I want the PG Zeta Gundam model....Dont think I could finish it, though! :smt043

I just realized we don't have a surprised emoticon anymore.

Any way, that is awesome. Do you know if they have one of the MS-06S Zaku II?

**dj898** · 12-31-2004

yep! will cost you around $100 for new kit though...

and there was even higher detailed grade called HYG2D(?) or something.
when finished the thing is about half a meter tall and practically every thing moves - at a price of around 100000+ yen from memory...

**Mr. Casual** · 12-31-2004

I think so. I have an *old* catalogue for such things.
Animetrix.com would be a good bet if they arent gone.

"EDIT"

DJ898 Beat me to it! :smt022

I used to assemble a gundam model kit once a week but they were nothing of that magnitude. I hope you assemble it. :prayer:

The Red Comet

This is the one I want :-D

even though these PG kits are snap-on assembly you really do need to assemble in traditional ways - putting putty and sand off to cover some of injection lines and bit of reshaping... once it's done yu can do either MAX style air brushing which is my favourite or number of other new techniques...

there is HY2GM(?) grade that has more than double the number of parts per kit compared to PG grade... and then there's a grade that when finished standa at almost 2 meters tall... you have to see the read Zaku almost as high as you - and its gun you can actually hold it... :-D

bit OT but Metal Grade kit is also must if you are a fan of chogokin...

we are talkling about 1,000,000+ yen territories here...

cheers

iam still dont know which to buy the latest pg should be the Gundam Seed Strike Gundam 1/60 which is arround 150-200$

but maybe there are newer models already out

is there a site which reports on the latest released modelkits ?

and which models are the most detailed someone mentioned that a master grade was more detailed then the perfect grade (which is likely when i see this huge thing posted HY2M MS-06S Zaku II
which dont even looks half detailed as the pgs)
