December MeleeMonth Work in progress 3
🕑 Added 2022-11-27 06:25:26 +0000 UTCSo it's been almost 3 years, and I leave my house for 1(one) day, and I get Covid, which is literally just my luck. (I do leave the house to get food and stuff, but by and large, I don't interact with the public any more then I need to.) This might not be as bad(?) a thing if I didn't already have lupus, bunch of Dr. visits and I'm hoping it doesn't get any more serious then the current symptoms I already have, but it's looking like it's pretty mild, and I'm just resting up~
That said, it is impeding the last few things I want to do with this kit. I'll probably do one more main piece to this and call it a day~
Besides that nonsense update, here's another render set of more things I've been puttering with between rest and the like.
I modeled up some auxiliary arms, and to be completely honest, I have no idea why I hadn't done this before. They're so darn useful xD And more swords to mess with.
I've also added an alt 6 socket torso. While you can set this up with 6 arms, I mostly made it for auxiliary stuff, but really, it's just more options: The six socket config has no poseability to the thrusters, and only has the one variant. with no caps to cover the sockets, but can be assembled without a thruster pack. The 4 socket has the standard HindsightV.2 setup, rotational movement on the thruster, and a couple variants to the thrusters as well as caps to swap for the back sockets.
I'm pleased that even if the melee bits aren't your thing, there's a lot of useful stuff in here to keep you busy regardless~
This'll probably be the last work in progress set for this month while I wrap things up and get stuff over to Atlas for presupports.

There's a scaling .txt in the fileset for scaling the ball joints on the hands to fit other kits, but it's pretty safe to assume, that with a bit of scaling, almost all my kits are compatible with each other~ I have seen some pretty cool melee sturgeon in the discord so that one specifically works pretty well~ ~Pipes
Krarn
Is the melee kit suitable for the sturgeon too
Maximise
Love these, probable gonna use some for my gunpla as well
Ragathiel
Anime energy with these is off the charts, and that is *not* a criticism!
Zadkiel
Take care of yourself for sure...and is that the spear from NGE I see? lol
Dustbot
Looks like a really fun build. Please do take care of yourself; COVID is not fun even for someone who isn't immunocompromised
Justin Bisig
Looooove the last rendering pose. Definitely gonna have to try it out. Please take care of yourself
Bacour
Take care of yourself first! Your fans will be here when you return.
Sawyer Topovski
I hope you get well soon! Please don't push yourself too hard.

Another great set . Kudos. Keep it up.
DeMante
I'm getting all kinds of Gundam goosebumps, and I like it!
Martin Blasko
oh no, please don't tempt me with the 6 armed torso, I will just have to pick that one, love it! I wish you a speedy recovery and mildest possible symptoms! Get well soon!

Needs. More. Swords. 😎 That pink and white one though, wow! I love the arms!! Hope you’re going to give some assembly instructions for that one. And I feel ya about the Covid. My wife and I have secondary health problems, and haven’t willingly been in a public building for years now. It’s really stressful. I don’t know what country you’re in, but here in America everyone just treats it like it’s all over. I get it, it’s tiring to care, but the utter lack of ANY polite precaution is infuriating. Don’t be surprised if the Covid makes you feel like doing NOTHING soon. Take it easy, and just rest. We’ll still be here!

I bought most of the older stuff via the website. With the supporters discount they are very reasonably priced.

"Hello there!" (had to be done ;) )

I definitely don't speak for everyone, only myself, but if you ever wanted to take time off I would be more than happy to receive your earlier releases because I joined much later than that. Oh and obviously hope you feel better. And I love this set, probably the most important one for me since I'm not doing wargaming atm.
Kyle Bentley
That's awful to hear. I hope things stay mild and you recover quickly. Take your time and rest, you deserve it. On the modeling side, the new weapons and other attachments all look awesome!

Hope you get over it quick! I just want to say your mockup poses get me super excited to print all these parts, but then when it comes time to build I have no clue where to begin (or even if I have the right parts). If there was ever free time (HA HA HA) it would be cool to get a parts breakdown of how some designs were cobbled together- maybe posted on discord? Kind of like how some of the Lego builders will list out pieces they use. It'd be cool if people who come up with neat designs could give us dullards some insight on how to build up the crazy stuff. At least all my Gobys are unique and funky, if just a bit jealous of all these close combat variations!

I work for a tribal government office, we have had 4 scares since I started. We also keep tests on hand for anyone in the tribe to come in and get. Luckily I'm in the accounting department so I don't get much exposure. Downside, I also have respiratory issues, so if it hits... I don't wanna think about it. Can't blame you, Qubeley is one of my favorite MS... And I'm just processing that my prints for this army are all painted in the mass production colors. Well, I guess I know what I'm doing next.

It's a struggle, and it's so frustrating x'D But I at least know how I got it (one of the last follow ups on the stuff I got done back in June when I took a break), and that it was *mostly* unavoidable because of this. I do wish people would take it a bit more seriously, like...if you have covid, maybe don't go to a public office, where you're exposing all of your patients, especially when one of them has an autoimmune disease. Like you could have just rescheduled x'D Bit salty about that. Anyway, yeah Qubeley and Kshatriya, big influences on that pose~

1) I'm now terrified of dealing with the public, you and some of the other more almost homebody people I know getting sick this round with the Rona... What's an introvert to do?!? 2) in all seriousness, I hope you get better soon. Don't push yourself. 3) dat almost Quebely... I didn't know I needed it, and now I do.

Please don’t risk your health!

Hope you get well soon!
