After destroying the Memento Mori, Saji marvels at Celestial Being. Marie detects three approaching units, which are revealed to be a new mobile armor piloted by Divine, a Garazzo piloted by Bring, and a Gadessa piloted by Revive (both mobile suits are equipped with the boosters that were on the Garazzo during its first sortie).

Sinanju Bazooka: Group Order Interest

Posted in Gunpla News on January 6, 2009 by Knolly

EDIT: We got enough interest for this and have proceeded with it. If you’re interested, please see this post.

Original Post:

As you may be aware, there’s going to be a limited edition Sinanju bazooka similar to the Unicorn’s gatlings.

The bazooka will be coming with Vol 8 of Gundam Unicorn, which is being released in April. Trying to a preemptive sort of state of mind, I’m putting this post out there for anyone interested in a group order. I’m in talks with a Japanese bookseller and an get a mass order going, here are the conditions:

- Each Bazooka is $25 shipped to the US. There is no discount for ordering multiple bazookas.
- You ONLY get the bazooka, no novels will be available in an effort to keep shipping down.
- The box the bazooka comes in will be wrapped in paper, sealed nicely, and shipped. This is in an effort to keep costs of packaging down. From having the Unicorn gatlings myself, the boxes of these things are REALLY strong. If I feel there is a danger of the bazooka being broken, I’ll ensure it gets packed in a safer material.
- You MUST be able to pay me prior to me placing the order. I am NOT going to put an order of a few hundred dollars worth of these in a hope that everyone will pay me (I’m especially leery since I may have just gotten stiffed on a set of my Unicorn gatlings).

Post a comment here if you are interested or any questions you might have. Righty now I’m checking whose interested and if we have enough people I might start looking for payments in a few weeks since I have to get these ordered early in order to have a large enough quantity.

This is currently a US ONLY deal. If you are interested and from another country, please post a comment and depending on the number I might try to accommodate you, but no promises.

Sinanju: Buildup Part 6: Backpack and Weapons

Posted in MG Sinanju on January 3, 2009 by Knolly

Final piece of the buildup. I’ll have another post with some closing thoughts, but the building ends here.

The extending booster mechanism in the backpack is actually rather simple. Which, as I mentioned, I’m a fan of. The more moving parts ya got, the easier it is for something to go wrong.

For a prime example of this, see the Unicorn MG.

Sinanju: Buildup Part 5: Legs

Posted in MG Sinanju on January 2, 2009 by Knolly

Alrighty, I recovered from New Years Eve to start working on the Sinanju again.

On a massive beast like the Sinanju, there’s a horrific amount of parts… But what I really liked was the simplification of some parts on the leg. The section pictured up there, which is the majority of the leg frame, is made of only 7 parts, which is especially impressive given the complexity of the knee armor mechanism.
