AnimeSuki Forum - Gundam Models Discussion Thread

I have an odd question: Is the 1/100 HG Infinite Justice really 1/100? I've just finished the model, and while the proportions are good, it's smaller than the other 1/100 models I have, such as the Strike Rouge. I'm guessing that either IJ really is smaller than the other mechs, or the model is actually 1/105 or 1/110?

The 1/100 infinite justice is a standard 1/100 not a high grade.

Guess it's a lost cause to find it domestically around 50-60?

PS: been to Orbit like.. 3 times before and hadn't paid that much notice to the pricing there @_@

chances are slim for local store to store MG kits. They sell very fast. even that, local shop would still charge you for the kit shipping. They're doing a business. Unless they order dozens or hundreds of the kits or came with large order, you still have to pay for the kit, the shipping and of course the profit!

for a MG kit you have to look at a minimum of $50 for the kit. If you really want the kit try HLJ. shipping cost is not that bad, only SAL take weeks. There'lll be restock in august.

as I have said if you really want it, get it online. it's up to you.

I just knew, knowing the chara designer, I just knew somehow that wasn't a girl....:heh:

PROTIP: The character artist is actually a girl.

Anyway, Exia (liked Excia better) looks sweet as hell. Still can't get behind Turn A...that thing's freaking ugly.

It's a joke in my experience in that sort of field, a very odd joke that not many people know about :heh:

Yeah, that shocked me lol, I knew F91 was small but model kit comparisons....it's like a 1/144 lol

And, mahq.net is a good place to look up Gundam heights, the GS gundam's aren't really that tall compared to others.

Except that at 15.2m tall, F91 really is a small machine.
The Strike Rouge is 17.72m tall, and Infinite Justice is 18.09m tall. When a 1/100 IJ is smaller than a 1/100 MG Strike Rouge, there is a problem.

Thanks for the info subaruhess. I don't understand what the instructions for the conversion are, but I'm assuming it's using the 1/100 IJ parts with pieces of the MG Freedom or Strike Freedom?

Kitbashed 1/100 infinite justice & master grade strike freedom modelled by Naoki kimura. Its not a simple part swap but strike freedom's frame is compatible with the infinite justice 1/100.

Heres another part of the guide:

Now THIS! IS WHAT GUNDAM SHOULD LOOK LIKE! man....i think i've just fallen in love...Unicorn gundam is one of those rare designs that are simply great and DEFINATELY deserves a MG remodel. Who is the designer anyway? This guy deserves a best design award!
