Hi! Living in Japan…I have access to any hard-to-find Gundam. I have just started building master grades. Right now, I’m working on the Gundam Seed GAT-X103 (Buster Gundam) and the ZGMF-X10A (Freedom Gundam). My first was the RX-178 Gumdam Mk-II. I’m looking for some techniques to make my Gundams look as realistic as possible.
If you are interested in finding the Gundams you can’t find at home…e-mail me and we can discuss it.
Check out this site -
Not much Mecha, but there are 326 Anime photos in the Gallery section, not to mention Horror, Sci-Fi, Girls [;)] etc. Definately worth a look.
I’m into Macross and Gundam Models
I know I have a bit of catching up to do but I just bought the first Robotech series DVD and gave it a look. I have been collecting model kits from the series for a few years and I wanted to finally see the show. The Valkyries are pretty cool but I can’t wait to see some of the specialized Destroid 'mechs in action; Spartan, Tomahawk, Defender, MONSTER! Anyone know where in the series these guys appear?
memeau,
All of the non-transformable mecha you mention are in “Macross” in various episodes, as well as the movie. In kit form, all are discontinued ( to my knowledge ) and were released by Arii, along with the Zentraedi mecha models about 20 years ago.
I’m pretty new to the anime/mecha seen but they just seem to draw me in, kinda like and addiction. I’ve seen so many different subjects thatI’m mystified as to were to go and what to do. I’ve gotten some gundam kits, Wing zero custom, hellscythe custom, epyon, a Domtroppen, the aquatic one from gundam 0080 but there are more that i’d like. Like an idiot I didn’t look for them when I was stationed in Japan for a year so now I’m in search of some stuff that I will never find more than likely. My daughter loves Ah my Goddess and sailor moon. My son is into DragonBallGT and Z we all like Big O, Inuyasha and Trigun and some of the other stuff that we’ve only seen in passing looks great. My son Daughter and I would really like to get a pen-pal contact in Japan for some trading or just general correspondence back and forth.
Thanks,

Macross and the Five Star Stories are my top subjects. I flip flop between them in obsessiveness. Right now I am still in my Macross phase.
My daughter is also into Sailor Moon (still trying to find a 5 inch Sailor Jupiter doll for her) and my son was really excited and Cartoon Network started airing new Inuyasha episodes (We tape them). I’m an old Macross - Yamato/Starblazers fan.

Don’t you see how old this thread is? -__-
Anyway, nice collection, I guess…
Letsee, my interests include, Gundam, Macross, Five Star Stories, Votoms, Dougram, Dorvack, Crusher Joe, Gasaraki, Patlabor, and Dragonar.
Mind you, I have little idea of what the shows are about, I just like building the models.
Regardless or how old the thread is, there’s still interest!
Let’s see, I’m pretty modest in my small (tiny) collection, only a Macross VF-1A Super Valkyrie (Hasegawa), HG Wing Zero Custom, and a 1/144 Blitz Gundam. The blitz will be the first one I build, then the Wing, then the Valkyrie. I want to do the VF justice, but I can’t at my current skill level. That’s why I purchased a few 1/72 Hasegawa A/C to build before starting on it! ^ ^
Well, if you are interested in any Maschinen Krieger email me at stipps@ntelos.net. Im into any and all of these and the older Blechman stuff too!
Well I am a huge Gundam SEED/DESTINY fan… So I mainly only do kits from this series in all grades… Although I have done one Zaku in 1/100 scale that I customed a little…Here are a few of my 1/100 Gundams… My latest edition is my new Red Frame… I have changed his stance since these pics were taken, and now have him in a Samurai stance!..
Second one 1/100…
Force Impulse 1/100…
Aile Strike 1/100…
Custom Zaku 1/100… I have always hated the chunky hoses on the old Zakus…
I was actually a late starter into Gundams, but as I live in Japan, the addiction becomes way too great when I can get most kits on discount… Not a shop here that doesnt have Gundam… Its a masive thing here… You know it must be as when I stand looking at the shelves for Gundam, and you are joined by about 10 other Japanese married aged men looking at what you are looking at… Although being a foreigner, they think its cool that I am interested! I have many more pics of my collection…

I am into the Macross series…
I currently have a YF 19, a YF 22, and a VE 1. drooling over the new VF 0 series… gotta slip’em past the wife!
Five Star Stories, Dunbine, Patlabor, and Gundam mostly here (Huge Dunbine fan 
)
Too many kits to list… Some day I’ll try
ive got my astray red in a pose holding the katana out but has the beam cannon ready in the other hand,kind of a “bring it on” pose,while astray blue is holding his large sword behind him in a “dont mess” pose,ill get a couple of photo’s of my collection up when my digicam is recharged,oh and lexusjapan is that custom zaku a mg version as i seen it and thought it looked cool
Griever, yes it is the MG version of the Zaku… Its an older kit, but cool all the same… I just changed the color of the hoses, and actually changed the hoses themselves… I hate yellow and green together, and I also dont like the funky beads that you have to put on the hoses… So I made mine a little custom to the original… I also changed most of the yellow to white… And colored the hoses black… I did this, just to give it an updated look…
I just wished they did a few of the Gins in 1/100… I have the HG 1/144 Mobile CGUE, and he is an awsom design… I also have the HG 1/144 Yellow Mobile Ginn, and 1/144 Mobile suit GuAIZ… And lastly the 1/144 Mobile Dinn… As for my other Gundams… I have…
1/100 Red Frame
1/100 Force Impulse
1/100 Aile Strike Gundam
1/100 Blitz Gundam
HG 1/144 Dreadnaought
HG 1/144 Aile Strike Gundam
HG 1/144 Freedom Gundam
HG 1/144 Rogue Strike +IWSP
1/144 M1 Astray
1/144 Force Impulse
1/144 Green Zaku Warrior (Destiny)
1/144 Gunner Zaku Warrior (Destiny)

*ive change it to links to the photos because they dont seem to be showing correctly
I am only new to gundam also… And I agree that they dont need to customing… But that Zaku just looked strange when I finished building it, so thats why I decided to change it a little…
