10-foot gundam made from leftover model part trees
Ever wonder what to do with those stupid grids of plastic left over when you assemble a model? How about build a Gundam?
That’s exactly what these guys did with their leftover bits and pieces. It took over 250 man-hours to build the RG (Recycle Grade) RX-78-2 Gundam, which measures in at nearly 10-feet tall. Of course, it was built almost entirely from the spare plastic runners and part trees from smaller Gundam model kits.

| Description: It features superior flexibility -- Bandai\'s designed an all-new, unique inner frame system for this model, to match the proportions of the mecha designs in the series. The waist joints even allow it to bend side to side, and twist realistically! The \"camera eyes\" light up with internal wiring and a single LED. Not surprisingly, a lot of parts are required to create the exquisite detail we\'ve come to associate with the Perfect Grade series -- over 550 ABS plastic parts, all molded in colour, plus polycaps for the joints, die-cast joint parts for stability, and of course the LED and wiring for the head (requires one CR1220 watch-type battery, sold separately). Parts are included for a Beam Rifle, shield, Armor-Schneider blades, and of course the positively enormous Grand Slam sword -- this last beautifully plated in silver! A challenging project for fans of Gundam, of Gundam SEED in particular, or just Perfect Grade kits! | |
Man torched home after mum trashed Gundam toys
Thirty-year-old Yoshifumi Takabe did what any emotionally repressed nerd might do when his mother, with whom he lived, threw out some of his robot action figures. He burned down the house.
Takabe, who says he became suicidal after losing the Gundam \'bots that he considered his life partners, just plead guilty in Kobe District Court for setting the blaze in 2009.

Gundam Or Burning Alive? Hrm…
Last August, a 29-year-old factory worker was arrested for setting his house on fire. The cause? An altercation with his mother over Gundam figurines.Yoshifumi Takabe was accused of dousing his room in kerosene and lighting it ablaze with a lighter after his mother disposed of his “precious” Gundam plastic model figurines. Takabe intended to kill himself, but ended up escaping without injury as did his 55-year-old mother.
His family’s two-story house burned to the ground.
Takabe has pleaded guilty, and has now admitted in court as his case has gotten underway that he set fire to his house out of anger.
“Plastic figures of Gundam are like my life partners,” he told the court. “I thought I would rather burn to death with them than have them thrown away.”
M’okay.

Life-Size Gundam's Parts Auctioned for 4 Million Yen
The online website Yahoo Auctions! Japan sold three spare parts and three decals from the 1/1-scale, "life-size" Gundam statue for charity for 4,001,000 yen (about US$46,900). The auction ran from August 16 to August 23 and ended after 224 bids. The charity benefits the Japan Committee "Vaccines for the World's Children."
The fiberglass-reinforced plastic parts with an urethane-resin coating were for the 18-meter-tall (59-foot-tall) statue that once stood at Tokyo's artificial Odaiba island last year. The statue now stands at the central Japanese city of Shizuoka, the "model capital of the world" and the home of Bandai's factory for Gundam plastic models.
In particular, Part A is from an operating part of the hip joint, Part B is from the tip of the feet, and Part C is an exterior detail used throughout the body's surface. The clear acrylic film decals were made on a thermal wax printer and would have been used on the lower arms and lower legs.
The parts from the Gundam statue were on display at the Gundam Super Expo, which ran into Tokyo from August 10 to 19. A second set of spare parts will go on auction on September 13.

How to "cut" GUNPLA properly
August 23, Selangor, Hi Gundam fan, try my first self-made Gundam modelling tutorial here, I just purchased SEED DESTINY NO. 22, Vent Saviour Gundam scaled 1/100, and used this as a modeling subject.
Would like to do some comparison before I proceed further, below is a snapshot of the arm of Aile Strike Gundam scaled 1/100. Without the side cutter involved, I actually am using a nail cutter. =.=||
Then, now I would like to showcase how to properly detach Gundam part E6 from SEED DESTINY NO. 22, Vent Saviour Gundam scaled 1/100 using a side cutter. It should took you a few dollar to afford it, I took a package of it.
Cutting by spruces itself is wrong as you might have a swallow sign on the surface, it's advised that you should cut on the intersection of the gates and spruces, and have it cut the second time using this knife again to clean the sign further. If possible, try to cover the swallow sign using a paintbrush, however I not have it. That's why I feel like half ton water. :(.
So why is it you would ask to buy a side cutter rather then a NAIL CUTTER? You can see from the above photo the mouth of the nail cutter is curved edge, while the side cutter's is flat edged. This makes the cutting of spruces more easily as you hold tight and cut it.
The second cut.
Well, I still yet to purchase a paint brush to touch the sign on it's chest. Guess I will write until here and keep it short, and most of all, hope you guys give comment for me to further improve my writing skills and story telling skills.
Alright, for you guys who really can't wait for the next story telling, perhaps it would be best if you have a look at this video, it's pretty complete in the sense too. Enjoy the show.~ & feel free to walk around our website http://gundam.my

The Gundam Crusader
These days, there aren't as many English Gundam resource sites as there used to be a few years ago. One site frequently used by fans these days is Wikipedia, "The Free Encyclopedia" that anyone can edit. You can find literally anything on Wikipedia - including loads of detailed Gundam articles. Now, because anyone can edit an article, you sometimes get entries that feature unverified and inaccurate information. One example I often use is the so-called "ZGMF-901S Fortune Gundam." According to the entry that was once listed on Wikipedia, the Fortune Gundam was meant to be piloted by Gilbert Durandal at the end of Gundam SEED DESTINY. It was to be armed with a GENESIS-like gamma ray cannon named Zykon Craft. This goofy machine was nothing but an unsubstantiated rumor that an over-eager fan decided to add to Wikipedia's DESTINY article.
What's the point of mentioning that example? I want to establish that although Wikipedia's entries on Gundam can be prone to errors, it doesn't mean that they're useless. However, a "Wikipedian" named Brian G. Crawford disagrees. Right now, Crawford is in the middle of a one-man crusade to delete approximately 100 Gundam articles. Why would he want to do that? Is he a Gundam fan? I'll let him explain in his own words, from the discussion to delete the articles on the Cosmic Era's two wars: "Fictional wars from a Japanese cartoon that involves battles between huge anthropomorphic robots resembling samurai wearing different colors of car fenders."
Wow, I've never seen such a spot-on description of Gundam in my many years as a fan. It's obvious that Crawford knows more about Gundam than me or anyone else. In fact, he knows quite a bit about a wide variety of subjects. Examining his user page shows that he's targeted articles in several subjects for deletion: Socialism and gold, web comics, the Mesopotamian god Marduk and of course, Gundam. Funny thing is, I don't really see him contributing anything to Wikipedia because he's so busy nominating things for deletion. Of course, I'm not a high-level Wikipedia user, so I could be wrong on that point.
You might wonder what his reason is for singling out Gundam articles. Again, Crawford's own words: "This is obviously fancruft, highly specific material about a fictional world." If you're asking yourself what "fancruft" means, here's Wikipedia's definition: "Fancruft is a term sometimes used in Wikipedia to imply that a selection of content is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question."
Now, aside from the fact that I don't care for elitist terms like fancruft, I don't think it applies to Gundam. A science fiction franchise that's been around for nearly 30 years and appeals to people worldwide certainly does not equate to a "small population of enthusiastic fans." Also, there's plenty of material on Wikipedia that would qualify as fancruft. For example, their entry for Star Trek's NCC-1701-D USS Enterprise. Wow, that's pretty detailed - I didn't know the Enterprise-D could hold 95,000 tons of cargo. And to drive the point home, have a look at the entry for Star Wars' Star Destroyer. Who knew there were so many classes of Star Destroyers? This is fancruft if ever there was any, but no one, including Crawford, is targeting these articles for deletion. If someone did, I imagine there'd be a fierce battle to keep them.
Admittedly, Gundam is nowhere near as popular in the U.S. as Star Wars or Star Trek. However, Crawford's methods in requesting the deletion of Gundam articles are disingenuous, offensive and in poor taste. If I wanted to delete Star Wars articles and described the franchise as "fictional war where a farmer, ghosts, a green midget and an angry space bear try to save the galaxy from evil dorks in plastic white armor," I'd certainly be flamed. I'd also be creating a bias with users who aren't familiar with the subject. If I heard someone talking about "samurai robots with car fenders" I would think it's garbage too. But Gundam isn't even remotely like that description. I'm sure the debate will continue for a long time about whether or not Wikipedia should have detailed articles on fictional worlds. Personally, the outcome of that debate doesn't matter to me. However, if Gundam articles or any other "fancruft" articles are to be deleted, it should be handled by people knowledgeable on the subject, not one man on a crusade to delete things at his whim for his own reasons.
