As there's no "Giant Robot" subforum, I'll have to post this here

[TimeChaser]

I haven't put together a Gundam model in over 6 years. But when I saw my roommate building Gundam Exia, and then some of the mechs from Code Geass... poor TimeChaser had a nostalgic craving. So, while home for Thanksgiving break, I dragged my ass to a hobby shop that I knew had imported Gundam models, and got myself an affordable Gundam Virtue kit ($20... I'm sadly not rich or crazy enough to get the $60 kit, as delicious as it looked)








Sadly, it didn't come with a model of the pilot, the lovely (and cross-dressing disguises aside, MALE) Tieria


Yes. TimeChaser's a nerd
btw, that reminds me... we haven't had a "Cartoon crushes" thread in a long time. Maybe I should start one?

1. That's SO weird! I was watching a Gundam series on CN last night, and

I was missing making Gundam models SO much! My Ex and I used to do them all the time...so fun.

:hi:

[TimeChaser]

2. Do you remember which series it was?

Wing was my favorite until I watched 00. I think it's the combination of weird politics + giant mecha :)

[bicentennial_baby]

4. It definitely wasn't Wing, which is my favorite...

May have been 00. It wasn't super familiar to me.

Based on my former Wing addiction, I did have the urge to yell out "Watch out! IT'S A GUNDAM!!"

:P

[TimeChaser]

7. Ooh, so which of the Wing boys was your favorite?

I was once a crazy Duo fangirl ^^;

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Oh, Duo all the way...

I had posters of him... :rofl:

[TimeChaser]

11. Oooh lucky!

I had a poster with all the boys, but I never found one with just Duo. I do still have my Deathscythe tshirt, though XD

16. My fiancee's favorite:

3. Speaking of Giant Robot.

I just discovered a shitload of Johnny Sako shows on Hulu.com.

Anyone pushing fifty oughta check it out.

5. Neeeeeerd!

... then again, this is coming from somebody who used to earn extra cash on the side by making and selling http://www.stickmanltd.com/cheapsabers/newcustom.html">lightsabers on eBay. :P

[TimeChaser]

6. Lightsabers?

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd!
:P

9. The difference between us is...

I can whack people on the head with my nerdy creation if they give me lip 'bout it. :evilgrin:

12. Just the other day I was thinking to myself "we should have a giant robot forum"

what are the odds of that? As for cartoon crushes, the guy who wasn't Johnny's dad in Johnny Quest.

[Iggo]

13. Race Bannon.

[Connonym]

14. yeah, he's a hottie

way hotter than the guys on Scoobie Doo

[Iggo]

15. Soon as my hair goes all the way white...

...and I get like 20 years younger, I'm gonna look just like him!

:rofl:

[Connonym]

17. don't tell me that, you'll end up with me stalking you!

:-P

[quakerboy]

18. So, whats it do?

[MrSlayer]

19. I thought this was going to be a Johnny Sokko reference.

[Iggo]

20. See Reply #3.

:hi:

[TimeChaser]

21. Well, I would have said "mecha,"

but I didn't want to confuse the non-nerd Loungers :hi:

[keroro gunsou]

22. TC check out

macross frontier. i swear the mecha designers decided to play pimp my valkyrie with that show.

[Danger Mouse]

23. Hey! I remember you!

I forget why...

[ACTION BASTARD]

24. I'm more of a Big O fan. I had no idea about the cross dressing

shenanigans going on in the Gundam stuff. Mind blown.

[TimeChaser]

25. Well it was sort of a one-time thing.

A disguise at a party. But it still makes me a happy fangirl XD

The really funny thing, is that the fandom's never been 100% sure of Tieria's gender, although we were all pretty certain he was male. However, we got our final confirmation that he's a guy while he was dressed as a woman.


Big O *is* pretty awesome, though :hi:

[Giant Robot]

26. I always thought there should be a Giant Robot forum

I was always a Johnny Sokko nerd.
