rockpopandchips Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) I couldn't resist the temptation of starting this so I just put the inner frame together, an amazing bit of kit with so many amazing details tucked away.

rockpopandchips Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Might have to turn this into a general Gundam build thread as I snapped two more HG kits together this week. I will be snapping the RG Unicorn together next. Edited March 15, 2019 by rockpopandchips 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is compared to these two, the RG Sazabi is the same size as a normal MG 1/100 kit. Added the bazooka from the RG Unicorn to give the GM a bit more fire power. My Gundam stash is now 2 and 2 more arriving, mostly replacements for my MG that I sold off. Still have to build these 2 to properly build as well, it could be a summer of Gundam.....

Will Vale Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Oh nice, like Nick I really like the Geara Doga. There was a super custom MG in one of the Japanese mags which looked fantastic. W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W I have seen quite a few nice custom Dogas, I will keep the colours similar to the original but add lots of surface details, vents hols hatches etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Slow start, working out how to add thrusters to the top of each calf and some fuel tanks to the backpack. Edited April 8, 2019 by rockpopandchips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) A simple but effective leg extension done by extending a peg and adding another polycap. Backpack is coming together as well... Edited April 10, 2019 by rockpopandchips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ah, sorry, the laptop screen was dazzled by the light through the window. Ahem, what a lovely shade of green those legs are. I don't think I ever even drove a Mk3. Nice looker though, especially the top spec versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done a y more as I have been walking around castles in the North East of England but did add the ankle thrusters before I went away. A crap shot of the most amazing Bamburgh castle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Started snapping another kit together, the RG Unicorn.... So far the legs and feet along are one of the Gundam kits I have built, the number of parts, fit, colours ( I know it's all white but it's not...) and details are ready quite amazingly brilliant. It's one you really have to build and have in your hand to fully appreciate. Edited April 28, 2019 by rockpopandchips 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffered from the common Pinto cam-shaft oil-feed issue... Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car I wish I never sold even with the oil leaks and leaking bake systems.... Really not had much hobby time at the moment, bloody DIY...... Did get the guy snapped together and I must say the has to be one of the best plastic model kits I have ever built! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
