Oh, by the way - does anyone have a comparison pic of the HG Reborns in Gundam mode alongside the HGUC Hi-Nu?

Actually, Gundam F91 and Victory Gundam are the same size: 15.2 meters in height.

It seems my (insider) source was telling the truth way back on page 732. He did also mentioned a Guncannon ver 2.0 is in the works now.

Nope. I think it's still in the design phase.

What is the recommended gold for most of the gold parts in the SD Sangokuden line?

I've been using conventional gold paint marker, but they don't stick so well.

OFF topic: How are the Keroro models nowadays?

I've seen kids using poster colours for them. Seem to work well.

Day 2


Yesterday, I finished the actual build, while chipping away at the paint work.





The beam saber blade in the kit is not coloured - but a coat of clear red paint on it worked a treat!



Some more detail:









A few comparison pics now, with the Reborns Gundam alongside a suit I feel it takes a lot of design inspiration from - the Exia (in this case, the rebuilt R2 version):






Today, I converted the suit into Cannon mode for the first time - and posed it alongside my HG Gaddess:









And a couple of Gaddess pics, if you are interested:







When I sit down for Day 3 of the project, I'll work on cleaning up the paint work, covering areas which haven't been covered yet, and getting more of the panel lining done with my Gundam Marker.


Wish me luck.

Great work so far. Keep up the good work. Its starting to come through, can't wait to see the finished product.

as there's no blue frame model (apart from the one that one discontinued a long time ago) i bought a 2nd green frame and painted the damn thing. bought some armored core weapon kits and made them work for blue frame. here's the result:

Spoiler for blue frame:

Spoiler for astray frames:

hope you like it (them)

Wow Very nice touches with all your coloured frames its looks like you have a power rangers theme going. haha. I like the Armored core addons you put on the blue frame it is a very clean look. Keep up the good work.

New HGUC lineup, I suppose.

Thanks - and I can't wait either!

I'm assuming Dynames has a different shield to match whatever changes they made on the dvd's. Bandai, you never run out of money-milking tricks, do you? On the other hand, the Masurao is really looking good! I can't wait.

MG V Gundam at 3800 yen, Hexa part included.

I like the design of the V Gundam, but its size is a turn off for me. I prefer Sinanju-sized Gundams. Or at the very least, Exia-sized.
