Bandai RG RX-78-2 Gundam - WIP 03

Other progress are delayed but I managed to take these photos way before my Lumix went out to the seas (take care!). This is just the assembly of the armaments and core fighter of my RG RX-78-2.

Beam rifle is pretty with the black - white color scheme. This is one of the few changes the RG version has


Again, not paying attention to detail, I almost snapped the Hyper Bazooka's handle because I forced it in during assembly. Good thing it didn't break and the chip from the grind were managed by sanding. Stress mark though looks awful :(


Shield has no problems when assembling and the two shades of red give a little more excitement


Core fighter is SWEET! Decal application on this guy is one hell of a job but I managed anyways LOL



An update on my hauls - I've sold my MG Quan[T] w/ LED so you probably won't seeing a Setsuna MS here anytime soon. I have decided that MG's are not my thing anymore (not closing the doors on that line though) since assembling those beasts are a bit stressful on my lifestyle. Focused solely on 1/144 scale HG and RG scale for its vast collection of released MS's. Probably next year I'll start collecting the MG Endless Waltz series for memories of Wing has what started GunPla for me. The kits look awesome while not being too fancy so I think assembly of those would be a breeze.

Oh, I was able to snag a rare kind at a local shop - SD Zeta and SD Nu Gundam bundle. I was surprised that it was NOT overpriced as the other kits laying around and what made me buy it in a heartbeat was that it came with decals. COOL!

QY SD Shining Gundam - Mini WIP, Assembly Cure and Review

It has been a while since the last time I blogged. Reality bites and I have to focus on the "more important things in life." Work, girlfriend, and of course going outdoors - a much needed "distraction" to regain my appetite for GunPla. In all honesty my interest has gone downhill and the promised TT Hongli MG Sinanju is nothing more of a plan than a work-to-be-done. There will always be the GunPla itch so I picked this teeneeweenee SD that caught my eye. Welcome to the club, Shining Gundam!! To start off, the box. Runners - 5 in total along with the polycaps Issue 01: See the yellow fin attached to the head? Don't force to plug it in. You'll only damage the plastic. Shave off the little opening to fully accommodate the fin. Repeat it on the other side. Issue 02: The usual suspect in QY kits. What I did was shave the male connectors with my hobby knife. Head done! Notice I used the foil stickers. It's not that I was too lazy to paint the eyes, b...

Bandai SD Zeta Karaba Assault - WIP 01

Coming from a competition really fired my GN Drives up! I am now onto my 1st WIP of 2012, SD Zeta! This 2-pack kit was actually bought before I even knew about the GFP competition. But G-SHOT and the 1/144 Challenge came along and the fun and excitement was too hard to pass up! I initially thought of doing Zeta in its accurate colors. Watching Gundam AGE really blew me and I fell in love with white MS's particularly seeing how the G-EXES pawns the UE. Right then and there I decided to try something different, something that I've never tried before (well, sort of). BTW, if you've never encountered the Zeta Karaba Assault it sorta looks like this ~ It is a limited edition color scheme of the MG Zeta V2. The Karaba Assault was piloted by the White Unicorn AKA Amuro Ray. (Photo above is NOT mine. Thank you GundamPH for the reference. Visit his site too. There are a lot of GunPla, mech, and other anime-related cool stuff there to see) Upon straight building this dude, I ...

Bandai RG Aile Strike - Review

The day has come to review my most adored kit! The first time I saw Aile Strike, I just knew its mech design is very special. Having the RG treatment really kicked off the old MG in terms of articulation and detail. Let's have a look at Strike and his cool equipment! Yes! Yes! YES! Aggressive curves, sharp angles, and a mean looking head. Zaft should be afraid. Be very very afraid! Add an aggressive looking booster pack to an already aggressive looking Mobile Suit and you get a masterpiece design! It's so...... AGGRESSIVE! Accessories Reanimating Strike's first action. A punch to a puny Ginn! PG? No. RG! Schneider really bumps up the agility of Strike. My weapon of choice. ...YEAH! O_O Signature pose My favorite shot from my photo session Pew pew pew Sword GET-O! 死ぬ Ore wa Gundam! (Whoops wrong series..) ...
