Gundam Models Discussion Thread

[sku]

Hi,

Got a little request. I remember a while ago while searching for modified gundam models, I came across this one particular japanese guy that heavily modified his kits and I remember seeing a heavily modified infinite justice gundam and a freedom gundam too. Those were the 2 I particularly remember. The finished models was slightly bigger in height and much more impressive. I also remember a lot of WIP photos and some of those contained sketches of what he was going to do to the models. At one point, once he finished modified all the parts, i remember seeing a photo of the whole model being sprayed a grey udnercoat. He had his own webpage with other modified kits as well. I cannot remember at all who this guy was or the website name. And I am desperately trying to find him again!!

If anyone has any clue to who this guy was please let me know!!!

Thanks!

MG Deathscythe is in my list, I got MG Wing TV and I got no complain over this new frame, though not nearly as strong as MG Astray's frame
The only downside is MG Wing series tend to be smaller than other Gundams, even Exia.

That's because in regards to their in-show physical dimensions, Wing mobile suits are in fact smaller than those of 00 and various other series, so the models are scaled appropriately.

What i dont understand is when u read the specs that a MS that size only weighs 7 tons....thats crazy. A Abrams weighs 60 tons and thats just a regular sized battle tank....

But anyways back on topic.

So i wounder how long its gonna take for them to go though all 8 Endless waltz Gundams and then all 9 MG tv series gundams. Hope the Epyon gets a make over as well.

8 only? I guess they will make a Wing 2.0 or whatever to finish the collection. An excuse like why all the other got better frame and not remake the older one?
I doubt the TV will even be made =.=

That's what people said about the Wing Gundam, and then suddenly we got the TV version design translated to Master Grade.

Don't forget that the order of MG Wing Gundam releases had the Wing Ver. Ka made first (March 2004), then the Wing Zero Custom (October 2004), and finally the Wing Gundam TV version (April 2010) - you see like a six-year gap from the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka to the Wing TV version. The Deathscythe looks like the same, with the Ver. Ka being made first, and I don't think they'll pass up on the opportunity to remold the MG Deathscythe Ver. Ka into the Deathscythe Hell Custom.

If Bandai releases through the years have been any indication, it usually comes down to patience on what they'll release.

Thank you very much!! That's exactly who I was looking for!

HG Gundam Zabanya out on Hobby Search



As much as I love the 00 movie Gundams, these kits are making me hesitant to buy them, especially Zabanya: if the manual is correct, most of the parts that represent the missile hatches are easily removable parts - especially the shoulders, wrist, crotch armor, and feet - , and yet they shouldn't have a reason to be... unless they're planning to see us a "Zabanya Full Loadout" version in the future or something like that with replacement parts to pose the Zabanya with all of its missile launchers deployed

[tictactor]

can anyone explain to me how come my 00Q doesn't come with the movie info booklet as seen in here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7TsY...eature=channel @ 2:37 ?

[YaminoSeigi]

Zabanya is even more awesome now with the hidden missile pods and equippable rifle bits.

Man, WTF is with the pricing of RD Sinanju. 5000Y is too much for a figure like that. Anyone have any thought on what might justify it?

Silly Zantetsuken, as if Bandai required justification...

Fixed that for ya.

[Zantetsuken]

But this is MADNESS! (Yes, I went there)

It doesn't seem to have a lot of equipment, and the size is standard. Even RD Seravee that included Seraphim is only 4800!

[Rising Dragon]

Wouldn't surprise me if it being a U.C. machine increased the price somehow.
