Not sure what you mean by boat plates. Both gundams use only various angle
plates stuck together for the outer armor. Probably the only really unusual
parts are the rubber hovercraft skirts used for the black Gundam's wing
thrusters.
As for the vertical design, it emulates skyscrapers,
girder skeleton sheathed in plating rather than a stacked brick structure.
Just taking advantage of what architects learned at the beginning of the
20th century - you can build really big things if you use girders instead of
bricks.
