I'm down wit the Kshatriya, as long as it's in scale. I just love that hulking beast of a Zeke suit. Doesn't the Hi-Nu seem to be the older Chunky style design? More importantly, does this open up a possibility for the Nightingale as an RD?

I think it does, if so, that would be pretty badass .

Alright...I want to get into Gundam models after picking up an already completed Sandrock Custom (I didn't know it was completed when I bought it alas...) What's everyone's suggestion on a good entry model? I'd like a higher grade of plastic than this guy if possible.

What scale would you prefer?

I'm honestly not sure. The guy I bought was 1/100 which isn't bad but I'd probably perfer a little bigger.

The Wing Gundams are shorter than average (15 meters) so the 1/100 are around 15 centimeters, most Gundams are roughly 18 meters so their 1/100 would be closer to 18 cm.

The main 1/100 lines are the No Grades (The 00 ones are good from what I heard, older ones probably aren't worth your time) and the Master Grades which are amongst the higher end of Gunplas while remaining affordable.

Personally I prefer 1/144 scale kits, but that relies heavily on the virtue of the scope and variety available. However, I agree that a nice solid MG would be a good place to start. The engineering and plastic quality far outshine those of the HG 1/100 lines. I'm slowly working my way through the EW version of the Wing suits.

Any particular design or series that sparks your interest?

MG eh? I'll see if my local anime shop has some of those. As far as design or series I'm not really all that familiar. I watched some Gundam Wing a long time ago but that's about it. Any suggestions for cool looking sets?

No prob.

And honestly it depends on your tastes I consider the Z'gok to be one of the best looking Mobile Suits ever while other people may find it lame.

Spend some time browsing the gundam wiki and google, check out which designs interest you, we'll let you know if they are available in kit form.

No worries.

As always, Dalong's site is the go to stop for an overview of just about every kit released. Can't really ask for a better OOB experience. Something is sure to strike your fancy.

The Z'Gok is incredibly smexy, and lethal in the right hands. The MS of OYW era Zeon has alot of my favorite designs. My highlight is the Dom. I just love that chunky design to death.
