Hole O Gundam mod spotted in one of this months hobby mags at my local book store. Wanted to do mods to my Gundams but never got round to it - didn't have the know-how either. How many of you mod your Gundams or do you prefer to keep the original product design?

That is a ton of holes. I'd still prefer the original Gundam though.

If I'm not wrong, it's in the lastest issue of Hobby Japan. Speaking of modding,sometimes you need to mod your gunpla to make it easier to air brush it. But the gundam featured is really some hardcore modding...
(ID #442353) Posted on 2009/01/10 11:42
Only very minor ones. I modded my 1/100 OverFlag's head to give it better articulation.
(ID #442364) Posted on 2009/01/10 11:56
wow... what a crazy Gundam mod. I never mod my Gundams. Original look is the best for me. Although I don't deny if someone give me a super cool mod Gundam. XD

it looks a little creepy. I have been planning to mod a gunpla model kit and I'm going to enter it in for U.S. BAKUC 09

Wow, that's one crazy mod indeed. But I don't think Gundam would get that much damage with Amuro Ray piloting it ^^;

It looks like an 80's concept of what an actual robot would be like (a skeleton and no skin). I'm a heavy modeller. Check out my blog if you haven't already.

I tend to keep the gundam to as close to the anime interpretation as possible, but I don't mind a kitbash or mods to improve an element of the model, like making unicorn more posable when it's open up, or possibly trying to make it more like the evolve designs. but the above? nah...

I'd do a custom paint job maybe but actually butchering my precious "Gundam wing zero" with holes is a no no for me ^^; Maybe add parts of other gundams into another too, having 8 arms and 6 wings isn't strange looking right?!

holey metallic gundam batman! lol sorry I couldn't resist. ^^ anyway the only mods I could ever do is to custom paint my gundams, otherwise I'm rather inept

Modding depends. If there's something that irks you about how it looks, you'll end up wanting to fix it. This is especially true on older kits where things like neck and torso height are annoying.

i mod them sometimes, usually battle damage or something minor, usually get the model to have it just like the anime, now star trek kits.. i mod the hell out of them!
(ID #442636) Posted on 2009/01/10 16:12
*>.>* I'd mod my gundam kits to the extreme as long as i have a duplicate of the kit(in case something happens*gasp*)and the mod is tasteful,detailed,and functional.

Ah boy... I had been playing around with a bit of weathering but I could never bring myself to damage my gundams in anyway to get it to looks as cool as I would want to mod it... such a dilemma. I should just do as I did with my Warhammer figures, have a clean copy and a moddable version. Would be expensive though.
(ID #442758) Posted on 2009/01/10 17:20
Although it looks kind of cool, I just don't see the point in doing that.

Does look cool and unigue i guess but not a fan. Never mada a gundam, more of a macross model fan.
(ID #442888) Posted on 2009/01/10 19:04
the only mods I do to my gunpla is just paint it a different color. if you consider that a mod, though. <_<
(ID #442912) Posted on 2009/01/10 19:39
Never tried modding, but I'd like to someday.
(ID #442930) Posted on 2009/01/10 20:09
Before recent, I went for the close to anime look. Then I decided to paint my HG 1/144 Exia's Lenses a Gundam Eye (thats what it says on the gundam marker anyhow) color to make it look like the GN drive was running. A week later, wanted to put LEDs into it. Another week later (like 3 hours ago actually ^^;) I stuck a LED into the center lens part. I think the quick change was due to seeing a Trans-am 00 mod on the site and the fact that I had another Exia from the GN-Arms kit. :D
(ID #442972) Posted on 2009/01/10 21:15
Tbh I prefer having the original thing, but mods do look very cool. Requires so much time/effort/knowledge though, all things I don't have! I think mods to improve look on the original designs are cool, like if it doesn't look like it does in the anime or w/e, and also mods to improve mobility, but I lack the time/effort/knowledge for this too. Anyways hope you get back in to Gunpla soon Danny ^_^

(ID #443045) Posted on 2009/01/10 22:36
Haven't done so in the past but I may consider only if the mod increase the articulation.

Custom scheme and LED mono eye installations are the only mods I've ever done.
(ID #443100) Posted on 2009/01/10 23:41
Only mod I've ever done was for the MG Sword Strike's shield so that it could be mounted on the side of the arm like the Aile Strike shield. Turned out okay.
(ID #443427) Posted on 2009/01/11 06:22
Not really interested in mods, but suppose i'll try it in the future
(ID #443457) Posted on 2009/01/11 07:10
I've given modding a shot by adding panel lines and holes with a small pin vice. I usually put pins in there for articulation.
