Bandai HG 00 Raiser Condenser Type - WIP 02

Done snap-fitting the kit. I've already sent my entry to G-SHOT and hopefully win :)
...Or not. The competition served as a much needed motivation to do well with pretty much everything. From carefully cutting each piece from the runners to cleaning the nub marks with precision, all is well and good for a straight build.

Picking where I left off - the GN Condensers in which the 00 Raiser in the movie Awakening of The Trailblazer is equipped instead of GN Drives. Watch the movie if you want to know why :p


Fitting it to the 00 Gundam was solid


Ah yes, my favorite weapon of the Exia / 00 is its arm blade - the GN Sword III


Here's with the effect part attached


Ugliest weapons I've seen in a lead Gundam - 00 SPATULAS!


0 Raiser


 Completely forgot to take WIP photos of its wings so..... 00 Raiser COMPLETE!



That's it. Everything is rock solid except for the shield binders attached to the wings of the 0 Raiser. It's not that bad though since it fits fine. I just wish it would have that "pachink" sound when clipped.

Overall, I really love the design and has been planning to get a hold of its MG. It is one of my favorite designs and has that GUNDAM (Ore wa.....) look and feel to it. This is (for me anyways) a Gundam! Ne, Setsuna?

Review would be postponed since this kit has a few visible nub marks. G-SHOT forbids to apply top coat in the straight build cat so this is still incomplete (for my standards anyways). This will also be my entry in the friendly HG 1/144 build off with my Gundam Fans na Pinoy (GFP) brothers. Will commence painting as soon as I've bought the necessary spray cans. Ran out of primer and white which sucks big time. I hope I can finish everything before new year so I can have a fresh start at 2012! SD Zeta please hold on for a little bit longer >.< 
Oh, and good luck to my fellow GunPla meisters with their builds! I saw a couple of monster mod in the works and I have been enjoying my time looking their WIP's (which obviously diminishes my chances of winning bwahahaha). Have fun everyone!

~Happy holidays

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 ...

TT Hongli MG 1/100 Exia Ignition Mode - Review

Assembling bootleg kits can be a pain at times but this MG Exia Ignition Mode was a breeze. I was surprised from the fact that 90% went well and the other 10% were minor fixes - from shaving male connectors to gluing parts. I really enjoyed assembling my first Master Grade (I was hoping it was Bandai, my wallet was not cooperating as expected lol). Action! G...Gu...Gundaaaaaam!!!!!!!!!!! GUUUUNDAAAAMU!!! Ore wa........... Ore Wa Gundam-da!! Exia exterminating target............... Graham: Ike, Setsuna! Live and unlock the future! More swords Setsuna? Target exterminated! Joining the bunch :D Pros: Assembling is pretty easy for a bootleg Build is sturdy It came with LEDs! Cons: Joints are too stiff (for my liking, anyways, it made the kit solid though) Swords at his wait does not fit the peg in the hand Exia Repair parts does need half of the non-Repair head. (didn't bother with the transformation) The Exia Ignition Mode is a must have! I'm really g...
