Most likely MG will make a 1/100 scale of the F91, as that scale has been the staple size for Gundam models by Master Grade, so it might be small. Of course, if they're going to make it, but I don't see why not.

MG's venture into the 1/100 scale of 15m-tall MS designs can be forseen, due to the advancement in plastic materials and CAD solutions, so smaller, finer pieces are possible to manufacture these days.

Hopefully MG will consider next making 1/100 scale models of famous Gundams such as Gundam Double X, Gundam F90 and V2 Gundam. MG has considered making these before , amongst other GunPla models; sometime before year 2000. Hobby Japan subscribers would know of this plan.

Mua..? Light bulb version...?

word... that's true, the original Freedom's face was much better...

Holy hell..... *drools*

Good pics there, that should be enough encouragement for any GunPla fan to bust out their savings.
Man, if I had the multiple Ringgit bundles, I'd hit it

BTW, since this thread isn't limited to Gundam mecha only, allow me to be the first to pitch in a non-Gundam contribution for this new thread : My LM-HG Evangelion collection.



Still no EVA-04, I know. That one coming soon... the last addition to the family (heck, EVA-04 never appeared in the anime anyway )

When I said 'This thread', it means GUNDAM & MECHA MODELLING THREAD V2...
at the encouraging reply...


Anyway, edited the sentence in my previous post to avoid anymore people who misinterpret.

Good question, since Evangelion models don't come with scale measurements.

Just did an on-the-spot measurement of the EVA-01 model with a ruler, and I got approximately 19.5cm from its base to the top of its head.


Going off-topic a bit:
Doesn't Dunbine look like mecha? Then how about Escaflowne? Heck even the EVAs don't look like traditional mecha, but these are the ones that helped expand the wonderous concept of mecha

Yeah, I concur that the mecha of Dunbine is hard to get used to at first; but after all, when its design first came out in 1983, the concept was entirely original: the first anime to incorporate organic mechas in a medieval setting.

Real good work there, Godevil, replicating the MG box art.

I'm thinking of doing a stand for my winged EVA-05 as well: the kind where I can put it above my computer monitor, and let it seemingly soar above my head, watching my on-computer activities like a vulture of doom....AARGHH....!

Heh heh, utilize the holes on the top of the CRT case, eh?

I did once make a stand out of a black-painted, well-bent metal coat hanger for my EVA-01, cause I'm able to replicate the umbilical cord (power supply cable) of the EVA, hooked it onto its back and made it look like it jumped up, suspended in mid-air.

Don't know where that stand is now, must've gone missing in transition to my current residence; that's why I hate moving house, got a lot of my stuff to move...

LOL brat within body!
Owns.

HGUC 1/144 Palace Athene...! Another Zeta Gundam icon...!

*runs out to buy*

P.S.: the eight long cylinders on its binders are its optional armament: battleship-grade long-range missiles.

Thanks for the notification, woot!

First things first:
LOL, that's very true..... old school style...

Hope this pic helps, avatar:


To dj898, that's very good painting and finishing you did on your models, very impressive. I myself will be learning to do finishing work soon, hopefully...
(And woe to your Guntank, poor fellow... )

To hitler, can we place our order through you too, for some Gundam and non-Gundam models from your friend in Japan, if possible?



And now, moar model pics for this grand thread!:

Space Cruiser Yamato, anyone?



And a bit of Gundam for all:

The Zeta Gundam skit.


Frames of Red and Blue.

That's the MSK-008 Dijeh, Amuro Ray's mobile suit. The dark blue one is the RX-139 Hambrabi and the yellow one is the MSA-005 Methuss. These three are from the first editions of Bandai Zeta Gundam series, so no surprise that many aren't too familiar with that versions. Hope Bandai might consider making HGUC versions of Dijeh and Methuss, too (and other iconic MS of the Zeta series... )


This post has been edited by Fodder Soldier: Mar 4 2006, 05:29 PM

Uh, they did? Is it in production? Cause AFAIK, the only Zeta Gundam HGUC models that has been released are The O, HiZack, Quebeley, Rick Dias, Gundam Mk-II, Psyco Gundam Mk-I, Zeta Gundam, Gaplant, Hyaku Shiki, Marasai, Asshimar, Gabthley and Palace Athene.

If it is coming soon, then swell. Methuss appeared not only in Zeta, but ZZ too. Same goes with Psyco Gundam Mk-II. Hope they'll make that 30cm monster... just like they did with the Mk-I. After all, the Mk-II is a lot meaner looking...

Nope, not yet. When I can paint as proficiently as you, I'd do it. Otherwise I'd rather not make a mess out of my large collection of old and rare models, have to be real careful with them...

Of course, if you could do the honours of painting it for me...?

Same goes to my rare Yamato 2520:

Woot! Whoa Yey!! Not only Methuss, but Gaza C is going to be HGUCed as well! Great, thanks for the usefull mag scans, infested.

Heh, and they spelled color "colar", hyok...

Whoah, Providence sure go a hefty pocket money.....

To StarGhazzer: Heh heh, Amuro wouldn't need such a big a s s gun like that, anyway... he uses standard weapons even, he can still kick a s s ........

Hoh, sounds reasonable. Other places I'd seen, the lowest is RM220.

And I thought you bought all those 6 PlaMo at once...


Anyhow, moar pics for all!:

Love my 1/144 scale Turn A gang...


Love the 1/144 scale 0079 gang too...


And last, my three favourites of my Macross models.

From left to right: 1/100 VF-2SS Valkyrie II, 1/8000 Macross SDF-1 Storm Attacker Construction (Special Coating Ver.), and 1/100 VF-19 Fire Valkyrie.

Wished Bandai or some company made 1/100 scale PlaMos of Macross Plus' YF-19 and YF-21, that would be real swell...

BTW, anybody here made dioramas for their models?

I didn't know Zeon had Zaku Warriors...

anyways, dj898 idea for the monoeye is a good one, although for me, I'd go with LED... Monoeye gleams...

Yes, real neat work you did on those hanger wires.

I normally won't suspend my Gundam models with clotheshanger wire because they're either too big or too heavy for it...

BTW, don't your models get into the way of your studying? literally...

Cool! Then we can start piling orders on sorcecold then...

Wanna see if I can order Gkits too I'm looking for some WAVE stuff...

This post has been edited by Fodder Soldier: Mar 22 2006, 03:01 PM

Seems that you're familiar with the mecha of FSS, dj898... Man, I love FSS, they're definitely the most gorgeous mecha designs I've ever seen. A pity there's not many plamo companies making them. The ones made by Volks are the best of all. I only got one FSS model so far, and that one was made by WAVE, not a bad model at all, seeing that these two plamo makers are the only ones in the world making FSS models anyway.

Not much surprise that there are a number of buster launcher lookalikes in the Zeta Gundam series, since the mecha designer of FSS was one of the designers for the mechas of Zeta Gundam, so he might have given the infuence for the team...

And talking about my FSS model, it's now one of my two currently ongoing plamo projects (the other one is doing heavy conversion on my older Nu Gundam model... into something else, heh heh...), so it'll involve a number of scratchbuilt parts especially for the second model. Thus, my question for the other modellers is: What is the best kind and brand of putty to use for this kind of task, one that is easy to apply and shape.

OT,

I managed to get English-translated FSS volume 1-8 (except 7, shit ) and I really like to get the rest of 'em, seeing how far the story has developed after seeing it in the Newtype magazines.

I believe King Colus III's flag MortarHeadd was spelled Junchoon in English (although pronounced 'Juhnohn')

I love every MH design that ever came out in FSS, but my real favourites so far would be KoG, LED Mirage, Vatshu, Junchoon, and the gi-normous Jagd Mirage.
Hail AKD!

Back to T,

Thanks for the info, Guvyer. I will start looking for it A.S.A.P. Can't wait to continue modifying my Nu Gundam. All chopped up and waiting for the next phase: redesign and reconstruction.
