His photoshoot of the Zenrai Assault type shows everything it comes with, including the older Gourai and Zenrai parts.

Also, here's the standard Zenrai

for good measure, there's also the Ryurai and it's variant, the Werewolf Specter

Ok, I am sold on the Assault Type, I wasnt able to find a picture of whati t came with, as i really wanted the shoulder cannon of the original. I have now pulled the trigger on my (backordered) figure now!

Thanks for that mate, yes that does look like it has potential. Maybe stick a load of smaller turrets over it, then go in with the green stuff?

It's between that now and the Gundam UC M61A5 (although saw the price of that imported, around £100!)

And, ended up getting distracted by this, which would have absolutely no use in any game but has moved right to the top of my future buying list regardless!

It is only 1/72 scale, unfortunately. Kid_Kyoto made one a year or so ago, I think.

The T28 could just be plastered with a load of Milliput, and turrets added. The Venus Wars tank has a pretty blobby look to it.

The additions would have to be done well not to end up looking like something with blobs of putty stuck on it.

So I am looking for a Gundam that is almost if not exactly the same size as a Riptide. I am looking to save some money here too, so if its as much as the GW model, I would rather just buy the real deal. Suggestions on what model I should get?

I think you will find many of the 1/00 or some of the 1/144 scale gundam kits to work for what you seek, and also are far cheaper than GWs' 80-90 dollar range, many are at or less than 20-30 bucks.

Well, if the Knight is 6" or thereabouts, then there's a good wide range of kits available, as mentioned earlier in this thread.

Meanwhile, who wouldn't want to Orkify this beast?


He's actually a reproduction of an old Aoshima kit from their Robodachi series, due for release in July.

Ah, I didn't mean to use that as the Venus Wars tank, just as a separate modelling project. Absolutely love the model, was reading about it and it was just a Miyaziki sketch (not from an animation or anything like that), he'd just drawn the tank with the little animal soldier guys (cook and mascot etc.) stood around it..

Jehan-reznor - Can I ask, did you get the version that had the soldiers with it? And if so what kind of scale they are/how many you get?

I didn't bought the one with the figures because i planned to convert it from the get go, i think the normal version comes with one or two figures, and if you look at the pictures the figures are around halve the size than that of a space marine.

@Pacific; As I also own one of the Miyazaki tanks, they come with a full crew of Pig soldiers, the tank is set at 1/72nd scale, So, modifications are required to use with IG/SM, I simply have employed the telescoping observation tower as a retractable augury pod, all servos inside. I suppose with some spare Leman russ hatces, as I used on the main turret, I could place a more proper hatch. I use the MGs of the tank as stnad ins for Hvy stubbers, but that is a major redrilling to convince folks due to the bore sized I got. I use it mostly as a rolling MG nest with some heavier cannons in the turret

For a Riptide, why not the Kotobukiya Sunshine?

I think it's roughly between Riptide and Wraithknight in height.

Hey, you're right, it does make a good stand in. And I have to say, the Miyazaki tank looks way better in it's original incarnation than the Mutant Chronicles redesign.

You misunderstand. Kid_Kyoto is a true modeller and gamer because he has two kits that have been sitting in the attic unbuilt for years.

Yours look very nice built up.

That resin beast does not quite fit the Miyazaki design. I made my B-1 into a Malcador Defender.
