Dengeki Hobby August Issue & Others

Several scans from the August issue of Dengeki Hobby:

dengekihobby_8_00_s
Looks like Dengeki Hobby is publishing its own compilation of Gundam Unicorn models a month after Hobby Japan.

MG Sazabi Metallic Coating Version done by Einosuke the First Hino. If you don't know this already, Hino is the winner of the first Dengeki King of Gundam Modelers Tournament many many years ago. His winning entry was Hyaku Shiki modified from PG RX-78-2. As you can probably guess, his specialty is painting Gunplas in metallic colors.

Angelo Sauper's Customized Geara Zulu done by another master modeler, Nobuyuki Sakurai. Sakurai is famous for his Macross models.

Another awesome scratch built Sinanju. How long does Bandai plan to keep us waiting for the MG version of this Zeon mecha? ^^;

No way is Dengeki Hobby missing out in this period of frenzy over Shin Musha. This particular one is done by Takeshii Hitokabe.

Another favorite model of mine at the moment - Kotobukiya's 1/72 HMM Saber Tiger ^^

Also, more images of a few Gundam merchandises mentioned in the past:

HCM-Pro E.F.G.F. 08 Team Vs. Zeon Set

If an average HCM-Pro figure is 9cm tall, then the Hovertruck should be about 2cm tall? Being small is one thing, but having all those details is almost unbelievable O_O

HCM-Pro RX-78-2 Gundam Jaburo Defensive Battle

Another option for you if you're planning in getting a HCM-Pro Gundam. The box art certainly looks much cooler than all the previous versions. ^^

For those who are not familiar with SEED MSV mecha, the Gundam in the middle of second row above is ZGMF-X11A Regenerate Gundam from SEED Astray R.
The ability to swap parts between the different types is the special feature of the series.
