HGUC and anything zeon related from 0079 to 0083.

Anyway, my favorite is zaku ii.

That's my favorite, too! With Rick Dom after it. Somehow I just don't like the Federal machines like Gundam itself. Too colorful and toy like. Zeon machines like Zaku are more "real" to me.

Ditto. That's why the only Gundam I got was an 'EZ-8'. I'd like to get a MG RGM-79 Sniper from '08th MS Team'.

I built this 1/60 Perfect Grade Zaku II last year. Haven't painted it yet.

Hm, darn.... 1/144 ones? Get the older 1/144 EZ-8 :p

If you find a 1/100 of the Easy-8, you should put them into a small diorama or something :P (sure, it'll be like an in-joke, but if done right, it could look cool I bet... )

HGUC or 1/144 kits are available, cheap and easy to build.

Hows about HG 1/100s too? Or would that be more of a seperate build? (IE: MG 1/100 and all other 1/100s )

I have a few 1/144s in queue, but my next two kits are 1/100 (God Gundam and Deathscythe Hell Custom )

For me it's OK. Let's just make a gundam related group build regardless of scale or subject.

Bye,

Yup. I'm with Max here.

That RX-79's not mine :p

Wow! There are a lot more builders than I thought, but that's good news! Big Smile [:D]

I grew up watching "Mobile Suit Gundam" in Japan and now that I'm older (not quite yet grown up Big Smile [:D]

) I started building the models again. I usually build aircraft, but buildning Gundam kits provided a nice break and a nice change of subject. I like the kits because they're easy to assemble and quick to build.
Thanks for the input.

What's everyone's favorite kit? I like the MGs and Zaku IIs.

OK, even I know this, even though I got the name wrong. The EZ-8 is a sort of hybrid made up of spare parts of RX-79s. So in that sense, they were in service the same time as the 79s.

The 08th MS Team was one the the best of the Gundam stories (IMHO) followed by Stardust Memories.

I think the RX-79 and EZ-8 were in service at the same time... But I still need to see 08th MS Team... (I have some VCDs, but the subtitles are in Chinese -__- )

Nice job you did, though! All I have of that kit is it's head lol (A friend gave me a bunch of loose parts and it was in there, so I saved it )
