Cool Completed: Something a Little Diff (Mods, please read b4 moving, thank you)

Hello everyone, i havent really posted any of my work here on AF cuz iam still new at modelling and my work isnt the greatest.
But here is my first post of my work. Well at first i didnt know whether to post this in the Street and Show threads or the Racing Threads because....welll...this isnt a car lol. So i decided to post here. This is a 1/60th Scale Perfect Grade Gundam. Its a Wing Zero Custom. I just finished her a couple of mins ago. I know this is called Automotive Forums, but we are all modellers here and i believe we all have the appreciation for a well made kit and i just wanted to share my work with you guys. So here go the pics. Enjoy









Picture showing the little figure of the pilot. His name is Hero, those of you who are familiar with the Gundam series already know this.


Showing off the Leds:
The circutry for the leds was super wachked, i dunno what Bandai was thinking when they produced it. So i drilled a few holes, cut a few pieces, soldered a few wires and made my own circut.




And here is the Final Stance


Well i hope you all enjoyed the pics. This is my first gundam kit. I am quite proud of my self for bulding this kit. The description said a very complex model when i bought it but it turns out there is no cement or paint required. Everything is held with screws and mostly snap together peices. Thanks for looking!! C&C welcome.

Ron

Dont think this belongs here as there are plenty of Gundam forums but nice work. i built these kits 7-8 years ago but i smashed them all when i went through some hard times. looks good, keep it up.

That looks sweet I built a Gundam years ago, There pretty fun kits to build, I think A.F. should have a non-auto models section, we would get a lot more cool builds like this on the forum.

I, for one, don't mind seeing something other than cars on this forum. I've been thinking of doing something like this myself. Nice work.

As its been discussed before, we prefer modes of transportation vs. figures.

Hey every1, thanks for the comments. Yes it would be nice if AF has a offtopic section for the modellers where we could post other things such as my gundam. It is a nice change, anyway delete if you much mods. Thanks.

Bandai produces Gundam models...not Mattel

It looks good but PG's should be taken through all the steps of normal modeling...i.e Putty, sanding, painting. Ive got an MG downstairs that ive been working on for months...has all the works, no piant yet.

In other words, if it's the armed base Orchis (which transports a Gundam), can it be considered on topic? (LOL)

Never mind, it has to have at least one wheel, doesn't it?

Ya i ment Bandai sry, Hmm ya ive heard of using all those items to fully work it out, but it didnt say anything int he instuctions booklets, i did my best i think it turned out pretty good, its my first gundam kit ever, using the putty for the seams would be awesome i think but ya ill give it more work next time.

wow your first gundam model and you chose a perfect grade?! Those are like 200 dollars

ive got the MG Zeta C+ down stairs

technically Mike the gundam IS a mode of transportation considering they have rockets and such...
