I've been watching The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System, and I'm so torn on this one. On one hand, the animation is amazing, and for one the MC seems to have a good personality, but oh my goodness, the pacing is beyond slow. That, and the entire game/class system is super weird? Like, the game the world is based on feels so unbalanced and poorly designed. It's not a deal breaker, but it's such a weird combination of greatness and badness.

I also tried to watch Tougen Anki, but it feels like such a cookie cutter shonen. I am so tired of the loud-mouthed, half-brained punk kid as MC. Can't we try something different? For all I complain JJK is Naruto with a different skin (at least until the Shibuya arc), at least Itadori was a fresh take on the shonen MC stereotypes.

    Hey there! Sorry if it feels I'm spamming, but no one else is sharing their builds. Anyways, this time is a 30MS build, a collabo with Fate Grand Order. To be honest, I haven't played FGO, only knowing the brand through Stay Night, but I couldn't resist a girl in armor (they're so cool!)

    To be fair, while the model looks great once finished, and some of the armor parts are great and I can see myself modding them unto other builds, there are some design choices that make this build less than stellar. Some of the joints are weak, the clothes greatly limit leg mobility, and that shield, oh the shield! Amazing to look at, but too heavy for the model. You do need a separate stand for it if you want to pose it as anything else but the basis pose.

    All in all, a good build nonetheless.

     

    Hey there! To complement augus' Dragonia Knight post, here's my take on the upgrade kit, the Dragonia Lord. It originally comes in red and gold-ish; I painted it black with white gold, as I already had a different kit with a similar colour scheme and wanted some variety. This was also the first time I experimented with paint layer opacity; I tried to apply the black layer thinly as to let some of the original red undertones to show through, as a way to emulate fiery scales; the result was not exactly as I expected, but I was also not disappointed.

    After assembling it and painting it, one of the horns broke. I think it adds some cool flair to it, if I say so myself!

    I must say, out of the current 30MF line, the Dragonia Lord is one of my favs. Not only because I adore anything dragon, but because the build is a bit sturdier than the other kits, perhaps because it's slightly bigger and there's a bit more plastic on the joints.

    Another 30MF enjoyer, yay! Do you plan to get the upgrade armor kit? I completely recommend it; plus, it also looks amazing on the knight, giving you more customization options.

    This has been so far a bit slow season. I'm watching The Apothecary Diares season 3, and well... I don't know, maybe I was expecting more, considering we're into season 3. I'm also not fan of the new setting, not to mention the profound lack of interaction (or progress!) between the two leads. Feels it's been 3 episodes of a lot of nothing, with a very small side dish of the season overarching mysterious plot.

    I'm also watching Ramparts of Ice season 2. Season 1 surprised me with how good it was. But season 2 is becoming a bit too heavy too fast, and I think I'll wait until all eps are done before resuming watching it.

    Finally, started watching Romelia War Chronicles (I apologise if that's not the English name); it's fine so far. Nothing too great, but also good enough to convince me to watch a bit more. That said, the main lead def needs a bit more time developing her character; so far it's a bit hard to get her.

    So, overall, a bland start to this season. Thank goodness for backlogs!

  • [30MS] Custom Build (lemmy.world)
     

    Hey there! Sorry if it seems I'm spamming; I just have many builds to share!

    This time is a custom build using 30 Minutes Sisters and Missions kits. For the torso, I used Option parts set 7 (evil costume) color A, with arms and legs from 30MM Cielnova. The hair and face, I don't remember the kit numbers.

    The weapons come from the 30MM Armored Core weapon set 04 (the machine gun and the canon thing) and sengoku army customize weapons (the long gun).

    For the colours, I had this yellow on black image in mind; I tried to go with a pattern or oil stains design, but I think I still have a long way to go. Need more practice!

     

    Hey there! New kit, this time from the Daemon x Machina TS collab series, the Bahamut!

    The kit is amazing, and I cannot recommend it enough. It was a bit harder to build than the ones in the 30mm series, but nothing too hard. The armor detail is on point, especially for a high-grade level kit (or at least that's where I'd put it). The mobility is not as great, mostly due to the armor, but it was enough to make a couple of poses.

    [30MF] Gladiator (lemmy.world)
     

    Hey there! Allow me to show you another of my builds, again from 30 Minutes Fantasy. This time is a bit of a custow build: Liber Gladiator armor with the body from Rozan Wizard. My objective was to do a bit of training with the feminization of the models (seeing as how, as of now, all 30MF kits are very much male-code), following the instructions from Narisawa_Ya.

    For the colour, I went with a black metallic base with a gold coating for a dark gold effect, and white gold for the accents.

    Armor base: Metallic black (Tamiya TS-40) Armor coating: Prost's Goro ゴールドパール Accent base: Champagne gold (TS-75) Weapon color: Gold (TS-21)

     

    Hey there! Wondering if other non-gundam kits are accepted here. I tried to look for a 30 Minute Missions and their family community, or at least something more generic, but it seems Lemmy needs more love for plastic kits. Anyways, if you all don't mind, allow me to post a bit of my collection. Since I started building, I've always aimed to put some custom painting in each figure. It doesn't always end up pretty, but it's always enjoyable!

    Here's a Liber Viking from my favourite lineup of 30 Minute Fantasy.
