods. The "Mint" GM.
In case you mean the GM 1.0, this is not it, even though I've built that one years ago. The MG GM 1.0 is based on the RX-78-2 1.0 while the MG GM Kai is based on the RX-78-2 Ver.Ka and can be bought in two variants, the ground type with a navy blue torso an the space type with a red torso.
The mod is for an MS of the 08th MS Team OVA even though the GM Kai is generally related to Stardust Memory so it actually means going backwards chronologically.

Oh, yes that's the one. As you can see, yours has shoulder handles and a head antenna, both of which I removed. And I painted the rims around the chest vents in white instead of red.
You told me to ignore it but I have to wonder how judicious it is to have a cat near your gunpla. :)

Yeah it looks like you've turned it into the gm sanders pilots in 8th ms team episode 1. If I'm remembering right.

And yeah lol I keep all my gunpla on shelves to the side of there, Koshi is a surprisingly good cat who's never tried to fit himself in the shelves with them. But I definitely can't leave them on the table like that for long. He loves to sleep in the boxes the models come in too, while I'm building, ruins the box completely. He doesn't understand he's too big for them ><.

Correct, I tried to turn this
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RGM-79C_GM_Type_C
into this
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RGM-79[E]_GM_Early_Type
even though not all the details are correct like the backpack openings and the notches in the armor.
Nice that he is a good cat, I was imagining him going berserk on the model with small pieces flying everywhere, so I'm glad it's nothing like that.

Gundam Build Divers Episode 20


To me it seemed weird to announce to the entire GBN playerbase that Sarah is a EL-Diver and responsible for the glitches. It just seems like something you'd keep secret especially with Build Divers on the rise and having such a large influence on some of the big players. It would simply seem like all of their comrades would actually work to protect Sarah instead of turning her in.

Sad that this also means were enterting the endgame for the series. Really loved this so much.

It's more weird that they're trying to erase her rather than capture her. What's the world of GBN like outside the game? 'Cause Sarah seems to be unique in that she's sentient AI. She thinks, she gets scared/happy/disappointed. That's an incredible scientific discovery and the SD Gundam dude's like "lol, erase her". Can't trust SD-types.

So back on watching Zeta(will get in some more episodes today, switching to something else for a moment though). Episode 17, boy all these Cyber new types are psychotic aren't they? Well it's suiting for the first appearance of the intimidating(and super sized) psycho Gundam(that's a kit for another year though, a 50 buck kit that requires an entire shoe box to store is a touch too big for me right now)
Boy, Zeta really hits good on both heroic and villainous Suit designs, especially with the 'mini' transforming Mobile armors. Plenty of stuff I want the kits of(Messala, Gaplant, Asshimar, Shiki) And I'm not even that far in, can't wait to see what else is in store
Behold the tears of time... and awesome space jazz credits

Finally built my Zeong yesterday, may take a pic or two today, but plan to ripe my sister into helping me take good pics of the entire set when she visits later this week. I have no talent for photography. Got revive Titan Gundam mk2 and Rick Dias on my backlog

So I started watching Zeta for the first time and HOO BOY IS THE PSYCHO GUNDAM SO FUCKING RAD!

It's weird too, because due to browsing Dalong extensively I feel like I've been spoiled on all of the UC mobile suit designs, but somehow this one slipped me by.

Well if you're browsing randomly you just see an odd black Gundam if you don't have a point of reference, but see the kit or it in the show and you realize it's a giant crazy twist on a Gundam with a hg that's over a foot tall

Yeah, true. I probably skimmed it over thinking that it was a weird recolor.

I might pick up the gigantic HG, tbh. I like the design that much, even the big goofy shield.

It's on my wishlist, and I still have my birthday and Christmas, plus a sister with a good budget and is in a gift buying mood this year. Mind you I'm buying her a spiralizer attachment for her mixer. But I'd much rather try for that than do a single kit for a month right now(and I can't do from japan orders right now).

And yes it transforms

I've also been watching Zeta for the first time and am loving it. I haven't enjoyed some of the episode to episode plots, like Rosamia's stuff (keeping vague for the others)

I read the movies cut that out and I gotta say, nothing of value was lost there. I do really enjoy where the political intrigue has gone.

Zeta Char is best Char. I like Rosamia enough to waifu her, she's still a better woman than Reccoa was.

I don't think Rosamia is too critical to the story but there is definitely other stuff they cut out that I would miss.

Zeta could use some trimming for sure, but the movies aren't really a successful example of that. I have my fair share of issues with the tv series, but it's practically flawless next to the movie trilogy.

I've not watched the movies either, but she feels like a smart cut. I'm interested to see what was omitted now...

At least the latest episode of Build Divers remembered that there's supposed to be Gunpla Battles. The show has largely felt aimless since the whole Break Decal plotline finished up, and it doesn't seem like they've really been focusing much on the Gunpla aspect of things. One thing I really liked about the previous seasons was that they really showcased people's conversions. It doesn't feel like Divers has done much of that.

Also, have we actually seen the Tilt Rotor packs in action in the show, or have they only ever been featured in the intro?

Finished Victory Gundam. I liked it, found it boring at times. There wasn't really a character that I was always excited to see.

G GUNDAM NEXT!

Losing the second Earth arc I think jumps out to me the most. That and the ending changes.

Any character you would get attached to would probably die in an episode or two anyway.

Oh man, so you lose the scene where
they raid that Federation meeting? Shit was gangster when Char was telling them "Yo, the Titans are evil"
That's a big loss!
I've only watched them once so I may have this wrong, but I believe the Dakar bit was in. Mostly talking about Kilimanjaro.

I was personally heartbroken at Katejina's ending. Naturally, she'd be broken like that, but it hurts. She's a casualty of war in a sense.

Ahhh okay, so nothing that drastic. The Kilimanjaro stuff was okay.

I think after Four dies was when the stuff I was hooked into kinda took a back seat to mobile suit battles. There were a few good moments here and there that I really loved! Like Hamon and Paptimus' fight. Pretty much anything with Hamon being a wild card between the two forces was fun. The main AEUG and Titans conflict kinda stalled out over the Gryps 2 laser stuff. I liked it but felt like they were spinning their wheels and having random battles until they got to the final few eps. Ending also just kinda happens. Not a huge bummer, just not a lot of time to take in what happened to Kamille. I like that ZZ basically rolls right out of the end of Zeta from what I can tell, tho. So any shock I might have had from the end of Zeta is relieved by that.

Def gonna watch ZZ next. The main character def looks like a product of a post-Akira world. lol

Battle Operation 2 is still fun but I'm really getting sick of people rage quitting when they lose. It cancels the session and you don't gain EXP or anything. It happens way too often.

Try and power through the first 15 episodes or so understanding that the whole series isn't like this. What follows probably still doesn't stand up to Zeta, but has lots of great moments, mechanical designs and more Haman being awesome. Judau is pretty cool too.

Yeah, I liked Zeta, but I feel like I prefer MSG between MSG and Zeta. So I'm wondering if ZZ will be more to my liking. I hadn't heard that about the early goings of ZZ before! What gives? I've always heard ZZ tries to be a bit lighter after the way Zeta just drops a bowling ball a bowling ball onto the audiences chest in the last few episodes. Is it a lot of street kids going on mad cap adventures or something?

And Judau seems great from the handful of times I've seen him. Anyone with a jacket that rad is alright in my book.

The first seven episodes or so are filled to the brim with slapstick. For around the next ten episodes after that, it goes back and forth between your standard Gundam fare and something more comical (though still significantly toned down from the really early episodes). I really enjoy the series when it gets to that second point, but a lot of fans only get into it after that. The rest of the series is probably the most like the middle of Zeta, although ZZ still keeps a bit of it's humor around, it just isn't as in your face as it was earlier on.

ZZ is my favorite series, so I really recommend you watch it, but... be aware of what you're getting into.

It's amazing, but it's also really hard to make your way to that point because of how rough it starts. Not to say that all the wackiness is bad, some of it is actually super funny, but it's very hit and miss.

Yazan with a pork chop glued to his mouth, while not the Yazan we all know and love, is still alright.

ZZ turns out ok by the end. It's just not that solid of journey to the good stuff and I think it's thematically weaker than the prior series.

Really what brings it down is Judau's shitty friends.
I would say it has more memorable characters than some of the other series I've seen.
