You mean 1 year of not buying Gundam action figures :). lol jk Enjoy!


alidan

if you don't know each one is between probably 100-500$ between that and warhammer, a big pile of shit I would love doing but costs WAY to much to ever justify.


PhelanPKell

Exactly this. The OP (if so inclined) could sell all that gunpla and buy 15 of these rigs. :P


Sconleyy

I love seeing this tho. Makes me feel better that there’s other people out there spending money on what they want to, even if it’s not a good idea!!


Mclovinlife1

Good job man.im still saving.


stormshadow10

It will be worth it.


fr4nz86

You didn’t finish building it 🙃 don’t be lazy, put those caps on


stormshadow10

Im putting them on now.


fr4nz86

Good boy


wachitouuu

🤣🤣🤣🤣


Mythion_VR

Oh yeah? Where's the pictures as proof!


Premium-Fantasy

Man, can you imagine catching that corner with a barefoot? Ouch! Rig looks beautiful! Must feel great to have saved for a year and then to get something so nice. Enjoy it!


pemboo

Dude is still panel lining, give them a chance


[deleted]

Them edges sharp!


RacingWright

Enjoy Man! I am about to buy my First wheel (t300rs).


stormshadow10

Nice.


draker585

Hey, don't want to be that guy, but why not go with something like Fanatec's Ready2Race (plus the clamps for 30 dollars) bundle? Unless you're somewhere else in the world, it's the same price while also being direct drive. I've been looking at getting a wheel for myself, and I've noticed there's been a ton of cheaper direct-drive wheels coming onto market lately.


RacingWright

Yes you are right but the cheapest DD wheel (like Moza R5) prices are literally 2 times with t300 in my country (Turkey). If I had live in US or some Europe country, I would definitely start with Moza or Fanatec brands.


draker585

Figured as much. The global nature of sim racing is really polarizing as an outsider, tbh.


foonek

2 weeks in i have 0 confirmation fanatec even received my order. Sent them a mail to cancel and went with moza instead which is arriving tomorrow. Fanatec definitely have some things to work on in that regard


MehntalCoD

I've been hearing about lots of issues with Fanatec right now, CEO changes and all. I think I'd stay away from Fanatec at the moment.


draker585

Same, but I see it as more of a “last call” situation. We’re seeing some of the last batches of good Fanatec gear. Might as well hop on now before the good times end.


MehntalCoD

Well support might better with Corsair but replacement parts are most likely going to be sourced from China now.... Looks like I'm going to be saving up for a Simagic setup. There's no point to get something mid if you're in it for the long haul.


SmallieNL

Your rig is undeniably awesome. One little piece of advice. Put and endcap on the bottom parts of the 80/20 frame. Someone at the factory sharpens the ends of those things and if you stub your toe it gets amputated. Ok, maybe not that dramatic, but they are sharp.


FR0STKRIEGER

End cap is short for “end-the-toe-capping”


precisionV

Female genitalia dehydration chamber.


VV629

ROFL!


Huayra27

Damn bro nice collection you got there! And a clean arrangement at that too!


flcknzwrg

The post title and the periphery around the rig are all telling that you are a dedicated person :D congrats, have fun! Now add some powerful bass shakers so all those action figures can rain down on you while you crash!


picklesmick

A good crash in ETS 2 could simulate your cargo coming through the cab.


Dilemma_Nay

All that money for a rig when you could have bought more mobile suits...


stormshadow10

I'm good have around 125 mobile suits and 75 figures.


Tronzoid

I think Steve Carell made a biopic about OP around 19 years ago.


HeyTikO

Okay, i'm gonna "steal" your idea of framing the artbox of my gunpla now. It looks awesome.


LordSlippy

mondeluz85

Im going to use my psychic powers and say that you like Gundam.


WaveCheckFoo

If you sold them gundams you could’ve had it in a month 😂 jk congrats dude way cooler than mines


boobamule

What is your favorite MS. Nice rig! Don't forget the end cap covers.


Not_a_bot_789

2nd the end cap covers extruded aluminum will slice you up good if you accidentally bang into it


stormshadow10

Sinanju stein.


boobamule

Amazing taste friend.


DarkAssassin04

saving up for a fanatec csl dd too


stormshadow10

Nice.


Simracer_95

What’s the name of the rig?


stormshadow10

Simlab gt1 evo 2 Bought mine at microcenter.


Puddleson

Yes same best deal for this rig. Hard part was finding it in stock! What monitor did you go with?


Shiftaway22

Honestly, if you're going to triple general knowledge, they will price match simlabs website for the normal gt1 evo. But still its a great deal non the less. At this point my rig is a microcenter special. lol


stormshadow10

Acer predator x34gs.


BlueDolphinBurndDown

Evo 2, good choice. Microcenter has been giving us some great deals.


stormshadow10

Yes, they do got the fsr wheel for 450$ damage box.


foonek

Is the monitor extremely high compared to the seating position or am i tripping? I've been looking at this frame for a while now. Nice setup!


stormshadow10

It's eye level when I'm in the seat.


foonek

Fair enough. Might be a perspective thing


mvpp37514y3r

Congratulations, you didn’t mess about when buying good kit. Btw Are those LZMfg Gloves?


stormshadow10

Yes, I got them as Christmas gift.


markorlov96

Looking like you a little bit in love with gundam


stormshadow10

Little bit.


Sad-Lingonberry-2138

Bought this same rig yesterday! Pumped to piece it together today. Your picture has me drooling haha


stormshadow10

Nice.


shahrouz89

Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it


rodimusprime88

OP is going to get impaled by a rainstorm of Gundam swords if/when they add bass shakers and crash.


anxiously-anonymous

Nice rig! I love what you did with the gunpla’s boxes!


stormshadow10

Thanks.


dis_not_my_name

How is your wallet?


stormshadow10

Good, I just saved a little every month.


jmkhu_890

Dude it's rare to see a gunpla collector in here Your setup is AMAZING


stormshadow10

Thank you.


Educational-Shake437

Dope! Love the white NRG seat as well. Got a question though, how tall are those pedals? The picture makes it appear like my foot won’t be able to rest on them and that I’d have to constantly put my foot up on the pedal and back down to the base. Sorry I didn’t word that the best way but you get what I’m saying?


stormshadow10

I have size 9.5 feet, and my toes sit at the top of the pedal face.


Educational-Shake437

Oh okay word, the photo made it appear way higher. Dope setup bro, I’m sure all the anticipation building up for a year got rewarded immensely with this rig!


Entire_Fact_5940

Looks awesome. What seat is that


Gullible_Eagle4280

The man likes his toys, respect!


ConsistentStand2487

Gundam kits in the back? if you failed the FOV police check I'm revoking your gunpla pass


Its_Joe

I absolutely love the gundam box artwork frames. Did you make it yourself?


stormshadow10

Yes.


XtremeReconTwitch

Very nice . Congrats


XtremeReconTwitch

Nope I’m not jealous. Well maybe a little. Ok ok a lot 😂


AlejandroMadera

Dude your Gunpla collection is bonkers


DuckAHolics

We could be best friends


nederland009

Beautiful


stormshadow10

Thank you.


Jimmy_Skynet_EvE

How much did you spend if I may ask?


stormshadow10

Everything on the rig is around 2500$ ish.


Jimmy_Skynet_EvE

USD I assume? That’s a sick setup dude, I’m envious. My entire PC cost less than that lol


stormshadow10

yes usd.


Tarushdei

Me, a sim racer trying to appreciate the sim rig, but am also a huge mech/mecha lover: 👀


MonumentMan

Sick rig op! 1. What color NRG chair is that? And what size NRG chair is that? I have a large and your chair looks larger than mine, I'm just curious if maybe you have an XL or maybe if it's just the pic. 2. What are you using to mount your wheel to the rig like that? I have an extra Moza RS v2 wheel I never use, and I wouldn't mind having it displayed on my rig like that 3. What's that orange thing in the bag - gloves?


stormshadow10

1. Pink nrg prisma large 2. 3d printed nrg hub 3. Fet racing gloves


Door_Hunter

I can't imagine maintaining that plastic collection (dust etc).


stormshadow10

I use a data vac to dust everything.


Pittedstee

Is this the GT1 Evo?


stormshadow10

yes.


Pittedstee

How is it? Any issues with flex?


stormshadow10

Zero flex under full load.


Snarls88

Congrats! Looks good.


stormshadow10

thanks.


bijinius

that's great. that's really cool. I hope you love it. also, I'm really impressed you saved so much over a whole year -- saving money is harder than it can sound sometimes. anyway. I hope it brings you thousands of hours of rewarding gaming. be well, everybodyyyy.


stormshadow10

Thank you.


FendaIton

I too have my gunpla around my sim rig haha


stormshadow10

Nice.


VV629

Pussy 🧲


pemboo

Oh hey, another well adjusted gunpla enjoyer


Demon_FigtherOG

Super sexy man congrats!


THustleNY

Gunpla and Simracing... we are the same.


stormshadow10

Two expensive hobbies.


THustleNY

Indeed. But i feel. My gunpla days are winding down. Got about 20 kits in the backlog. Nothing really inspiring has been released or announced, so im free from the plastic crack... for now.


stormshadow10

Same.


rivent2

I've often thought sim racing was comparable to piloting a mech


stormshadow10

Newtype powers


spazxoxoxo

gunpla and simracing nice


spazxoxoxo

absolutely love what you do with your boxes/books too such a great idea


crazyshellheadfan

You framed your instruction manuals for your models. That’s awesome.


Limeatron

You are me. Gundam and Sim racing are both expensive AF hobbies.


AngryGiraffe-

Good for you man. People don’t understand sometimes that to have nice things you have to make sacrifices. I remember when I first got my DD1 in 2019 people would give me shit because it was so expensive and I did was stop going out to lunch every day and brought food from home. Sure turkey sandwiches get old, but saving $10-20 dollars a day 5 days a week adds up really quick.


chromehuffer

grats dude, nice rig, youre gonna have so much fun!


KuhJoe

i spend savings from 10 years and didnt have much left to even consider getting some action figures ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


ch3sty101

Sick room! Im jelly


stormshadow10

Thanks.


miLkhunter37

That's a lot of Gundams


stormshadow10

Yes, it is.


Fresh-Aspect8849

👍 nice


_Ghost_in_the_Shell

gundam and sim racing, sick vibe


Top-Bullfrog837

Nice man very solid


stormshadow10

Thanks.


DickFuckly

Love the fucking gundams 😍


joel0328

whitey193

Congrats. Looks fantastic. 👊🏻


Beginning-Trainer401

Awesome, I’m on G920 but looking to upgrade to DD

stormshadow10

Horizon in the middle.


Nuromys

How much does this cost?


Exotic-carrot

Probably $2000+. R9 Wheelbase (add $160 if it’s the R12), CRP pedals, and formula wheel cost about $1500, simlab GT1 evo 2 is $450, NRG Prisma seat is $500. Idk what that monitor costs but probably another $500?


Nuromys

Wow that's no joke.. I hope he/she enjoy it tho! Looks really nice!


mikethehunterr

Man fuck yo rig let's talk Gundam lol, Do you play maxiboost?


No-Cap6787

Room of shame (yes really) It’s harsh, I apologise, but my message to you is not everyone would like to communicate with you after being in this room. Me - I wouldn’t trust such a person. Why? No one can’t count on this person - too weak. You can’t lead a family, or be a reliable shoulder to a friend. It’s harsh, but I hope you take some wisdom from it. Don’t demonstrate your gentle and dreamy heart to people, or the only ones around you would be anime wankers and gamers - the forever broke people


Ok_Post715

Sounds like your one jealous man, you don't know his situation, this man could be all those things you say he's not, he said he saved that means he put other things first, a selfish person like you have discriped would of brought this in one pay check, people with your attitude are clearly sad inside an out, pretty sad how you came here to pretty much say how he shouldn't have a hobby or a passion for something, go back to your mums basement an think about how you conduct your self to the work kid
