Anyone here does Gundam scale modelling?

marzz92They are pre-painted to some extent... Then you would have to do the rest yourself, eg. Detailing, etc

I see.Thanks a bunch for the information.

Actually, my first model was a Destiny Gundam (sick first one, I know) and I had to paint everything. The wings were a pain, and I had to paint in intervals so I could dry the paint and paint different sides without smudging everything else.

Which scale?

I dunno, it was really small.

Hmm, my first was destiny as well. It was the NG 1/144

First and only one I did was a RX-78.

Your looking at my first kit (in avatar)...1/144 scale.Can you spot what is wrong with him-other than lack of paint XD

Other than lack of panel lining, i see nothing wrong with it

I want to buy one of these....robots
I don't mind painting it myself, but I don't want any stupid ass looking one.
I also won't spend that much on my first, so Master and Purrfect grades are out of the question.What are the first grade models like?
Thanks

First grades are those in the 00 line. Exia, Kyrios, Dynames and virtue. They don't cost as much, posing are minimum as well. Weaponry also quite little, they don't give you all the weapons

xmasterchefx · #24I dunno, it was really small.

Size of an action figure?Ethier First grade or High gradeScale is 1/144.First grade same as HG...but easier-like 4 parts to snap in XDHg is my prefferance-takes an hour at most.Master grade is alot..they have screws in them...I only made the arms and legs of my "master" gundam.

i give props to anyone who does thesei tried onceand found out i didnt have enough time and patience for it lol

I bought a HG. Sandrock Custom or something.
Put it together today. Pretty flimsy.
Yes I know they're not meant to be treated like toys,
but you can't even adjust the pose without bits falling off.
Plus, stickers = fail.It was fun though. Next time I think I'll splash out on a Master or Perfect grade...

I bought a Master Grade Zaku ;D
But it does not have screws,unlike mds said....
I'll probably post a picture when its completed ;D

I've done a lot 1/100 and a few 1/144 scale in the Gundam Wing line a few years ago, biggest one I tackled was a 1/60 Perfect Grade Gundam Wing Zero Custom it was so awesome when I got it done, wished I still had it but a guy seen it and bought it off of me for near what I paid for it.Tried to post a boxshot but here is the link instead: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN77659

Wow, i have never done a 1/60 scale before, let alone a PG version, too expensive...

Cheapest PG I saw in Malaysia is RM650 (Around 190.75 USD apparently)
Its a Wing Zero Custom I remember.

Maybe because mine is a fighting action-highly posable.

Gundam Modeling, that sounds awesome!! I live in a kind of small town so we dont have much here. The best for modeling i can get is a whack load of popsicle sticks. Other then that i've made small Gundams off of www.cubeecraft.com (Yes, there are 2 E's).
