I'm writing this post as a tribute to a mecha series I loved very much, Mobile Suit Gundam, for which I own a small collection of HG gunpla models I had some fun in building and customizing a bit with the help of some basic techniques, including panel lining, repainting and use of decals to enrich a bit the fine details.
I particularly got interested in the UC - Universal Century series thanks to the seriousness of the plot which is based on top of some complex political concepts which allow the watcher to reflect on the severity and importance of human war conflicts, in a way that it's even hard to eventually establish which faction is on the right or the bad side.
I also appreciated very much Mobile Suite Gundam for the great realism with which mecha robots are depicted and imagined, without falling into the usual and typical addition of special powers of other anime of this genre, where even the concept of "mecha as a justice hero" is too much noticeable and quite unrealistic.
I thus hope with this brief post to leave a trace of my enjoyment for Mobile Suit Gundam series, especially in regard to the original one 0079 with protagonist the RX-78-2 mecha piloted by the legendary Amuro Ray, as well as Gundam Z piloted by Kamille Bidan, 0083 Stardust Memory with the great and young pilot Kou Uraki, as well as RX-0 Unicorn piloted by Banagher Links. Not to mention aside from EFSF, the other phenomenal pilots and characters from the other faction Zeon, including for sure the legendary Red Comet Char Aznable, Anavel Gato and Full Frontal.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 0079: RX-78-2
Here below I start with the legendary RX-78-2 in version HG 1/144 gunpla, with the version on the left being the 30th anniversary edition, customized with some repainting, decals and panel lining.
In the centre instead, a second version with the application of a hand made cel-shading anime effect through additional panel lining along all single edges plus some further white painted areas to simulate reflections, in order to obtain an anime-like effect.
Finally, In the right image a different pose of the same model of the left image, this time put inside a special gundam action base produced by Bandai which looks like a maintenance cage which sometimes can be also observed in the anime itself:
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 0083: STARDUST MEMORY: GP-01 AND GP-03
Here instead is my tribute to what is probably my most favorite series ever, Stardust Memory, with its Top-Gun like feeling and its amazing mecha GP-01 in version from the left, RX78-GP01 Zephyranthes, RX78-GP01-FB Full Burnern (Full Vernian) in the middle, and the RX78-GP03 Stamen on the right image, all piloted by Kou Uraki. Again all in HG 1/144 version customized with panel lining, decals, hand repainting and some chromed parts:
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 0087: Z & Char's CounterAttack
Here instead are the Gundam Z Lightning version and the Gundam A-Z version, 2 special HG 1/144 versions of the original Gundam MSZ-006 of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Z, along with a special version of the RX-93 Nu-Gundam piloted by Amuro Ray from Char's Counterattack movie, called Gundam HI-NU RX-93-v2 Vrabe (part of the HGBF series), all of them again customized where possible with some handmade repainting, panel lining, decals and some chromed parts.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM RE:0096 UNICORN RX-0
And lastly, here is the so popular Unicorn Gundam RX-0 for which an awesome full-size statue has been also placed in Odaiba island in Tokyo. In this case it's a HG1/144 green coloured full-armor version, including tons of weapons and a huge backpack with 2 long propulsors. In this case a special customized action base from Bandai was also added in order to better display the model. Again, some custom decals, panel lining, manual repainting and chromed parts were added.
Hope you have enjoyed my post and if you have any question about my gunpla models feel free to leave me a message on Facebook (you can find my Facebook profile link here in Myanimelist page).
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!
