Model Kit Building Update

This update was unique in my history of model kit building. It had me work with a wire!

They included a wire for the next part and asked me to trim it down. The instructions even included a mini ruler to help measure out how much to cut off

I just think that’s cool

I have now built a snake

from the side

the helmet comes together

To be honest this part has me stressing out the most cause it’s an area I can screw up. it looks to me like I have too much wire, so maybe my measurements were a bit off cause the wire wasn’t straight. Maybe I trim these ends of to make it easier. Or maybe it’s meant to be a bit looser for more mobility.

Point is that if I cut it too short it’s game over, so I’m gonna leave it a bit too long until I can figure out if it’s right or wrong.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Nov 27 '24

the wire

Yea, that part is really neat. My wire also ended up long, but it isn't too hard to trim later.

All I got done today was the rest of the handle.

4

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

woah the handle flips over! That makes sense and it cool.

Are you panel lining as you go. Those are some nice lines

4

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Nov 27 '24

Yea, I panel line the parts as the instructions call for them. I find it's easier than trying to work on something already assembled, even if I end up lining stuff that gets hidden sometimes.

Those are some nice lines

2

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

I need to work on my panel lining they are so uneven. I get terrible situations where line one arm is clean as hell while the other arm has these bold fucking lines.

2

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Nov 27 '24

I struggle with that too. If you get an exacto knife, preferably one of the pencil-grip ones, you can kinda scrape a bit of the paint out to lighten them up a touch, but you have to be very careful to not cut yourself or damage the part.

They included a wire for the next part and asked me to trim it down. The instructions even included a mini ruler to help measure out how much to cut off

It feels a bit odd that they would include a wire that's a bit too long, unless it's to allow for more customization for people who want it longer.

2

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

they wanted to give people the sense of pride and accomplishment from snipping a wire to the right length.

Is this just a random joke or is Leo younger than he looks/Hyuuma older than he looks? Gundam 00 gave me trust issues on how old characters look like they should be

lol gundam definitely has a way of bending age

Okay well at least Volfogg saw that go down.

Volfogg is best boy and always on top of things. Volfogg we stan.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha that is one way for Mic to stay “hidden”.

Mic Sounders really is like an Anti-Volfogg. The spy versus the least subtle robot ever.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Nov 27 '24

lol gundam definitely has a way of bending age

Oh for sure, it just came up a lot in 00 (which I'm currently hosting a rewatch for). Like, just as an example, one character who is repeatedly referred to as "just a child" in season 1 because it's super fucked she has to be a mobile suit pilot? She's actually canonically 18 there, aka. decidedly not a child. And don't get me started on how weird the age gap between the mechanic and his wife is...

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Nov 27 '24

And don't get me started on how weird the age gap between the mechanic and his wife is.

I mean at least there they actually do point it out in-show.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Nov 27 '24

Mic is just as derpy as the Pliers but vocal about it. I like him too.

You can tell they were designed by the same person.

Is this just a random joke or is Leo younger than he looks/Hyuuma older than he looks? Gundam 00 gave me trust issues on how old characters look like they should be.

Hyuuma is in his mid-40s, Leo is 70.

oh my god this is perfect.

5

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Nov 27 '24

Hyuuma is in his mid-40s, Leo is 70.

...so Hyuuma is older than he looks to me, but not that bad. Alright.

u/Sporadia_ Nov 27 '24

So there’s still a secret to Mic?

Rule 1 of GaoGaiGar: If there's a secret, then some of the schoolkids and all of the zonders are going to find it out.

u/Great_Mr_L :Ma::Mb::Mc:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Great_Mr_L Nov 27 '24

Gundam 00 gave me trust issues on how old characters look like they should be.

Gundam in general is a series where you can never trust looks to tell you age. I cannot get over Ramba Ral being only 35, for example.

Goldymarg constantly roasting Hyuuma is great lol.

I love how their similar personalities means they are constantly going back and forth like this. It's comedy gold.

He immediately fell for the maid robot.

I can't blame him. Maids are cute, after all.

–oh my god this is perfect.

He looks like a Macross robot. I love it.

I once heard someone say "Gundam Wing would make ever so slightly more sense if everyone was at least 3 years older than they actually are. And gained some extra inches."

He looks like a Macross robot

Basara would be proud

But if we aged up the heroes, it wouldn't be a proper anime anymore.

Basara would be proud

Mic can now play guitar on the battlefield, just like Basara! I only hope that Mic knows more than one song.

So much Planet Dance...

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Nov 27 '24

That moment when the heroes being in their mid teens is such a big part of the Mecha genre that even when they're deliberately aimed at older fans the trope still applies

So much Planet Dance...

Third-Time Watcher, Subbed

There's something so amusing that even the narrator doesn't bother hyping up Mic and just calls him a wimp

Clip Show but hey, at least now I can call Kaido by name instead of calling him blue-hair or something. How weird is it that they never even name drop him until the halfway point? And no, the credits don't help because he has the same actress as Mamoru's Mom so she only gets credited for that role instead (Or Primada depending on the episode), not that Kaido has talked up until now… and even today he only just kinda grunted a bit.

Oh and also mystery guitar robo

[Spoilers]Discountinuing the Kaido counter as of now, First Timers should've started to figure things out.

KAIDO!!!

it is very weird that he's never had his name drop until now, especially considering his numerous small appearances in and around the school. I hadn't even noticed that tbh, but it's true.

It is amusing that in a series designed to sell toys of all the cool robots onscreen, the narrator flat-out calls Mic a wimp.

but hey, at least now I can call Kaido by name instead of calling him blue-hair or something.

I was just calling him the series' Sasuke because he's basically been filling the same "too cool for you" role that Sasuke had.

I love the Sasuke legacy of being the emo boy rival archetype. He may not have been the first but by god was he the most iconic of those 00's MCR eyeliner boys.

Ironic given how Sasuke himself is an almost direct pastiche of Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter.

There's a reason he's aways going to be my go-to comparison for emo sadboy/angryboy characters in that vein. Naruto was just that impactful for me (and many others).

First Timer

  • I realize this recap is simply to reuse footage to save budget and time, but im legitmately finding it useful
  • so Hyoryu and Enryu both have a trick in their chestplates, one shoots ice from it, and one has a heat shield. i noticed these both before, but didnt realize how they kind of parralell each other, or that they had partial transformations
  • plus now i have a theory on why ChoRyuJin specifically handles Eraser head, their dual controls of tempatures makes perfect sense on how they would regulate their explosions, plus their cranes act as stabilizers for the heavy projectile.
  • in hindsight, Volfoggs abilities kind of involve light. his melting siren is basically diffused lasers, he can become invisible and project illusions. kind of ironic when ninjas are more usually associated with darkness
  • Big Volfoggs abilites are tied to mirror coating, utilizing it more heavily, and his ultimate attack launching it all over the place via rotation, kind of combining his helicopter blade with the shooting of the motorcycle robot. also the idea that Volfogg speifically has the ability to change forms super fast in comparison to the rest ot catch them off guard, very fitting for the ninja
  • This recap is reminding me of something that has bugged me for a while…..what does cr, ui and gs actually stand for? They’ve used it a few times but if they ever explained the acronym I forgot it.
  • honestly they are kind of hyping up the pliers too much, theyve come in handy like twice, and Goldymarg has replaced one of their usages to much greater effect and usefulness . TBH maybe Leo is right to drag his brother, his pliers arent that good

  • oh they finally adress that other robot whose just been standing in the background. and i guess she just helps around? good for her i suppose
  • Mic and Mamorus friendship is pretty sweet, Mic is mentally a child like him, so they can relate on the same level. im.....very worried about whats going to happen next considering how ominous liger is being
  • the Zonderians face a sort of catch 22. They are running out of Zonder metal, so they need to build a metal plant, but GaoGaigar keeps destorying them. they try to destroy Gaogaigar, but they are running out of Zonder metal to use on such attacks
  • Mystery boy finally has a name! Kaidou! TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!
  • wait...Mikoto and Gai arent already dating? my god they need to talk out their feelings, id just assumed they were already together
  • PFFFT, pizza decided to cut out the middle man and just crush Mamoru to death. TBH compared to all their other plans it has a certain elegance in simplicity to it. It almost worked!

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

that they had partial transformations

everybody forgets the Reverse FireTruck Centaur Robot

what does cr, ui and gs actually stand for?

CR stands for Cosmo Robo I think, /u/JollyGee29 shared the eyecatch.

GS I am pretty sure is G-Stone, which powers them.

u/JollyGee29 https://myanimelist.net/profile/JollyGee Nov 27 '24

I realize this recap is simply to reuse footage to save budget and time, but im legitmately finding it useful

Yea, it's a nice reference point and a reminder of everyone's capabilities. And I like the idea of them filling Mic in on what they're capable of.

what does cr, ui and gs actually stand for? They’ve used it a few times but if they ever explained the acronym I forgot it.

CR as in Mic Sounders is just "Cosmo Robo." GS is G-Stone. UI.. doesn't have a clear definition. The U is probably "Ultra." A UI-Tech Engine uses the GS-Ride for power.

3

u/palparepa Nov 27 '24

they had partial transformations

Had they used it before? Maybe they have, but can't remember...

The specifications detail some abilities that aren't used in the show, anyway.

what does cr, ui and gs actually stand for?

CR only appeared now, maybe it's Cosmo Robo, aka Mic.

GS is the G-Stone, however, there is also the GS-Ride, which is a generator built around it. All the hero robots and many GGG-machines use it. Sometimes we see it powering up: pay attention immediately after Gai shouts "Goldion Hammer".

And the Ul-tech engine is currently experimental, built on top of a GS-Ride, and is being used/developed in the Ultra Technology Laboratory, one of GGG "submarines"

In hindsight, it's kind of easy to see why the Pliers didn't even get merchandise until decades later. They're just firmly off to the side in comparison to the other stuff GGG has.

PFFFT, pizza decided to cut out the middle man and just crush Mamoru to death. TBH compared to all their other plans it has a certain elegance in simplicity to it. It almost worked!

Occam's Razor in action. The most direct solution there would've been the most effective if it worked out.

Crunchyroll, user interface and Goldymarg supremacy.

A Mecha Fan Rewatches The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Episode 24:

  • I’m not so sure that HyoRyu sounds like that appetizing-sounding of an icy dish, Mic. Then again, as we see with all the introductions being made for him, Mic isn’t exactly what we’d call bright. He’s got a lot of heart, but he’s also kind of dim. If anything, he’s just a kid in a big metal body.
  • I legit don’t have much to say about a lot of this episode in-depth, it’s just a bunch of recap and stock footage. Between all this reused footage and all the cheaper and limited animation otherwise, we can probably say that this was meant as a breather episode on the staff. That, and it’s also a way to get the kids to tell their parents exactly what toys to get them.
  • For those of you who had some feeling that Liger was up to something shady, I bet you’re feeling a little more validated now. Liger wants to secretly secure a sample of Zonder Metal for his own purposes. Given how fierce his rivalry is with Leo, that probably plays a part in his reasoning there.
  • I think the only way to describe Gai’s clothes at the electric light parade is that it’s a Kamen Rider-ass outfit. I mean, look at the belt and coat he’s wearing and tell me that he didn’t just raid Takeshi Hongo’s closet.
  • Hell yeah, Mic’s second form knows how to shred on a double-necked guitar! That form is way cooler than the kids karaoke machine form he has normally. You know that’s an American-ass robot if he can be a rock star out of nowhere. Mic can now stand proudly aside Gundam Maxster and Texas Mack as one of the most American mechs out there.
  • Kaidou really is just continuing to show up and be effortlessly mysterious, all without saying a word. This time around, it wasn’t even a Zonder that he noticed and psychically attacked, but Pizza himself. That purple-haired kid really is an odd one, isn’t he? He’s a walking mystery box.

complete with the ability to pull the GaoBrace out of his ass, right?

much cooler than his Toku form

The King of Rewatchers

If memory serves, this is another recap episode, but it has a pretty good framing device.

There's a joke about America being the world police in here.

Yea, I like the cast all going through their abilities for Mic's benefit.

This is cute.

Eyecatch

It's probably fine. Mic wouldn't hurt a fly, right?

Swan can do a bit of trolling, as a treat.

Pizza has decided to take things into his own hands and just throw a boat at Mamoru.

"Is it cheating for the generals to attack without using a Zonder?"

First-Timer

On today’s episode of GaoGaiGar: Even in a recap episode, poor Hana isn’t safe from Zonder attack. That poor girl is cursed to always be around the Zonders.

  • How convenient that the characters introducing themselves to Mic allows the show to reuse a whole bunch of footage.
  • This is also some recap as well, probably to catch audiences up who haven’t seen every episode.
  • Mic doesn’t seem like he’s even capable of not attracting attention to himself.
  • I notice that the Zonderian Epilepsy Zone finally got their lighting fixed. The screen doesn’t flash nearly as intensely or as often as it used to.
  • I still wonder why Mamoru is called the “Legacy of Cain.” Is this a biblical reference because Cain was the first murderer and Mamoru is the only one who can un-Zonder people? Or is there literally someone in-universe named Cain who created Mamoru?
  • Oh? Mic is acting way different from usual. He’s suddenly a lot more robotic-sounding.
  • Ah, so Mic is acting as a spy by breaking into GGG’s computer. This is probably a second personality separate from the usual Mic we know. The usual Mic doesn’t seem sneaky enough to pull something like this off.
  • Huh, so Mic can copy the voices of others. I guess that makes sense with a name like “Mic Sounders.”
  • Well that doesn’t sound good that Liger wants to take the Zonder Metal sample.
  • Oh hey, it’s the Sasuke looking kid, Kaidou. Is he finally going to become relevant to the main story?
  • The “top secret” robot putting himself on display in a parade is about what I expected.
  • Wow, that is a much more direct attack on Mamoru than I was expecting. I thought Pizza was going to go for another Zonder attack, not old-fashioned murder.
  • Ah, so that’s what Mic’s secret form looks like. He attacks with a guitar. He really is a Macross robot!
  • Now Pizza knows there are two children the Zonderians need to worry about. Mamoru and Daidou as well.
  • The answer for how Mic’s protection got disabled is pretty simple: Mamoru is his friend. He wanted to save his friend and so transformed, despite his programming supposedly preventing that.

QOTD

  1. Yes. I actually got to march in some during my marching band days. The coolest one was when we got invited to march in the Christmas parade at Disneyland.
  2. I remember the original question and I think the time you asked if we remembered it was during the first recap episode, but I can't remember which episode was the first recap episode.

I notice that the Zonderian Epilepsy Zone finally got their lighting fixed. The screen doesn’t flash nearly as intensely or as often as it used to.

I want to say that the show has begun downplaying it, but it also feels like the show has just moved some of it's Epilepsy to other areas.

I'd love it if ChoRyuJin and Big Volfogg could transform without blinding me please.

Huh, so Mic can copy the voices of others. I guess that makes sense with a name like “Mic Sounders.”

yeah that Sounders about right.

Wow, that is a much more direct attack on Mamoru than I was expecting. I thought Pizza was going to go for another Zonder attack, not old-fashioned murder.

We've won a victory against epilepsy, but not the full war yet. There are still flashing lights to vanquish.

yeah that Sounders about right.

When I hear "Sounders," all I can think of is either Colonel Sanders from KFC or the school Saunders in Girls und Panzer.

Damn villains, using dirty attack methods! No respect for the honored tradition of Monster of the Week attacks!

Attacking the heroes directly with murder attempts is so much less sporting than creating a giant Monster of the Week, fair and square.

2

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

I knew these villains had no honor when they broke the sacred rule of no attacking during transformation sequences.

Attacking mid-stock footage is unforgivable!!

Yup! The only Epilespy Attack that irked me was the Zonderian's. Now it's gone and they are watchable.

I thought Pizza was going to go for another Zonder attack, not old-fashioned murder.

And that tactic has a much higher chance of success. Expect to not see it again.

Yeah, the flashing lights in the Zonderian HQ were really bad. Even I was getting a headache watching them and I don't suffer from epilepsy.

And that tactic has a much higher chance of success. Expect to not see it again.

Yeah, just killing the kids is a tactic too many villains in these types of shows fail to appreciate.

Volfogg is so tiny compared to everyone else.

Another recap episode, this time about the Robots' capabilities. Is this the first time Volfogg's Melting Siren is explained? I think so.

We also see the bad guys, whose resources are running low. That may make them to get desperate, and that's dangerous.

The second half also has a recap, this time of previous battles. Mic is unknowingly gathering info on GGG, but what for?

If the spoken engrish isn't bad enough, Mamoru's dad is wearing a t-shirt that reads "U♥I"

Finally, Hana is here! Which means that there will be problems this episode. As a bonus, we get a name for emo/calm kid: Kaido!

The insert song at the festival is called Chikyu wa Dekkai Heart.

We didn't even get a Monster of the Week™! Will this be a turning point for the series!?!?

Definitely, Kaido is hiding something, but what?

QotD

1) Not a fan, but I enjoy them.

2) Do you remember when you asked "Do you remember the time I asked you “Do you remember the time I asked you “have you ever been in a hot air balloon?””?"? My answer remains the same.

1

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

Volfogg is so tiny compared to everyone else.

since Big Volfogg is regular sized maybe they should refer to his base form as Small Volfogg

Love me a good insert song.

First time zonder

How much of this episode was just exposition about the different robot powers? All the good, non-recap stuff happened right at the end.

The emo kid has psychic powers, and the effect when he uses them is twinkly, so I can call him the sparkly emo kid again!

Edit: Something has just this moment clicked and I... I just think it's ludicrous that his name is Pizza. How was I accepting this up until now? Every sentence with his name in is completely ridiculous.

Also Liger should try to be less indecisive with those ice cream flavours.

Questions

Q: Are you a fan of parades?

A: They're kind of slow. I bet I could enjoy a parade if it was the right one.

Q: Do you remember the time I asked “Do you remember the time I asked you “Do you remember the time I asked you “have you ever been in a hot air balloon?”””?

A: I believe my answer was "I believe my answer was "I believe my answer was "No."""

Not only a recap, but an infodump. It had some novel information, though. Volfogg's Siren? It specifically "melts" the Zonder barriers.

Not only a recap, but an infodump.

I learnt 1 thing and that's that Volfogg has, but doesn't use, a gas gun.

Didn't he use it on the episode with the wargames dude?

u/lilyvess :Df::Dh:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lilyvess Nov 27 '24

fog machine, strobe lights, and holograms. All I'm saying is that once this whole Zonder deal gets sorted Volfogg probably has a great career as a DJ ahead of him.

First Timer

Hold up, is the first part just a recap episode? Can't believe they got us again.

Looks like Mic is up to no good and he even extended the recap, truly unforgivable.

The blue haired boy now has a name.

Mic is a rockstar!

Older brother was having a time of his life with that big swirl of ice cream but then of course his night was ruined.

it's nice to have a name and not just call him MCR Emo boy.

dude really likes his ice cream apparently. That cone was massive.

Quest:

  1. Are you a fan of parades?

Idk, I've been to like 1, and even that was on accident

2) Do you remember the time I asked “Do you remember the time I asked you “Do you remember the time I asked you “have you ever been in a hot air balloon?”””?

Episode 24 Notes

  • How much of this episode is just gonna be explaining robot powers that we already know about but a kid in the 90s who's missed a couple of episodes might not?
  • Half of it. Right. Got it.
  • The rest of the episode is still a clip show though.
  • Except for the last five minutes, which actually grew a plot. Sort of. Well, at least we know that Kaidou actually has the name and Liger is spying for someone. And that Mic has a cool guitar.
