I've updated my blog with pics of a 7cm/2.5" plastic collectable Gundam Gashapon that I'll be using as a 15mm mecha.

More pics at Eclipsing Binaries here http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/federal-alexander-class-mecha-gundam.html

Fantastic. I have an army of the 1/144 ones I'll have to get around to painting one day. Where did you get yours?

@manic_miner - What's Travellingman?

@Hat Guy - I picked this up on eBay from a seller in Singapore for £2.60 including postage - a bargain!! I have a few more ordered and will post pics when they arrive.

Hold on, let me grab a few more for myself before posting....

colin_baillie · « **Reply #7 on:** June 06, 2012, 10:21:03 AM »

Okay, grabbed a small pile of these. I hope they don't arrive when the wife is at home

Here's the link to the guy I bought my last lot from....

This is a full set, but he has them as individuals as well.

11 sets sold eh? Guess you were busy. :-)
I have always liked the Zaku's from the series. Nice to see there are some.

Lol, I didn't buy 11 sets of those. In fact I didn't buy that set, just individuals ones from the same seller. I have picked up a few others from different sellers that should arrive within a week or two though.

Meanwhile I have a larger 85cm Zaku to paint, plus a Ball that I'm going to use as a very large spaceport cargo lifter droid.

Added a new re-painted Gundam mini. This time a Ball, which I'm using as a heavy cargo loader. Took a while to get this looking battered, dirty and used.

That looks the part. I could see it as a one-man bathysphere, too.

colin_baillie · « **Reply #12 on:** June 15, 2012, 04:12:01 PM »

I've added a "work in progress" of some more Gundam models I'm repainting for my 15mm scifi setting on my blog and will post more pics here as I progress. http://eclipsingbinaries15mm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/mecha-using-gundam-gashapons.html

I have a stash of around 20 of those bloody things. They are in a dark sliver/metallic coloured plastic. Reckon anyone would be interested in them if I stick a few pics up?

colin_baillie · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2012, 09:57:30 PM »

Spevna, is that the little ones? These are larger 70mm versions, but feel free to post pics on this thread.
