there's something I don't quite understand. These models seem that can be positioned in various stances, how can you paint them if the joints are movable? Do people glue the joints?
Why is no one painting here! It looks so much better even if it's just one color

The trouble with painting is the huge upfront cost with compressor, paints, mixers, putty, primer, base coat, gloss.It's way way worse than keyboards.That's the upsetting part, I have all this stuff in Canada already...

Show ImageDamn you rich people.. Tp4 wish he could afford all that stuff to paint models.
I have built a couple of Gundams (was one of my favorite shows growing up). I also really like zoids but they are hard to find/expensive now.

Gundams are tall and lanky for NO good REASON..

Glad to see other gunpla and mech fans here. My backlog is huge but this is my most recently completed kit before waterslides:Show Image I'll try to snap up pics of the end product.
That's why I'd never consider painting. Not that it doesn't look great, just too much upfront cost for what would amount to painting a few toys. And who knows how many times I'd actually use it, plus the cost and waste of buying paint for such small projects.
This might be a fun little activity I just never watched much gun dam beyond wing.
Yeah, it's really fun to do and the final piece is cool to look at
Can I suggest 8th MS team its pretty short and very good or if you like newer animation style Gundam unicorn would be good, or even Gundam 00
Do people still like Zoids? Show Image
Show Imagegot around to coating today finally

Whats like a super epic gun dam if I decide to try 1 or 2 of these.

Whatever looks good to you man An easy way to browse is on any gundam site or ebay, just refine to whatever grade you want (you'll probably want to start with a high grade) and see what catches your eye.On another note here's the exia dark matter w/ a matte coat:Show Image002 by Harwood Wolfson, on FlickrShow Image011 by Harwood Wolfson, on FlickrMoreShow Image003 by Harwood Wolfson, on FlickrShow Image004 by Harwood Wolfson, on FlickrShow Image006 by Harwood Wolfson, on FlickrShow Image007 by Harwood Wolfson, on Flickrand the sengoku astray before stickers and coating:Show Image021 by Harwood Wolfson, on Flickr

Nice! I was super into these when I was young. It was one of my main life regrets though, I spent 10 days in Japan when I was like 14, visiting a friend, and all I wanted to do was look for models... total waste of time :/

Even though the set is large, as in a big as a pg mk ii box, it's deceptively light. So someone put it out when garbage collection happened and I never saw it again. Lol
I've always wanted to get more into the gundam building. Do you guys watch the show a lot or do you just like the models?
I used to watch it when it first came on toonami (gundam wing) and then the season with the golden suits(?) but I feel like I'm missing out on a series with so much.
