For reference the MG 00 QAN[T] Full Saber here in Aus goes for around $100

Crossposting from the scale model thread. This is the first scale model I built in a couple decades. I had read about how easy the Bandai kits are to assemble and it seemed like a good idea to go easy on myself until I'm up to speed. Add me to the giant list of people swooning over how high quality these kits are, for virtually pocket change. I wish I could get Maschinen Krieger kits this easily.

I gave my LEO NPD a custom paint job and experimented on some chipping and weathering. Turned out pretty nice.

I'll be sure to come back and post bulky, rusty, monstrosities that will horrify you all once I get my kitbashing skills together.

This looks really great - thanks for sharing it here!

Excuse me, this thread is for actual Gunpla kits, not your hand-pressed and half-rusted painted tin replicas, thankyou :goonsay:.

If you want to really go down the Gunpla kitbashing rabbit hole, your next stop should be the HGBC line of accessory packs :unsmigghh:.

New 30 Minutes Mission stuff is up along with a fairly detailed video of how they're constructed. (Exactly the same as the Leo pretty much)

And a little bit of info on the RG Crossbone too. Apparently the red accents on the head are decals :smith: It has a fully docking core fighter and opening mouth vent though.

Not a bad preview, but you'd think they'd actually show some stuff that plugs into the accessory tabs.

I finished putting together MG Buster Gundam today and I liked it a lot. In parts it reminded me of the Wing MG series and I really enjoyed putting those together too. It's definitely pushed the rest of the SEED original five up on my to buy list.

Has anyone ever built a model kit of any of the modern BattleTech designs? I know for a while in the eighties and nineties you could get imported Dougram and Votoms kits under like a Robotech license deal but I want, like, a good, articulated Atlas that I don't have to glue and would look at home next to mah Gundams.

Depends. Do you own a high-quality 3D printer? If so, I can point you in a good direction.

If not, your only option is getting a "museum scale" miniature from Iron Wind Metals. All would require glue and likely cleaning up of some sort (I believe they're primarily resin kits (I'm wrong they're solid pewter)).

Edit: They're about 1:125 scale. I can't say I'd recommend IWM's museum scale miniatures though. The proportions feel a little off on the Atlas.

Did those new Battletech tabletop minis with sculpts based off the MechWarrior Online designs ever release? I remember seeing the box art for one of the planned boxes.

3D printed stuff is probably your only bet. The Battletech line has been mired in such a mess you'd have a hard time finding anything.

You can track down stuff that was made for the original series that Battletech repurposed but you're probably out of luck having them look good without a lot of work. I think Macross is really the only series that's still active with model kits, but it's nowhere near as developed as Gundam is (most things aren't) and it's not always Bandai-designed so quality will vary. The other problem is that Destroid stuff is generally going to be older because the series gets more and more transformable fighter-laden over time, with Destroids primarily featuring in Macross Zero and the original series/movie.

I saw two different boxes of a new battletech release in my hobby shop that had miniatures based on the newer mechwarrior online designs.

The new boxed sets did release, but the designs aren't based on the MWO designs. There's an Awesome, a Catapult, a Commando, and then some resculpts of the "safe" reseen, the BattleMaster, Shadow Hawk, Locust, Wolverine, and Thunderbolt. They're also the best quality plastics BattleTech has ever had.






I included an MWO-style Annihilator, an MWO-style Awesome, and an old (lovely) CityTech Timberwolf for comparison. The Annihilator and Awesome were both acquired through a third-party retailer. There's no official way to get models of the MWO sculpts but they're generally pretty nice.




If you're wanting a big showpiece model you're really going to want to just rip the model out of MWO and 3D print it.
