Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Anyone know of a service where I can get MG skeletons or just hands? 422877[/snapback] i know hlj.com offers replacement spruces... i think there's another online vendor who does it but the site excapes my mind at the moment...
lechuck Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 You are probably thinking of rainbow ten: http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/english/
Valkyrie Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 This isn't quite Gunpla... but it's still probably the best place on MW for this: Check out what I snagged at Wizard World today for $85 http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL1976 Also got an HCM RX-178 for $10

WOW good find!!
Valkyrie Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 So you got a $435 kit for 85 bucks?! WOW good find!! 422950[/snapback] Well, I don't know if it's worth quite that much, now that there's a master grade kit of it. In fact, I'd be quite interested to see what the going rate is. But in any case, it's a hell of a kit! I'd be interested to see how it compares to the MG kit in terms of detail.
olivers Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) The quality looks a bit lacking considering the £1750 asking price. Hell if anyone wants a commision I'm sure I could come up with something similar for a lot cheaper. I would want opening cockpit with full detail. Opening arms and manouvering thrusters on the legs/backpack. At least a year ago I remember a scratchbuild of a Zeta/Sentinal/??? at about 1/35 scale. It showed a gundam in trememndous detail and had loads of pilots/mechanics in spacesuits flying around it. Not sure if anyone has the links/pics of it as I would prefer that to the above Gundam. I did find this however: http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=2608 Still more detail than the above. However Gundam vs the nice girl. No contest edit: It is the model on the cover of this book: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4499205...glance&n=465392 Edited August 6, 2006 by olivers
rnurmin Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 LOL, I guess all of us are wondering the same thing. If that lady is included in the price tag of $3,500, Man, sign me up Screw the model. How much for the broad? 422570[/snapback] Ahh we think alike !!! 422628[/snapback]
Noriko Takaya Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Try explaining this to your significant other, who probably dislikes your Gundam hobby to begin with, if you come home with this. Mayhem assured!!
capt.actionjackson Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 When I see something like that I think 2 things: 1. The person who buys that doesn't have a significant other 2. The person who buys that doesn't want to have a significant other for longer than it takes for he/she to unwrap and build it
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Or in some sick fetish the gundam becomes the significant other.
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 For 3 grand I'd expect that thing to come with a real rifle... or the girl... whichever has the fewest import restrictions on it (which my guess would be the girl).
j_wong00 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Finally got around to the actual Gundam huh. I was wondering when this would happen after I saw this a few years ago.
Vermillion21 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I guess the piece would make a great store display ....
akt_m Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 they should make one that can walk on its own and can be remote controled or programed to shot at people. imagine a security patrol sentry gundam guarding your house. but it would cost 100x more...
Hikuro Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Now wasn't there a Radio Controled Zaku that could shoot beebee's and had a real cheap Digital camera on the mono eye or something and the controler could watch on one of those tiny screens what the Zaku would see? I remember hearing something about that a few years back, I know of a RC Dom...but I'm pretty sure it was a Zaku I heard about.
areaseven Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) You know u want it. 420244[/snapback] Not a fan of the movie, but I definitely want that kit. Edited August 20, 2006 by areaseven
zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 the F-91 is very nice. it has sold out quite quick in most places which is no surprise. i want to get a second one to make the Capt Harrisons Black custom. here is mine, i still have to sand the sprues and paint and detail it.
zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 thankfully it is a little bigger then i thought, from the pictures i had seen it seemed smaller
zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 also have a few other kits to finish first, the Coreworks Strike Freedom.
zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) MG Nemo, this is a awesome kit right here and i highly recomened it. the silver is far more shiny in real life, in the pics it looks kind of flakey. Edited August 10, 2006 by zeo-mare
zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 backside, i like to thank Fulcy for the metal beads and Boosters, they are perfect i will definetly be getting more. chris
kensei Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 My turn to bring the enws. MG Crossbones Gundam. http://www.toysdaily.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=51053 1/100 Saviour Gundam. Can't find the bloody link no more.
azrael Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 From Gunota: HGUC Zaku I Sniper Type (currently planned) HGUC RGM-79FP GM Striker (currently planned) 1/100 Saviour Gundam - October The November issue of Dengeki Hobby will come with new Hazel enhancement parts. Saviour definitely looks like it got cleaned-up by BEE-Craft. http://mimibukuro.ddo.jp/contents/CH2006-02.html I can finally toss my HG 1/144 Saviour then. Looks like GSX-401FW Stargazer HG 1/144 is also in the works. Now to go grab MG F91 and Hyaku Shiki w/Ballute and HG Strike Noir....*checks wallet*
promethuem5 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I demand info on that white and orange on underneath the 8th MS team kits... 4th one down. That is a sick looking kit.
azrael Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Woah....Gundam X Stuff. Alright! Customs. Looks like Resin kits. I demand info on that white and orange on underneath the 8th MS team kits... 4th one down. Say "Please". Kids these days...no manners. Custom/Scratch-built.
kensei Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Woah....Gundam X Stuff. Alright! Customs. Looks like Resin kits. 426602[/snapback] Dream killer. You're right about the Saviour I think. Beecraft always takes the SEED Designs to a whole new level. I'm very impressed. Surely a Gaia 1/100 will come out soon. I'm sick of those screwy little 1/144s.
promethuem5 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Say "Please". Kids these days...no manners. Custom/Scratch-built. Lol, please and thank you... too bad, I really like it.
azrael Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 You're right about the Saviour I think. Beecraft always takes the SEED Designs to a whole new level. I'm very impressed. Surely a Gaia 1/100 will come out soon. I'm sick of those screwy little 1/144s. 426604[/snapback] Judging by kits released so far, I think Bandai is testing the waters with BEE-Craft entering into the 1/100s (And probably looking at BEE-Craft doing the redesigns of all Gunpla HG 1/144 and up). This could also account for why we haven't seen too many GSD kits. BEE-Craft is cleaning them all up from the original lineart (the lineart isn't the best for making models). They are also testing out their work in animation (Stargazer). I'm surprised we still haven't seen anything from Destiny Astray or Delta Astray yet. A 1/100 Gaia has a good chance (I remember there was talk about it but that was when I-Justice was still being looked into).
kensei Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Actually I got an IJ, and was pretty disappointed with the kit in terms of relation to the lineart. Then again, it was only a 1/100 standard. The 1/100 SF though, really looked bad. The 1/60 looked superb. I wish that they give IJ a 1/60 chance or even a 1/100 MG. Cause that would be sweet.

azrael Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Ah Mesarion...When he first posted I-Justice on Ebay, it went for atleast $300 US. He does give me lots of good ideas for my kits... What is Beecraft? BEE-CRAFT is Junichi Akutsu. He's a designer for lots of Gunpla. He's been using the pseudonym BEE-CRAFT to do detailed drawings of many designs from Gundam and making them a a bit more, model friendly. He's even taken some of Katoki's redesigns and adapted them. He is one of the mecha designers in SEED.
