AC's are more expensive than Gundam scale models?
Man, I expect them to be a little bit cheaper. Well i think its justified due to the detail of the units and besides...
AC's are a lot more cooler than Gundams.
- J.E_Magog - 05-20-2007
Well it depends on the kit, most Master Grade Gundams still cost more than an average AC kit.
Welcome to the republic Aphosis!
I thought you were a spam bot!
- Aphosis - 05-20-2007
A spam bot? O course not.
Their numbers are increasing lately and they're making a lot of mess. Most of the forum that I joined in has been experiencing the same problem. Their solution is to manually check incoming registrants.
Back to the topic, got a few questions.
1. I want to buy AC scale models and I live in Imus, Cavite. Where's the nearest shop?
2. What is the largest scale of the ACs? I havent seen any of these yet.

Welcome, Aphosis, anyway your first question is.
1. I want to buy AC scale models and I live in Imus, Cavite. Where's the nearest shop?
-Well the shop is in Manila, in SM Megamall, and the other is somewhere in Glorietta, ahhh I don't know, just ask someone.
2. What is the largest scale of the ACs? I havent seen any of these yet
Well only 1/72 AC are only available, and some of them requires paint, better than the Gundam kit.

Hey moonlight! Whats up?
Thanks for the info Jack-O. I'll drop by on those places next week. In the meantime, I'll gather more information regarding this topic.

1. Lil's Futaba in Glorietta 1 is more accesible from your place. Its certainly a helluva lot closer than the one in Megamall's basement. However, they have less kits and equipment sets than the one in Megamall, which has a greater selection of stuff.
2. The largest, smallest and only scale of AC models is 1/72. Although they are 1/72 in scale size, they are just about the same size as a typical 1/100 Gundam kit. Which means that if ACs are a considerably smaller than Gundams.
Hope that answers your questions. Welcome to the Republic, by the way.

I also posted this in HF.
Quote:I think they're actually in the 12-13m range, about the same size as a Valkyrie.
I estimated how tall they would be and tried to compare them with other 1/72 scale kits. The calculations are inaccurate but i think they're close enough.
1/72 model------------------------------centimeters(1/72)-----feet------ meters
AC Rayleonard AALIYAH---------------------14.5----------------33.84------10.31
AC CR-C90U3 Dual Face---------------------16.6----------------38---------11.6

Something wholesome that came from 4chan. Yep.
It's a dvd rip: "A collection of plastic model building videos from the pros. The majority being Gundam models. **no subtitles** re-torrent from like 2 years ago, happened to find it on a old dvd."
Enjoy. Dunno if there are seeders though.
