  • dam, little feedback for @syd and @ryan for next time, the photo requirements are a little outdated, i get that you don’t want 100 8k resolution images from everyone but 1200 (x 675 to keep ratio with 1080p) is rather small these days and capping it to 450kb per image makes it worse, i had to lower the quality a bunch to get them under and you…[Read more]

      That and some sorta confirmation for sending it in.

    • Even 3MB to upload it here is often to small And it is of not matter in the forum. But on the competition it is very much about the true shadings and details, that makes a difference.
      Picsize is def a problem for me too.

  • One last update as im about to submit my final entry various stages of weathering and such

    good luck all

    Bandai has made April a lean month so we only have the High Grade Vual Gundam to show, but does that mean that next month’s Shizuoka Hobby Show is going to feature a lot of big reveals? Possibly. Be sure to watch […]

    • shika replied 7 years ago

      Yeah, new episode!

    • Been busy with building my gundam for Playing With Plamo competition, glad to finally have the time to catch a new episode.

      Kinda sad I missed the zeta givaway.

      Looking forward to the Shizuoka Hobby Show coverage.

    • Gundam Vual is my favorite design from the IBO line-up!

    • YES! Waterslides!

      So, here’s a question for you two – at some point Bandai have to stop releasing PG Unicorn variants and actually release an all-new PG. If you had to put a bet on it, what would you LIKE to see as a PG release, and what do you think would in reality be more likely as the next new PG release? I would like to see a Sinanju Stein, but I reckon it would be something more mainstream like a GM or a Barbatos.

      Also I am calling it now that Todd says “Ball” ^_^

    • Kamille Bidan is the pilot of the Zeta Gundam, since he was a boy but Kamille is supposedly a girls name he ends up shouting “Kamille is a man’s name!” a couple times during the series.

      Anyways cool Vual, and looking forward to the Evolution Zeta. Great show as always guys.

    • Am I the only one that feels like they should have released a few more kits in April instead of trying to overload March? Anyway I finally got a Freedom 2.0 and I have to say it looks amazing in person just on the runners. I can’t wait till finals are over.

    • I built the previous HG Zeta a while ago but ran into trouble assembling the legs as the lower leg assembly had both sides almost identical which lead me to glue two sides from the left and right legs together, only realising my mistake when I began assembling the second leg. With this in mind, I’d be interested in seeing how the leg construction of the new kit differs with the 2003 version.

    • Ewww a partsformer, how loathsome, well it still looks cool though, if only it transform.

    • Might not an active month but new episodes are always nice.

      I already bought, built, and taken review pictures of the Gunpla Evolution Project Zeta, and it’s a nice kit. It’s definitely the most sturdy, articulate Zeta we have, but the excessive stickers kinda put a hamper on…well…everything, still happy we have it though. I was kinda disappointed on how little “new stuff” was done after all the “Evolution” advertising, the torso was the only new innovation I really saw with the arm joints, and I still feel it could be perfected more, especially since it’s a little finicky and could break under pressure, with the tight tolerances not helping. Still though, it’s a new Zeta, and I think it’s the best Zeta we got so far, so i’m glad to have it.

      The decals are awesome, these will go well with any IBO kit I might pursue in the future, especially the Ryusei-Go ones, I aim to get all 3 and maybe 4 units, so I gotta get there.

      Vual is an awesome design, i’ll still have to pick it up despite the problems i’m hearing because I just can’t resist not getting such a good looking MS. Stickers are annoying but hey, it’s an HGIBO kit, expected them. I just love this design too much, with the repair aesthetic, colorscheme, and design.

    • Finally the waterslides are back!

    • I was already super excited for the new Zeta, but even more so after seeing the runners. That kit can’t arrive fast enough!

    • no one beats the granddaddeh

    • i wanna see the the full city in 1/100

    • For Playing with Plamod, if i used Gundam Marker to replace some sticker, what category should i apply? Thanks!

    • BNuts replied 7 years ago

      Help a guy out! I have another custom HG planned, but I need that Skull Weapon to complete it, and no one has it for under $20.

    • Decals! Thank you Bandai. Vual looks good. Like the darker colors. Thanks Todd and Syd!

    • Gmmm replied 7 years ago

      I think the Zaku 2.0 is perfect as is. The only way they can do a Zaku 3.0 is to include higher detail like more panel lines and more color separation. I would love for them to improve many of the older mobile suits like the older GMs with a better frame and articulation.

    • Reading the dates the kit was released makes me feel old. Its like, wow I remember when that was new.

    • From the tsunami of kits to a dry-spell. I don’t know which one to get sad about(My wallet crying due to it being sucked bone-dry or the crying due to over-spillage)P.S. To the competitors vying for the top prize in the Playing With Plamo Competition, Good luck and may Akihiro’s nippers be with you!(Can’t enter due to study reasons) P.S. Tod actually got my name right its pronounced with the j as in jungle.

    • Hubyx replied 7 years ago

      My Seven Swords is almost ready 😛

    • I love thew new Gundam Decals! I wish they would make more for RGs especially ones like the Sinanju since it has a glossy finish that makes the stickers show up more.

    • That Vual could probably looks so much better with minimal effort, matt spray it, then some easy dry brushing and decals.

    • Damn, always wanted a zeta 2.0! Then you whip it out and i was like (woah)

    • Someone from my elementary school, who I haven’t seen in years but saw on the bus, told me he has a MG Zeta in his closet, but never built it. So, who knows? If I win this one, and buy off his, I’ll have two MG Zetas.

    • Wish I got me that zeta. The new revive that isn’t called revive now looks really cool though.

    • The box art of the new HG Zeta is so cool!!!

    • That Vual looks great. I’m glad I’ve been a big fan and kept more up to date with the Gundam franchise.

    • Azrel replied 7 years ago

      Can’t wait to get the Vual!

    • Waterslides are the most fun part of building a modelkit to me. Glad the “dry season” is over.

      Ill see myself out.

    • So uhh..this might have been asked before, but BANDAI did tease a ZZ Gundam Ver. Ka. coming sometime this year. Any news on that? 🙂 Great show as always guys!

    • oh my zeta!!!!

    • needs a matte top coat and it would look amazing! Out of the box, black looks a little too plasticy

    • Great show guys can’t wait to see what comes out next

    • Really enjoying the show. I look forward to every episode each week. I can’t wait for your Shizuoka coverage. Keep up the great work gentleman.

    • Great show as always. I love the vual, cant wait for new anouncnents.

    • Can’t wait for Shizuoka!

    • ZETA GUNDAM awesome… Nice show guys so sad because Syd is leaving the show… I’ve been watching this show since episode 1…

    • Wait… Proportional Accuracy and the Greatest Range of Motion in HG History!

      Unbelievable!!!

      Yup, we be in the quiet before the storm boys. Shall we all chant: Shizuoka, Shizuoka, SHIZUOKA!!!

    • So great that we’re finally getting decal sets again!

    • great show. 🙂

    • My life sucks and I need to win something so gimme that Zeta…

    • HORI SHEET it’s ZETA 2.0!

    • Due to low MG releases… im looking forward to robot damashii figures….

    • I have the HG Gold Frame, im not sure if I will get the RG line of it. But great reaview for the kit. Keep it up and more power.

      PS.
      Hope someday Bandai make 1/144 RG Unicorn Gundam.

    • i wonder if we would get a MG zeta 3.0

    • I want that zetaaaaaa, also getting tempted by those fuminas, haven’t build one yet

    • grant my wishes MG Zeta gundam

    • Kutal replied 7 years ago

      Great show guys, hope put the hands on this Zeta

    • I could take that zeta and i would enjoy it!

    • Nice show peeps, Would love the Zeta. I am a fan of the transform capabilities.

    • Kind of a shame there’s only 2 kits this month, but I bet the Evolution Zeta will more than make up for that! I’m really looking forward to that.

    • I’m pretty excited about the RG announcement. Not a huge fan of the gold frame, I think the blue and the red don’t really look that good on it

    • Please give me that mg zeta.!!!!!!!!!

    • shika replied 7 years ago

      RD figures giveaway, please…

    • Now we’ve got to continue this trend of chronological gundam giveaway with ZZ gundam next lol, but in all seriousness Zeta will always be that timeless transforming gundam with great design only matched by macross that makes all others feel like a cheap imitation.

    • I love the two tones of black on the Amatsu Mina, I can’t wait to get one. And it just so happens that I’m missing the Zeta Gundam from my collection, here’s hoping I win!

    • that Zeta would be a nice addition to a hobbyist collection

    • I want a zeta, please please please…. Can I have a Zeta😇😇😇😇

    • sya replied 7 years ago

      I will gladly accept that zeta, Thanks Syd!

    • HG ASW-G-47 Gundam Vual looks like they’re finally slowing down which means new announcements at the hobby shows~
      HG Super Fumina Axis Angel ver. is extra busty. =D

      15:37 RG MBF-P01-Re2AMATU Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina
      Pretty cool. The regular Gold Frame is a P-Bandai.
      I “wonder” what the next RG will be.

    • I name this episode the cute, the shiny, and the bland.

    • Woo, new episode for new kits!

      Vual looks awesome, i’ve heard mixed things on the kit, still the design alone sells me on it, so I gotta pick this HG up. Super Fumina still annoys me and I don’t like it, this one is half interesting though.

      The RG Amatsu Mina is a must buy for me, everything speaks to me. I loved the RG Astray before, and I bet this will be no different due to being so similar yet so different. The accessories look great, the gloss black looks fantastic, color separation is superb, details are A+, and even the lame gold doesn’t look half bad with the multi shades and color choice. This is one of the best Gunpla kits to date and I want it more than a lot.

      I already have FM Bael with the beautiful first edition stand, and it’s pretty nice. It’s simple though and has a few balancing issues and a few loose joints for me, not a ton of accessories either but that’s not the fault of the kit, still i’m satisfied with the way it looks.

    • I think I want the Amatsu MIna. and THAT ZETA 2.0!

    • BNuts replied 7 years ago

      I can’t wait for HLJ’s next seasonal sale, because there are so many cool gunpla I want to buy!

      Todd, the Fumina Angel ver is modelled after the Qubeley. It even has multiple mounting points under the wings that could be used for funnels.

      What d’you guys think of the first episode of ‘Frame Arms Girls?’ It makes me wish someone would send ME some sample models. Keep wishing, right? Anyway, I’m getting strong ‘Build Fighters’ vibes from it.

    • I’m surprised that you guys did not mention that the Gundam Tristan is using parts from the HGUC 047 Gundam Alex. A lot of people are upset about the use of old, recycled, parts limiting articulation. Also, the P-Bandai Zaku III Custom from Twilight Axis is simply a re-color of the Zaku III Custom (with some Zaku III parts) that came out 20 years ago and this too has angered some Gunpla fans. Is Bandai simply getting lazy? What are your thoughts about this?

    • Believe in the Sign of the Zeta!

    • Zeta here thanks!

    • Oh, neat. I’ve been thinking about getting a Zeta lately.

    • BAEEEEEEEL!

    • nice ppap pun there

    • Transforming kits are the bane of my existence as I have meaty fingers for the delicate transformations! Also R.I.P. I.B.O.

    • Zyphr replied 7 years ago

    • I’ve been thinking about getting the Bael, but I don’t have time to finish my contest entry let alone build another kit.

    • Jeeg replied 7 years ago

      That’s an awesome prize! I hope the next Gundam serie will have lots of transforming robots again!

    • OMG Zeta Gundam 2.0, one of my absolute favorite Gundam designs, and kits! Hope I will be able to win it!

    • Oh man I really hope the next RG is a unicorn. That would be awesome!

    • New Funima version is always appreciated! 😀

      Oh, now I remembered that there is also that new Fumina figu-rise bust… hmmm, I like it a lot but I still have Makina waiting for her paintjob to be finished. So until then, no new kits for me 😛

    • crossing my fingers for d Zetta!

    • The Zeta Gundam is honestly one of my favorite gundams, he is extremely good looking in robot mode. His first appearance in the Zeta anime was pretty amazing as well. Her’s hoping I win (fingers crossed)
      In the middle of building my own 1/100 Vidar and hes awesome, still conflicted on whether to buy the Bael though.
      Great show as always guys cant wait to see the Hobby show video.

    • Great show as always guys and Syd the right arm is from the Blitz Gundam. In the manga the gold frame gets it’s arm cut off by the Red frame then escapes. They then salvaged the arm of the Blitz that was cut off by Kira. They did it to replace the arm and give the Gold frame the mirage colloid the Blitz had.

    • gundam bael looks interesting and elegant
      for the zeta i dont think im lucky

    • Sulf replied 7 years ago

      I’m kind of surprised Bandai hasn’t released that awesome action stand as a stand alone. I would say they’re keeping it only for special releases….but the MG Fenice had it, which was a normal release!

    • I like Zeta!

    • 2.0 Hype!

    • The new zeta HG looks really good.

    • The latest batch of Gundam designs haven’t really interested me that much, sadly. It’s all fine by me, though; that just means more room for stuff like Macross and Frame Arms.

      Here’s hoping for that Zeta.

    • I love Zeta Gundam. Did you know they’re showing HD episodes on youtube?

    • The amatsu mina is sope AF!

    • can i have that zeta pls…

    • I have room on my shelf 😉

    • That Zeta would,fit nicely to my FAZZ wich rests in its fortess-form on my shelf.

    • Please! For the love of Gundam, NO MORE FUMINA!!!!

    • that gundam vual looks awesome. definitely going on my “to get list”.

    • Can’t wait to see Hobby Show 2017. Hope to see the anticipate MG Gundam Justice in the show.

    • wow, what’s a busty Fumina… I would like to see more of that

    • Holy crap zeta

    • @Super Fumina Axis Angel Ver., that white plastic is NOT attractive at all… I would rather have the regular white plastic that the previous version used.

    • Wonder if we will ever receive a Zeta 3.0…..

    • Still can’t believe that there isn’t a Zeta 3.0!

    • Juan replied 7 years ago

      Looking forward the Shizuoka Hobby Show previews!

    • Heard a G no Reconguista project is in the works… does that mean there’s still hope for an MG G-Self??

    • I like how the frame for the right arm on the RG Gold Frame isn’t an Astray. Talk about attention to detail.

    • Love the design of the Astray gold frame even though it’s a mish mash of the Blitz and Astray. The colour scheme really makes the look different to the blue and red frame.

    • Everyone wants Zeta 3.0, but I’m excited for the ZZ Gundam Ver.Ka!

    • ak786 replied 7 years ago

      ZETA GUNDAM!!

    • Love the zeta series and mobile suits in the show. For some reason never got a Zeta mg and and hopefully I get lucky and win.

    • waaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghh!

    • Karyu replied 7 years ago

      change my opinion on transformable gunpla by giving it to me

    • A RG F91 probably can’t use Wing Zero’s frame, as it’s about 1cm smaller in 1/144 scale. God Gundam could use Zero’s frame perfectly, as far as size goes.

      What bothers me about a Nu or Sazabi RG is that they’ll probably do the same thing they did with the Sinanju. I think they should’ve made a “middle UC” frame to handle all of the larger suits like Nu and Sinanju. Then they could make a “late UC” frame for F91 and Victory.

    • More MG Origin kits!

    • I had an MG Zeta 2.0 before (from HLJ, of course) but I kinda sold it. It was in the time when i was a beginner and still just snap building kits. So i kinda have some issues with it.

      However, now, well, here is to hoping i win that (hehe). With the ZZ in the works. Would be a good addition in the Zeta line.

      Good job as always guys. I was thinking of collecting the RG line before but i kinda quit on that and sold my RG kits. The new RG kits though… Such a tease.

    • la k replied 7 years ago

      yeah? zeta?

    • Praying for the zeta !! lol

    • i want zeta!

    • Zeta me up!

      Great show once again guys 🙂

    • MG zeta is an amazing kit

    • Great show. Wonder what the next RG will be?

    • Gmmm replied 7 years ago

      I think they should fill up the summer spot with more MG Unicorn kits. Given that the MG Sniper was released recently I would love for them to release some of the grunt suits that appear in the 4th OVA that might use the same or a very similar frame. GM-II, GM-III, Aqua GM, Nemo 2.0, Jegan, Guncannon DT, Byarlant Custom and even the Loto.

      The Zeta 2.0 reminds me of something. Wasn’t there a rumor about a Double Zeta MG release based on some poll they made?

    • Hope to win!!! 🙂

    • let me clear the space off ur shelf

    • Here’s hoping that RNG Jesus blesses me with a Zeta 2.0 to go next to my MG MKII 2.0.

    • Hey Syd, do you know what CAD software the bandai guys use by any chance?

    • ZETA!!!!!!!!!! Would love to get that kit!

    • To celebrate the upcoming 40th anniversary of GunPla, which MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam on its first release in Spring 2017 as the new HG line called HG Accelerate Evolution, it’ll be nice if i also can get that 1/100 zeta as my first zeta, thanks syd & tod, hjl

    • Another great episode. I have customization ideas for that Zeta Gundam. Also looking forward to the new one this month.

    • Zeta! I’m ready for a 3.0 zeta

    • Ohhhh! an oldie as a freebie! me me!
      Nice episode guys. I don’t know much about the gold frame but it looks good! I enjoyed the Bael build, looks solid.

    • I build a zeta C1 a couple of months ago which imo is the best looking transformable gundam suit. I forgot its not a transformer toy and i transformed it a billion times =.=(which was extremely fun) and broke the fin T____T.

      I guess I should glue it back someday.

    • Kamille is not a girl’s name!

    • Loving the Bael. Still wish they would let us have a 1/100 Kimaris Vidar to go with it. The new Gold Frame also looks amazing. Think this means there’s hope for a Gold Frame Amatsu Mina MG?

    • ZETA!!!! almost done with my playing with plamo entry guys

    • Great show. I hope we get a 1/100 Kimaris Vidar since it was my favorite design next to the Barbatos Lupus.

    • OMG, the zeta 2.0!! i have wanted that kit for sooooooo long. It looks amazing!

    • That regular coloured Zeta would look really good next to my custom coloured one

    • Believe in a sign of Zeta!

    • The Amatsu Mina is just too busy and flashy for me.

    • #RGUnicornPlease

    • I didnt know there was 2.0 zeta, i am so late on this

    • This video motivated me to build my 1 100 gold frame.
      Looks terrific andi recommend it to any builder.

      The zeta has my favorite face so this time i really hope i win

    • Been excited for the GOLD Frame since its No-Grade form. RG has outdone itself!

    • If your reading this then congratulations! You are winner!

    • I have a 2.0 Zeta but I broke the leg piece that attaches to the waist when I was transforming him one time, been sitting in it’s box since.

    • Those Fumina kits are something else!I have a question about the RG Amatsu Mina.I was thinking of painting the RG frame for this kit to give it a shinier look. Do you guys think it’ll hinder the movement of the joints? Thank you in advanced!

      • Anytime you paint something, you are adding a new layer of thickness. So yes the joints will be tightes, and yes you should paint it, but not with spray cans. Spray can paint is much thicker than air brushed lacquer paint. Use and an airbrush.

    • Looking forward to whatever Bandai has waiting for us at the show coming, hoping for a 1/100 Flauros from IBO

    • Zeta me up!

    • Awesome zeta

    • Thanks for bringing back into stock in February (for a very short time) the classic HG 1/100s’ of GUNDAMs Airmaster Burst and Leopard Destroy. Made my month.

    • MG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina would be awesome 🙂 , RG is too small for my hands 🙂

    • OMG! Love ZETA!!!

    • Hey Syd and Todd, I have finally caught up in watching every Gunpla Tv episode and footage from various events you have attended. Man what a journey. My friends started into Gunpla around July of 2016 (when I started watching from episode 1) and I got interested so I YouTube searched about Gunpla and one of the top results was a Gunpla tv episode. So I searched for episode 1 and got hooked. Before I go on for to long I have a question for you guys, do you know of any plans from bandai to “revive” the old G Gundam kits like Dragon, Bolt, Rose, Maxter, Devil, and Rising Gundam? G Gundam is my favorite series and I would love solid models to have on display. I am a huge fan of your show and look forward to more episodes in the future keep up the good work.

    • It has been a while since I saw a gunpla tv episode due to my new job. I can finally catch up and see what is going on in the world of Gunpla.

    Here’s a few pics of the ragondin for you to have a look at and best of luck to everyone on there awesome builds.
    Also big thanks to all who followed and commented on the way.

      them ribbons, some amazing details sir

    • Beork replied 7 years ago

      Great build again, painting rules too! Not overly fan of the design, but it does work and pulls well together.
      The dio part really finishes it.

      Good show old man, good show!

      Thank you very much, i appreciate that it’s not your cup of tea with the design, i have no problems with that, not everyone gonna like the look of it. 😀

    • Wow! I have been following your build when you were cutting the bottles and slapping clay on them. You are truly talented and an inspiration! Thanks for sharing

  • Last wip images because my memory card on the camera seems to be malfunctioning and eating images so i lost a bunch of stuff and this is all thats left.
    Attached the Ragondin…

    • If we could vote for the winner, you would have my vote. What you started with and now made it into this is just amazing. Good luck.

    • mud look perfect

    • You are crazy ! Your work is too crazy ! 😀 You are my favorite ! By lucky i’m in the category intermediate ^^”

    • @ Gundam Medic

      Once again thank you very much for commenting and following the build and i’m glad you found the buildup interesting and one day i wanna see you build your own monster robot. 😉

    • @ Minarto

      Hey thanks.

    • @ Orchidia

      Thank you!!! i think we are all a little crazy around here , i’m up against some awesome builds as it is and you never know one of your kits could be bumped up to Advanced and then we would all be in for an even tougher fight. 😀

    • Thank you Java! But I do not hope! The competition is already very tough with 322 participants in my category, so with a hundred crazy like you, I think I will fast drown! XD

  • I think this might be the final wip for this guy maybe.
    I’ll look over him for a few days and see if there is anything else i can do to it.

    Put material around the legs and…

    • The eyes remind me of Sin from Final Fantasy 10

    • Damn it! Keep the edges, but for gods sake.. show this thing in its full glory. BTW.. the gold decals. Are these real goldfoil?

    • Yeah it does look a bit like it, i havent played Final Fantasy 10 for years, your making want to get the HD versions now.

    • Well i have to keep things suspenseful until it’s finished or it would be no fun. 😉
      The decals are gold foil i’m pretty sure i bought from hobbycraft a while ago.

    • I really like this! The only issue is with the rough texture, but it’s ok since you did weathering. Good luck!

    • Really awesome mate! We’re not worthy 😉
      I really dig how smart you use stuff like gold stickers and other card making stuff (like the halfbead peral things).
      Paint is ace too.

    • @ Enrico Asa no Hoshi:

      Thanks!!! i guess.

    • @ Beork:

      😀 Thank you very much, it’s suprising really the amount of stuff we can use on models that you would never think about using.

      How’s your build going, looking forward to seeing it all complete

  • I have built and painted the weapon and also painted the troops and a few extra parts.
    I put the material over the arms and have glued the armour on.
    I will add some extra detail to everything shortly.
    • This is looking like a winner!

    • I forgot to ask if you took inspiration from Warhammer? Or is this Warhammer?

    • Hey thanks mate, nah i wouldnt say warhammer more like inspiration from the old manga/anime cartoons like Five Star Stories , escaflowne and Dunebine.

    • The hell… why am I even going on… that hammer!!! You will have my vote too!

    • So it’s a scratch-built battle scene?

    • The creativity and skill that it must’ve taken for you to do this is amazing. I only hope to be a fraction this good some day.

    • Cool stuff!
      I like the hamerthing a lot man.
      So, the cloth on the arms is just that? cloth? (recalling your comment earlier)

    • Thanks you very much, hey don’t give up I want to see your finished dio too. 😉

    • Yep!!, well 95% scratch built, I have used a few toy/model spares for the mechanical parts and the hands.

    • Thank you.

      You can make stuff like this and you probably will. I’ve just had a lot of practise at making things that’s all.

    • What is it this time you troublemaker. 😉
      Thanks mate yeah I don’t know what to call the weapon either, looks like a giant deadly plexor that the doctors use to test reflexes. 😀

      Yeah its red cloth but painted a darker red then a lighter red on top for shading with a little bit of weathering applied, the paint stiffens up the material and…[Read more]
