@Razorwing: That painted Delta Plus looks pretty cool as well. The other 2 look alright, nothing too fancy :p

This custom build of Sinanju Stein looks pretty good for a HG!

AGE-2 Wears are the best AGE has to offer I'd say. That Delta Plus has a V Fin wtf? lol

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^What's wrong with it having a V fin? The actual Delta Plus is based off of Delta Gundam anyways, so it's not weird if you ask me.

And true that. Everything about AGE 2 is the best in Gundam AGE. It's pilot, it's design, it's way of fighting (due to Asemu), even the pilot's name, haha.

Doesn't seem right on it lol.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I think it looks alright but a bit too small for the Delta Plus's head..

[Razorwing]

On another note.. Episode 42 is going to be delayed.. Sage is going to Otakon. (whatever that is).

Got me at smiling haha.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^You don't know what Otakon is? o_O It's basically a convention for people that like anime, manga and other things that have to do with the Asian pop culture. And saw that among other videos on Gundam Guy and The Verge. It's pretty epic!

Yay! My MG Unicorn has arrived ! Goodbye life! :p

^Yeah, but it's made by fans for fans. Hence the name "Otaku".

Those last 2 builds aren't really my taste but I do like the craftsmanship that's been put into them a lot. Though ? Gundam is a cool Gundam because Bright Noa's son Hathaway pilots it. Though I don't like the shades of colors that they've used.

Oh I see (about the Otaku). I have to disagree with you on the taste of the Gundams yet again. I love those builds. lol

[Ebi]

1/100 MG Unicorn

[Razorwing]

1/100 MG Unicorn

You mean Normal Version or Ver KA?

I guess you like bulky Gundam then. I just can't stand the feet and the head that they put on the Hyper Zeta. Also, you seem to be contradicting yourself with the face of that Hyper Zeta and the Zeta Gundam that had the same face. You don't like the origin Zeta Gundam because of the faceplate, it needs more redness and a "black line" (which I still don't know what you meant by that". Though you seem to like this Hyper Zeta and that modded Zeta Gundam with the same head, even though both don't seem to have the things you wanted the original Zeta Gundam to have on it's faceplate. It's not that I'm telling you should like the Zeta Gundam. I just find it odd how you don't seem to say the same thing about these 2.

The ? Gundam looks alright, but I dislike it's shoulders and feet. Also, these colors (the original) would've looked better on it:

Come to think of it, the chest of the original looks way better as well. The feet of the original also look way better. And the head of the original looks a lot better as well.

[Razorwing]

The Hyper Zeta faceplate doesn't have the chin, and it's more smooth imo. I just hate the Original Zeta chin. First as I said, it's not even red. It's White. Which makes it ugly imo.

[Ebi]

You mean Normal Version or Ver KA?

Normal

[Razorwing]

Nice. Have fun man.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

And that's the reason why I hate the faceplate of the Hyper Zeta and the modded Zeta with the same faceplate :p At least Zeta Gundam's faceplate looks more Gundam-ish than that smooth faceplate.

I've just bought the 1/100 MG Zeta Gundam. I've also bought Gundam Markers for the panel lining. I want to get into panel lining and I'd love to start doing that with the Zeta Gundam.

Also, you can say whatever you want about it. But this Zeta Gundam will have a special meaning to me now that I'll be building it in this period of my life regarding the 'issue' that I talked about several posts back.

lol, If you like it, by all means man. I'm not gonna stop you. I just don't like the design that's all. But surely, enjoy the build. This should be a easy guide. http://www.gundam-fo...l-lining-marker

This is an interesting take on the Unicorn.

http://gundamguy.blo...-03-custom.html

This thing is full of awesome.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^That AGE-2 looks gorgeous. Specially with those colors. They look way better than the originals. And with those decals etc. Though it shouldn't have the EFSF decals, haha.

And yeah, that Unicorn model looks pretty interesting. Look a possible mass production mobile suit.

And I know, but I just wanted to make clear that it has a special reason now and that it wouldn't be nice to bash it, haha. Had to spend almost the whol afternoon to search for a retailer that had the 2.0 version. Then I just thought "Aaah f*ck it, I'll just ask this retailer that ships straight from Bandai.". Turns out that they where able to take my request and ship only 1 Zeta Gundam ver. 2.0 for me, haha.

That also means that that webstore will now be my first stop for Gunpla since they actually take requests. That means I'm able to get Gunpla that aren't even in stock anymore in other stores. Which is a huge plus for me.

Also, thanks for the guide!

[Razorwing]

There's a Bandai webstore? O_o. Link it! How much did you pay for shipping? Are they shipping right out of Japan?

[Razorwing]

Another awesome build.

[Razorwing]

I want to start my Gundam collection, anyone know a reliable online store and which models should I go first? :/

I'd recommend any 1/144 HG (High Grades) for starters. They are less complex than 1/100 MG(Master Grades) and 1/60 PG(Perfect Grades). However, with more complexity, there are more details. For which models.. it really depends which Gundams you like.

I'd recommend these two sites.
