If Earthian oppression is so bad, why is the Heindree Sturm so cool?

[puppygirlclaspers]

Oh yeah I forgot to show you all the absolutely massive gunpla order that came in the other day. Almost done with collecting all of the WFM kits!

Heindree Sturm!

This one was fun build, done in one sitting. I managed to use all the weapons on this one, AND the beam saber stays in the hand, so kudos to that.

Also, the price for "Head with the least amount of pieces" goes to this guy as well - I think.

I like it very much. I love the 'helmet'.

Got back into gunpla building with the Heindree Sturm this week. This was a solid build. The shoulder cannon is pretty cool. And the articulation on this one is pretty nice

[radiofreemagica]

Just because a new Mobile Suit exceeds Earth House's budget, that doesn't mean they can't acquire one through... alternative means.

Kit is HG Heindree Sturm, hand painted with the following colours:

Vallejo 72.027 Scurvy Green

Vallejo 72.025 Foul Green

Scalecolor Mojave White

Vallejo 71.070 Signal Red mixed with a drop of 71.071 Arctic Blue for the red highlights

A mecha detail I really love about Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

I’m sure multiple people have pointed this out already but I’ll say it again. You’ll notice the mecha in the Asticassia school tend to have more colorful paint jobs, fancy antennae/horns, and put a lot of focus on melee combat, which all help to give their mobile suits a noble or knightly air.

But outside, like on Earth or on Plant Quetta, the exact same models of mecha we see in the school are also being used by the military and corporate security forces, except they are up-armored, painted in dark or drab colors, have no fancy horns or embellishments (they’ll have extra optics/sensors/armor instead), and are bristling with long-range weaponry like extra beam cannons or rocket launchers. They are just built purely for war. 

It’s such a great detail that not only makes the world feel more realistic but also accentuates just how detached from reality the school has been.

(compare the Demi Trainer, Dilanza, Heindree, and Zowort to the Demi Garrison, Dilanza Sol, Heindree Sturm, and Zowort Heavy to see what I mean)

Man I watched and loved G Witch, but every time I see a gunpla for it I can only think of how much the non-main mobile suits did not leave any impression on me outside of the two suits used by the Earthians when Guel was on the planet. Like, these designs are sick as hell, I would have loved to see more of the Heindrees or Heindree Sturms, they're so fucking cool! If there is any evidence the show needed more episodes, it is just so I could have actually seen more mobile suits often enough for them to leave a bigger impression cause god damn are they good. I can't even find clips from the show easily it's all gunpla in the youtube search.

CFP-013 Heindree Sturm

Building this grunt was a tiny bit boring, it's very simple and easy compred to the hero and villain suits like Schwarzette and Aerial, but that long beam saber grip and overall design is really fun to pose.

My next build

[gruntsuits]

I keep track of the dates I finish building each of my gunpla, but did you know there's a way to see the month and year the kit was made, too?

This is one of the runners from my heindree sturm's kit. Now, since this kit has only really been released once because it's so new, it's pretty easy to just look up the date. But these dials can tell us anyway!

The left dial is the month: 1-9 for january through september, and then X, Y, and Z for october, november, and december. Other kits may use other letters, but that tells us this was made in May.

The right dial and surrounding info is the year. The decade of the original printing of the kit is represented by the two numbers in the corner, and the dial tells us which year in that decade we're looking at. May 2023 in this case, but again, we knew that already.

As for my gouf:

This version of the HGUC gouf kit was originally made in 2014, as we can tell by the copyright year beside bandai's logo, and the 10 next to the year dial. But this wasn't printed in 2012, so what gives?

See that little triangle? That means we add a decade to the numbers in the bottom left: this kit was printed in june 2022!

And finally, we have my z'gok:

This kit was originally run in 1999! I have friends younger than the original run of the HGUC z'gok. This is, however, the reprint from february of last year. There are three triangle notches, taking us from the 90's to the 2020's. As a fun note, this kit uses O, N, and D for the last three months of the year, instead of X, Y, and Z.

And while this info isn't terribly useful most of the time, it IS fun! And now you know.

[gruntsuits]

these are my first ever guys!

I bought the heindree sturm kit first and then wanted a couple other kits to practice with, so I got z'gok and gouf

z'gok was my first ever guy and he is very scuffed but I love him. he now guards my chapstick

G-Witch was an experience

Finally finished watching the show, half in Japanese with English subs and half in English dubs and I liked both, dubs was easier for me to follow as I could watch the show and understand it faster than trying to read while watching the scenes. The animations looked all pretty nice to me, the mecha designs were awesome, especially my beloved Lfrith Ur, Heindree Sturm and Darilbalde, characters were nice and distinct for the most part. Overall great looks, for me, someone who hasn't watched many anime recently. The characters themselves, tho, now that is a very different story. I don't think I really like any of them, and the only one I could identfy with would be the Earthians. Why would I side with terrorists? Because I think the entire world building is pretty dystopian! For one we have mega corporations ruling space. They have their own military forces and mega weapons, and seem to be able to declare war on one another and use Earth as battle ground? Even if I got that last part wrong, it's still terrifying, actual combat. Which brings me to the next terrible point, people are literal resources without any say or want! Who cares about actual political or financial skills? All you need is pilot a mobile suit and you are golden as partner! Just be a good spouse and protect Miorine, that's all you need to do. Nah, don't worry about blood lines, those are really not important, just be strong and able to fight. At least he show ends on a good note, with the big/important mega corporations being disolved and sold to Earthian companies. Would I recommend it? Yeah, I would, and did. Fun show with some strange main themes, but not bad. 7.5/10
