this thread is open to all discussion of mobile suit models. Whether it be Gundam, Evangelion, Full Metal Panic, or whatever else. Which do you have, how do you build them, what's your favorite, what do you want, tips, where do you get them, whatever is helpful or interesting to other fans.
My first kit was the 1/100 HG Astray Red frame
Then i moved on to the MG MS-06s zaku II(for those non otaku thats char zaku). I's not done yet , still got one leg left.
And then i have a 1/100 MG RX-78-2 gundam ver oyw coming to me in the mail.
For those building HG and thinking about moving to MG , it's really not that much of a change.
You just got much better detail and a inner skeleton(wich you put the armor on)
Wow got my RX-78-2 today :D
I ordered RX-78-2 and Char's ZakuIIS from Amazon today.
It's horribly ironic that they decided to bring the prices back up when I was ready to order... I couldn't afford to get a Kampfer too. Although, I'm glad to be able to get MGs at $10-20, even if they are older ones.
A few sites for Gundam modelers:

Nice pictures of all kinds of Gundams, and some neat mods (like making a PG Mk. II run on AC power instead of batteries). Although some of the advice about building runs counter to what I've read elsewhere.
for anyone looking for PG well you won't be pull off this with MG or anything below...

Well the newest MG's like RX-78-2 oyw and mk2 can do that , they are quite good.
But then again PG IS PG!
well that is true though for the sheer volume it can't beat 1/60 scale... :p it fills one shelf of cabinet completely...
don't think Amazon ship overseas do they? :(
I like MG more than PG mainly because they're smaller. Bigger may be better with toys, but I don't think it's the same for models.>>14
Other series is welcome to.
I want a FMP kit now , some are out but i think they where quite bad.
Bad is in looks good if you are a master painter , and looks like crap if you can just about paint. And is not even worth it if you don't paint.
I just got Kotobukiya's 1/144 Huckebein Mk. III (from Super Robot Wars) kit. It's a thing of beauty.
I'm jealous :(
I'm a modeling noob. I've built a few MSG models, but never been able to paint them. After looking at a friend's collection, I've decided to get into painting. Does anyone know any good links to help me? I'm not looking to do MG/PG, I'll probably start off with 1/144 scale.
Im been doing Models off and on and still a noob at it. The only thing thats been holding back from becoming an Big fan at it is that I can't find anyplace near me that sells them and the ones online is too much (I hate being poor.
what do you think of this latest photo?
just finished its bazooka so took another photo.
still need to work on getting it right coz PG is bitch to take good picture :(
Ｖgundam comeon---------
Some more PG kits
These are not new but old kits repainted in Titanz color scheme
Mk-II Titanz
Hey modelers, question: does anyone know if the Aestivalis kit at http://cgi.ebay.com/Bandai-1-48-Nadesico-powersuit-Aestivalis-battle-frame_W0QQitemZ6056426587QQcategoryZ1193QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is a snap-together kit or if it requires glue?
Price and grading system imply that it's snap, but you might not care by now.
Seller said it was a glue kit. As soon as I can work with the stuff (I'll probably do a cheap plane or car kit to learn how to cement properly) it's up there.
if you have local railway model shop check out as they usually carry Tamiya putty and other cheaper variants...
what sort of paints do ya guys recommend to use, ive been using those gundam Markers paint that ive found on the web but it doesn't seem to do the job
i bought a virtual-on gashapon today~! does that count?
(=ﾟωﾟ)__/ It was Fei-Yin~
Where would a veteran recommend I paint my model pieces, if I'm living in a cramped living space i.e. university dorm?
Will I have to resort to putting it on a piece of cardboard and doing it outside?
Anyone into SRW series Gunpla though?
I'm just getting into Gunpla seriously now. I built a couple when I was a tween, but now I'm gonna take it seriously.
So, I bought the OYW RX-78-2. I'm still waiting for my Gundam markers to come in.
gundam is soooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww kool
I never built one but I want to really import one...
which one is good for beginners?
I heard that there are ones you only have to stick together withouth glueing and painting...
cna somebody probide links? I'd love to build a Zaku II
I just started Gunpla November last year, and I currently have:
1/144 HG Gundam Exia
1/144 HG Strike Freedom
1/100 HG Force Impulse
First model was a PG MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, transformable and limited edition.
Second is gonna be an unicorn model.
