Armored core model kits/all types of kits (i'm lookin at u valker)

[BIOHUNTERZ]

So anyone got one of these? I am buying a 1/70 scale tomorrow from some random shop in the mall by my place for 30 bucks. looks to be sweet! I have not made up any kits in some time now.

Who is into building and pimping out these things? Post some pics of you kits if you have any. I dont have my MS team gundam set up right now but I will post a pic to get the ball rolling tomorrow after work.

All my gundam stuff is boxed up to keep all that white plastic from yellowing. I don't own any AC models yet.

If you wanna see some AC models already assembled, head to dalong.net
he does all sorts of mecha model kits, including armored core. here's a direct link to the Kotobukiya section, which has some AC stuff in it: http://dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/...iya_cata_e.htm

Ive got 1 put together, and one in its box that I need to build. I want to paint the one in the box. They actually look okay unpainted, but not NEARLY as good as they look with a good paintjob. Expect to paint lots of tiny little pieces though. Easiest way to paint if you want to take a quick route and follow this guys little faq. Its on gundams, but it can be applied to any kind of model from planes, to boats, to giant robots.

They've got a Nineball model, but its not the old Nineball from the first games. Its the new one from Ninebreaker. Im gonna pass on it.

This is the one Ive got on my shelf.


And this is the one waiting to get put together.

Haha, Bio will be ****** at me. I just stopped in at the comic shop out here to grab me some Hellboy, and I saw an AC box on the shelf for $40. I grabbed it right away. It seems like alot but itd cost me about the same to order it off the internet anyway.

Re: Armored core model kits/all types of kits (i'm lookin at u valker)

Bio, the timing of your post is kinda odd. along with your stated price of the AC model.

Was the store you were going to go to, by any chance, called Ages Three and Up in Burnaby?

Because if it was, the store's owner Spencer goes to a transformer forum I frequent, and he said he was moving the store around the 15th to across from toys r us.

if it was the store I think it was, the move could take a while (or it could be done already, for all I know), but their online store is open at agesthreeandup.com, and they do have a single AC model kit in right now for 35 dollars. in fact it's the very one that Crunk just bought.

I want one of these! I'm in Michigan, where do I go?

There arent any stores around that I know would have them, unfortunately.

I'd just reccomend grabbing them off hlj.com

They have the AC kits, along with the add-on weapon packs and stuff. just like the games, the parts are all interchangable.

to funny!

thats the one valk. I live right across the street from the mall he has his store in. I checked with mall info and they where relocating so I am not bummed anymore, but to hurry home and get to the store completely cleaned out was a shocker. plus they did not even bother to put up signs about thier relocation plans.

After seeing Nineball on dalong.net, I decided I have to get it.

Im hoping they do a classic Nineball eventually.

I used to have a Master of Arena Nineball garage kit (never built it, or even opened the box). bought it on ebay when the game came out in the US for about 20 dollars. sold it three years ago on yahoo japan auctions for $650.

Ive thought about trying to build my own before. Though it'd mostly be made of wood.
