Gundam Modeling Discussion

The point of this thread is to get a good discussion going on Gundam modeling and Gundam models in general. I guess I'll start the conversation with 1 question.

[b]How many Gundam models do you have and what are they?[/b]

I have roughly 75 models. I have all the "Bandai Japan Endless Waltz 1/100 Scale Model Kits" and most of the other Gundam Wing kits. I have every 08th MS Team model kits, and about other UC model kits. My most recent purchase was the "MSZ-010 Double Zeta ZZ Gundam Model Kit 1/144 Scale".

It looks like this:[img]http://store6.yimg.com/I/littlethingsmeanalot_1737_74691208[/img]

Recently I have been saving up to get a "Gundam SEED Buster Gundam Model Kit 1/100". It looks so cool, I can't wait to get it.

Well I have a few 1/144th models of various Gundam Wing models. I have only a few 1/100 models. They are Wing Gundam, Wing Gundam Zero, Gundam Epyon, Shenlong Gundam, and Shining Gundam. I'd would kill to get one of those Perfect Grades or Master Grade model kits. I'd really like to get a 1/60 model kit from Char's Counterattack. I heard those were fun.

Hmm, let me think for a moment.

[b]1/100th's[/b]

Wing Gundam
Wing Gundam Zero
Deathscythe Hell
Altron Gundam
Gundam Epyon

[b]Others[/b] (Not sure of size/level)

Zaku IIs (Red Comet Zaku)
Gelgoog Jaeger
Hygog


I think that should be all. Now for my opinions

First off if anyone can get a hold of the Zaku IIs (I think a Level 6) do so, quickly. This is the best one I have. First off the chest opens to reveal Char in the chair and the engine (I think) next to him. Also the area where the feet join the legs opens to reveal hydralics. It also has a massive collection of weapons (2 Sturm Faust rockets, 1 Machine Gun with extra ammo set, 1 Bazooka and 1 tank cannon).

Now as for the Hygog and Jaeger (both level 3, IIRC) do not bother. They have a low part count and thus do not look as nice.

Definately get the 1/100ths from Gundam Wing (if you like that show). Very well designed, including the transfromations on Wing, Wing Zero and Epyon. The only one I have any problem with is the Deathscythe Hell. The problem is that the twin beam scythe is too heavy for the hands to hold (with the clear/green plastic "blades"), but other then that it is great.

I only got 2 models. The Gundam X Divider. I forget the grade but I think its the highest. The second is my most prized anime based item: Gundam Wing Zero Custom Perfect Grade. Its totally awesome. Took me about a week to build and cost me $150 but it was worth it. I don't got a pic but just enter the name into any internet search engine and they pretty much the same pictures everyone has. I just wish they made like a metal version of it because its so fragile. Though doing so would make this thing even more heavier :) It could have been the ultimate toy...

[color=red][font=times new roman]Well I havent done much gundam modeling in awhile...Ive actually lost most of my models in moves... :bawl:

Ummm the ones that I have left are...

2 MGs...Chars Zaku II and a Gouf...I really hated the stupid pipes on around the waist and such on both of these...They where such a hassle...

And lets see...2 HGs...Gelgoog Marine and a DOM...THere ok dont have the greatest detail and some of the colors are off but that was easily fixed...

Oh and my fav my PG Gundam RX-78-2...It took me quite awhile to asemble this big boy but he sure is impressive looking...The biggest pain about the thing was doing the wiring for the light-up eyes...grrr... :p

I may get back into modeling again I dunno...Sure would like to make some of the other PGs...Those things are mad fun to make :devil: [/font][/color]

Let's see...I don't have a lot of Gundams, next to nothing, really. That's because of the fact that a.) I don't have money b.) When I get money, I use it to fuel my Zoid model ambition c.) The only store that sells Gundam models is Target, which is 15 miles from my house.
Anyways, the ones I actually do have are
Dragon Gundam
Shining Gundam
Rising Gundam
...and DG and SG are both broken, so only my RG is in tact. Not too bad, I mean, my favorite one is Rising Gundam. :crying: SAI SAICI'S GUNDAM IS BROKEN!!! :bawl: *sniffle sniffle* I'm married to Sai Saici, ya know.

Don't feel like explaning... Most recent is God Gundam, 1/100 master grade (fully painted). My next one that I'm going to get is a version RX78-2.

I'm a newbie so I'm hoping that evryone here paints there models and when they say 1/100 its a master grade, and if not you should say so.

Yea you really should paint your models, at first you might not want to but it makes a really big difference.
