actually a suit like the Big-O would be perfect for a RG, just hope Bandai catches on. The even bigger ones like Psycho Gundam, would be great too since they’re too big to do in the larger scales.
Well it took them so long to finally make the MG so yeah it doesn’t seem to be on the top of Bandai’s list, but I wouldn’t rule it out either, they are pulling out some rather old mobile suits to make kits for recently, like the new line of Gundam Wing kits..
you’re right good catch. I’ve since looked to try to find out the size of the Big-O with no luck though someone said that it’s cockpit can hold 5 people, if this is true then that’s a very big mecha, which is what I was getting at with the kits I think would be perfect for an RG.
on the other hand the Big-O isn’t all that flexible so real grade…[Read more]
The RG line is nothing short of excitement. Im slowly getting all the kits. with eh Zeta being the first big hurdle of the RG line, what do you think will be the next challenge for the line?
Urgghh hated the zeta so unstable I was about to bash it on the wall…. Loved the freedom, justice, mk II and the two zaku’s though…next on my build list are the strike and destiny RGs
The RG zeta was a interesting take on the suit with ninety percent of the problems with it have to do with the poor engineering of the transformation (which was pretty much done in the 80’s). I guess I’ll be keen to see another transformation done. Im also down to see something that may appear as a brick given some mobility.
The next challenge would obviously be something that requires serious modification of the frame, so that would be morphing MS – specifically Unicorn and Banshee if they will ever make these (but I guess they may). I’m also curious if they will reuse the Zeta frame for Delta or Hyaku Shiki
How do you all find the full painting / construction time on an RG? To me, to do a full job an RG takes just as long as a good MG or nearly a PG. To me that makes them very good value for money.
I’ve tried painting them and not painting them. The small size and bits of off colored pieces makes them look so good even unpainted, and those same things make them a pain to paint especially if you’re mixing paints, either way though I love it, I actually have the entire line so far, till the release of the GP-01 and GP-01FB kits.
I think RG kits respond very well to painting. You may just want to paint the whole runner and touch-up any marks on the nubs when you but them off for ease with all the tiny pieces.
If there’s any real “hero” pieces that need the love and care, I’ll remove them from the runner first. But with the design of the RG kits, you can “get away” with a bit of cheating on the painting.
man i can list alot of rg line of suits well sense we have so far a gp line started i would like to see the others make it into the rg of that mech version.aslo the rg lin sense its a small scale versions of mg it also can be bandais testing on mg for future suits like make v2 of the gpo# line sesne how detailed the rgs are.and yes i want more…[Read more]
I’d love a ZZ but its transformation is almost more of a headache than the Zeta.
I would not care if they resorted to part swapping for the legs, the rest isn’t too hard.
