Gundam Plamodel Thread IV

[Beltane70]

The 1/144 Gundam TR-6 ［Haze'n-thley II-Rah] that I pre-ordered should be shipping some time this week according to the email I got from P-Bandai. I can’t wait!

[Mommar]

Anybody interested in the RG Hi-Nu?  The pre-order just went up.

Super interested, must buy!

[Mommar]

I'm wondering if they're going to sell the Hi-Nu locally at BBTS.  It's a normal release so it shouldn't be any more expensive plus shipping is way cheaper.  I already have two of the regular Nu, one plain and the other with HWS Armor, and the DelpiDecal Water slides and they're pretty good kits.

I wasn’t as excited for the hi nu or the nightingale, but they ended up a bonus for the items I was really excited about and those were the rg decals for the Sazabi and nu gundam. I knew they would do them eventually, but I didn’t think it would take so long. I also ordered the Hathaway set. Soon I’ll finally get around to building those two rg kits. Honestly I didn’t even know those were coming out last night

For some reason I thought that was the RE version.  I wonder how different that is?

In terms of? Scale, since RE is 1/100? Or design, such as details and panel lines?

 

[Big s]

Honestly from the teaser pictures the hg version looks better to me. Usually it’s not so much scale, but which kit is newer usually looks better. Like a lot of the mg gm kits from 0080 look better than the hg or how the hguc sazabi looked better than the first mg Sazabi.

as far as the teasers go the hg nightingale looks proportioned a bit better and may be more pose able. The weight of the smaller kit may help in some regards, but it’s interesting that the price is very close to the re/100

Here's the size:

They've got some good color separation on that Hi-Nu.  Interesting metallic parts, especially for the bazooka.  I wonder if they'll look that good off the runner or if it will take some work.

If BBTS doesn't get it, USAGundamStore is, pre-order is already up.

Very nice! I was shocked too when I finished my copy, I knew it was to be big but not that big. Are you doing a custom color scheme or sticking with Titans colors?

Did you deliberately place it next to the cat for scale? Looks like a dangerous move haha

haha for some reason my cat only goes after zeeks because he thinks he can chew on the tubes

I just thought it was some kind of test type mobile armor 

[anubis20]

Finished MG Duel Gundam. Right at the very end I got this silly idea of not wanting to scratch the paint by putting on the Assault Shroud. I ended up buying a junker Duel to paint up and put the Assault Shroud on. Won't be truly finished with this kit for another couple of months

Looks great. The pictures make me long for a Metal Build version of the Duel Gundam. Even if Yzak was a jerk.

This why I left the Duel for last... I hate Yzak

Oooooh... 2nd Form. I'm so in love!   If Bandai's going to make a booster for that, would you get it too?

Great job @anubis20!

Almost lost my coffee when I ran across this on Twitter

 

[Big s]

Someone was bound to do that with those effects at some point.

Have to say that the Virtue looks a bit plain although that might just be the result of Bandai only releasing CG images (something I wish they wouldn't do). In general though I do feel that the current generation of MG's lack a certain charm and presence compared to those released prior to the MG Jegan (which started the downward spiral as far as I'm concerned...)

 

[anubis20]

2nd Duel is finished and now I can finally call this build complete   I was getting sick of this build by the end so its not as polished as the first Duel I built. I also used a different brand of decals that were not as good and the 1st set I got. The good thing is that the decals on the assault shroud were from the first set so the color is much better on them.  Also I love how the Duel looks armored up but Bandai really half assed that front skirt connection. Basically when posing I removed it every time I touched the kit because it would fall off so easily.

That's a good looking Gundam.  Can you post a group shot?  Such fantastic work on all of these.  What's next on the plate, other than a nice long break?  The CB suits?

[General Rasp]

The Duel looks amazing! I would love to see a group shot also.

I get about a week long break and then its back to the builds  Next up will be MG Deathscythe Hell Custom followed by the MG Providence. Those two I have already snapped them from the runners and yesterday I started the MG ZZ ka. I might put the ZZ on hold to work on the Justice.
