ok folks i got a wacky idea that bounced into my head and ive been giving it some serious thought. I want to take the RG Zaku and bash it with the HG Gouf custom, http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun I don’t know if i would call it a bash per se. im just looking to make a highly detailed RG quality Gouf so i will be trying to mod the HG armor…[Read more]
Its a interesting project. You could call it a sneak peak into the RG that is yet to come. Legs should be a fairy simple job. From the looks you could leave the RG feet. Hands should be a little more tricky. The way the Gouf are made it hard for me to figure out how to make sliding armor effect.
I wish you luck with the project. Just remember…[Read more]
You may end up having to sacrifice sone of the sliding panels but it should be doable for the most part, especially if you’re planning to keep the same arms used on the HG.
good luck with the project. keep in mind that the torso of the zaku & the gouf custom is different. might have a hard time connecting the leg of the other to the hips & torso of the other since the RG has its own inner frame. keep us posted with your project. 🙂
There was a RG wing on display at comic con and it seemed tiny. Not just a little bit smaller but very tiny in comparison to the other RGs. Not going to stop me from getting it though since it looks amazing.
probably the worst panel line job I’ve done, and I should have used a darker color. need to fix the little gap on the chest. but still, RG Z’Gok is a pretty awesome kit.
nice! I love RG kits, and it’s pretty cool that they decided to throw something so different in the line. really fun build and like most RG’s it looks great right out of the box. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it
Hi guys. I am currently building the 1/144 RG Strike Freedom and I have come across a big problem. I am cutting the black and blue parts and the nippers are leaving stress…
make sure that your nipper is sharp. its hard to avoid stress marks if you are only using nippers to cut parts from runners and clean the excess sprue. use a hobby knife to cut away excess sprue to get best result. just watch out not to overcut it.
how was your build? i was also working on this kit last week. messed up the decals beam shields. just a heads up (if you haven’t done it yet) you are supposed to put the decals on the backside of the beam shield. 😀
what they said^ and you can also use a black Gundam Marker (used for panel lining) and just put some of that on the white stress mark, give it a few seconds to sink in, then while it off by rubbing with your thumb. Should get rid of the white ^^
RG Gundam Wing! Yeeeesssss!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for…pity it’s the feathered one and not the one from the anime..hope we get that too..can’t wait for the rest to be revealed!
Hi guys! I am new here and am so excited to be a part of such a wonderful community! First off, I just bought the 1/144 RG Strike Freedom Gundam and it is fantastic! Now I…
I just finished building my RG Strike Freedom yesterday and I reckon that you could paint the frame gold BUT you should limit it to only the parts you can see. There are so many tiny tight joints that would snap with too much resistance so try keep it to just external parts. It may help I’d you sanded down that parts that you paint so that you…[Read more]
Are u airbrushing. There’s a paint for airbrush called aclad. You do a coat of black gloss then gold chrome look it up. I bought the paint but haven’t try yet. They r a bit expensive though
Welcome to the hobby. You did a great job on the MK. II. If you should need any help or advice, leave us a post at the Q/A & Help section. Any ideas on what your next build will be?
thanks! currently building a HG Banshee Norn Destroy Mode theatrical version. having a hard time hiding some nub marks on the clear parts. ill be posting some of the other RGs ive built on this thread later. 🙂
lol thats just hard core! a trivia about this kit: if you will look closely at the backpack, you wont see the tubing. I accidentally threw the excess away after I did the ones for the legs thinking I wont be needing it anymore.
just can’t imagine how they’re going to do the gimmick for the wings like the MG applied to this RG or if there’s gonna be any gimmicks for it at all… this news was a big surprise for me.
I’m sad to see bandai break from the normal pattern with the real grade line. Before it was two uc the seed, then the exia from 00, then the zgok, I was hoping for another uc then another 00 kit, don’t get me wrong I want the wing but it’s just odd of bandai
It’s been a very experimental year for RG, new frame for AD era, crazy Z’Gok limbs and now Wing Zero Custom EW with, well, wings.
I’m kinda annoyed as giant Angel wings do detract a bit from the “real robot” theme of RGs but I’m happy we’re getting this none the less.
Considering the wing zero was the first 1/100 scale kit i ever did, it was a HG but whatever, I will be getting the kit without question. depending on what p-bandai kits come of it i might get two and build a wing zero fenice custom as well. Really looking forward to this kit
Looks like i will finally be getting a pg saw the announcment on fb and gundamguy.com and said 200 and under 300 depending on money rates hell ya. But 33 led’s thats going to be a lot if money in batteries. And in regards to the rg’s now im only getting sandrock, hell, and maybe shenlong depending on what he looks like
I don’t have any Wing kits, so I will probably get them all. 🙂 Btw, the LED kit seems to be sold separately for another $100 or so (in addition to the $200 gundam).

Could be an interesting project. Would like to see work in progress.
I thought about that too! Love the Gouf Custom!
I’m currently working on a project combining an RG Zaku with an HGUC XekuEins. It’s tough!!
good luck with the project. keep in mind that the torso of the zaku & the gouf custom is different. might have a hard time connecting the leg of the other to the hips & torso of the other since the RG has its own inner frame. keep us posted with your project. 🙂
