Any Gundam Fans Here? - Melphina - 09-03-2015

Hello, I am new to the forum still but I just wanted to ask if anyone here was a fan of Gundam. Whichever series you liked, makes no difference, however I am making a custom model kit to be submitted to Sunrise for consideration of future gundam designs, and I was wondering if anyone shared this hobby.

*holds up hand* Gundam Wing fan here.  Also of the models, though I can't put them together due to three furbabies.

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - Warren Castille - 09-03-2015

I really dug Wing and G, and I'm a baby-tier Gunpla fan. I've got a box of models yet to be assembled and a couple of partially-completed ones. Doing the lining on faces and seams is too difficult for me, so all of my completed ones look sloppy.

Doesn't stop me from buying new ones to complete "some day."

You're gonna try your best to make me one.

I am a pretty intense fan. I watched most series and know basically the plot and characters of those I haven't. My favorite MS is AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra.

Maaaayyyybe....


Well right now I've assembled about 90% of my Nu Gundam kit (It's an HG) and to be honest I've been trying to customize it. This morning before I went to work I solved an issue wherein I was unable to put a back-mounted weapon except its trademark fin funnels if I wanted to give it a full backpack, and this morning I managed to make a hole good enough for a snug fit for a back-mounted cannon. I'm going to probably add a little more, then it'll be time for sealing and paint

I've watched the original Gundam, Wing, 008th MS Team, G Gundam... basically any of the ones that were readily available state-side. Played a few of the games too, but I didn't really go so far as to get into the more obscure stuff... and I think I got distracted by other things when SeeD and such came out.

My favorite Gundam would be the Epyon by Gundam definitions, but my favorite Mobile Suit is the GM Sniper II. I just really like the idea of a tweaked out specialized base unit that can kick some ass... like any of the Char Custom suits.

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - ɴᴘᴄ - 09-03-2015

Yes, I enjoy the UC-related series, not so much the others. I also build MG gunpla and have kitbashed and modified with resin parts.

Submitting designs to Sunrise sounds very ambitious. Good luck!

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - Warren Castille - 09-03-2015

I've been staring down the MG Tallgeese III (best mobile suit) but don't know if I could do it justice in the build.

I've been looking for a good Tallgeese kit, I love that more rough look it sports as opposed to a gundam.

You have excellent taste, I would have worked on a Gerbera Tetra however for the life of me I can't seem to find any kind of kit. I typically do HG models, but I've been thinking of going to do something much bigger since I've gotten practice.

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - Warren Castille - 09-03-2015

Also, my kingdom for a not-1/144 Bolt Gundam kit.

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - Alderique - 09-03-2015

I have joined the bandwagon alongside an old friend who has started building models and watching some of the series. So far I've built a Build Fighters Try R-Gyagya, and a Gundam AGE Baqto. I've seen Wing, Build Fighters, a portion of Build Fighters Try, and most of 08th MS Team. Will probably watch more in time as I continue to hang out with these folks I've built them with, but it's an enjoyable activity and genre.

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - Nataru - 09-03-2015

Oooooh die hard gundam fan! I've got tons of Gunpla and a few figures :3 Marida is the bae.

RE: Any Gundam Fans Here? - Chris Ganale - 09-03-2015

Nataru, I'm going to raid your house for two of those Marida figures.

That said, I'm definitely a Winger, though I enjoyed G Gundam, the bits of 08th MS Team I've seen, and absolutely love Gundam Build Fighters. The sequel was a bit meh, but still fun to watch. I despise UC because of its director, and the less said about that, the better. That's not to say I don't like the characters from UC, as my opening line made pretty clear.

I used to build a lot of the GundamW models back in the dark ages of modeling where there was no clear standard. Got back into it lately due wholly to GBF. Got a couple Kshatriyas (including Repaired), a Master Grade ZERO Custom, a Master Grade Epyon (the two of which I intend to kitbash together into my own custom, the Streich, as soon as my friend sends me the damn backpack he's made to let me mount the ZERO verniers on the Epyon >.>), and a still-in-the-box MG Strike Freedom that I'm going to paint in the colors of the wyrm mail, kitbash a Gae Bolg for, and rename the Strike Dragoon (I'm so original).
