I love the Wing series and the 008th MS Team. I would be interested in possibly building a helm just for kicks.

Well, Jay, if you multiply the height by 3.4, you get the number of feet, and then you divide that by your height in feet for scale.
Anyway, that reminds me, a couple weeks ago, I got RG 1/144 RX-78-2, and, despite some joint issues (those buggers are tight and pop out before they bend), it's pretty awesome. Only other complaint is the poorly-designed hands. They fall apart, and they can't hold anything.
By the by, one of my favorite lines in all of Gundam:
"Unit three-oh-one, fire!"
-Eledore Mathis
I refuse to accept Massis as his name.
And, is it just me, or does the Guntank pilot call Karen "Gee-Em head"? I mean, shouldn't it be pronounced "Jim"?
Finally, I found the sound effect for the UC-era Beam Rifle.

Yep, he says straight out "Gee-Em Head." Some Pilots in the series do say things like "Jim team [insert number], Heading out!"
"GM" is short for Gundam Massproduction Projects.
And remember that pilot was 86'd by Norris.
That would be one epic sound if somebody Peps the rifle. Don't think you could find the sound clip for the 100mm machine Rifle?
Hmm, man I wish Nin. Didn't leave.

Luckily, I have contact info for Nin. I even know where the guy lives. I'll talk to him.
But, if he can't find it, I can always try and clean it up from the show. Even if that doesn't work, I'm sure generic machine cannon sound would work. Main thing is, the UC Beam Rifle is so distinctive in sound.
That said, I was gonna make a Type-37 100mm Machine Cannon for my -79[G] cosplay. Also, the 180.
RGM-79 GM - Gundam Mass Production Type
RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type
Oddly, they're essentially the same machine, but one far outperforms the other.
And, it's officially pronounced "Jim"

That is the type-37. aha!
The GM is a severe cost-cutter.
The Ground Combat is made of spare parts thats were intended for the Gundam. Feddies were surprised at it's output and Combat ability. So they threw it on the Frontlines, intended for special teams only though. I like the Desert and Cold Climate versions myself. They look like they have clothes on under their armor. Yea, I like my Mechanics Manuals.
I found him on FB and tried to add him, but I have to get a reply. MY avatar is the same.

Could've sworn I'd posted a reply in this thread near the beginning (or maybe another similar thread I'm thinking of, lol), but anyway...
Been a Gundam fan for a pretty long time, ever since I first got into Anime back in high school. Watched a few of the series (Wing, Seed), but like others here I'd have to say my fave is 08th MS Team. I think the RX-79-G Ground Type Gundam is just the kewlest, heh.
I think it's a perfect mix of in-the-field durability/functionality and still looks bad-@$$.
That's the one I'd love to Pep and scale to my size as a wearable costume. Some of my like-minded Anime friends would flip out if they saw something like that, lol.

I'm trying to get the model I have of it broken up and unfolded.
While the GM is a cost-cutter, it wasn't a prototype, and by real-world logic, should have functioned better than the Gundam prototypes, being as it was produced with the kinks worked out. But, the Gundam Ground Type was essentially a prototype, made of a GM[G] frame with Gundam components.
Note its similarities to:
The only differences are the slightly modified legs, cod, and the upper chest and head.
This leads me to believe the Gundam [G] was made from the frame of a GM[G], using leftover mechanical parts - servos, reactor backups, sensors, and what have you - from the Project V Gundam. More expensive, more specialized, but more effective than a GM[G] or a GM, but less capable of combat than the RX-78 Gundam series, due to being cheaper to build than the prototypes.
In the end, the GM[G] and Gundam [G] were considered too costly to justify the modest increase in overall efficacy over the stock GM. After the One Year War, they were mostly decommissioned and scrapped, in favor of the GM. Later, even that would be outmoded, as the design of mobile suits shifted from bulky, armored monocoque-frame machines, to lighter-weight movable-frame suits. The shining examples of this are the ReZel and the ReGZ.
Back to the -79[G], I, too, thought the Desert Ops equip was cool. Shows they were thinking about operation in harsh environments when they designed the machine.

You nailed it!
My favorite out of the GM series would have be the GM Cannon II, and GM Sniper II.
I liked the Armor setup on the Cannon and the visor that the Sniper II used.
Or was it the Forearm mounted beam sabre the Cannon II had. Oh so many options.
Well I have 5 MG kits sitting off to the side until I complete my suit.

I like the GM Sniper II, with its visor. I just love mecha with sensor goggles. Koenig Wolf's my favorite Zoid. Only such mech I don't like with a visor is Dynames, because 00 sucked.
Personally, my favorite GM is the GM Quel, I guess, just because I use it soooo often when I'm doing a color job.
If I'm lucky, for Christmas, I'll be getting 4 MGs.

Wow, I figured you to be a 00 fan.
Ofcourse I only liked the MP suits, the gundams were just too much... You would really like the site I order from if you want the addy just PM me. They've got great prices.
Zaku 2 F2 with a full Weapons load out. Now thats a monster mech in the right hands.
My Zoid was either B.Liger or Gogalas GIGA. those're my two fav's.
You should seriously check out my FB.

No, no, I hate Wing and 00. SEED and Destiny were watchable. G was for teh lulz, and I never actually watched Gundam X. I'm a UC guy, through and through.
I like the MP Suits a whole lot, but I do like the Gundams. Just not the pilots, usually. (Save Shiro, and Amuro... Char, I guess, counts as a protagonist, sometimes)
RX-79[G] with its T-37 and beam rifle. Not the most maneuverable, nor the most powerful, but the only one using real, trained pilots.
Alternatively, my franken-gundam, the RX-79:
Reminds me, I have a Blade Liger Black Impact model. It's rare as hell and even more awesome than that. Still, I love my Koenig.
Doesn't yellow look amazing on grey?

Green B. Liger, And lightning Blue Gogalus Giga.
I like How you used the Alex's legs. They can Skate like a Doms.

My reasoning was just that they have big thrusters, and look to weigh more than the old -79[G]'s, meaning better control in space, through thrust and AMBAC.

Well, it's broken, it's compiled to 3DS, and it's zipped.
That said, most of the files crash Pepakura. T_T

Ah, bugger. That's too bad, as that would be the perfect one (for me, anyway). Let me know if you're ever able to get the files working properly and imported to Pepakura. Btw, sorta on the same subject, I'm really diggin' your RX-79-S "Franken-gundam". Nice upgrade

To clarify, it's called the RX-79 Gundam Mass-Production Type
I just called it a Franken-Gundam because I stitched NT-1 ALEX, -79[G], and GM C together, a la Frankenstein. I also did something similar with Freedom and Providence. I typically don't do it because I don't like the results. This is one of the better ones I've done.
But, coloring stuff like that is a hobby of mine. I have a massive amount of them. I'm actually gonna count them, now that I think of it. Gundams, Valkyries, even a couple one-offs from various other.
In somewhat related news, I think I'm getting another MG RX-79[G] (GOD I HOPE SO) for Christmas. If I do, I'm going to extensively modify it so I can actually pose it. Don't expect any added detail, though. I am NOT Hajime Katoki.

Wonder if they'll come out with a referb to that line, like the Zaku II 2.0 series.
Thinking about putting up a few of my Kits for Auction. To help with the Upgrade of the site.
I did just Finish a Wicked looking 00 Raiser. But alas you don't like 00. I've got a Gouf 2.0 with an Add-on I'll be doing. IT's called the 08 Gouf Shark. Really wicked looking MG.

I may eventually (AFTER GETTING THE REST) get a PG 00 Raiser, just because I love PGs.
I think, for Christmas, I'm getting a Titans MkII Ver2.0, as well, and that brings me to my point: the RX-79[G] is well overdue for some Ver2.0 lovin', as well as a PG kit.
For that matter, why is there no PG GM?
