Dancouga, super-robot genre in the 1980s now with modern CAD design and modern manufacturing techniques, manage to bring the figure from anime into physical form.
One of the unique kit in the SDCS which includes the Silhouette frame. Hence, there is no need to purchase the CS kit if you want to convert the Barbatos to use the Silhouette frame.
So far this is the best DStyle kit I have ever, the Optimus Prime build is fun and the mouth piece is movable. The finish model is highly detailed and not lacking accessories. This kit was found to be packed on Christmas of 2014.
An old kit which was first introduced in 2011, some stamp in the kit suggested that the kit was packed on 25th November 2011. This is a more primitive kit compared to most of the DStyle kit.
The most complicated part to build is the head unit.
First assuming that compatible hardware is available, get compatible SODIMM RAM. and identify type of hard disk your laptop can use.
General idea, check the laptop user manual to identify what are the maximum RAM that are supported total, what are the maximum RAM supported in a slot. And importantly does the motherboard chipset of your laptop supports SODIMM that are different capacity. Clock speed as long as its higher than the laptop spec, the motherboard chipset will automatically tune the RAM Clock speed to match the maximum speed supported by the motherboard.
For context, the old laptop for upgrade is an Acer Aspire E5-475 which comes with 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD that has an Intel i5-7200U CPU at 2.5GHz.
ScopeDog Turbo Custom is one of the more complicated DStyle model kit line from Kotobukiya. The ScopeDog is based on the anime series Armored Trooper VOTOMS which was first aired in 1983. The series was created, to jump on the real robot genre in the early 1980s. Despite aged hand drawn animation, the story has a charm of its own, battle in the animation is brutal and it is in the league of its own.
This model kit despite being Deformed, manage the catch the aesthetics of the VOTOM real robot.
A little bit of effort to search the net and encountering the solution, powershell will is a simple way to measure time spent executing a command. In Linux environment, time command can be used, but in this post, it is limited to Windows environment.
Based on the conventional wisdom from the documentation of Measure-Command of powershell. The command would be as follows:
Measure-Command {vagrant up}
However, by running the above powershell command, the output to the screen will be not available.
Conclusion, measure-command is easy way but lack of detail such as time spent on CPU, IDLE time and network operations time. It will not be suitable for use if more details are needed.
The plastic model kit is the rendition of ARX-7 Arbalest in the Full Metal Panic: Invisible Victory. Despite a 1/60 scale, it is just a small model after build. The impressive aspect of this kit is that it has good articulations and high detail, as what is expected from a modern model kit produced by Bandai.
It has been ages waiting for this product to be released by Bandai. Icing on the cake, Bandai just release this figure in its highly detailed and high-quality line collectible the Metal Build. Laevatein for fans of Full Metal Panic series knows it is a major upgrade of ARX-7 Arbalest after Sousuke defeated by Leonard.
It has some heft to the box and package, not overly complicated box art.
Nothing too fancy, from the back of the package, just overview of the Laevatein with accessories and how the base can be used as a weapon storage and display stand.
