i am going to build gundam models as a hobby... i just bought a MG model, i can't wait till it gets here.

anyone here ever built one? show me what you got 🙂
 
don't do a pg as your first one, it'll make you sad when you look back someday. heh

which mg model did you get?
 
I built a snap together/paint Wing Zero from gundam wing. It even changed inot the crazy bird/plane mode. But I lost the box I kept it in. 🙁
 
Heh, last year a friend of mine had a birthday party, and said he wanted a gundam model for a gift if people were so inclined. Well word got around, and when it came time to unwrap gifts, he ended up with 5 gundam models.
 
I did when I was a kid. I got a MG Zeta Gundam. Now that thing is like.. kinda broken 🙁

I also got a nu gundam and a V2 gundam (1/60 model, that thing was huge!), I don't really remember what happened to them 🙁
 
the 1/60 stuff was pretty low quality if i remember correctly, right?

zeta + waverider transformation = cool

i thought he was talking about the old resin kits from the 80's/early 90's. i thought he meant V gundam and not markII
 
I have some MGs, but I haven't built them yet, and my others are not worth taking pictures of 😛. If you're afraid of messing up, go for a high grade (HG). The new ones are pretty good, like the Astray Red Frame. The Gundam Wing HG are not that good.

1/60 are ok. The perfect grades are 1/60, but the no grade/jumbo grade/real detail grades are similar to the HG but with more features.

For reviews and pics of built (although they're not that well built) models, check out www.dalong.net (I think it's in Korean).

Cody's Kwok's models are well built: www.codyscoop.com

 
yeah i did a few. it seems they are all low quality and very easy to do.

part of the trouble is even finding them. it seems the makers are dumbing them down. most models are already painted and pretty much put togehter. what happened to a good detailed model that took some skill?
