So, finally finished the main assembly of the Kishin-NEBULA and I'm pretty well satisfied. I have the decals for it, but I'm more tempted to try and draw in the highlights for the detailing. Not sure yet. It stands just over 8" tall, and overall assembly time is around 20-24 hours. In the front is a placard of the pilot basically giving her Nebula a good old fashioned body wash. (yes, Cross Core is one of THOSE Gacha games apparently XD).
1:1 Scale Hunter Heavy Gear Model
Built by Alain Gadbois of Fusion Models, to promote Activision's Heavy Gear giant robot simulator video game.
I used to enjoy that game, and it's second installment. Thinking back, seeing this also reminds me of the XBox graphics demo involving a "Gear"like mech doing martial arts with it's pilot.
So, its bee a long time since i last built a MG (1/100 scale) mecha model, and I'm proud to show off the CZ-12A Kishin-NEBULA by Howling Star x Cross Core. My main gripe is the Endoskeleton Kishin is almost a waste of time since you wind up removing a lot of it to build up the NEBULA. Aside from the REALLY small parts at times, its a very solid and detailed build. I especially like that the fingers on the hands are static and maintain grip on whatever it weapons it will hold (weapons and maybe decals/detailing later). Overall, a pretty fun 13+ hour build.
So, I've been busy . . . got this one a while back and never got around to assembly. This is the Kishin-Nebula, courtesy of Howling Star x Cross Core. Found out Cross Core is some kind of Gacha game.
But, it'll be a nice addition to my classic little army:
So, proceeded to construct the Kishin-NEBULA:
Current progress: Head, Chest, Waist completed (mostly)
Today was leg day XD
Something new
SO, this has been on my mind for a while lately, and I've finally decided to do it. I've had an idea to use the War Mommy (WH40k joke titan) as the basis for a Slaaneshi "War Matron" class Titan. She gonna be big, sexy, and disturbing (hopefully). The slicer itself is actually 3 parts: main body, "Abyss Claw" left arm, and the face of a ball joint doll (Robotica for reference). At this point, the print is about 50% complete into a 57 hour process.
Slaanesh has seen fit to bless me with her daughter.
So preliminary fitting of existing pieces, she's looks pretty decent, but I need to clean up a bit from her print. Current blemishes will be filled and sanded down eventually before painting.
So here's a rough idea of what I want to add to my War Matron, give her a thong of sorts, but visually similar to shibari, as I think that would fit well with the Slaaneshi aesthetic.
So my first real attempt at painting a mini, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. This is the Orion ON1-M mech from the 1996 CITYTECH box set for BATTLETECH. As far as the paint scheme, i was inspired by a carbon fiber paint scheme from another game (AirMech I think). I kinda messed up on the face of the Orion, as I should have touched it up with a bit more orange to match, but I think it gives it an aged and worn look that I like. Planning to do a similar paint job with a unseen Warhammer WHM-6R figure I have. On a more humorous note, this model wasn't made right. The cannon on it's left hip is supposed to be on the right.

and we love them.
Oh, their bits are showin! XD
I know I haven't posted in a while, and a bit of nostalgia was hitting me pretty hard as I dug and dug for a old favorite from the early 90s (in the US). The epic of Teknoman (Tekkaman Blade - Jp), and the struggles of one man and his allies to save humanity, both from itself and from an alien threat. I'm still watching the subbed version (Tekkaman), and while the story doesn't change much, what I do like most, and find more fitting, is the intro-outro theme. In the US-Eng version, the intro is basically a kind of techno mix, where the original Japanese is more like slow rock. I found that Youtube actually has the English dubbed episodes and i'm giddy as all hell about it.
These circles are stationary
Thanks I hate it.
*sigh* all power to hypnotoad.
Checked with a ruler and took screenshots - the circles are completely stationary. The effect is also not generated by the arrows, rather by the oscillating color.
The rings have 1px wide borders that oscillate out of phase with their interiors, and your eyes perceive the phase shifted borders as moving edges. It’s really neat, our optic nerves have specific hardware for edge detection and this gif fools it!
Also if I look away from the gif and stare at a spot, the gif looks really trippy in my peripheral vision. A++
My brain hurts.
DAMN OUR EYES!! XD
Well, this was a HIGHLY unexpected find, and the creation plus detailing are fucking wild.

Heavy Gear first edition rulebook, 1995.
My favourite mecha rpg/wargame of the late 90′s/early aughts. The first edition rulebook had rpg & wargame rules and not a lot of setting material, but it had plenty of gorgeous manga/bande dessinée fusion style art (mostly by Ghislain Barbe - @qosmiq) and great (heavily votoms-inspired) mecha designs.
Heavy Gear is the game that got me back into tabletop hobby gaming in ‘95, after I saw an ad for it in DP9′s Mecha Press magazine. And while I haven’t played in years, Heavy Gear still has a special place in my gaming memories.
Reblogging for the 30th anniversary of the Heavy Gear roleplaying and tactical game, and the 30th anniversary of my purchase of this book.
Still one of my favourite games.
Reblogging from my main.
Expect more Heavy Gear stuff, followers.
Reblogging for the rugged mecha designs. Though I'm more of a Battletech fan, Heavy Gear was a guilty pleasure in the PC gaming scene. HG and HGII were great games that sadly haven't been remembered . . .

I'm sitting here, Thursday night, post Nov. 5th Elections ("A date which will live in INFAMY"), and it dawns on me that while this wave of irresponsible hate, greed, and pride covers the US, I want everyone to remember that we can still push back. Don't ever forget that this is the result of apathy, pride, and depression. The Right Wing Authoritarians only won a figurehead . . . that's it. In 2 more years there's another vote for house and senate, and that will be a chance to curb the Raging Orange's horseshit. Also, a lot of what they supposedly plan will only bite them in the ass, mass deportations (if they even try) will remove people from jobs leaving people who have no expertise to fill the roles. Construction projects will be brought to a steep and sudden halt overnight among other things. Wasn't it Florida that experienced this phenom earlier . . . leaving a housing development thoroughly undeveloped?
For our kin in the LGBTQ+, be defiant, but do so in a way they can't complain. I wish I knew more about what could be done, but whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! Make this would-be king remember that it's the people who got him into this position, and it's still the people that can tear him down, and any attemp he makes on you will only result in a France grade Resistance. Hoist your colors high and keep fighting for what's right, and rightfully yours.
For our Women, I am truly concerned for those of you who voted for him, knowing full well what would happen, or what he would attempt. Your health will always mean more than this madman, show him that just because you have different genitals doesn't mean weakness and that because he's a male, everyone knows what his weaknesses are.
Lastly, for those who voted for Trump, we were telling you this would be a bad idea, and he'll do nothing to help you at all. And when all your hard work comes to a halt, he's not going to give two shits while swimming at a pool with his buddies Bezos and Musk. You voted for a president who is a confirmed madman, and will attempt to become a form of "King Above All" instead. This should make you feel guilty for fucking up your home for a empty promise made by an orange narcissist.

SOciety needs a reminder that the government is to support it's people, NOT adhere to the lone words of the rich and religious:
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness . . .
Codify the Declaration of Independence, secure the life, liberty, and happiness for all people regardless of enthicity, religion, gender, and orientation. No human is born deserving to be treated as less than human.
