    You should talk to Ascot, he's an avid collector models from the various Gundam series.

    YAY!!! A fellow mecha modeller!!! Bastard, you got some nice Macross models there! They are hard to get.. Where are you from?

    My collection is as follows:

    Built:
    1/144 Wing Gundam
    1/144 Gundam Deathscythe
    1/144 Gundam Heavyarms (I built a second one for Beena here which came out quite nice, didn't it B? ^^)
    1/144 Tallgeese
    1/144 Vayeate
    1/144 Mercurius
    1/144 RX-78 Gundam
    1/100 High Grade Deathscythe Hell
    1/100 Master Grade MS-06F Zaku II

    In Progress:
    1/100 Master Grade Zeta Gundam (Almost finished, I just have to build the guns and add some detail)
    1/144 High Grade Universal Century Z'Gok (just out of the box)

    In Store:
    1/100 Master Grade MS-07B Gouf
    1/144 Led Mirage (this is my only non-bandai non-gundam model, it is from Wave and the anime "The Five Star Stories")
    1/144 Tallgeese (I bought a set of high detail parts for this kit, I actually bought a new one cuz it's cheap and it is my favorite Mobile Suit. I know much more techniques now and I hope it will come out great!)

    So yeah, you could say I have done some models...

    Hey there, I'm from Macroom in Cork.

    My model making skills are a bit limited to say the least, my Endless Waltz Gundams are unpainted and look a bit crap and the Master Grade RX-78-2 is unmade as of yet.

    Whats the MG MS-06F Zaku II like?
    I've been thinking of getting one for a while now since the Perfect Grade Zaku's are too expensive for me.

    I've also just added a Macross Destroid Monster to my collection and I have my eye on one of the new Macross VF-1S's that Yamato are releasing around Christmas.

    Plus HLG just confirmed that they got all my stuff in and its been sent, that include a Yamato YF-21, Bandai 1/60 Ingram kit and a bunch of Japanese anime and modelling magazines that I won't understand but @ least I can look @ the pretty pictures and the DVD thats included with one of the mags.

    The MG Zaku is... ok. It is great as it has a great variety of weapons, and that beautiful monoeye mechanism, but it lacks some advanced Master Grade features like inner detail (it has some though).

    There was a recent production run of an improved version of the MG RX-78 as it was an old kit, called Gundam 1.5. You can get it in HLJ. It gives it better proportions more according to the improved plastic model technology at Bandai.

    I am REALLY wanting to get the PG Zaku II, but the Char Aznable Commander Type Customized version... when my wallet is full again that is -_-

    Oh, my models are real crap, probably much worse than yours.

    At the moment I only have 2 Gundam Wing models, the 1/100 scale Wing Zero and Shenlong Gundams.
    Also Squall, Quistis, Irvine, Seifer and Laguna from Final Fantasy VIII. I know it's an old game but I still haven't got the complete set!
    And I have only 2 Metal Gear Solid figures, Liquid Snake and Ninja.
    Not a great selection but its a start!

    I just got round to putting together that Master Grdae RX-78-2.
    Damn tasty kit, plus I actually did a decent job of it this time.
    Now I'm gonna paint it and add all of those little detail pieces.

    I just finished my Master Grade Zeta Gundam and I am starting work on my Z'Gok, if college allows.

    Dammit, the Zeta is a complicated kit, so many moving parts, plus the Hyper MegaLauncher is F**ING BIG. Way cool tho.

    Ummmmm - I've got a Quistis model (thanks again sis!!!!) and a Rogue model from the movie. I don't know if that counts or not!). And I have a Rally Vincent action figure on preorder which I won't be getting till November. And that is the sum total of my collection.


    Hey! Anyone know if there's a Geri Halliwell action figure around
