I know this line isn't to everyone's taste, but there is a lot of cool things in this Bandai line. You can find most of it on eBay. Everything is 1/35 scale. Great stuff if you're into dioramas!

I hope it's new here...

Nice (really nice) command car/transport...


Nice tank...


Nice battle suit (I think its parked) ...


Some anti-Gundam infantry...

Is that Mecha model from Gasaraki?

Yes, my boo-boo. That's a 1/35 Raiden Battlesuit from Gasarki and not Bandai. Mixing mecha cannons

Shiny soo very shiny.

loooooooove the skimmer tank, would be great for an alternative-look counts-as Tau army or as an alternate Valkyrie.

Its really big. Like Land Raider/Baneblade big.

*facepalm* Great, now Luna is going to come in here and rave about how awesome Gundam and mechas are.

Oh great, now Cheese Elemental is going to to come in here and say something that's kind of childish but makes me laugh because I totally agree.

Oh great, gordino came in here and made me feel sad.

Now I have to go cut myself with a Dark Eldar model. BRB.

Sweet I love the hover tank from 08th MS.

Oh great, now this is going to turn into a anime slagging session like usual.....

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO LIKE ANIME ARE RACE TRAITORS WHO SHOULD ALL GO LIVE IN RED CHINA!

Anyway...

I've seen that hovertruck painted up, it's about the size of a storm lord and has the brutal boxy lines we all love.

Someone will make one heckuva IG transport out of it.

I bet its going to be fun time with the intructions manual

These kits really are precious for the converter in us... the parked mech thing is just amazing.

Luna will rave about how good gundam is?
i think ill start then before she does
they do some amazing models, allways have done, great designs, great concepts.
also, ghost in the shell is just as good.

on that note, any manga / anime if full of good ideas.

ouch

I really dig that tank. I rather wish that GW's tanks followed that line a little more. I like the Russ pretty well and all, but the barrel is silly as is the over all shape. I think it would look much better following more of the Baneblade pattern as this tank seems to.

Thanks for posting

RACE TRAITOR!

Only white folks can make good sci fi! Just like cars and video games and cartoons and comic books!

Hmm....... hmm actually i dont like gundam at all >.>

I do like Five Star Stories ( love their designs ) , and some Patlabor .

gundam i only like their GM .

That hovertank, if retconned with tracks and/or big wheels and some additional plates and glyphs... It could really get some ork on...

lol, nah, i drive a honda integra, which is one of the best cars ive ever had
why buy a ford?
all FF games are great.
dont watch anime much, unless its Ghost or guiver (trying to find the old box sets)

On Topic: Those are some nice models! Though "hover" and IG don't really go together..

Off topic: Honda Integra? Isn't that the very difenition of "Chick Car", so to speak?

Patlabor! (One of my favorites too)

Bandai does 1/35 Patlabor kits as well (They even have a version of the following model with LED police blinkies on the shoulder. You gotta love any mech that looks like an old 40K beakie )...




I like the 1/35 Patlabor control car...



More Patlabor, more 1/35, not sure that it's Bandai



Some more of the Bandai 1/35 Gundam line. (I like weird tech, and this model is definitely that)



A better pic of the anti-gundam squad weapon. That's the best bit...WITH the armored vehicle. (I love cool dioramas)

That spider tank makes me think of the tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell.

That tank is insanely cool though. I love it.

Okay, I have the kit for the E.F.G.F. Type 61 Tank 5 Semovente in my posession. I'm planning on making a Space Marine SHT out of it this July cause I'll have the time then. The gundam tank is about the size of a Baneblade, maybe a little longer. The box is a few milimeters larger than the Baneblade box in all dimensions but the sprues are not quite as dense with bits (The M61A5 just has more sprews).

The crew will NOT work for 40k as they're just too darned tall - they stand close to the two inch mark. Perhaps they can be incorporated into scenery/statuary somehow, I don't know.

I'm planning on dropping the two guns and giving it a Hellhammer gun on an extended barrel cause the Hellhammer just looks cool. I am also considering putting the Vulcan Megabolter on as a hull-mounted weapon. Hurricane Bolters on sponsons (if possible) would make this a bruising anti-infantry tank for use against swarm armies such as Nids and Orks. I'll start a blog in the modelling section once I actually get around to doing it.

Hmm, odd that. In Gundam the robots look like horrible pieces of gak but the tanks and other vehicles are ace.

I have the Gasaraki kit. It's very nice!

Screw G-Dubb....these tanks would look awesome for Infinity, if only to pose as scenery!

Its a shame to take good looking Sci-Fi kit and basically poop all over it to make it fit into GW spikey, bare arsed version of the future!

Just my opinion of course

That tank looks like a good Baneblade variant, assuming it's around the same size.

I would have no problem with an IG based army using the hover vehicles but counting them as tracked vehicles.

The main thing about an army is that there needs to be a unifying style of all the equipment.
