May as well repost here.

That upcoming bootleg Hazel is a kit based on the Metal Robot Damashii. Meaning it's non scale.

Meaning it will look odd next to your AoZs. Assuming you even care about that, considering the HG HZII is gigantic. No, I will not stop bringing it up.

depends on the depiction I think, some are pretty similar. But it is true that Hazel is usually at least a little slimmer and that has only become more common over time so I can understand people preferring the AK kit's proportions.
Personally I'm partial to the more bulky look. There's this interesting dynamic where Hazel is that chunky, almost cumbersome wannabe Gundam that gets even more weighted down and modified to keep pushing it beyond any reasonable limit to keep mimicking the Gundam. The bulky legs in particular are important for that IMO, it's the biggest departure from the humanoid silhouette.
Of course Hazel is a Gundam through and through but this undercurrent of *fake vs real" is central to its characteristics.
Especially when you also consider the contrast with Woundwort. That one is stranger and far more out there and yet there's that sense of sublime refinement and sophistication that makes it feel like a more "authentic" Gundam.

AK/EW models are fantastic in my experience, basically on par with Bandai molding and even engineering for their original stuff. That's why they tend to be more pricy than crappier bootlegs like XFS, though usually still a tad cheaper than legit kits and don't have to worry about scalping.

You're gonna be hard pressed to find these sorts of numbers for most things, let alone see them used consistently or treated as anything more than a completely arbitrary number with no greater meaning.

so what caused it be Penelope tier in kit form? was Fujioka tripping when he slapped all that shit on the TR6 and claimed it's roughly ExS size?
>>
>>23961806
it's just how the kit turned out, proportionally it tracks with Woundwort's slightly upsized dimensions which in turn make for much more reasonable engineering and better part compatibility with other kits.
It's not like Fujioka or most other mecha designers have direct control over how the model kits are made anyway. In the first place this is using the now 20 year old design from Flag of Titans that was never totally finished rather than the modern Reboot refined version
>>
>>23961808
I don't understand why Bandai scaled the height to be the standard 18m when the Woundwort should be closer to 16 or so. That was the root of it right there.
>>
>>23961809
like I said, easier to engineer and to make it compatible with other kits which is one of its main gimmicks. It'd be really difficult to include the transformation and decent articulation if you make the whole thing like 15% smaller or whatever. And sticking Hizack or Hazel legs onto it would also look a bit off in comparison.
Besides, people are way too hung up on Woundwort's height when it was never really set in stone beyond one or two rough ideas. The kit's designer said this size is based on setting materials anyway.

I don't think this is the AK bootleg

Yeah Woundwort is supposed to be tiny and baloons to 19 meters tall upon Hazen Thley customization. It is not that hard to connect the dots. He never claimed Woundwort to be like 18 meters tall or someshit.

So at what point do hazels start clearing zeta/zz era tech? Like is the Hazel Rah better than the MK-II/MK-III/Zeta/ZZ? Or the hazenthley? I just don't get it...

>>
>>23962273
Hazel Rah is said to be about on par or slightly ahead of Anaheim's contemporary binder-equipped mobile suits with Hyaku Shiki and Gundam Mk-III cited as examples, though this is with the caveat of Hrududu being not only much larger but also imbalanced and therefore more difficult to use in practice. This can be compensated for by using two sets for Hazel Rah Second Form, but then agility and range of movement are sacrificed and it functions more like a mobile armor, akin to a cute and tiny Dendrobium.

I don't really care for comparing specs in most cases, but especially when TR-1 Haze'n-thley doesn't even have listed specs. But based on descriptions I don't think it's quite on the same level, though not far off either.
TR-1 Haze'n-thley is the point where Hazel was so thoroughly upgraded there are virtually no Quel parts left (strictly speaking even at Hazel Custom stage they were all heavily tuned up) and it's the peak of TR-1 series, but I don't think it's an equal to TR-6 Haze'n-thley II which is set as a counter and parallel to S Gundam.
There are obviously a lot of factors that muddy it up and can't be compared directly, plus since TR-1 Haze'n-thley can interface with the entire TR-6 weapon system and adapt but if we're talking about simply the suit as presented I'd put it at least a smidge below S Gundam, maybe akin to Zeta and such.

Reposting a Messer build I did because it got me thinking.

The Messer can use it's back skirts as lift surfaces to improve atmospheric flight capability. It does so in the movies.

The Gouf Flight Type had rustic little wings on the side of it's skirt to improve flying ability.

I think it's stated somewhere in the lore that some Zeon engineers were Paperclip'd into working on the TR Project designs. The Icarus Hazel is an improvement of the atmospheric flight ideas of the Gouf.

Hathatway's Flash is removed enough from the Gryps era that there is no telling where designs idea from the time went. So it's interesting that the Messer is bringing back some elements first seen on the Flight Type.

So the Messer could very much trace part of it's genealogy back to the Hazel and it's flight ideas. It's also interesting that the Gustav Karl achieves flight through sheer thrust like the Hazel Icarus while the Messer uses lift surfaces like the Prototype Hazel Icarus.
>>
>>23966745
It’s certainly possible, though at this point it’s only mere speculation
>>
File: file.png (2.61 MB, 1896x1721)
2.61 MB PNG
>>23966745
I think there's something to it, if simply just the concept of using the waist as a mounting point for lifting and air maneuvering surfaces in addition or instead of the backpack. At it's core this is no different from backpack-mounted binders and stabilizers, but the different location allows for simplified backpack structure that focuses purely on thrust.
This is more optimal for a machine like Messer since it's not even attempting to truly fly, it focuses on gliding and hovering which is more practical for a suit of that size. But it is interesting how back with Proto Icarus this approach was deemed impractical as it wasn't aerodynamic enough.

And yeah, Titans were absolutely using lots and lots of Zeon data. They made a big spiel of having weapons made "by Earthnoids, for Earthnoids" but it's kinda inevitable some Spacenoid personnel wound up working for them, IIRC we have a few explicit examples even.

That said I wouldn't really compare Gustav Karl to Hazel Icarus, sure the base principle is the same but that's kind of just the standard. Even by the time of Gryps Conflict regular mobile suits like Marasai and Hyaku Shiki could fly by their own thrust, the limiting factor was somewhat reduced maneuverability and more importantly fuel capacity. They weren't at all optimized for it the way dedicated suits like Byarlant were. Gustav Karl is the same situation, it has enough juice for one or two "jumps" in the air after jumping off a SFS however that's it, the suit is more agile than it appears to be but it's still not at all made for aerial combat the way Messer is. And naturally both are not even comparable to Minovsky Flight-equipped machines.

Messer is a leftover tech from post Zeta era since most of the data made from Geara Doga and Sazabi. It's flight capability is probably from how improved the thruster technology is through out the years, including it's role as Xi Gundam's escort.

depends how far you're willing to go and still call it a GM III
ultimately it shares a ton of similarities with the base Hazel and it can swap backpacks to use the TR-spec one and pretty much all the support craft would work with it regardless
it could also receive the same leg modifications hazel did without all that much different of work most likely since the underlying base frame is still heavily a GM
In essence the only thing that makes the GM III not a Hazel is simply not having Hazel parts on it, which it could change out to get as easily as the Hazels were first made
>>
>>23971602
Unf man that looks pretty good. Vaguely Thunderbolt-ish.

The backpacks are explicitly compatible. So everything you see on a Hazel's back can work. The Hrududu II unit is also pretty much universally supposed to work with everything.

I swear to Christ alive that the Hyzenthlay II was added to EXVS. A version of it, anyway. This was a while ago. I wanna say 4 or 5 years? Can anyone substantiate my claim here? Because I went looking and didn't find anything. But I ain't making shit up, I remember.

I'm currently working on a project. I'm not particularly a big Gundam fan so I have 0 experience with the specifics. I ran into some deadends and I need you guys' help with figuring out things. The hip mount for one, is something I've been stuck on for months. How does it work?

I ain't crazy, I swear. I remember vividly. There was a thread on /m/ and everything. But I can't find it on the archive. Probably because everyone spells Hyzenthlay differently.

My problem with fan designs is that there is no clear artistic vision behind them. The artists just slap random shapes and mechanical bits together for 50 twitter shares.

Woundworto meido...
>>
>>23972324
Yeah but how does it work? I should probably add that I'm designing a 1/60 PG TR-6 with all the mechanics and transformations documented by Fujioka, but his designs arent exactly consistent.

The HG barely captures the design, and it partsforms a lot. Even the Metal Damashii couldnt help but partsform.

I know the hip mount is attached to the drum as well as the rectangular cutouts, but that's about all I got. They have to rotate 180 too.
>>
>>23973012
Lowkey your best bet is gonna be posting about this stuff on twitter, Fujioka is active there a lot and sometimes answers these sorts of questions

It's interesting but its not exactly very accurate to the source material, and it's missing the level of detail I'm looking for.

I'm going to the extreme to make every modular piece, ie the Drum Frame will have the hrududu mounts, the primrose II being used in a.hambrabi and barzam and such. Further more by "parts forming" I mean you should be able to remove pieces of the Wort from the Drum Frame and configure into Hyzenthley or whatever, without minor disassembly

I have to balance all of that along with structural integrity and articulation, as well as an inner frame. Maybe I'm insane but who knows.
>>
>>23973179
dude why the fuck are you doing this while not being a big fan?
>>
>>23973179
Woundwort can't become Hyzenthlay without structural changes, it shifts to a double drum frame which is essential to its separation and transformation features
I also second the other anon's question, the hell are you trying to get into this much detail for if you aren't a big fan? Seems strange to me especially when this is a really complicated machine from the pool of Gundam designs. Even in AoZ it's the top of the mountain for complexity. If you aren't a big fan aren't you just setting yourself up for problems?
>>
>>23973179
idk if you're doing it just for shits and giggles or to test yourself but godspeed

Modelled the ab pivot today. A lot of considerations but at least the Wort has a fairly large and exposed inner frame. Not sure how to secure the pivot for transformation, maybe a lock like an action base?

>>23973451
All the components that are on the drum frame are on a detachable clip mount, I will have to design a drum-to-drum mount for Hyzenthlay as well as Reboot Rah II

I know AK bootlegs are supposed to be on the high end price wise but the HG Hazel with all addons going for as much as a Hazenthley II Rah is a bit ridiculous
>>
>>23974396
I'm seeing them go for my equivalent of 30 USD (with shipping) and if you can show me where I can get a Haze'n-thley II for that price I'll post my feet pics for free
>>
>>23974398
Yeah just the Hazel isn't that expensive. I'll probably end up getting only the Hrududu out of all the addons
>>
>>23974396
How much would a Bandai Advanced Hazel plus the Hrududu and Primrose cost though? With all the price hikes those ain't exactly cheap like they used to.

Although yeah I ain't buying all the AK accessories. Mostly because the Hazel Rah Second Form is the last Hazel form I'm missing on the shelf.
>>
>>23974424
In theory it might be around the same ballpark or actually a bit cheaper but that's not accounting for shipping and assuming you are both buying directly from source (so no store cut let alone scalping) and they are all available which reads like a bad joke even as I write this.
Meanwhile AK's set is right there, one click away, any time.

i want to steal this idea. I've made my own GM-III concept with hyakushiki/nemo/mk-II parts but never thought of using hazel parts. No idea how to scratchbuild but i love this GM III based off hazel concept. Like a GM III if the federation wasn't broke.

Bummer. The drum frame doesn't work as I intended. I have to go back to the drawing board but I have no idea how to construct one. Again, I'm not too familiar with most Gundams so I'm struggling to make something that works.

What would happen if the woundwort was the size of a person and had a fully functional female AI like dolores from Zone of the enders?

He will touch The O eventually. Took him a long time to introduce Geymalk and and Zssa.

Best we've got for now is Hrairoo Rah II's butt having similar thruster config to The O. Besides all the sub arm stuff anyway.
I'd like to at least see something toting The O's beam rifle, preferably modified so the fuckass thing doesn't need dedicated E-Pacs to a different standard. It'd also be cool to see some kind of Titania reference somewhere.
>>23979261
Even these were sorta indirectly, Fenris Wolf takes after Geymalk but doesn't share many actual parts with it and Zssa is just a modified marine version of the booster, not the suit itself.
>>
Which kits do you guys put your enhanced booster shields on? I’ve had a hard time deciding what I want to do with them because of how little they show up in lineart
>>
>>23979013
Honest to god is the Woundwort even a gundam that can be recreated in 1/60 scale accurately, because I'm struggling to even figure out half the mechanics. I've got like 0 engineering background and 0 Gundam building background, am I just retarded or is it really that simple? I see too many modellers just build their Gundams like that, many of them make it transforming too.
>>
There's a million (bootleg) hazel kits. I heard there's a difference between them but I've never done AOZ before. Which one is the good one?
>>
>>23979395
I'll explain gwailo
>MG
there are three the Custom, Custom in deployment colors and Owsla
never built any but I heard they're pretty alright
>HG
Custom and Custom in deployment colors
again never built but heard it's alright
there is also a 1.5 HG made by AK in Custom, deployment and Black Hares colors
not out yet but given AK's track record I don't think they'll be anything less than solid
>>
>>23979402
By AK you mean the guys behind the Gundam Head GM spartan? Also I heard there are 3rd party accessories out there. Do they all work with every HG in the market?
>>
>>23979478
by and large yeah though they might need minor fitment adjustment. After all it's all based on Bandai kits
>>
>>23979478
>By AK you mean the guys behind the Gundam Head GM spartan?
yup
I have that kit and it's pretty good

>>23979478
>Also I heard there are 3rd party accessories out there. Do they all work with every HG in the market?
there are bootlegs of the Hrududu II and Gigantic Arms available also made by AK I think
they are coming out with the Primrose Hrududu and High Mobility parts
if they work with all HGs I have no idea

I'm curious how the wired arms would work here. On Engage Zero they have a whole control wire doohickey extending from the backpack and going through the elbow joint, the whole arm fires off instead of just the psycommu hand.
Naturally Barzam is a more sophisticated and refined machine rather than an early Titans Psycommu test unit so it's a different situation. I think it'd be cool to use the upper arm latches as mounting points for that, this way the arms proper could remain free and usable even when launching all-range attacks.
But at the same time the visual appeal of the whole arm launching is hard to deny.

Hrududu Holst is such a simple concept but it's so sexy
when the AK bootleg is out I'll see about trying to stick my Messala's boosters onto it. Then probably put the whole thing on a Hazel but maybe now, just the fighter alone is cool.
>>
Anyone know if the HG Gaplant Hrairoo Titans Color ver can equip a Hrududu II, to make a sort of revive version of the retail kit?
>>
>>23981049
You can. But it's not a revive. It's a 1.15 at best.
>>
>>23981049
Yeah it definitely can, the Gigantic Arm unit version is just that same kit in different colors + Hrududu II and the arms
>>
>>23981050
Yeah I know, I'm mainly just trying to thin out my backlog and I like the added part separation and hands on the Titans ver
>>23981051
Thanks anon, I hadn't even thought to check the gigantic arm ver despite the fact that I have one in the backlog lol
