Wow, you guys made my day more than anything... no one praise me on
this skill I have before. Thank you! :-)
My worst part is still painting... I just screwed up painting the

Oh come on, you are the one who has eyes for mecha designs? I can
barely tell Katoki and Kondo apart, you shouldn't look for praise from
me.
A couple of the "difficult" problem that's missing in HG 1/100 V was
address in Crossbone (cockpit/corefighter transformation and the hard
points), so I'm sure they'll put out a V with no problem. For V2,
Bandai did a good 1/60 so it's even less hard for them to get it done.
Hmm maybe... I don't get into predictions.
I have a "horrible" thought after I email you. Bandai is unlikely to
like OYW MS runs out in 1/144 line. And these original design
wouldn't support the movement. My guessing now is: v.2.0 of HGUC.
We've got 2.0 of Mk. II & Zeta MG, and I think they're not as old as
HGUC GunCannon.... think about that.
In a sense, you are stating just the obvious, 0079 MS will keep coming
out no matter what. But it is going to be labelled as a new line or
as HGUC 2.0? I don't think it matters that much.
And looking at Char's Gelgoog vs. the old Gelgoog Marine, there's
already a sort of 2.0. Somehow HGUC seems to resist certain MG trends
such as 1.5/2.0, Wing/G/F91/Seed and Ver Ka. So it's possible HGUC
will continue to avoid those tricks and sticks with the
game-originals, AoZ, igLoo etc are the real trends for HGUC. Like I
said, I don't think it matters much.
I heard some great praise on Igloo too, but the Z'gok+parts ->some
secret weapons, Bigro+booster->secret weapon idea is both fun yet
silly to me. At least we're not seeing dual-Ball-body + big cannon
from the Federation....
Ok, I've watched a couple episodes now. I think it's the kinda/sorta
"serious" OVA that "serious" UC fans have been asking for years. The
super weapons are a bit out of place indeed, but the end result is
pretty realistic. The real eye-catch for me is a lot of ship and
fighter battles that feels in general more realistic than any Gundam
animation so far.
I briefly talked about the problem of Zudah model vs. the design on
GML; I think if they can follow the design more, Zudah is in fact a
very cool kit.
Still looks ugly to me, but let me see the episode featurinig Zudah first.
BTW, I just saw on MAHQ that the "Target in Sight" game would have a
MS-09K-2 Dom Cannon... that's probably the next original HGUC kit.
Did I tell you I am planning to retire gunpla after green Gelgoog?
Dom Cannon isn't likely to change it.
Oh, any plan to get the Hard Graph kits? they looks Soooo sweet but
feels like even worse $-vs-parts ratio than EX.
Really? I opened a box of the scout set (1500 Yens), seems there's a
lot more plastic than any 3000 Yens EX kit. And it's nicely colored
plastic, unlike the 1- or 2- colors EX kits.
Isn't it ironic that the first kit in UCHG is from the "lost" episode?
Haven't made up my mind yet if I'm getting them. Think I will wait a
while and see what else they come up with. The risk is I will get
sucked into a bunch of Tamiya 1/35 kits for support.
