jargonking Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Anybody out there fans of the Bandai UC Hardgraph series? The concept seems to be futuristic military hardware fighting alongside giant robots. I'd be interested to see any other builds.... A while ago my brother in Hong Kong bought me the EFGF M61A5 Main Battle Tank which is a 1/35 kit that resembles an Israeli Merkava on steroids.... The quality of the parts is fantastic...on a par with Tamiya or Dragon.... I decided to wait until I found some more of the kits before commiting to a build... This turned up on Amazon this week.... Basically a nice set of figures with a motorcycle accompanied by a giant severed robot head The detail is again fantastic.... Includes full colour instructions.... Looking forward to building these now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of the series, but I do own a couple of HardGraph kits. They are very nice models. I have the hover truck thing, which I was going to convert back to a wheeled transport... Something from the Gears of War universe. I also have a figure set, which included pieces from a fallen Robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro-manic Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't have any of the Hardgraph stuff, though I'd love one of the tanks. Too spendy though. I do have quite a few of their 1:100 MG mecha kits though. Also very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigh827 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Have the little hover bike thing, the Command set, and the hover truck. Can't afford the tank but would love to have a couple of them. My hover truck has several extra machine guns added, and when done will be a truck in a world with a zombie problem. Oh and they aren't giant robots, there giant armored suits, some one is in side. Edited March 27, 2013 by bigh827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigh827 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 There is a new kit don't have a link right now, but they got them in the store at Star Ship Modeler and that's how I found out. It's a tiny jet fighter, and I mean it looks smallish. Like the cockpit of an AH-1 or AH-64 with engines stuck to it's sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro-manic Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 It's the Core Fighter. It folds up and becomes the centre section (and escape pod for) the Gundam. HLJ Link: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN967077/Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorheadtx Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 The Semovente is an amazing kit - I've seen several built, all in different schemes. It's a BIG tank when finished, a real brute..... think Abrams, Challenger, or Leopard on 'roids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I'm very much a fan, I've managed to pick up a few here and there but not Ramba Ral's commandos. I was delighted to find a couple of the hover truck in a tiny shop in Singapore last year - I bought one, couldn't fit the other in my case. The production run sold out (according to HLJ) and they've been going for silly-ish money on eBay. Something a bit different but part of this series are the two 1/144 "Ground War" sets, which come with a Gundam or Zaku and small scale versions of the vehicles. The suits aren't as fancy as the Real Grade bits, but the little tiny tanks are lovely. Will Edited April 4, 2013 by Will Vale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLJ Link: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN967077/Gun Thanks for link. That's what I was talking about, tiny little thing, and now that I know it fits in one of the suits, I understand why it's so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
