Gundam Models Discussion Thread

[Sworra]

Hey guys, quick modelling question, i'm trying to achieve a 'dark red' colour and i only use Tamiya spraypaints, i usually use Bright Red for my red parts but the i want to achieve a slightly darker red than the 'Bright Red.'

I looked at the tamiya website and i saw 'Mica Red', i recall that Mica spraypaints have a 'glittery' effect, is that true? What do you guys recommend?

The only thing i can suggest if you only use Tamyia spray paint is prime your pieces black and then use your red.

[SonicSP]

Anybody knows how to make Clear Pink?I need it to use it on my AD series models,some of their sabers dont look pink enough.[They look pink under bright light but alot like red when not immersed in one].And since the Tau models already use red,I dont want them to look too similar.

[GrimmReaperNL]

nope sorry, I used normal pink (gloss) for my BB strike's sword strike pack sword

[darkstrife]

Thanks for tip Sworra, i'm kinda new to primers, i bought one a while ago but havent got around to using it yet, the one i bought is this one:

http://www.hobbyco.com.au/product/show_item.php?plu=T87044

is that the right one?

In regards to making it dark red, i should prime the runners first, spraypaint it black, then spray it red (and maybe finish it off with a matt topcoat), is that pretty much it?

I simply spray on a _very_ light layer of Clear Red. Adding a tiny bit of Clear Red to Clear also works if you're handpainting, but achieving a uniform clear effect would be difficult because you're handbrushing unless you have godlike handbrushing skills.

If I'm understanding correctly, what you're saying is the beam blades are too dark. If so, it's impossible to lighten them because the more clear paint you add, the darker the colour will become. You'll have to put a base layer of white, then Fluorescent Pink which removes the clear effect altogether.

Yes, that's Tamiya's primer you're having there. And Yes.

Sorry i should of elaborate a bit here, When i mentioned black, black being that it acts as a primer to make a different colour react different to a top layer of a different colour used. You can use a primer if you want. That primer you have in the link is for making paint stick better and identifing scratches and seam lines.

But if you want to get a dark red your black does go on first then you spray your red. Make sure you dont over do it on the red, spray the red lightly over the black until you get your desired affect. One other thing make sure your black is cured, Let your parts dry at least a day or two before you attempt the red.

Where in Australia are you from? You could probably find other spray paints other then Tamyia if your around major cities like Sydney or Melbourne. I know you can't ship sprays internationally but you can try with in your own nation.. I will try and help you out best i can since i have contacts within both major cities in Australia.

Wow,I'm really loving 00Q's head right now.

[Haladflire65]

^ yeah, I prefer it to 00's head... The face looks more awesome :D

Now I'm already waiting for the movie mecha models... They're gonna rock :heh:

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

My opinion remains unchanged. That Gundam looks fucking PISSED OFF.

[X207]

lol, that makes sense. its predecessor had its GN drive jacked by almark. it might be sorely missing that 2nd original gn drive. i really love the quanta head, somehow the angry mode fits it very well.

[Okamidum]

The 00Q has one of the best gundam heads ive ever seen. In high detail it looks stunning. Period

[EMbr12]

I hve to agree that the head does look a bit angry... bt it looks quite dignified to me. Also, it rocks in high detail.

[Sinzz]

its pretty nice... but not as accurate as i first believed. its missing the vents in the upper head part on the side of the cameras behind the crest. but its not like i can do any better..

[Mrwei86]

I have a question about model kits..its about the ABS plastic ( the inner frame parts of the Gundam, usually black in colour).I believe most modelers have nightmares when the plastic suddenly turns white (signs of cracking) when connecting parts together or accidentally bending the plastic.I would like to know.... if the white decoloration happens but haven't crack or break yet, will it still last forever like normal plastic parts? or will it break eventually? I have build many Gundam models and I started realizing it when building the PG models..it has many ABS parts and it always started to turn white when i just connect it with another part.. hope every modelers can share their experience about this..really worried.

[GNWeapon]

I for one do not seem to have that issue upon assembly/connection. Turning white it will probably not break, but if more force is exerted overtime, it may just break.

Many thanks for the tips that i have received. I will start by testing it on a small piece first (is primer optional?). Also Sworra, you mentioned you have some suppliers that you know in Sydney, i like to know about some of them especially if they have paints (i.e Mr Hobby Topcoat Matt, my supplier always runs out of stock fast) or reasonably priced gundam kits

It's not accurate to the new lineart, but the model is based off the old 00 Qan[T] design shown in the movie trailer as evidenced by the yellow chest plate with lack of antennas, the circular GN Condenser and the white sidevent walls.

So if the parts is connected to another part and it turn white, the plastic wont break at all?:confused:

[GNWeapon]

For now it will not break, but its durability will not be that strong. Exert more force on it and it'll definitely break.
So in your case, which part exactly are you referring to?

it was quite tight when i connect it and it turn white(no cracks). So i was wondering will it be alright to leave it be? The structure of the parts can be seen in www.dalong.net PG 00 Raiser. As long as the force remains the same, does it mean it won't break too?:confused:

As far as my experience with ABS plastic pieces.. it's safe to say that it will not break for now. No gurantees in the future, but you're good for now.

I guess everything is not perfect.. i just straight build it without doing any errors and the plastic itself causes problems(good job Bandai:mad:)... so how long do u think it will last? 1 year? 2 year? If it did crack, is there a solution to repairing it? Getting a new model will really be a waste...:(

The clear parts are included as part of the "MG Clear Parts Campaign", which also includes many other MG's like the Victory Gundam. The Clear Parts won't be standard issue on the next batch of releases though AFAIK.

Until you see it's back. What's with the trigger hanging behind the head ? Clearly a side effect of reusing the Claymore from the Blue Frame without much thoughts put into the redesign process.

And I just had to say, why the clear parts on the crouch ? That is akin to modeling with a transparent pair of pants.

[Tormenk]

The oob colors are pretty good except for the gold, (It's hard to go wrong with white red and black anyway. Plus bandai has never done non-plated gold really well)
but the butchered design is still a turn-off. The Red Frame Kai doesn't stand out well enough on it's own design-wise after they slapped blue frame's sword on it. :/

[Sworra]

With the Red Frames Pack/Claymore/Bow n arrow, kinda being the down fall of this kit, Well to others i assume it is. But i see something more to this. I'm pretty much a Red Frame Fan so i took the liberty to change a few things on it when the Red Frame becomes available.. The Pack to me isn't the Red Frame, I like the fact that it turns into a Bow n arrow but i will only keep the pack as the bow itself. So im pretty much making a new pack for it. I recently been looking at different ways to make a new pack for it and i've come with a solution.. I'm pretty much taking parts from the Strike Aile pack that i bought just for the pack itself ( I know it sounds crazy) but i wanted the pack to look more of where it came from, So in the series Strike came from Orb, so did the Red Frame so the pack from the Strike is probably as close as im going to get it but with a few mods..

I believe if Bandai wants to create something different, well i can't really say anything when it comes to there marketing schemes, But i do know is that when it comes to modelling it's all about change and custom jobs, not just what they give you to show but what you want it to be. If you don't like the pack or the kit well first don't put the pack on and then bash it. There are options that you can create and use, just got to put your mind on things. I know people don't have the time or patients to be bothered with it but plain and simple don't buy it if you don't like it.. I seen reviews on the NG Red Frame and how it poses, I was amazed at what that NG can do. We will see how this MG compares to the NG.

[darkstrife]

The clear parts are included as part of the "MG Clear Parts Campaign", which also includes many other MG's like the Victory Gundam. The Clear Parts won't be standard issue on the next batch of releases though AFAIK.

another batch of clear part gundams are being released progressively from february i believe, some of the standouts are MG exia and MG Hi-nu. i dont think they'll release two sets one containing clear parts and one not....

although if Bandai did do that, i would be pretty pissed off:mad:

the back of the MG red frame does look a bit out of place, but i wont be posing mine anyway like that... love the bow and arrow gimmick though :)

Also is it just me or does the previous pic of the MG red frame show that the gold parts for the swords are not plated???? this is quite dissapointing to be honest as in the previous pics the gold part was clearly plated.... oh well still getting it though :D

[Lime soda]

So that's the official position of its Tactical arms? How's it suppose to fly when the thrusters are facing up? It's a extra touch that sets it away from the Blue frame so that's nice.

I prefer the Blue frame better because of its head and shoulders are an improvement over the original Astray's. Plus, I think the colors are placed more attractively on the Blue. I also get the feeling the Red frame might not get parts for the sword arms too..

Red frame is still worthwhile kit. Gerbera straights and hopefully a large beam arrow to show off that bulky looking bow. This is no different for me when I was deciding over the Force and Sword Impulse.

[vektar]

people also need to keep in mind and not jump to conclusions so fast over a few pics. Remember when all those people were complaining about the PG 00 and then when it finally came out everyone was like oh thats cool i love it and so on. You dont have to pose the kit like the picture either you can keep the flight pack anyway you want. I say just wait till dalong and the official boxart comes out of the kit before you make any real judgments. As for the yellow parts it could very well be just a prototype part and not the official release so its not gold plated.

Given that they've already made the 00 Seven Sword G which was previously made into Robot Damashii, an HG version of the Cherudim SAGA after this would be a dream come true :eek:

My biggest concern is, if the rest of the 00V Gundams will be made.

I'd totally LOVE a Arios Ascalon, however....in retrospect. I might not really need it. Since Harute is everything I wanted in an Arios design.

[GrimmReaperNL]

LOL I bet the HG would come out soon :D (well one could hope right?)
OH YES PLEASE!!! I already have a RD alvaron DX and I'd rather get a HG saga then a RD saga.

[Kitaeryu]

From the looks of it, I'm probably the only one looking forward to a 1/100 version of the Saga xD
Despite the flaws of the 1/100 S2 kit *cough waist cough*, I prefer the 1/100 size + more detail (kinda) + more weight + all my kits the same size.

Still waiting on my 1/100 007s =D

[SonicSP]

Given that they've already made the 00 Seven Sword G which was previously made into Robot Damashii, an HG version of the Cherudim SAGA after this would be a dream come true :eek:

Yes,indeed.Though my personal wish list would be HG Avalanche Exia and HG Astraea [Yeah,a real release this time around].

If I have HG Astraea,then I can display all 4 Generation CB lead MS with HG[Dont care much about the 1/100s].......and thats totally awesome.

But I guess a bigger wishlist would all HG 2nd Generation Gundams,plus Avalanche Exia,Cherudim SAGA,Seravee 3G,GRM Gundam....and maybe a few more.

[Nerroth]

Fingers crossed for a RT or HG version of the GRM...

...or the 1 Gundam, for that matter.


(When it comes to the ones announced, the SAGA is very interesting - but when it comes to the Reborns, I might have been more excited had I not got the HG already.)

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

A Robot Damashii Garm Gundam would be all kinds of kick ass....but there is no doubting it would be an exclusive.

Ya know what Bandai better NOT do? Have the RD SAGA be limited, and the kit mass release. I will rage so hard....

[SonicSP]

Who knows,Bandai's very good at this things.Making people mad that is.

[fizzmaister]

I am definitely looking forward to/hoping for an HG SAGA and 1 gundam. Or even NG 1/100, even though they're more expensive. Although most likely we'll get neither. :(

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

If the Cherudim SAGA is an exclusive...it wouldn't be totally bad, for me at least. Since Bandai will inevitably make a RD Zanbaya, which is one of my favorite movie Gundams, so it'll all work out.

[baribigbird06]

So I just realized my recently acquired 1/100 00Raiser doesn't come with the GN Sword III and the beam add-ons to the GN Sword II's. Is there any way to order these runners separately without having without having to order the designer vers.? While I'm at it, I lost the yellow head crest for my 1/100 Kyrios head, is there any way to replace that too?

Nope.There is a site that offers specific runner ordering but their selection is limited and dont include it.

The lack of a GN Sword III in the original 1/100 00 Raiser is basically how Bandai got people to buy it.You should have checked first I think considering you just acquired it.

I think you could also send Bandai an email requesting for it,but its a long and tiring process I heard with not much success rate but I guess you should wait for someone more knowledgable to explain this further.

If is a HG,its actually cheaper and easier to just order a new one,but Im not sure whether the cost function is the same for a 1/100.

I agree with Dearka. Z's gunpla review also said that the Ignition mode Exia is suppose to either be built as the normal one or the R1 version. They don't add extra parts so you can't just swap out the normal head for the R1 head; you'd have to take the pieces apart and rebuild it.

Get Ignition if you really like the R1 design. But Infinite Justice is much more worthwhile for that price. The only thing Exia's got over IJ is its GN sword. Infinite Justice had the better result of the MG treatment.

[Kitaeryu]

The handle of the buster sword looks like its too small for both hands to hold it =[ And seeing as how there is really only one picture posing with it, I'm guessing it might be hard to do poses with it due to balance/weight issues. Still a really awesome release none the less, but still waiting (and hoping) for the 1/100 version, hopefully before May when I will be able to get it =D

[X207]

i have a question to those with the 100 scale lunamaria zaku. does the articulation even allow you to hold the buster gun level so it doesnt pull the hands out of the forearms? i can only barely manage to get both grips in places on the gun. either the free hand is on the end of the support or its center on the bar with right hand pulled out of the socket.

[GNWeapon]

I'm still concerned if the GN Buster Swordd II will/will not have any form of connectors onto the GN Drive cone... So far from the pictures available, it's more/ess confirmed at least 2 'trenches' will be free, not sure on the 3rd 'trench'.

EDIT: After viewing the latest pictures in depth, I believe it's safe to say that the sword will be mounted 100% similar to the way the GN Shields are mounted (no connections onto the cones). YIPPPEEEE!

Now the question, I wonder which date of Feb 2010 will it be released on...

[SonicSP]

I think we'll need to apply a lot of clear green on the edges then.Sigh........was hoping it would be like the GN Sword III's clear green blade.Didnt need any sort of painting straight from the box.

Cant say I didn't expect the crystal sensor to come colored though.I wonder now whether I should color it clear green to match the official color of the 7S crystal sensor.....or clear blue to match the official normal crystal sensor of the series?

[BioRanger]

So all those cleer green parts are'nt actually green?

[pumpkins]

it looks like a very very light green.. instead of the one like on the exia R2 kit.

[LoweGear]

Well, the above pic proves that the GN Buster Sword II only has a single connector to the GN Drive mount for the model kit, as expected.

I assume that's the fully completed, unpainted result?

[darkstrife]

was kinda looking forward to this kit, never built a HG before and thought i could make this my first one but after looking at the pics, a lot of painting seems to be needed to make this kit even remotely presentable...

the V-fin isn't even yellow, head seems way too plain (only the chin part is coloured), clear effect parts (like previously mentioned) are way too light, minimal detail/colour on weapons... etc

tbh i dont think its worth spending extra money to paint a HG kit, but once its painted i dont doubt this would be a awesome kit

[pumpkins]

fully completed but without the stickers... it should come with the yellow stickers for the fin and the eye stickers at the very least.

Frankly I would put time and care into any kit I own. It's not simply the possession that matters, it's the construction, the art and the craft...

Have both.

IG Exia is a special edition with chrome weapon, alternative exia repair parts and LED part.

Inf Justice is a normal MG kit.

Have a quick look at these; MG IG Exia (http://anime-horizon.blogspot.com/2010/01/gn-001-gundam-exia-iginition-mode.html) and MG Inf Justice (http://anime-horizon.blogspot.com/2009/12/mg-infinite-justice-zgmf-x19a.html).

[vektar]

i guess it is a bit of a draw back to have the non colored clear parts, its not like its a hard thing to do to add colored clear parts to kits now. Over all i don't think it really needs all that much work done to it just a little paint here and there and panel lining, and i dont like the design of the 00 or 90% of the mobile suits from 00 season 2.

Except the stickers where they're suppose to be,yeah.

Well,it is coloured,just very very light clear green.Though I'm not saying that's a good thing.Hopefully it will change but perhaps not.

Ironically,the GN Sword III's tone of green is alot like the one seen in the Official Poses,so yeah they HAVE done it before,on the previous HG 00 release infact.

This color tone is more towards HG Cherudim GNHW/R's Rifle bits crystal sensors.They come in lightly clear blued,usually they never bother at all.

was kinda looking forward to this kit, never built a HG before and thought i could make this my first one but after looking at the pics, a lot of painting seems to be needed to make this kit even remotely presentable...

the V-fin isn't even yellow, head seems way too plain (only the chin part is coloured), clear effect parts (like previously mentioned) are way too light, minimal detail/colour on weapons... etc

Thats because the stickers arent there......:(

Everything else is what it is except there's 0 stickers on it.Stickers are suppose to be there in the eyes,the fins and black on the Condensers.

Since you say you've never built a HG before,you may be a bit unaware that HG kits [at least the last few years] come with stickers for the face.I guess Dalong would be the more accurate site to check for unpainted out of the box HGs,though this would probably be not available there but the regular HG 00s are.

00 unpainted at all is pretty good for me,though I'm a complete color freak now,with the exception of the crystal sensor which bothers me alot but nothing a light blue marker cant fix.

Cant do much for the details I guess since its just a HG kits but I guess the HG kits in the last few years have improved alot over the HG kits before than by alot,though personally they've always been good enough for me at least,detail-wise.

Having said that,while the normal 00 is pretty sweet unpainted,this one looks less so because the amount you need to put into the Condenser Blades as well as the sensors.Not that much work but more than the regular I guess.Unless of course you can put up with the light clear green.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Paint makes all the difference...

[SonicSP]

I guess it does,but I'm hoping I didnt have to do too much of this time around,since its a busy time currently.

[MakubeX2]

I think we'll need to apply a lot of clear green on the edges then.Sigh........was hoping it would be like the GN Sword III's clear green blade.Didnt need any sort of painting straight from the box.

Cant say I didn't expect the crystal sensor to come colored though.I wonder now whether I should color it clear green to match the official color of the 7S crystal sensor.....or clear blue to match the official normal crystal sensor of the series?

Clearly up some confusion in regards to the clear parts :-

Boxed wordings indicated that the final product will be in a deeper shade of green.

But IMO that's not a good thing as the concept art of 7S has the blades in a shallow green. So it anyone had any ideas about matching the model to the concept art, it will be a hassel to tune the blades back to that lighter shade.

Well, the 007S may have had a shallow green, but this image of the model is almost colorless, while the concept art actually shows color. Given that we don't yet know how much deeper they'll make the green in, we'll just wait and see.

Thanks for that little bit of info.Personally for me,I'm happy that the model is coming with a deeper shade of green,since it means less work on colouring the blades.

However,I can understand why some more experienced modelers who may want to have a lighter shade be disappointed,since a completely clear or lighter clear green would be easier to customize the tone yourself.

[X207]

whats the site that posts various gunpla including gundam? it sometimes posts reviews, its not ngeekhiong but they separate the gundam to the various eras. i cant remember which site it was. last time i checked they left a spot open for the nebula blitz but the link was empty as they didnt get the time to check it out yet. mine's been ordered jan 12th but i do want to know before hand what peices wil come with it.

[GNWeapon]

Regardless, I'll still dose the clear parts over with Clear Green.

Yeah, it's fanart, but it's not like a MG Ahead would be bad.

[SonicSP]

I agree,that art is pretty nice and a MG Ahead wouldn't be too bad either.And I guess you can play around with the removable armor as well,maybe make it look more Gundamlike,like the chest orb.,and maybe even reveal the head this time around.[Mechanical profile wise,the Ahead is suppose to greatly resemble a 3rd Generation Gundam underneath the armor according to the HG manual,even possesing a chest orb.The heavy armor was made in order to make it look not like a Gundam because the Gundam-like symbolism may stir up public controversy,due to the public's hatred of them]

Infact,looking at the rear art,I finally can see how a 3rd GenerationGundam looking mech is indeed inside that blocky armor,I guess it looks more obvious from the rear and then comparing with say Exia's rear.I guess removing the plating in between the arms and the torso,some of the arms as well as the main torso armor and I guess you can indeed get a AD Timeline 3rd Generation Gundam from it.

And I guess adding the equipment seen from the last few episodes would have been nice too,the physical bazooka,the Tail Booster,etc.

We were discussing this.........just a few centimeters above your current post if you took a ruler and measured it in your computer screen's length.......>_>

Thanks for the goodwill effort though.

But yeah,I want a MG 00 Raiser too.......PG is too big and expensive.However,better late and good rather than early and bad I guess.At least I hope it becomes that way if its late not that I mind an early AND good.[Probably wont be like Gundam X though]

You guys like the Ahead? I t kinda reminds me of a monkey :P

For some reason that fake MG Ahead art makes the legs and hips look better. But for me, the Ahead standing still looks like it has ape arms and birthing hips. Its just awkward looking.

[Spitfire]

You guys like the Ahead? I t kinda reminds me of a monkey :P

Yeah, I believe some of us do...

I knew that MG announcement was a fake the moment I saw it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it eventually, though, they should at least do an MG 00 before they do another mass-produced suit MG.

Agreed - I don't like the Ahead, personally...

And I guess they did GNX not only because of its popularity but so people would have ano appropriate G00 MG to pose with Exia? hahaha

[gummybear]

Bandai need to stop wasting money on making crap MG and make something good like making GN Archer 1:100 :frustrated: IMO, GN Archer 1:100 will sell 10 times faster than MG grunt :P or even 1:100 Gaia Gundam even though they are years behind.

Eeerh the images posted are custom mods by Hobby Japan of the MG GN-X. Even if MG GN-XIII's or Advanced GN-X's are likely in the future, it's not definitive, hence no release dates as of yet.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

That's one hell of a nice custom.

[Sir Dearka]

If they released a GN-XIII as a MG, even I'd have to consider... Love the red-violet color and the lances.

The GNX is not a crap MG. I'd take 100 different MG GNX variations before a GN Archer. The GNX is at least origianl, the ARcher is a midget GN knockoff. No thanks.

[SonicSP]

Even though it's fake, that is some pretty damn good artwork.

I agree,the Ahead is one MS that doesn't look good standing still but great in animation but I find this lineart to be very attractive indeed.

As I said earlier,I can actually see the elements of the 3rd Generation Gundams here in this lineart[which the Ahead is supposed to have,but hidden away due to possible public scrutiny],and combining my imagination from the previous picture of the Ahead from the S2 Archive files picture with the chest Condenser revealed,this lineart has made my respect for the Ahead increased quite a bit.

If they released a GN-XIII as a MG, even I'd have to consider... Love the red-violet color and the lances.

Oh yes definitely.I'm not a big fan of the Original GN-X especially because of the binders,though I love the long GN Rifle.

http://munimuni2000.blog.so-net.ne.jp/

THATS the saber color I want for my HG Gundam 00 series models[the Original Drive Gundams at least]!!!!!

The ones released now are bit on the red side.They color looks fine from certain angles but sometimes they appear to red,which conflict with the Tau Drive mobile suits.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Am the only person that thinks the Ahead looks great standing still and in motion?

[jonli]

Am the only person that thinks the Ahead looks great standing still and in motion?

Not the only one, but definitely in the minority. I'm half way with you, I see Ahead as a great menacing design, but not necessarily pleasing to the eye. Which is fine, they're the bad guys and we're suppose to hate them. The Sakigake Ahead looks great though in my opinion, but that's the only one I'd consider buying a model of.

[SonicSP]

Am the only person that thinks the Ahead looks great standing still and in motion?

I'm sort of with you I guess.I liked the Ahead the first time I've seen it on the 1st S2 trailer,though I'll say that the official lineart is HORRIBLE and I still hate it to this day.In animation,of course I think its beautiful,especially when piloted by Ginin.

However,the new lineart of the fake MG looks incredible and I love my HG Ahead[In this form,it looks good standing still],more than I love my HG GN-X,but I guess that';s because the posability of the GN-X is more limited I guess in terms of limbs.

Though I'm not a big fan of its variants at all.I like the GN-X series more as a whole but I like the Ahead as a suit quite a bit.

Symbolically,what I do like about the Ahead is the menacing look.It truly looks like an Ms used by an evil organization like A-LAWS.Oh,and I guess the Star Wars rule of "blockier but more advanced" was used here in the Ahead's case.

[Okamidum]

Am the only person that thinks the Ahead looks great standing still and in motion?

I love the ahead but lots of people like to sh** on it. I also think the ahead variations look awesome too. Like the smultron.

[SonicSP]

Even though I love the Ahead now,I can actually understand why people hate it.Its not the most sharpest sexist curvy design out there but something about it that makes me like it.

[GundamMeisterLockon]

The colour is very nice and its guns are sexy.

[silencer.001]

And it is different to other designs as well. I also like the Ahead, very different

Also loving the GN-X, need to get it now to complement my Exia ^^

[SonicSP]

The colour is very nice and its guns are sexy.

I disagree about the gun,I like the GN-X Long Beam Rifle a lot more,but with its long barrel attached it does look better than the standard GN Rifle of GN-X.

Strangely the Ahead reminds me a bit of the original GN-X.The Original's binders gave it a very bulky feeling,and I think it overall interfered with the models.I guess I can also see how the Ahead gets derived from the GN-X data and technology,probably with that bulkiness feeling.Of course,its just a stange thought in my head.

Glad they never made a blue one........that would have been ugly truth be told.Glad it wasn't adapted by the ESF army.

But other than that,the Ahead is the successor of the Tieren lineage,and I guess sort of love the Tieren as well.





Question:From your personal experiences,how often does a stand or a specifica model gets "loose",a sin its grip between the model and the stand is severely weakened.

Two of my stands recently suffered that.Cement and tissue [thanks to the guy who said that] is working as a susbtitute material to re-strengtened it but frankly I'm worried.Does it happen that often over time?

Avalanche Exia was always cool looking, but I never got totally into the design.

That kit has changed that...

A review of the GN-X MG is already up for those interested:

http://www.geocities.jp/hobby_no_toriko/mg-gn-x.html

to be honest the colour scheme is quite bland, only around 10 main runners which isn't a lot for a MG kit although the cheaper price probably justifies that

not bad for a grunt unit, but give me a zaku any day ;)

[SonicSP]

I don't know why,but in that review I guess the GN-X didn't look too impressive to me.It didnt give me the feeling of "I have to buy" like MG Exia did.Speaking from a picture point of view of course.

I wonder if we can get a shot at its internal frame?Does it have one?

It is nice to see its cockpit open however,thats never been seen previously.

Yes, it does have an internal frame as seen a little here (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10104785z4/70/4)

The only drawback to the GN-X is that the beam sabers are pink still. WTB red/orange sabers ffs!

There are alot of Zaku's and Variants out there but if your asking for the best MG Zaku kit then id have to say this one is one of my favorites.

http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN956655

But if you want something that looks like a Zaku, but different in shape then its either a Gouf, Gelgoog, Kaempfer, im probably missing some others. But the favorite has to goto the Gouf. This MG kit is another favorite that looks cool and a nice kit to build.

Can't tell if there's any mechanical detail present but it still looks nice for a internal frame.

Ngee Khiong has couple more shots of its frame up that you might want to take a look at.

Bandai can make the orange sabers. And pretty darn nice ones at that too, from the HG Masurao's orange beam sabers. They just don't want to. >__>

[pumpkins]

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Shouldn't it be.....purple or something?

[LoweGear]

No LED is provided for the MG GN-X, the modeller review in question is using the one from the MG Exia.

However, the MG GN-X apparently comes with a form that will allow you to order a Red LED unit from Bandai.

[DarkWarrior]

Seems like the reviewer is using Exia's LED, hence the green.

The GN-X doesn't come with any LEDs, but you can order some from Bandai. I have no clue how people outside Japan are suppose to get one though..

Edit: Oops, too slow. :heh:

[Sir Dearka]

Yup, different color scheme can do wonders. If it was the red-lanced Jinx III I'd call it a super MG :]

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

I like the gray take on the GN-X.

Too many MS these days are red.

[Hamachi]

So how does HG GN-X compare with the MG counterpart? :D

[Sir Dearka]

Always more details. Though I cannot help but notice that the 00 Master Grades somehow fail in my eyes to seem significantly improved in comparison with their lower-graded counterparts. Same was with Exia which just seemed too similat to the 1/100 No Grade. Most of my non-hobbyist friends did not see any difference between them at all at first glance. the MG Impulse is another story. the pgraxde in design and details was just terrific. I really wish they released a MG Dynames with all the gimmicks and better shades of green...

I kinda feel bad about seeing one of the best Gundam designs go to such a waste as not being properly upgraded to a full Master Grade glory.

I assume you mean the Dynames? But i would like to see that go into a MG with all its Bells and whistles as well, being that its probably the only one that i like out of the series. Lets just keep wishing. That day will come. :)

[kakakka]

Eh, you're just not satisfied because Dynames wouldn't get MG treatment sooner.

I too feel bad about Dynames not getting MG treatment. But if the MG would just look like 1/100 NG counterpart if released sooner, I would rather Bandai not have it release until they got the motivation to make it better.

[Sir Dearka]

Yeah, I mean exactly that. i am just worried that with all this hype and crazy releases such as GN-X variants and multum newer mecha choices, BANDAI would just discard Dynames as a suit of a dead character - not worthy or popular enough to be released in MG...

I'd just grab it in whatever form they'd release the kit. It can be even as slight as it was with the Exia as long as it has less stickers and more elements...

[kakakka]

Haha, I knew its just because of Dynames :)

I wouldn't buy if it's not better, tbh. I want my money's worth ><. Maybe that's why I was stuck with HG for the long time hahaha.

[Sir Dearka]

Well, I own a 1/100 NG Dynames and two HG - the one that came with the GN Arms Type-D and the Trans-Am version. I moved the 1/144 guns to the Trans-Am ver. and it looks particularly astonishing :)

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Would anyone happen to know what variation of the GM is seen in this magazine scan?

At first I thought it was the Strike Dagger from SEED, but it has RGM written next to it. So it's definitely from the UC series. But I can't really pinpoint which one it is.

Ideas?



EDIT: Never mind. I think I narrowed it down to the GM Kai from 0083.

[Sworra]

Yeah, I mean exactly that. i am just worried that with all this hype and crazy releases such as GN-X variants and multum newer mecha choices, BANDAI would just discard Dynames as a suit of a dead character - not worthy or popular enough to be released in MG...

What i don't get is why would they bother releasing a GN-X MG when compared to a popular MS like the Dynames. Yeah i know they were due for a mass produced unit model kit but at least get out the ones that are at least a bit more popular then the ones that arent. I doubt that Dynames would ever be a discarded Suit. Another issue i have with Bandai is that the next MG is a Trans-am Exia, why even bother there is already one out, stupid Bandai and there marketing schemes. Lets just change the color of the plastic and slap a new name on it like TRANS AM and yeah people will buy it. Well if you really think about it if you wanted a Trans AM mode get a regular kit that is out already and paint it. Is it a demand from the public for this stuff, or is Bandai that stupid.

Yeah i know they were due for a mass produced unit model kit but at least get out the ones that are at least a bit more popular then the ones that arent. I doubt that Dynames would ever be a discarded Suit. Another issue i have with Bandai is that the next MG is a Trans-am Exia, why even bother there is already one out, stupid Bandai and there marketing schemes. Lets just change the color of the plastic and slap a new name on it like TRANS AM and yeah people will buy it. Well if you really think about it if you wanted a Trans AM mode get a regular kit that is out already and paint it. Is it a demand from the public for this stuff, or is Bandai that stupid.

As much as I like to agree with you, there are some points I have to disagree. We all know not everyone is capable of painting full kits (I'm not 1 of these), so they'd prefer Bandai to release a full re-color (in this case Trans-Am mode) as another kit.

[Tormenk]

The GNX is ripe for exploitation compared to the Dynames anyway. One frame for many variations and re-colors is how Bandai earns money.

For the GNX there's the GNX-III and future GNX-IV ready, Advanced GNX and GNX-II from the side-stories if they want to milk those. May be there will be an incentive if Dynames-Repair is popular for the movie but as it is there's not much room to re-use the Dynames kit as much as the GNX potentially is.

[SonicSP]

MG GN-X looks pretty swell to me.

Hell, if I could, I'd buy it just for the Tau Drive.:D

Dude......you have no experience how to build one....>_> and a MG is not a good way to start.:(

And yes,I feel the same way too,the Tau Drive is super awesome though I feel like the whole thing is just so lackluster that its not wroth the money.

And they'll probably be recolors in the future as well,and the binders bother me.

Bandai usually are not stupid,they factor in the demand of the lower grade models before they make a higher grade one.Sometimes,they come out with good strategies as well,like making a PG 00 [which appearently sold well] before making a MG well,while the series is still fresh in people's minds [And with a lackluster 1/100 to up the pressure too].

And recolors arent new either,Bandai has been doing it for awhile and appearently it works for them if they are indeed continuing this tradition for them.

And as mentioned,not everybody can paint the entire suit,there are those who just like to build it out of the box.


As for MG Dynames,it depends.Usually the only confirmed MG is the main character MS rather than the ally,even if it appears to be popular Bandai takes a risk by making it since designing and making the the new model costs money and not with a guaranteed return.It has to be exceptionally popular for it to happen.

Recolors on the other hand,cost little since the most of the costs and molds have been made with the original design,and all they need to do is recolor it,and they are indeed people who buy it.

Its possible but I dont think it will happen anytime soon.


I wonder if Ebikawa being the designer has something to do with Bandai's decision to rlease the MG Exia and GN-X?If thats the case,then Dynames is a bit more off since its not designed by Ebikawa but I guess we'll just have to wait for the next Anno Domini MG.

[Sir Dearka]

Yeah, that's why I basically lost hope for any MG Dynames...

To me its way to soon to release a MG kit in the same form but different color.. It does go to the point of milking it. But it would of made sense to release the Trans am mode at the same time when Exia came out.

Well i don't really want to piss anyone off but would you go out and buy all those Variations? I certainly wouldn't. Common sense again we are slaves to Bandai to buying another kit with 2 extra parts or a new color.

I just noticed Bandai doing it more to this series then ever with the recolours. I wouldn't care if they do it to HG's but for MG's. Would you go and buy another kit that you already have? Even for how much a MG costs? I can't see why they can use all that milk money and create a new mold.

About painting? MG means a higher skill compared to a HG. If people can't paint then why would they bother taking up a MG anyway. If you want to paint give it a shot, you spent all that money on a MG anyways might aswell make it look even better.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

So, I decided to add some boosters to my MSIA Tieren. I think the end result came out pretty good. :D

[Ardi220288]

To me its way to soon to release a MG kit in the same form but different color.. It does go to the point of milking it. But it would of made sense to release the Trans am mode at the same time when Exia came out.
not really it would make more profit by releasing different colour later on than simultaneously. People could save their money first than being forced to choose between the two


Well i don't really want to piss anyone off but would you go out and buy all those Variations? I certainly wouldn't. Common sense again we are slaves to Bandai to buying another kit with 2 extra parts or a new color. .
same thing could be said about the many MG astray variant soon ....... and I definitely don't mind for ADV GN-X superbia and GNX-IV. some people just love to complete their collection

Well sometimes MG may require more skills but painting is not part of the basic requirements needed to build one.And there is a big step to go from just building to painting,so not necessaily everyone will paint.

Moreso in the case of Trans Am Exia because it involves a recoloring of the entire suit into a different color,which is even more extreme than say simply enchancing a part of the color.They are alot of those who do not have enough skills to do that on their own,yet they would want a MG class kit as well.

I do agree with you about the recoloring,frankly I wont buy the Trans Am even if I had the MG Exia,because I like the original better ,but they would probably be a few people who hasnt gotten a MG Exia now have the option of buying the prefered one.

As for whether the demand exists,I think it does.I dont personally see many people being to uptight about TransAm kits but for Bandai to release it there has to a be a reasonable demand,Bandai usually analyse their previous data and see.So I dont see them willing taking too much of a risk if there isnt a reasonable risk vs gains probability for them.

Its not much work either as making a new MG.They only need to recolor some molds they've already designed and make a new cover illustration.They dont need to re-engineer new things or even change any of the instructions illustrations,since its really just the same,so the effort and total design cost of it is lower than a new MG.

Besides,they probably made Trans Am so hyped up and awesome in the main show precisely for this reason.Its just milking time I guess.They know they are people who will buy this from being affected by Trans Am from the show.

They're probably just taking advantage of the Fixed Cost that they've already invested in the normal MG Exia in the designs in risk for more extra sales with MG Trans-Am,which just adds some to the Variable Costs,and they can always release it in smaller numbers in correspondance to their estimated sales projection,and as Ive mentioned its not like they're designing a new MG from scratch so they can afford to produced it in lower numbers.

Even if it doesnt sell well,thats just data for future releases,IE like whether they'll make a PG 00 Raiser Trans-Am for example.Bandai has been in the model kit business for a long time,they know the territory well.

this is good news for us since some of the HG 007s paper work may have info on where condenser is.

[SonicSP]

It probably doesnt matter which side the Condenser is on.Even with the original 00 we never really got to determine whic Solar Furnace is Exia's and which is 0 Gundam's.

Though sometimes I wonder why they shouldnt just go ahead and use 2 Drives on 00,unless its just that big of a risk.I will look forward to HG 00 7SG quite alot.



Which reminds me.............does anybody remember what's the official release date for HG 007SG again?

no box art pics yet but shouldnt be long, although the MG exia trans-am box seems quite large, i mean isnt it just a regular Exia but with transam colors (and metallic coated blades i think).... why the huge box..... hmmmm :confused:

[LoweGear]

Though sometimes I wonder why they shouldnt just go ahead and use 2 Drives on 00,unless its just that big of a risk

Which it is. Remember all the matching tests they needed to do on the GN Drives just to find the pair that barely managed to power the Twin-Drive system? Given that the pair most compatible with each other - the 0 Gundam Drive and Exia Drive - are now gone, pairing the other GN Drives with their proven incompatibilities to each other would truly be too much of a risk.

Besides, the single drive is what gives the 007SG it's own personality: A once powerful MS that can now only intimidate through it's past reputation and shiny new weapons rather than its actual combat abilities due to it losing the one system that gave it it's power.

Well,since its getting a bit off topic,I've posted my technical reply on the Gundam 00 weapons& tech thread.


Personally,one thing I really dislike about the 00 Repair as I call it is that the Drive components cones are the same.It would put good symbolism if the 2nd cone looked different to illustrate the fact that it doesn't have a 2nd GN-Drive.[Than again,it is just an output module anyways] and as you'd say if they've done that it would have added more personality to the fact that this is an inferior 00 Repair without Twin Drive.

When the chapter first came out,I'd thought it was due to laziness on part of the designer and the chapter director but considering they were planning to release a full kit of it that we CAN imagine to be a full fledged 00 due to it looking the same on the basic level,I'd say it was a good move indeed,so I can understand why they almost didn't change anything from 007S aesthetically save the adding of the GN Sword II Blaster,because they were planning to make a kit of it.


So,anybody remember the release date for 007G?I know its this month but I've forgotten the exact date,

[Okamidum]

February 10th release I believe

[SonicSP]

I wish the HG Original Anno Domini Gundams would have the same color as the one in the HG Unicorn,they look alot closer clear pink.The Anno Domini sabers look nice but they appear red sometimes,depending on the light source and angle.Although I guess my biggest issue would differientiating the Tau sabers and the Original sabers.

Of course,I paint the sabers I want for Tau dark red,but personally I'd rather use the clear pink for all of them,and then have the option to darken that clear pink out for any Tau saber options.



Unless of course,there is a way to remove the default color on pre-coloured sabers?I don't think so it doesn't seem possible but.......hmm is there a way?

Are the HG Unicorns good? I kinda like the normal Unicorn better, but I'm still having trouble deciding between that and Destroy mode...

Oooor should I get the Arios Gundam. Ugh! I can't decide!

Some parts in destroy mode are really tiny and thin.
Some parts also easily comes apart.

Arios is nice.
Unicorn is eh. I have the mg version of it. I like to call it the brick because I cant do much with it and when I try to move stuff, parts fall off. The HGUC 1/144 versions are decent, just very small parts.

its out already??? i thought release date is 28th or something, tbh the boxart seems quite average, not as dynamic as the MG exia trans-am

great thing is that it comes with clear parts like the MG V gundam, really forward to this kit :)

I don't think that the Amatsu is Dearka's type? its to stealthy.. Need something more brute force like a Unicorn or the Dynames that is altered. Something that has two hyper bazooka's on him with gatling guns and a nice high calibur sniper rifle. Of course this would be a whole new Dearka. lol

[Tormenk]

MG Gold frame is definitely coming. The MG Blue Frame has the same undergate connection found on bling bling kits like Hyaku Shiki and the forementioned 1/100 Gold Frames.

Now here's to hoping whichever Gold Frame is released first retains its original flavor.

[atlans89]

Not sure about MG Gold Frame, as the Blue Frame Revise and Red Frame Kai out is due to the Seed vs Astray storyline. If I remember correctly, the Blue got pawned by Mirage Frame 2nd and Red got upgraded due to its lost to Nebula Blitz.

Well let's see how Red's story going and than we can be a little sure about Gold's release.

Does someone know where this design of the RX-78 comes from?

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4334918812_7ab7a94aa6.jpg

It's called Gundam RX-78-2 Heisei Style. But I've never seen it before.

Any info?

Any info?
It's the RX-78 done up as if it was done in a more recent style. You'll notice it looks very SEED-like. Heisei is the current era in Japan and started on January 8, 1989, ten years after Mobile Suit Gundam aired.

out of curiousity, has anyone seen an exia model painted in its original colours b4 setsuna joined?

[darkstrife]

O . M . G

Bandai will release 3, thats right THREE PG models next month

Aile Strike (clear colour)

RX 78 (extra finish)

Mass Production Zaku (extra finish)

prices are around 20000 yen for each which is quite pricey, although this is a somewhat exciting release, none of the gundams really appeal to me that much and the price is another put off factor...

more details on NK blog

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Didn't...didn't they already make a PG Aile Strike?

[LoweGear]

They're making one in clear colors this time, as per the usual recoloring convention :heh:

[darkstrife]

Bandai only made the plain Strike and the Strike Rouge, the new PG kits havent been made before

hrms. the aile strike was a chara hobby exclusive in 2006... and you could've gotten the pg skygrasper and pg strike to make the aile strike.

cant wait to get my hands for the 7 sword :D

I like the way you pose your Arche.I'm not very good at posing mine,especially in regard to the legs.
To me, Arche is one of those suits that just HAS to be posed, as in standing position its exceptional frame is not fully expressed. :

This... the one that I've really like. :)
Yeah... Cherudim rocks! It's amazing how from utter initial disgust I came to love the design, just equally to that of Dynames. Can't wait to see Zabanya in action!

Now.. the enemies :]

Various sources on my side hinted at a one time special release of the HGUC Unicorns bundled with the previously magazine exclusive Unicorn Head stand to celebrate the debut of the OVA.

[amurorei83]

Intially, I was quite sceptical about the design of 007S. However, after seeing these images I have second thoughts. Damn sexy wielding 2 x GN Sword Blasters.

Definitely adding to my want list in the 1/100 category.

Are there any news regarding the MG 00 Raiser? Or will Bandai wait till the sales of PG 00 Raiser to fall before it happens?

[Kitaeryu]

I do hope they release the 1/100 007S for a gunpla model. Is there any news regarding that and the MG 00 Raiser? I know theres the resin kit and I realllllly don't like resin kits XD

[helois]

the 007( :heh: )S/G is a must to have.... :D

well the 00 movie is in september so theres a high chance that it would be released between then and the end of the year. i think the MG 00 raiser would be sweet but i'm pretty satisifed with my PG 00 :D

[amurorei83]

That's true *Fingers crossed*, unless they decide to release a PG Trans-Am OO Raiser. Knowing how Bandai is, that could be a possibility. :P

I don't own a PG myself, as my preference has always been towards 1/100 scales. I own alot of NGs and MGs. All of which are gundams, however I have recently ordered my first Zeon suit, the MG Gouf Version 2.0 with Clear Parts. What tempted me was the orange beam sword and its left gatling fingers. Looks so badass...

Does anyone have a few sites which I can get inspiration from? I've had a look on Neo Grade, and theres a resin mod for it (http://www.neograde.com/shop/step1.php?number=599)
