Golden Riser

00 Diver Ace[Gold Coating] + 00 Riser

Thought it would be fun to use a gold coated kit for an actual gold frame. Used sharpies to tint the clear parts that went over the joints, and I had cut new stickers for the insides of them using a fancy sticker paper. Same sticker paper was incorporated into the sword. Also, I like to imagine it’s rifles have the capability to drain another suit of its energy/particles/etc, because the rifles themselves peg directly into Riser’s arms.

For Children's Day May 5 2019, gundam.info asked people which gundam characters they would like as a daughter or son. These are the results.

So this is the Stormbringer F.A. I love the design but have not yet been able to grab one

Last year I built an HG somewhat inspired by the Stormbringer

Colours aren't quite right, he's a little rough around the edges, and the head is very different but I was very happy with him...

And now Bandai announce the Stormbringer P.F (Phantom Fang)

They gave him a Gatling! Now I really have to get one and paint him the FA colours.

I know that it’s dorky as shit, but after watching all the Build series, I do legitimately think I’ve become a better builder by putting my heart into each Gunpla and believing in the spirit of it and all that.

Context: hi! I realized my anime watch list was 100 anime long and, I need to get on that! And I can't choose where to start, so I'm leaving it up to Tumblr!

Rules: Three rounds of voting. Top 5 from each poll on round one go to round two, 5 polls of 10. Top 2 from each of those will go to the finals! I'll watch the winner of that

The tag to find all the polls will be 100 anime poll!

Posed Morph and my Mobile Doll May together. They look a little awkward but that's okay.

CorRupti0n ArMor

You know how glitches in old videogames often resulted in weird bands of color and otherwise distorted pixels? That was the inspiration behind why I gave this a rough texture to go with its splotchy paint scheme, as well as mismatching armor; it’s meant to look like something is wrong with it, while still looking functional.

GN-0000DVR/II Gundam 00 Diver Arc

Let's continue our very unneeded and out-of-date deconstruction of Build Metaverse with looking at how the show handled Build Divers. As far as characters go, it probably did the best overall job, with four of the six main cast members returning, as well as Magee. We also get to see them interact with each other, and not just Rio or characters from other seasons. Having both Riku and Ayame get new Gunpla is also a big bonus.

Though I am not without complaints, as this is another instance where they put the original character designs over the updated ones, and it's even more egregious here because those aged up versions of those characters interacted directly with the Re:Rise cast and had decent screen time, unlike Sei who was only ever hinted at. It's pushing nostalgia for something that's not even 5 years old.

The Kit: The kit is mostly the 00 Diver again with a few new pieces, though unlike the Shin Burning, it's a bit more hit or miss. The GN Drives are probably the best we've ever gotten on a High Grade, with the full wing units capable of a ton of poses and gimmicks, and the Drives themselves being multi-layered and capable of opening and closing. They also use metallic stickers for the GN Particle effect.

But things like the chest and horns aren't as great, feeling loose in places. It's the first time since the Seltsam that I've had to glue something to keep it in place. And I understand why they chose to redo the Diver instead of the Sky, since we recently got the 00 Sky Moebius, but it's weird that Riku is the only character to not get his ultimate unit upgraded.

The Details: Apart from the usual panel lining and black fill, I used metallic green underneath the translucent green elements, similar to what I did with the Shin Burning. I also used metallic blue on the eyes, cameras, and a few other places like the feet and elbows.

And, as I mentioned, the chest would not hold together, so I had to use a dab of glue to hold it in place.

Overall, while the tolerance issues were a bummer, I can definitely see myself buying multiples of this kit in the future just for those GN Drives. They're that good. Apart from all that, it's a decent kit with a lot of non-intrusive gimmicks. So I'd say it's a good grab, but be aware of its issues.
