Nice, Zaku Gunner rocks :P



I've got an Amatu, too. It's like the highlight of my whole collection. Definitely one of the best Gundam designs out there.

thanks, it was a bitch to finally figure out what i need for the project ie brass spray paint. it turned out ok aside from a hiccup ie cut tab that holds the bottom KE dart by accident now super glued to the dart binder.

nice gunner zaku collection, i have a sudden urge to get a mini lunamaria zaku. did your BB zaku need much painting? my zaku is 99% accurate in detail as far as colours go but i left out some minor panel lines. did you ever find a way to pose your zaku like mine while leaving guster rifle level without any leaning to a side? i have only one complaint on my zaku: rear waist panels dont move like the front peices.

id say mine stands out but its second to the gaddess and custom garrazzo (currently priming parts for paint). though the highlight of my collection probably will be the gnz 007, 004 and the repainted amatsu blitz gundam. the amatsu is next on the list to build. soon enough i will be able to show a blitz gundam collection though photoshop will be needed to show all the ones i have lol.

i dont have any more plans for my amatsu, the only thing i did was leave off the gold on the shoulder and thats all. if anything i might play around with equipement from black nebula blitz whenever i get to building it.

Nah i am giving one to a friend, Mine i am customizing though. I'm going to place the MG Aile Strike pack, alter it a bit and put it on the Red Frame. I don't really like the tacticale arms II pack.

That isn't a defect.
The majority of "grabbing" hands that are a separate piece from the arm are hollow with nothing underneath.

I assume that this one is similar to the one packaged with the cage? (Design wise. Without the cage of course.)

MG Unicorn Gundam - Box art shown. Release date: 11th, 5,250 Yen (inclusive of tax).

Eh, what's this? Gundam Unicorn Ver Not Ka?

Does it matter when the Unicorn is designed by Katoki himself ?

If you ask me, the first Unicorn MG kit just added that "ver.Ka" as a sales pitch for a rushed problematic release to cash in with the release of the novels back in '07.

Question to those who own HG 00 Raiser.

Does your stand have problem "gripping" the slot on where it connects to 00?Mine always feels lose for some reason.....and its a big problem as it limits the poses it can do.Its at an inclined angle of course because I'm making the 00 tilt forward a bit.I've suffered this problem........well since I can remember.Does everybody have this?

I always find myself needing to using a bit of cement to hold it in place,then simply forcepulling it out when I want to change its orientation. [On an unrelated note,I also do the same for the 0 Raiser wings].

By the way,I'm using one of those large green 1/100 stands.The one that can be used with both 1/100s and 1/144s.I suffer the same problem with the HG stands for this too.

.

if your talking about a normal action base i have the same issue too with my heaver kits like the MG gelgoog and qubeley they just seem to weigh a bit more then what the action base can handle at times so the use of glue to tighten the joints on the stand are needed.

To be honest I never tried. I put it in traditional posistion and kinda like it this way for now As far as my BB Zaku, as well as any other Gunner kit, is considered, I just panel-line them. The effect is satusfying enough to me.

Yup, same thing about my BB Zaku.

But there's a funny story. There is no BB green Gunner Zaku. I had to buy a Zaku Warrior and Lunamaria's Gunner Zaku to combine them :] The Blaze pack I attached to the red Zaku and gave it to my friend who does not know a thing about Gundam series :]

Which makes me wonder,they do give you and extra screw with those bases,and we have like 3 or 4 holders or something as I recall in regard to how we want to use to connect the base to the kit.

I wonder......is the screw given so we can screw the it in using one of the 4 holders given to us?Because I recall one of the kit holder is some sort of hole,but neve rpaid so much attention to it.I've only use the normal pointy stick that slots in the hole.

thanks, what could be done about them to cover it up? i wouldn't mind getting a SD gunner zaku but im not sure if its easy to cover up.

The color of Unicorn's beam sabers is getting a bit confusing.

First they're clear, then pink, now blue. Which is it?!

Never happened to my stand. Try using Figma stands, I used one on my 00.
