MAZING! This is truly spectacular! I really enjoy the fact that it can transform, and it looks mighty fine in "Gundam Battle mode" as well! If you're going to paint it, try and look up some research on painting Gundam kits. As well, there's a video doumentary on painting gundams and detailing them on youtube  |

Haha, i'm too afraid to paint it at the moment. But who knows if I will paint it in the future. And yes, it can transform into flight mode, but it'm made of plastic, and as such I don't think it would survive many transformations  . |

Excellent job! Great papermodeler and Plasticmodeler! You know, it's possible to go farther in detailing, if you wanna. To do that, if you have an x-acto knife, I noticed that especially around your ankle guards, that there are still a few runners still around them. To get rid of those, you can "shave" it off using the side of the x-acto. And...you know those little indentions on your model? Check the back of your legs (the model's legs of course) you can see those little lines and squares(?)Around them, or in their lines, you can go over them using a pen to put a little emphasis on the detail ^_^
And..By the way! There are paper gundams out there ^.^ I know you know, just saying xD

Whoa! It turned out pretty nice! Congratulations! I'd suggest not to paint the model (at least not now). I know this one is your favorite subject, and it lookes okay as it is right now. If this is your first plastic build, you might want to gain some experience with painting/detailing on other -safer- models first. Otherwise you might be feeling sorry for that quirky 'first-timer' paintjob. I know how that feels, I'm still searching for models I've build once, wich I would like to build once again; only better! Is this gonna mean your moving toward plastic models now?  |

And..By the way! There are paper gundams out there ^.^ I know you know, just saying xD Yes, i know, I have secret plan to ask someone who unfolds Gundams for permission to host files, and expand my HP to Gundams Thank you guys, i'm really fond of how this model turned out. As for those canals through which plastic was injected, i tried removing them with scalpel, rith by the surface, and ther polishing with sandpaper, but sometimes when detaching part from the frame this canal-thing bended and strained plastic, so it become white and this white color goes bit deeper into the part, so i couldn't remove those. Those white points are not very visible, though EDIT: soaring, you seem to be knowledgable about Gunpla, so maybe you'll help me with one problem. I plan on making a purchase next week. I planned to buy Exia and Dynames. But I saw something else that seems cool, namely Gundam Action Base. I'm not sure now which should I buy: Dynames (in case those are stop being sold during summer), or action base (two of them) (because my Kyrios and Exia would look way better)  I have limited amount of money to spend, so it's either Dynames or two action bases GreatDane: It's not like i'm saying goodbye to paper. I still have my HP, and will still be making paper models from time to time (altough the further i am on my studies the less time i have for modellig ;(), but i just wanted to try plastic, and I gotta admit i like it too. There's nothing bad with doing paper and plastic at the same time, there are no limits here  |

Thanks Yessmasster I used to build a few Gunpla models before, until they stopped selling them in Gilroy. So, my advie is to buy whichever one that seems to be running out first. Dynames seems like a great Gundam nonetheless, the action bases can wait until you prioritize which gundam model is your favorite, and then you can buy an action base for it ^.^ |

I will buy Exia + Dynames then, and maybe i'll buy one base and pretend it cost nothing ;P. I already have my fav Gundam (look at those pics ), but I'm planning on having all 4 of main 00 Gundams for starters (will probably get Thrones after them). Will post pictures after i build any more Gundams |

No problem! That's right! Pretend it costs nothing... xD Yeah right! You're going to be using about 7 dollars, at the most, which is O.K. (Obsulete Killer desicion) You can sell a paper model to catch up to your benefits ^.^ If possible, since you seem to like "Warrior" Looking Gundams, you should try a few G Gundams for size. Otherwise, you should sometime, just for fun, try a Hazel Gundam o.o Can't wait for those pictures man! Your work is amazing! I'll see if I can wip up my old Alex Gundam, I may be able to find at L:EAST a plastic runner  If not, I'll post some old fashion Paper Gundams |

Those look cool, were are you getting them from?? Lee ;D Since it's not quite popular in Poland, there are not many places to but such stuff here. I recently found out about one Polish guy who lives in USA who sends those to Poland earning money in the process. But if you live outside of Poland you should have no problem getting such things, there are lots of internet shops and few not internet ones that sell those. I can list few: gundammad.com; www.1999.co.jp. BTW, since box arts are really cool, i think i can show you boxart of Kyrios:  |

Just a note loosely connected to the thread: I just started a place to show my Gundam models. If i ever find anyone who unfolds Gundams i will also host Gundam papercraft up there, but as for now it'll be just a gallery, plus few articles from how i assembly my Gundams. It's addy is: yessmasster.ovh.orgAs i wrote there addy may change if site proves popular and expands |
