I'm sure there's a Bandai logo molded into the panels somewhere.

Look at how many parts there are! This is very normal though in asian culture to spend ones life on a single puzzle. Sometimes they even commit Seppuku after when the realize they have nothing left to do or they find out a single piece was missing.

That's a 1,000 per day. Average speed on the coast route is maybe about 40 miles per hour. 1,000 miles @ 40 mph = driving 25 hours a day.

I'm thinking you may wish to ........recalculate.

Yeah, what @Cole said.

Cali will be day 2 and 3 of my 11 day road trip.

For 1/144 size, it's really big.


That white gundam (Unicorn gundam) is 1/144... unicorn is bigger than reg HG gunpla (reg is 5"~6")

It's not all pre-painted. But you're right, it's somewhat easier cuz it's HG. Gunpla have few different levels: HG, RG, MG & PG. HG usually have 50 or so pieces... vs PG have +500 pieces.

But cuz of that, they custom paint to make it more unique.


Chrome red paint


Custom LED



You should see their contest they have annually. It's crazy how detail they do it.

Haha, don't wanna over fill it with Gunpla stuff too much, but some of their custom works are pretty cool. To keep my satisfaction, I only build SD ver. My fiance recently made this one (not the photo one, but same kind).

Crazy part about Neo Zeong ones are Bandai don't make LED kit for it. PG Unicorn Gundam, you can get LED kit to install it (which is damn expensive... like $100~$200 Just for the LED kit)... so I wonder how these guys did custom LED kit for Neo Zeong.

I gotta say, Unicorn Gundam LED are pretty cool too.
