Megahouse - Mobile Suit Gundam - New York City Ruins - 1/144

The MegaHouse Realistic Model Series (RMS) G Structure [GS02M] New York City Ruins (Material Color Edition) is a 1/144 scale diorama base/accessory kit released by MegaHouse in 2022 (with ongoing stock and reissues). It recreates the iconic ruined New York City landscape from the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime — specifically the devastated urban environment during the Zeon invasion in the early episodes (e.g., the "New York City" battle scenes with Zaku landings and destroyed buildings). This "Material Color Edition" is the unpainted/semi-assembled version, designed as an affordable, customizable diorama for 1/144 HG Gunpla models (or similar scale figures).

The kit is semi-assembled (main structure pre-built with some loose parts) and comes in neutral gray/beige tones, allowing full creative freedom for painting/weathering (e.g., add rubble colors, moss, battle damage, or lighting effects) to match your Gunpla scenes.

The assembled diorama measures approximately 190-240 mm (7.5-9.4 inches) width × 155-160 mm (6.1-6.3 inches) height × 145 mm (5.7 inches) depth — providing a substantial yet desk/shelf-friendly scene for multiple models.

Key Features

• Ruined New York Terrain — Detailed cityscape ruins: collapsed buildings, rubble piles, cracked pavement, debris, and urban wreckage — sculpted to evoke the classic "Zaku landing in devastated New York" scene from the anime.
• Material Color Edition — Unpainted/semi-finished in neutral plastic tones for easy customization; perfect for painters or those wanting a unique weathered look (use Tamiya paints, weathering powders, or airbrushing for realism).
• Compatibility — Sized for 1/144 HG Gunpla (e.g., RX-78-2 Gundam, Zaku II, GM, or any 1/144 models); includes flat areas, crevices, and elevated spots for posing multiple suits in battle dioramas.
• Special Marking Decal — Includes waterslide decals for extra details (e.g., caution signs, debris labels, or environmental accents).
• Display Potential — Recreates the dramatic urban battlefield from early Gundam episodes; combine with HGUC Zaku II or RX-78-2 for authentic One Year War scenes.

Included Items

• Main diorama base (semi-assembled rocky/urban ruins structure)
• Loose parts (rubble, debris, building fragments for placement)
• Waterslide decal sheet (special markings)
• Instruction manual (basic assembly/customization guide)

This kit is a fantastic choice for Mobile Suit Gundam diorama builders — its ruined New York recreation adds epic context to classic scenes (e.g., Zaku vs. Gundam in the city). Fans praise the sculpting quality, size, and customization potential (paint/weathering transforms it into a stunning backdrop). Pair it with HGUC RX-78-2, Zaku II, or any 1/144 Gunpla for authentic "Scattered on Jaburo" or early-war urban battles! If you're after the fully painted/pre-finished version, earlier RMS G Structure releases exist, but this Material Color Edition offers full creative freedom
