nice

any body know where I can watch Rec-G besides Youtube? for some reason they made it 'not available in my country'
<Snipped quote by Lunar Templar>

first things first Lately I've been using superglue to coat the joint in a thin layer. A little bit on both sides, and 1-3 coats is usually enough to make even the loosest gunpla joints feel as tight as a Robot Damashii (though not as tight as those expensive Yamato Macross toys). Though with that said I cant not stress thin layer not really thick just enough to stiffen it or Another option is clear acrylic nail polish. Super Glue works well, and dries quicker but I find it can be a bit of a pain to work with sometimes. Hope this helps you a bit

Second it is rushed but without being overly critical and my grievances it can be enjoyable to a certain extent.

Also found a really interesting build for G-Arcane from a professional build for a contest but the picture is small but they turned arcane into a witch styled gunpla which is interesting.


Thanks :D, the 'Hydra pack' seems to be highlighting a hip joined issue, and the head has always been loose on this kit :/

Yeah, Rec-G is still watchable, just disappointing. Like the 'intro edit' for Blazing, the full version is so much better. But I loved Kill La Kill's second intro so I had super high hopes it'd be awesome to, so there's that >.>
@Suku

2 things

1) you know how to tighten joints up? cause I kinda need to know for that Hydra/Exia build I have, yes, still no paint >.>, but I added and removed from the 'Hydra' pack and turned the other pack in to a 'thing'

we like things right?

II) Yeah, but like you said the story feels 'rushed' so it's not like anyone is getting the time they need to really develop.
<Snipped quote by Lunar Templar>

true enough


worst part is, she seems rather smart, but keeps doing dumb things, unlike 'ability ass pull' Bell, who is just dumb but gets away with it cause plot armor
Yah Still to be fair though it seems rushed overall like they were at a lost of what to exactly do. Also got my hand a 2 G-arcane gunpala's going to try and do a custom build of it lol let see if I cant make it seem better overall as a suit lol.


would probably help if the suit wasn't piloted by an idiot in show. which is sad, cause she's really the only one i 'like' and i use that term loosely
yeah Rec-G is pretty 'meh' all round. Shame that.
"Battle Ended" The Battle system said as the casual match Alexis had been ended in a draw.

It had been a battle between a six armed Burning/God Gundam, and a Custom Unicorn Gundam. It'd been a good match, pretty much from the start with both fighters demonstrating a decent amount of skill at the controls, enough to make the fight fun to watch anyway. Unlike her fight with Alex though, this one ended in a double KO, with a shot from the Unicorns Beam Magnum going between a pair of ranged 'Burning/God Fingers' resulting in both Gunpla being taken out at the same time.

Was kind of a shame they'd been totaled, she liked both builds, the custom Burning/God Gundam looked as though it had more then a little Sazabi in there, While the Unicorn looked like it had mostly original molded parts in the chest, shoulder armor, forearms, lower legs and in the head and crest.

oh, also

>.> Alexis has improved? >.> really >.>

ok ... >.> I'm not seeing it, but sure.
shame that all the Flags aren't like that, I'd like them more.

00 was really kind of a disappointment for the MP suits for me though, nothing with any real ... I donno, they just felt really 'meh'.
Name: Alexis Voll

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance: Long brown hair blue eyes an light skin. Alexis stands about 5 11 is in general just average looking in terms of build and looks. She general keeps her hair braided and
wears glasses for reading or building due to poor 'close' vision.

Clothing wise she is very 'jeans and t-shirt', though she generally wears pants a size or two to big so she doesn't feel like she's being choked by them. She also has a plain black leather jacket with 'Celestial Being's emblem embroidered on the shoulder that she got as a gift from her brother.

Nationality: American

Backstory: Alexis got her start with Gundam thanks to her brother, Damian, who got introduced to it via the legendary first run of Toonami, with Gundam Wing, 8th MS team and G-Gundam, as well as Gundam SEED later, and kept following it off and on over the years. Damian, while still a fan eventually drifted from it due to life getting in the way and just gave the DVDs he'd gotten for Wing, SEED, 00 and several 'spin offs' like 8th MS team, Stardust Memory and War in the Pocket.

She was initially annoyed her brother just dumped at those DVDs on her, being 14 and all, she just tucked them away until one Friday night after getting stood up by her now Ex-Boyfriend who turned out to have been cheating on her with a now Ex-Friend, pulled the back out and binged on them, starting with Gundam 00, expecting little more then mindless explosions. By the following Tuesday she'd burned through everything her brother had given her and started looking for more.

Still, while she'd become a fan of the anime, buying and building a Gunpla was something she'd hadn't considered, even after a local mall got a battle system. She'd watch the battles from time to time but felt that Gunpla building and battling weren’t for her. At First.

Naturally, curiosity got the better of her and she walked into the hobby shop that specialized in Gundam kits and supplys. Her first reaction to all the kits, many of MS and Gundam she'd never seen before was 'holy crap' in that surprised 'this is really this big?!' way, she wandered the shop a bit before grabbing a plain old HG Zaku II, as she generally had a thing for Zeon MS. The kit turned out to be the first of many, though she usually just went for 'show accurate' rather then any kind of custom build.

By the time she was 16 she graduated to battling, just casual matches with the damage set to the lowest
setting with friends she'd made with the regulars at the hobby shop, or the occasional shop run local tournament. Her brother encouraged her to take part in a more serious tournament, after seeing one of her more intense battles. She didn't hesitate like before on this though, she did how ever no enter the first tournament to come around though. What she did instead was talk to, and learn more about customization and tuning for higher performance. Plus she had to pick a Gunpla to 'trick out' and get really combat ready.

The answer to that present it self fairly quickly. The process she used was simple she'd look over her now, impressive collection of Gunpla and pick the one she liked best. Exia got picked becase she had like 5 of them, with a 6th in the form of the newly released RG Exia, which sat unbuilt in it's box still.
With her Gunpla chosen, she still had 2 problems to deal with though. She didn't know what she wanted to do far as customizations went, all offical tournaments in her area all conformed to 'World Championship' standards, which meant Model Damage Level A, a setting she'd never fought on. She'd seen others fight on that setting, and even seen the aftermath of those battles. Still she steeled her self for the ass kicking she was about to get and asked if she could join a game with one them. A couple of them teased her a little, the 'fresh meat' joke being tossed around, but they where generally helpful and one in particular, another girl fighter named Rachel offered advice on how to improve her game.

Mean while Damian suggested she make Exia a 'sleeper', A plain looking model that is hiding a much higher performance level then its looks would imply, Alexis liked this idea, Rachel thought it was underhanded, and she loved it and Alexis set to work building her Exia, field testing it on Level A with her friends, though Exia wasn't ready in time for the first tournament and family issues caused her to miss the one next year so she didn't make her debut till she was 18.

She made it all the way to the first round of the Semi Finals before what amounts to bad luck took her out of the tournament her first year, next year she made it to the finals, but lost to an Eypon after a long fight. Alexis took State on her third try but it was a narrow victory.

It's been a few years since her first State title, since then she collected a few Regional titles and even made it as far as the top 16 in the country. Though lately she's feeling like she's hit a wall, as she's not sure what else she can do to Exia to get more out of it with out. Which is what lead her to apply, and subsequently get into Nielsen's Academy/Lab.

Main Gunpla:
Gundam Exia

Scale: 1/144

Based from: 1/144 RG Gundam Exia

Exia a 'Sleeper' as Damian calls it. Past being well put together one could easily mistake it for a show accurate build, when its really a high performance Gunpla. It is very faithful to the Exia's appearance in 00 but it has been tuned and tweaked a little here and there to eek out a much high performance level then it should other wise have.

Such modifications include; The GN Sword and Blades have have the plastic blades replaced with metal ones, and the Beam Rifle mode for the GN Sword also has been bored out slightly to accommodate a metal lining for the barrel. Metal reenforced shield (molded to fit under the plastic), Tweaked GN Drive and 2 added GN Battery’s to allow for longer Trans-Am time, and replacing the standard Vulcan's with Beam Vulcan’s and the Beam Daggers.

Fixed/Mounted Armaments:
GN Sword (converts to Beam Rifle) x 1
GN Long Blade x 1
GN Short Blade x 1
GN Beam Saber x 2 (stored on the back-skirt armor)
GN Shield x 1
GN Beam Vulcan/Beam Dagger X 2 (Hard-mounted where on the arms where the Vulcan's would be)

Equipment:
Enhanced GN Drive
GN Battery X 2 (back of the shoulders and uses the Beam Saber parts to throw people off/she likes how they look)
Trans-Am System

Notes; Though it's been rebuilt and repaired from scratch more then once, Alexis considers this the 'same' Exia she first started battling with, mostly due to the GN Drive on the back being from that first kit.

Other Gunpla:
Straight Build RG Strike Freedom;
Tweaked and tuned to be a bit more easy on energy, and general performance enhancements.

Fixed/Mounted Armaments:
2 x head mounted Vulcans
Troso mounted Beam Cannon
2 x Beam Sabers
2 x Rail Cannons
2 x Beam Shield Generators (fore-arm mounted)
2 x Beam Rifles, that can combine for higher output.

Remote weapons:
Super DRAGOON System with x8 bits, all with Beam Rifles as fixed weapons.

Notes; Alexis actually dislikes the Strike Freedom due to all the 'plot related BS' surrounding it. But uses it anyway due in part to it being a gift from Rachel and to practice with remote weapons like Funnels and the DRAGOON system.

Wing Gundam Zero Custom
1/144 RG Wing Zero kit

Fixed/Mounted Armaments
Beam Sabers x 2
Twin Buster Rifle
Shoulder Mounted Gatling Cannons x 2

Notes; Alexis is notta fan of the fact she can't fix some of the system issues with Wing Zero right now, and would love nothing more then to tear it down and start working on it.
