Gundam Models

[Sandman53]

I have a decent collection of Zoid (original from 1980's and 90's), Gundam (various scales of difficulty), Robotech ( germen version and japanese version), and many PVC models.

So far my favorite are the Zoids and the Euro Robotech models.

Out of all of them, my favorite 2 are the Brontosaurus Zoid ( 18" tall and almost 2 feet long, from 1990) and the Commando mech from Euro Robotech (think a A1 tank on 4 huge legs).

I also do Warhammer 40k miniatures and scenery. Models are a pastime, when everything else bores me.

Oh yeah, I also have a nice 3 foot PVC model of Unicron.

Would you know where to get some good Zoid models online? I have looked around but seldom do I find some descent ones. I am mainlt interested in the new century ones. Like Liger Zero, Elephander, and those ones.

You can possibly go to your local gaming and comic store and ask them.

I can order them through The Fantasy Shop in Kirkwood MO. The store is all over St. Louis. They like to display a lot of models and PVC kits in each of their stores.

I got all of my models from Toys R' Us.

I wanted to find a Liger Zero too, but the only Zoid Models i built are:

Redler
Lighting Saix
Gojulas Giga (T-Rex)
Energy Liger (My best one)
Command Wolf

Seriously, I never by my models from big league vendors. Poke around your city, search, try to find a In-the-hole shop, befriend the manager, sometimes (On my account, most of the time) they sell the best stuff.

=D

The brontosaurus type Zoid I had. Here is the 1980's model. The first one I got. Pic from a site though.



And the Ultrasaurus the newest version of my Zoid. Mine was a bit larger and it was Grey, white, and gold.



This one is 14.75" tall

[ViktorVaughn]

I could probably use site pictures too...

And the T-Rex model i mentioned is kinda the same size as that ultrasarus, but somewhat smaller...and it eats batteries.

hey how much do those kits cost i had a gundam one too but taht was from vietnam

I decided to do some serious searching for the models I built when I was a child. I found out that the Robotech models I built were from one of the first Robotech cartoon series, Fang of the Sun.

The models I built in Germany were from Revell. Here are some pics of their packaging.













These models you actually had to glue the pieces together and do the paint job. They were quite fun to build, and after they were dry and decaled, they were playable with moving joints and so on.

You guys are assholes. Bringing up very old memories of childhood. Now I want to buy them.... but they are at "collectors" prices. OH well, look slike I am spending more moneys on toys.......

Here is the site I got the pics from.

http://www.gundamstoreandmore.com/gundam.html

is this a good website or are they cheap ripoffs? would you recommend any for a beginner? im not a ******, i just couldnt imagine making something with over 100 0 peices. and im not good at painting either(a non paint one)?.

[ddldave]

The first two models are pretty cool,yes,I made some models,it was quite fun to make,I think I have 2 or 3 of them.

my uncle once bought me a gundam wing model, i tried taking a piece out from the plastic so i can put it on my gundam but it snapped =( so i had to remove that piece

[ViktorVaughn]

Goujlas Giga (the pic is small, he's alot bigger in actual size.)


Energy Liger (The best one, but mine has a different color)

[cyber7chink]

Some models are quite durable and some will fail the little brother playtest.
