I used to have gundam kits from the gundam wing series including the endless waltz movie... sadly nasa orlando sila naiwan ko dun hehehe, I think the only ones im missing are the taurus, virgo, pisces, aries, and the cancer...

I've just rekindled my curiosity for gundams, can anyone direct me where I can get hold of good kits here in manila and paints needed :D

There's Lil's, Megamall and Park Square, Great Toys at Greenhills and WalterMart Makati.  Great Toys offer the best price and often have 5-10 percent all year round, especially if you buy constantly from them and get to know the shopkeepers.  I also get "direct" through a guy who orders in bulk online.

Matanglawin, how long does it take to build a kit? and do you use acrylic paint (like tamiya) to handpaint them toys?
nice collection btw. very dslr-worthy.

Thanks.  It depends, actually.  It takes me long especially when I do modifications and scratchbuilds because I tend to think more on what to do and how to do it and work slow on the building.  Once I start painting, It's only a matter of days.  A simple ootb assembly takes a matter of hours to a couple of days.

you should set up a photoshoot of your stuff sometime.

This particular kit is part of a GroupBuild that will have a Photo Day Meet in March.  Maybe then.

I only collect those Gundams with elaborate wings. Those are fun to build, mine is only 1/144 scale. I'm thinking of doing these again since I can't play airsoft due to gun ban.

@Matanglawin, yun bang Great Toys sa WalterMart is the same as the one that was formerly located at Gold Crest?

I think "she" is the "prime" reason why some people justify getting knockoffs in the first place.

Anyways, this is how my "Crimson Cherub" will eventually look like.

There's a couple of Nath's I've come across, and both are quite good.  One, I think, won the BAKUC a few years back.

That's scribing additional panel lines, or rescribing shallow ones or those otherwise became shallow during sanding.  Personally, I've used gundam markers and regular fine point art pens, but, I found tech pens and panel wash better alternatives depending on the effect I am after.

matanglawin, i'm planning on buying and putting up a kit. though i'm a noob when it comes to this, i had previous experience with scale models. i used to help my dad back then. he's an architectural scale-model builder; and i got the tools. we used to work with acrylic sheets and build scale models from blank.
where do i start? do i buy a 1:144 or mag 1:100 na ako? MG or HG nalang muna? suggest ka na rin ng mga models na maganda.
thanks in advance.  :-)

Depending on which model you'd want to start on, 1/144 HGUCs are fast becoming at par with certain entry-level MGs.  Personally, though, I prefer larger scale MGs, though I do have a few HGUCs, like the Triya. The NG Exia is actually impressive with the detail put into it.

The thing is, regardless of the grade, get what you like most.  You can always assess the detail if you go purchase at Great Toys or other stores that allow you to peek into the boxes.

Hmmm.  I'm not sure I'll be objective.  I'm not much of a Seed fan, hence I don't have those three even though I'm partial to anything RED.  The Strike should be a good choice, though (('m planning to get an MG Strike in the Future, and I do have a Strike Noir).  The Overflag is too simple for my taste.

kung kakayanin po talaga, MG Aile Strike nalang talaga kesa sa HG Aile Strike. You won't regret it, taas lang ng konti sa budget.  :-)
