Yeah, Mark's right, you gotta use yellow. I would also suggest using a L-CAD

Here are some micro-fig Gundam models by Mukoyoushi:

More of Mukoyoushi's models can be seen at Ken Takeuchi's Guest Works (bottom

And Mark Sandlin's awesome Enforcer:

And who can forget the LEGO Purists Gundam, mmm... sweet...:
