Gundam General Thread

You heard the doge, post your plastic models and discuss all things Gundam.

Chuchumy Alexis.

Will update this post with pics later. I dont have a good camera so phone camera will have to suffice

Post dem pics meng

This took me 11 hours. Nub mark removal is...troublesome.

Just a newbie to building so any tips would be nice guys.

Now to spend another half a day on the Trans Am Booster...

Recently got done watching AGE. No idea why so many people say it's terrible. It has some pacing problems due to being cut short, sure, but it's far from the worst Gundam I've seen.

Nice plastic model Dawg, looks sweet. TRANS AMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Haven't seen AGE, heck I've only seen a small selection of Gundam anime in all honesty.

Then you should watch G Gundam so you can know why we were happy with just a 3 second cameo of Domon in BFT

But I already know who Domon and Char are.

Hahaha. I'm planning to at least watch the first Gundam to start my UC experience. Need to actually know the context of "3x the speed" before using it.

And so i can officially join the ranks of people shouting at Sunrise for a Crossbone anime.

I still haven't finished up UC. I still need to watch ZZ and Victory.

That reminds me, I still need to watch the official sub of Reconquista in G, since a dub is doubtful at this point.

Finally done the booster after a week hahaha.

Exia Amazing is too Edgy.

WIll be my first MG

So uh, I dunno if anyone else knows this (because I didn't until recently) but apparently AGE is currently airing a dub.

This surprises me. Not only due to it being about 3 years late at this point, but also I figured it'd never get dubbed due to Sunrise's' usual policy of "If Japan doesn't like it then the US certainly won't."

So like, they opened a Hobby Town USA here a while back and they have Gundams...

^ The Tallgeese, Freedom, Aegis, 00 Raiser, Zeta Plus, and Hi-Nu (unbuilt) I bought at said Hobby Town. The rest I already had.

Also, I need to get back into watching Gundam...

Are those MGs? The 0 Raiser looks well detailed compared to my bro's HG one. I love the look of the Tallgeese.

So this is my updated collection. Recently finished Build Burning and aside from my copy having some quality check issues (and the dreaded Build Burning shoulder Polycaps version 1.fail), it's a darn awesome HG woth loads of accessories and amazing articulation.

Yeah, they are MG's. I love the detail in these 1/100 scale units. Also got this the other day:

Probably gonna start putting it together today...

And nice Gundams btw

Here's my collection of Gunpla, I mainly have No-Grades/HGs and only two RGs and one MG.  The Jupitris is a wooden model that my older brother and I made from scratch about 10 years ago.

Things just got Nu around here...

 
Also, gunz 'n missiles:


I still need to get the motivation to put all the decals on my MG models...

*EDIT*
Cooler pic of Hi-Nu:

Very nice kits guys. Any of those Top coated? Gonna try and work on top coating some of my kits to see the result.

Honoo took me the longest to build cause of class and just lazying around ahahah




Blaze on Gunpura!!!

Next is most likely Zaku Amazing. Need more non gundam Gundam models.

Watching 0079.

UC is so far refreshing compared to 00 and IBO.

So like, I finally watched 00 a few months back, and it was pretty boss. Because of it I ended up buying this:


Which now I have finally started after sitting on it for a couple months...


And with a 1/144 RG O Raiser:


I ended up building the O Raiser first because I just thought it looked so badass as a heavily armed space plane. Or as one of my friends called it, a cape, since the 00 Gundam wears it like a cape lol...

Oh, also bought a couple other Master Grade Gundams from 00...




Also, is Iron Blooded Orphans any good? Been thinking about watching it. Also need to get around to watching Unicorn.

Holy crap that treasure load.

IBO is praised as the "best Gundam show to have come out in a while" by a number of fans and non-fans alike.

Personally, it was a mixed bag for me. The first half I really liked, but the second was kindof boring and made me infuriated at times.

Tho, I really like the mobile suit designs of it the most. And, it so far, has no beam weaponry, and many of the suits have a lot of Knights and Melee inspirations into them. The Gundams are named from the Ars Goetia demons.

And I have many of the HGs, as they are excellent, and some feature full inner frames. On an HG! I mostly kept up with the show just cause I love the different designs of the suits.

In the end, it's a mediocre show that definitely succeeded in its goal: "Sell the toys". But I did get some enjoyment out from it, so you might end up liking it more than I did.

So were Gundam 00 and Gundam Unicorn, to be fair.

Well, I might give it a watch then. Been needing some more Gundam in my diet

Also, that Perfect Grade 00 Raiser is gonna take a bit of time to finish lol...

Gundam 00 was good. Haven't watched Unicorn. I'm starting from the beginning of UC.

I just keep tabs on IBO mech designs and model kits tbh.
