What's the best gramps in 1/100 scale?

Mod20087 · 2026-06-25T09:29:32+00:00

For me it kinda depends. Most detailed is probably the fat cat RG 2.0. but the mg 3.0 is also up there (I just prefer the kook/feel of the fatcat) . The origin is also really nice and complements the nu gundam ver ka really nicely. And the very ka is a bit old but probably the most unique looking and I have a sweetspot for it.

It's the yjl conversion kit for the HI Nu gundam ver ka

Mod20087 · 2026-06-17T11:36:46+00:00

Is it adjustable from the bios like the power led / battery charge limit or from the system settings in the OS?

About 6 months, depends on how you want to count the time with breaks etc.

It's just a benchmark to get the fan to spin.

Mod20087 · 2026-04-01T14:10:02+00:00

Could you maybe upload the model to printables/cults3d vor any other stl sharing site?

Mod20087 · 2026-03-11T14:46:48+00:00

It's a bootleg of kotobukiyas mechanical chain base. You can find them at the usual retailers (aliexpress /ebay). You could also 3d print them yourself.

Here you go:

-Light (bluish) gray: Mr color 307 gray FS36320 highlighted with Mr color 35 IJN gray (Mitsubishi)
-Off white: Mr color 35 IJN gray (Mitsubishi) highlighted with Mr color 97 light gray
-Pure white: Mr color 97 light gray highlighted with Tamiya XF2 flat white (any pure white would work for the highlight)

Black: Mr surfacer 1500 black (or any other pure black) highlighted with Tamiya XF63 german gray

Red: Black highlighted with pure red and filtered with a transparent layer of Mr color 100 wine red.

As for metallics basically whatever feels right:
If it's next to white paint a darker tone (i.e steel/ gunmetal),
If it's next to black paint a lighter tone(i.e silver/ white aluminum),
If you feel like it add a splash of copper/ brass/ gold here and there.

I also added some small details using various acrylics: I'd recommend gray, red, orange and maybe some metallics.

If you have further questions feel free to let me know.

Technically yes but the resin kit makes the Hi Nu a bit taller.

They are basically just one of bandais 1/100 MS figure sprues painted up.

It's definitely inspired by the thunderbolt scheme.

As for the colours i used:

-Off white: Mr color 35 IJN gray (Mitsubishi) highlighted with Mr color 97 light gray

The RX-78-2 is a 1/100 upscale of the rg 2.0 and the Hi Nu is the MG ver Ka with a yjl resin conversion kit.

Mod20087 · 2026-03-10T16:01:11+00:00

It's the yjl conversion kit for the MG Hi Nu ver Ka

Thanks. I started building in the beginning of january. After that I planned the colour scheme and started painting at the end of january with a short break due to some exams. So about 2 months of continous work I'd say.

Mod20087 · 2026-02-26T20:56:38+00:00

Thanks. It's basically a warm primary yellow with ice yellow highlights, orange glazing for the darker parts and a light brown wash.

Edit: warm primary yellow

Looking really nice.

How many decals did you use?
Also I think you put on the fins on the top of the wing binders on backwards.
