    Gundam: 1/60 PG Gundam 00 + 0 Raiser + Clear Armour Build

    Pre-amble/excuse: I've only built three 1/144 scale HG kits before so this 1/60 PG is a plunge into the deep end! This is a progress build log of my first attempt at a Perfect Grade level kit. Essentially I have skipped a grade level as inbetween High Grade (beginner stuff) and Perfect Grade (expert) is Master Grade (advanced).

    For those who do or do not know, the 1/60 Scale Perfect Grade Gundam 00 with the 0 Raiser was released the tail end of November (I think) 2009. In that pack was a voucher to purchase the clear armour set too. As this is part of the intial batch, you also get an "original" stand, allowing you to pose the completed Gundam 00 and 0 Raiser separately or when combined as the 00 Raiser.

    In other words, I a) spent a load of money and b) had to wait patiently for it all.

    Eventually it all arrived and I was rather surprised at the size of the boxes. I'm used to seeing 1/60 scale Perfect Grade boxes but this one is particularly bulky.

    This is the main box (inside of which are three further boxes; Box A for Gundam 00, Box B for 0 Raiser and a third box for the GN Drives). For scale I added in my 1/144 scale High Grade Gundam Throne Drei box and of course, the Gundam too.


    Side of the box showing the depth/


    The box for the Original Stand is bigger than the 1/144 scale kit box.


    Clear armour part box which is quite large too.



    I'll scan the booklet in later on. You get a information type booklet and a build manual. There is also a build manual with the clear armour set too.

    Contents of Box B, the 0 Raiser kit:


    Two thirds of Box A, the Gundam 00 kit:


    Final third with an overlap from the above picture:


    Contents of the Clear Armour Box:


    Busting out the sprues I made a start! A nervous one at that.


    Huzzah! Eventually I made part of an ankle held by the ever so gracious Vincent (about the same size as Gundam Throne Drei).




    After some time working out what I wanted to use the Clear Armour Parts and what to keep as solid, I progressed to finishing one foot! For scale, I have used Gundam Throne Drei (remember, she is 1/144 scale).



    It's quite a flexible foot too.



    That's it for tonight. I am in no rush in building this kit; it is a joy to take my time, clean the edges, piece it together and then take some silly pictures.

    They still do Zoids? I remember getting one of those when I was a tiny little nipper!

    Nice project - I'll be following this build. How long did it take to build the foot and do you need to understand much Japanese to follow the instructions?

    I like model aeroplanes too and model cars too, I am just utterly LAME at painting so never dipped my foot in that area. That and fantasy/sci-fi stuff is right up my street.

    Need to know ZERO Japanese to follow the instructions. As long as you can follow the pictures in a logical manner, you are more or less sorted.
    The foot took me a few hours last night though I did spend a good 30 minutes looking for the second sprue "U" and then spent a good long chat on the phone with a friend about which bits I am going to do clear and which bits I would do solid...and also ate a pizza and watched some Kamen Rider...all in the space of 4 hours...not forgetting silly pictures with Vincent and Drei. It was nice just taking everything real slow.
    Plan is to do the solid coloured foot tonight and then see how I should build the rest of the model with regards to the clear armour parts.

    I was going to bring in the booklets to work today and scan it in during my tea break but I forgot. Oops. It'll have to wait till Monday now.

    Re: Gundam: 1/60 PG Gundam 00 + 0 Raiser + Clear Armour Build

    Even between the HG 1:100 scale models and the MG 1:100 scale modesl there was quite a big difference in the number of pieces.

    The booklet is fully illustrated IIRC and there is almost no Japanese in it apart when it comes to the decals/stickers but even then it's just matching symbols

    Can't wait to see the finished build!

    Very exciting, do you have an estimated finishing time? Even vaguely - are you expecting it to be weeks or months?

    Re: Gundam: 1/60 PG Gundam 00 + 0 Raiser + Clear Armour Build

    Damn , where did you get all this from? I thought the Clear parts and 2-Way Stand were very limited. How did you get them so late in the game?

    Im looking to get one as well this Summer when I go to HK . Do you know if there is another stand for it? Gundams look so much more bad-ass in flying poses.

    Can't wait til I see this finished. Its gonna be too cool. Don't try too hard though, you will end up with blisters on your fingers.
    Makes me want to finish my MG Exia, still missing legs

    Makes me want to finish my MG Exia, still missing legs
    Whilst I was in Japan back in Oct 09, I spent a good 3 or 4 trips to Akihabara, 1 trip to Kamata and 1 trip to Ikebukuro looking for the a special Gundam to take home. Now I was aware of the 1/60 Scale 00 Kit and when I picked up the flyer for it, I saw the release date was a month or so after I left. Careful speaking to Tee's friend who resides in Japan and some parted monies later meant my order was in. Sort of. Bandai took a couple of months or so dishing out the Clear Armour box, so it wasn't all together until near the end of January and then it was posted to me. and that is how I got it all....not late in the game at all, just took time to get to me. I had other kits to keep me busy; Vincent's Knightmare Frame and I've also got a 1/100 MG Victory Gundam Ver. Ka. to build.

    If you want one, it's still available to buy here, HLJ and they will even sort you out with how to get the Clear Armour set (you need to be a resident of Japan). Stand wise, I'm not too sure when it comes to 1/60 scale! I've seen alot of stands for 1/144 and 1/100 size and in various colours (all whilst in Japan).

    You should finish Exia: is it the Ignition Mode version?

    Englander:
    I have no time scale of when this will be finished...not even vaguely but at a guess, quite possible at least a month at the rate I am going!


    EDIT: I also did an "unboxing" video but that was merely to satiate my friends who were demanding I show them.

    Re: Gundam: 1/60 PG Gundam 00 + 0 Raiser + Clear Armour Build

    Update: Second Foot in Solid Colour is complete.

    Knowing how it comes together the second foot was much quicker to assemble - especially as I had most of the sprues required out with bits already cut out from them!

    Not much else done tonight, so here are some pictures.

    Vincent struggling to hold both feet:


    Drei and Vincent are a little bit scared of the size of the feet:


    Bit of an arty foot show here:


    Comparison shots of the Clear Armour vs Solid Colour:






    Still trying to make up my mind which way I want o go, all clear, partial, mix and match? Choices I got to make now as the next task is assembling the leg units...and that is quite a long bit of the manual.

    Will update again when the legs are finished or I messed it up or something interesting anyway.
