The Real Grade kit has to have a pilot and the RX-78-2 Gundam comes with a tiny figure of Amuro Ray. So i made my own Mobile Suit Pilot and Federation Officer from some Preiser 1/144 figure ive collected. Think the pilot is from the NATO crew set and the officer from the airliner set.
Really enjoyed painting these up, look really good when there next to the GM WiP, in the photo there about 5 times larger than what they actually are and i can see what could be improved but just too damn difficult to do at this scale for me.
Got to get me some Zeon figures now and Preiser really need to release some more 1/144 figures, there the best that available in the scale but really there is a really lack of choice, some WW2 Luftwaffe and RAF crew and pilots would be superb.

Stunning work! Your hands must be real steady.
i guess they must b 1/3 smaller than the minifigures that come with the MG kits & they’re tiny... man u r terrific !!!... i remember as well the figures that come with other kits, specially the Magella attack & those mechas of the Gundam spaceships kits... oh & i have a kit from Aura Battler Dunbine with tiny mechas as well, but i don’t think into paint them =/
Thank you.
There damn tiny all right and i dman pround of them.
Chris, you got the bandai ex Megella attack? jealous, been wanting that kit for years.
yep Ant, the Magella attack is a beautiful kit with lot of detail (myb too much XD), but i’m afraid that my skills r not good enough to paint it soon... i have the White Base (that requires lot of paint), the Albion (with extra-finish) & the Meteor Unit (1:400 scale) as well... i really love sci-fi vehicles =)
