Looks awesome, but how tall are they? I'm assuming that the 1/144 denotes a size between Deluxe and Voyager?

Gundam kits are scaled. So 1/144 means that the model is 1/144th the size of the "real" thing.

1/144 scale kits average around 5" tall, so slightly smaller than the average Deluxe TF.

Yeah, scale models of something that only exists as scale models. Doesn't make much sense really, but thanks. At 5" they're not going to be big enough for my display, though they should fit quite nicely with a classics collection.

Hey guys thanks for the comments
Jaicen. They'll stand about 5.75 inches. I've included a pic with some of my wreckers...kind of collapsing time from various members but will give you a sense of scale with other TFs.
bcm77, mx is right. they're about 10-15 and are pretty readily available.

So the shoulder joint needs a little work. and the gun holster on the back is a little tight needs adjusting slightly. Overall, I'm quite pleased with how he came together.
Got a couple questions.
1) should I make a storage area on the back for the hands when not connected?
and if I do do that, should I make a storage area for the hammer and anvil?
2) what do you guys think of the heads? I'm not entirely sold on them. I think I wan to adjust them slightly.
3) the center chest piece off the model kit? should I create something else to fit in there? looks a little plain to me.

Thanks again for checking these dudes out

IMO chest is fine, heads look slightly off....the gundam caps seem alittle small in relation to the black part, storage for the hands yes but i think that storage for the anvil and hammer might be to big and bulky off the back. Having said that maybe some kind of double c clip to connect to the wrist area of either or and then clip to the back area under the hand storage or to the middle section between them? just a thought
