Well, I do mention the words Robot Tamashii in the post, so...


...but yeah - I like its scheme a hell of a lot better than the one my HG is in. (Sorry, Bring.)

my first every PG and i'm quite satisfied with the end product. i know u guys might have seen quite a few of these completed models already, but most of them are done by modellers who have been doing it for a while (like using airbrush, weathering... etc). my work is probably more 'amateur', i matted all the white parts while painting the outside armor parts using tamiya spraypaint.

the model is quite tall (see first pic) and its about the length of a 30cm/12inch ruler. i also panel lined most of the parts and applied some decals, i will post pics up of more poses when i complete the o-raiser

any comments and criticism is most welcome

Hey i was just wonderin, what tamiya colors did you use on the 00. I am planning to spray paint my 00 as well and i wanted to know what colors of each you used.Thanks

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone know a site that actually showed the 00 Gundam Seven sword system having two GN buster sword II on both cones????

Im trying to fine a pic of one myself

I thought it looked too nice,like very manufactured.The seperate claw technique I mean.


But it has been done before in a few other HG Garazzos,does anybody know the process needed to do it?I know that it somehow involved heating and cooling it with hot water or something but the details elude me.

for the white, i just used Mr Hobby Flat spray paint, for the blue i used Brilliant Blue, for the red i used Bright Red, for the fingers i used Black

thats basically it, i used Gunmetal for some parts such as the thrusters on its backback

hope this helps, i will do more poses once i construct the stand and the o-raiser, i think the reason why other modellers are limiting the poses is that every joint uses the GN condensor and can sometimes be a bit annoying (especially the shoulder condensor).

Hey I was wondering about something.

Is it possible for me to modify my normal Seravee into a GNHW Seravee by taking the parts from the GNHW kit?As in taking the extra parts without buuilding a new main frame?

Also,could the same be done with the Cherudim and Arios as well?

Yes you could. The GNHW kits are just additional runners for the normal kits after all. Seravee requires part swapping of the shoulder armour though.

The feet don't seem to spread out as well as those on the HG innovade suits, which is kind of odd. Oh well.

Spoiler for And also - a Figma versus Robot Tamashii showdown!:

(You can see more of Meiya here, if you are interested.)

It's awesome isn't it? I got mine a few weeks ago. I love it.

It's not just the orange claws, but the shape of the hand they are connected to. You'd have to re-work that to make it look right, perhaps.

It is nice, but methinks Meiya overshadowed it, in terms of my own interest!

(And speaking of which, one of the other units from Meiya's setting looks really, really cool - like an Overflag or Enact with extra GAR thrown in for good measure! I really hope there'll be more than just a custom build for that someday...)

Thats interesting,I dont recall anything needed by memory for the switch shoulder armor.Guess Ill jujst work it out.I do recall the side skirts need to be changed though.

Thanks for answering.

Can someone explain to me exactly what Robot Damashii is? I know that it's a line of models, obviously... They don't require construction...? Are they good?

[SonicSP]

Their actions figures,and no no contruction needed.I don't own one so I don't know but their much more pricier than a HG 1/144 in general I think.

Haven't heard anything bad about them,I'm sure Nosferatu would be replying on this one soon.

Just think of them as a more playable gundam model that is previously built. Like an action figure.

HG boxart still rules!

are hg 00 transarm versions worth it?

More like the Trans-Am box arts rule. They do always seem to be the better looking.

But the thing is,the earliar pictures was not even close to promising,they just seemed like the same as the normal versions with slight shade of pink so I do hope that Bandai was playing a practical joke on us by releasing those pics because otherwise.

I sense Trans-Am Gadessa and Garazzo on the way,Bandai looks like their going to milk this to the end.

I just wished they milked the 2nd Generation Gundams as well the ones from 00V on the HG size.

Depends on how much you like the suit and how much you like the Trans-Am effect on it.

I personally found the trans-am color on plastic is a bit odd. The sole reason I bought the Trans-am Raiser is because of all the weapons.

And unfortunately, the normal 00-Raiser with GN Sword III came out some odd weeks later...

[SonicSP]

That's Bandai for you.

LOL I bought it,painted mine and then Bandai released it.Damn Bandai and their evil genius marketing startegists.
