Shin Asuka shared a photo.
May 23, 2017

Ok, so I was intending on making a video post for some plastic model review but I figured this should work better. The thing is that this model here is a kitbash based on something I've recently remembered, which is fucking weird.

because i sure as hell never lived near a hangar filled with these giant robots. either ways are there weird shit that you guys remembered out of the blue and am i supposed to start expecting even more of these now?

Chloe Bouchard I would be prepared to see more.
Chloe Bouchard Most, if not all of us, have suffered from strange hallucinations of other people's lives that look alarmingly like us.
Chloe Bouchard Amongst other things.

Shinn Asuka hoo boy...
Shinn Asuka as if being shrunk down wasn't weird enough already...
Shinn Asuka though i guess there's some silver lining in these. i have a bunch more things to kitbash now.

Chloe Bouchard There's always a silver lining.
Chloe Bouchard Though I am not entirely sure what "Kitbashing" is.
Chloe Bouchard My English is very good, but it isn't that good.
Chloe Bouchard And just how large were these things when you saw them?

Shinn Asuka oh kitbashing refers to when you make a new model kit by mashing together pieces from different model kits.
Shinn Asuka course it'd look like a frankenstein's monster if you don't paint it over, so i do those too to make it look consistent.

Chloe Bouchard Oh, I see! You're a model enthusiast in that case!
Chloe Bouchard I had seen those once or twice when I would visit hobby shops to help with potting plants.
Chloe Bouchard And these things you saw in the hallucination, they were like 'mash ups' of models you work with?

Shinn Asuka kind of, some of its parts don't look like it came from any of the models i was working on.
Shinn Asuka so i had to improvise by altering existing pieces, by a combination of cutting, gluing and painting over.
Shinn Asuka well i did this by using 1/144 kits which probably makes them about the size of a tall building? give or take several meters at least.

Chloe Bouchard That's a little frightening, imagining a robot of that size.
Chloe Bouchard Some of the items and things from people's hallucinations have appeared here, just so you know.
Chloe Bouchard I sincerely hope that this doesn't make an appearance.
Chloe Bouchard I suspect the reasons are obvious.

Shinn Asuka as much as i want this to happen so badly.
Shinn Asuka yeah i don't think i want this to be real if only because of the amount of red tape that will be involved.
Shinn Asuka but wouldn't it be cool? to see something from your childhood dream being real?

Chloe Bouchard There are decidedly worse possibilities, I suppose.
Chloe Bouchard And, let us say it was just at the edge of town, where it could show off and not hurt anyone.
Chloe Bouchard It might not be quite so bad.
Chloe Bouchard We seem to have survived human sized dragons, so I guess we could deal with this too.
Chloe Bouchard It's just a little alarming?

Shin Asuka yeah still, how would you hide such a huge thing like that in a forest? :\ you'd require military help to house this thing and to maintain them.
Shin Asuka wait hold up
Shin Asuka dragons?

Chloe Bouchard Almost certainly, which would make it troublesome at best, though who can say that there wouldn't be something established if it happened?
Chloe Bouchard Chocobos did not appear without it being possible for them to be cared for, after all.
Chloe Bouchard Yes, a dragon. I don't know any other way to describe it.
Chloe Bouchard It was friendly, though, surprisingly enough.

Shin Asuka hm true, so i guess there's that.
Shin Asuka well that's pretty neat actually.
Shin Asuka still, must be quite the surprise to just meet a dragon like that.

Chloe Bouchard I was scared at first, obviously.
Chloe Bouchard It seems rather friendly, however, and while I wouldn't say it's domesticated it obeys its master.
Chloe Bouchard I knew something was going on when nobody else reacted to it.
