Hello! I have decided to share pics of my Gunpla Kits! I am ages away to be able to properly assemble higher grades so I will share pics of my HGUC! Feedback (I am looking at you Onai and Bayjan!) is always appreciated.
First one is the starter set with Gundam RX-78-02 and Zaku Type II!
(https://ibb.co/hF0fNCn)
Isn't it "Qapla"?
The good old Gundam. Loved the animated series as a kid.
WONDERFULL!!!
I have build some nice models. I will make some nice pictures when I am at home.
Momentarily I am a proud owner of:
MS-06 Zaku II
MS-06 FZ Zaku II Kai (Fritz Helmet)
MS-06JK Zaku half cannon
MS-11 Act Zaku
MSM-03 Gogg
MSM-04 Acguy (very old model)
RGM-79 GM
RGM-79G GM Command
On the workbench is:
MS-06K Zaku Cannon (old model)
MS-06R Zaku II High mobility type (old model, I do a custom paintjob on it)
MS-06D Zaku Desert Type (old model)
MS-06R-2 Zaku Johnny Ridden (old model)
RGM 79 GM Sniper Custom (old model)
Since the old models come in just one plastic color I will have to airbrush them to look nice. I like the colors from the Zaku Cannon and the Desert Zaku, so I think I will stick with it. But of course Johnny Ridden deserves a red Zaku (of course!!!!).
As you can see, Onai likes Zakus. If more of you could play MSG BO2 then we would found the 36th Zeon Mobile Suit Squad.
The Gunpla also has a wonderful box art!
One of my favorites.
By the way, The rifle, Franz EF-KAR98K, is a setting designed based on real "Kar98k" in the story of Gundam. That developer is German.

Gunpla that I made in the past.

I agree!
Ok Nr.2 of my collection, a "Must Have", Char's Zaku II! SIEG ZEON!

The Fritz Helmet Zaku II, a MS-06 FZ Zaku II Kai
A RMS-106 Hizack (that thing regularly drops out of by bock shelf... it is a little suicidal :gaga: )
A ZGMF-1017 Miguel's GINN from Gundam Wing (I like the sword, but have to paint it, as it is, it looks not good)

My pride and joy. A MS-06R Zaku II High mobility type.
Again an old model. Since the old ones need to be painted I chose for a desert version. As you might see, I like a worn and torn look. This Zaku has seen some action and has scratches. So expect my other projects to have a similar look.
Onai you make StarBlaze so proud :3
Zaku I! Not one of my best models since, back in the day, I didn't have any proper technique at all, in fact, you can see that there are some leftover "Spurs" on it.

A MSM-03 Gogg harrasing a RGM-79G GM Command
"SASUGA Gogg DA! NANTOMO-NAIZE!"
When I watch the photograph, I also came to want a box of Gogg again!
The Gogg is very nice and was fun to build. I like the detailed single fingers :mrgreen: I think they usualy come in Real Grade (?). Anyway the kit is cheap and it is a big fat Zeon Mobile Suit, so I had to have it :mrgreen:
Next! Still HGUC, RX-75 and RX-77-2. The Guncannon is still one of my favorites. I should grab the new version :)

Here it comes the Gouf! I really like this MS and moreover its iconic pilot Ramba Ral, it is a very interesting character!

Green Pokemon Ball?

No!
Big ZAKU HEAD! lol
About 20 kinds are sold in the ZAKU head series.
It is only parts of the head but it is very elaborate.
New product I saw in Akihabara today.

Ah that's 8th Mobile Suit Team!
Goufs and Doms. Great MS!!!
And the models look fantastic. A Kaempfer vs. Gundam Alex. also a wonderfull scene!
Here we go again! Back in the day I was able to find this Set for a very cheap price so it was an instant grab. It has Char's Z'Gok which a model I really like a lot. Sea-operation MS are my favourites specially Zeon's someway they remind me Cyclops and the myth of Polifemo from Odissea :)
(https://ibb.co/tHsgyvB)
(Please, note the Gogg in a very Italian pose)
Uuuhh nice, are what scale are they?
ジオン水泳部set!
Rai-san, You got a good buy.
If I remember correctly, It should have a nice manual attached.
(Btw, What "Italian pose"?)
Speaking of "exclusive use of Char", There used to be such a video.

Italians have a unique way to communicate with their hands, here is a brief summary:

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Onai-san, Arigato- :-)
"Italian pose", I learnt something new today.
When looking at the gunpla made by the Italians, I will focus on the hand shape. :-D
(Such an explanation is very interesting because Japanese people are not good at body or hand gestures)
What is this Gogg trying to tell?
I guess it is the "forget about it" pose.
Starblaze, lift the mystery, what is the Gogg trying to tell us?

It is 1/144, typical HGUC.

It is a mix between "What the Fuck" and "I don't care" poses.
Ok! This is the last Gunpla I completed, I bought it in Seoul when I was away for a business trip!

Bonus: GM!

Interisting choice.
The Mobile Worker is in many ways comparable to what is described in Batttletech as Industrial Mechs or Agromechs (Example: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Buster (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Buster))
Although they need to fill the evolutionary gap between the "modern" Mobile Suits ,that we all know and love, and their origins, I do not like that particular design.
Speaking of evolution: I realy like the old school GM. The design is crude and rough and the model reflects this early stages of Mobile Suit technology. The model is very flexible and posable and makes a good sparing partner for any ZAKU 3:)
Starblaze, you should try inking it highlights the details of the models ver nice and is easy to apply. Try it, I can give you advise on it, and if you don't like it it is removable.

I tried, I even bought BANDAI pens to do it, but, in the end, I didn't really like the effect. I still prefer them clean as possible.
I had the experience with the pens too. I tried inking with a thin brush and regular painting ink from a small glas pot and then thinned with water to a solution of 1/3 ink to water.
When I (finaly) come and visit you, we will make a small workshop :mrgreen:
About スミ入れ (Sumi-ire: lining black?)
It may be better to prepare two types of Gundam-malker(BANDAI pens), black and gray.
Using a black-malker for the part you want to emphasize(Only Line around chin portion of the Gundam's face) and a gray-malker for the other parts(Other line of face parts)
I prefer gray-malker because It is over-emphasized when using a black-malker as a whole.
This HP may be helpful for painting Gunpla.

Thanks :D
These are different from gunpla... but are cool Box arts!
(These are also plastic models made with the same technology as Gunpla)
I hear that Glendizer is broadcast in France and is very popular, but was these broadcast in Germany?
The original series by Go Nagai were broacasted for long time in Italy. I basically grew up with those. My fav was GETTER ROBO!
Gunpla Box art exhibition! :-D
https://art.parco.jp/parcomuseum/detail/?id=205
Yuji Kaida, I like his Box art because he draws mobile suits like industrial products.
I want to see Mech he draws.

I heard that Steel Zeeg is popular in Italy, so I thought you liked too.
But I never thought that a live-action film of Steel Jeeg would be made in Italy.
Btw Speaking of GETTER ROBO, Such toy were released before......
Perfect morphing GETTER ROBO! >:O
http://studio-halfeye.com/works/grr/grr.html
When I first saw it I was astonished
Actually that italian movie is not really about Nagai's Robot. They simply took the name "Jeeg" cause it reminds something "Invincible" as that Robot. It was so popular that if you say it "Jeeg" italians istantly think about it. Here's the theme in Italian:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDWD5Q0lc9I
"Corri e và, per la terra! Corri e và, tra le stelle, tuuu che puoi diventare JEEEG!"
Wonderful pictures, thanks BayYan for sharing them with us.
I guess you had a great day :-)
Scratch my Ball! :D

Do not mock ze ball! Lore-wise, it was the worst and cheapest mobile suit of federation, used just at the end of the one year war with children as pilots too.
This is for Bay-san! YMS-15 Gyan!

Aaah! "Beyond The Time"! Unless I am wrong it was part of Char's Counterattack OST, it is one of my favs themes. Here's the original:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE6SAE1tCEE
I am not watching Origin TV series cause I watched all movies. I hope they will go on and do the remaining parts. Gundam Origin is damn good. I hope they do the same with Gundam Z.
Btw, about Gundam Z...

It seems that the full version will come out early next year.
I hope they will make a proper Gundam the Origin serie! The movies were pretty good!
Meanwhile, since a lot passed since I posted some of my gunpla, there you go!

8th MS Team! Reporting for Duty!
For sure, till now my fav serie (except that single episode in which Amada dodges a Zaku bullet...)
Hathaway's Flash SP movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3O4I4eivgc
40th movie, Completed version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HmrGmLDdC0
I never red Hataway's Flash so I am very curious about this new movie (plus it is in my favourite setting, the UC).
Since I am blocked at home, I finished a Model that it was on my desk for too long!
(https://ibb.co/b50CGmG)
And here are some of my beloved models that I bought when I visited Japan and Bayan and Greyfalcon:
ZGMF-1000/A1 Maria Hawkes Gunner ZAKUMy beloved Luna Maria Hawkes Gunner ZAKU from Gundam Seed Destiny. A really cool 1/100 MG model with all the details you like. AND a big M1500 "Orthros" high-energy long-range beam cannon that is foldable! :mrgreen:
Also you get a ZAKU MA-M8 beam tomahawk, four hand grenades and of course the handy MMI-M633 beam assault rifle to shoot down pesty ORB Astreys :mrgreen:
The model has so many joints that you can pose it in any way you want! I absolutely love it. And the best part: I bought it as I visited Bayan and Greyfalcon in Tokyo in Diver City. A dream come true!
I LOVE IT!!!
MS-07H-8 Gouf Flight TypeA Gouf Flight type 1/144 HG as seen in 08th MS Team. Also one of my favorites. I like the big shield with integrated gatling gun and heat sword. Zeon Mobile Suits are the best :mrgreen:
FA-78-1 Full Armor GundamI bought this and another model in a Lawsons in Kyoto. These are so called G-Frame Models. A pack contains either the basic frame and "chassis" but no weapons or a more flexible base frame with weapons but no parts for the chassis. They are about 1/200 or so. Quite nice for 500 Yen each.
MS-07B-3 Gouf CustomThe second model I bought from the G-Frame series. And did I mention: Zeon Mobile Suits are the best :mrgreen:
>>StarBlaze-san
FAG type TB!
It was unexpected that you would build it.
I thought you were going to build the Psycho-Zaku before then. 8-|
>>Onai-san
Congratulations on the completion of ZGMF-1000.
Big Long weapon, yahari ii-ne!
Greyfalcon is very interested in the background of your photo. :-)
The pictures of you two made me head to Akihabara to buy a MG-Gogg.
But I couldn't find it...orz. There was a ACGUY...
I booked this one instead.lol
MS-15KG GYAN-Krieger
Beam lance, a very energy inefficient looking weapon, is very nice! >:O

Moving Gundam video 1-10+
https://youtu.be/k-ehtWpAmCg
Subtitles available
I saw the early videos of it an I am looking forward to the day it is finished. Definetly worth looking at on the next trip to Japan! ;-)
GYAN KG arrived! \(^^)/
But Gyan without missile shield seems odd. ^^;;
I think it also has the G-Line Assault Armor Heat Lance. All in all it looks fitting but I agree, Gyan needs the needle shield and the beam saber.
I got me a nice Dra-C. But had no time to make some nice photos. I have to post them here (reminder to myself).
So this Gyan model weights 15 kilogram?
>>Onai san
I will still have to buy HGUC YMS-15 again for the missile shield.
>>Joshua san
This Gunpla may come a little closer to the weight. lol
RX-78-2 GUNDARIUM ALLOY MODEL
GUNDARIUM ALLOY : Ti+Al+Yo ALLOY
In passing, the price is about 1,800 euros, and it sold out within a few hours after starting the reservation.><
I did some buying on Aliexpress ( to the great dislike by my beloved wife) and bought one mystery box of Gunpla.
Here is what I got:
It is a Daban MG 1/100 Build Strike Fighter Full Package, a fitting MG 1/100 Grand Slam Sword and a not fitting Apex Legends Metal Sticker blister. Only the last one I did not like, but hey, it was a very good price in all (about 60€ incl. shipping)
I watched Gundam Build Fighters a few weeks ago and did not like the beginning, in the end it got better and I think it to be better than the following Gundam build Divers. I like however the Strike Gundam from Gundam Seed. Anyway, I am very satisfied what I got and I think it will be really cool. SO, this going to be my second MG 1/100 Gunpla and my first Daban kit. I am looking forward to some nice relaxing hours building the kit.
I will make some pics when I am done with it. 8-|

Still waiting for a HG 1/144 Blu Duel Gundam from Gundam Seed Stargazer (one of the few Gundam that got brutally torn apart in all the Gundam series by non Gundam mobile suits), I also ordered from Aliexpress
