#huckebein

More SUPAH ROBOT WAHS OG bay-beeeeee!  Always a good day when I get to build another of Banpresto’s OG machines, and here we have their most infamous; the Huckebein!   Okay technically the Mk-II but who cares.  Famously Banpresto actually got legally leaned on by Sunrise, the owners of Gundam, for the huckie designs being too close to the gundams and Banpresto actually had all the hucks destroyed in the fiction of their story, replaced with new mechs that weren’t as close to gundams.  But that tension has clearly... cleared up, over the years, as the hucks have returned in SRW games, and... well this model kit!

I was worried at first that the huckie might actually just be a HG gundam, and therefore not in scale with its OG model kit siblings (the Altiesen, Gespenst, and Cybuster so far), but while it IS the smallest of the kits so far, it is bigger then a standard HG gundam and doesn’t look out of scale to its brethren.

I feel like a broken record these days talking about how great Bandai’s modern kits are but... they just ARE, holy smokes, they so geeewwwd.  It’s solid, it’s color accurate, it’s poseable, it looks great!  I dunno what more to tell people, if you like the design, and you like the building hobby, just get it!  What I have to say about older kits and non-Bandai stuff is likely to be the only truly meaningful critique I can give at this point.

Well okay and the RG GaoGaiGar cuz I was very disappointed with how many issues that guy has...

More shots under the cut!

A mecha action oneshot. Red Ignis, a latent Psychodriver, signs up as a test pilot for a Huckebein, but runs into trouble when the labs it was produced at are attacked.

I wanted to try writing an action scene different from a JJBA-style battle, so I wrote a mecha battle. I had fun making this!

Red Ignis and Corbel Ignis belong to @redsfailingatlewd (warning: NSFW blog).

I’ll take proper pics later but here we go!  Huckebein has joined THE BOIS.

Can’t wait for that announced Dygengard HG, gonna attach his stand behind/inbetween Alt and Huck’s and find a way to get him all the way up above them holding his might sword high about to cleave him some fuckin’ evil.
