unboxing video

TMF/A-803 LaGOWE

Got it today in the mail. Can't wait to put it together.

Gundam Harute [flight mode]

It is completed. The build was better than I expected; the flight mode doesn't feel flimsy as other reviewers have pointed out. Just remember that this is NOT an action figure, it is a poseable model. Basically not a toy, but a figure.
This model does a much better job at concealing the "mobile suit" mode while in flight mode compared to others suits (Wing Gundam).
And all the weapons can be attached to the flight mode, which makes it awesome. Overall: great job on the flight mode.
Next I'll review the mobile suit mode.

Harute preview

60% done in Harute's construction.

MG Sandrock [EW]

The kit is finally completed. I finished the assembly earlier this week. I am impressed by the design of this kit. It closely resembles the Sandrock custom, but with its ''original'' colours, and no cloak device.
In addition to the shield and heat shottels, we are given a machine gun that stores in the back, as well as in the shield. The shield and shottels can recreated the ''Cross Crusher" by pegging the shottels under the shield (without using the backpack). The engineering of the shield allows for the shottels to open and close, which is a great bonus.
And speaking of bonus, we are given a second set of blades that resemble the blades heated up (hence the "heat" shottels).
Sandrock was always one of my favorite gundams so I am glad we finally got the chance to get a Master Grade.

Construction progress

XXXG-01W Frame completed

This is the first MG that I have built in about 10 years. I am very impressed in how far the technology has come. The inner frame is great, it has amazing articulation, it is very poseable, and it is easy to build. I can't wait to finish it!

Exia revived

I must have gotten this HG Exia about 4 years ago. This was the first Gundam model I got after my long break from modeling. Since then I have learned various techniques to improve the look of my models.

On the picture above, I have discovered how to add GN particles (green shinny piece on chest) to my Gundam 00 models. This detail is what defines Gundam 00 models, and without it the model would not be complete.

Originally I had only used the black stickers that came with the model. What I have done to improve is, was to remove the clear piece, paint the black sticker with a "special" paint I found at Michael's [I don't know why anyone else has not picked up on this special paint yet]. The next step was to paint the clear piece with Tomiya clear green [common technique]. Both of these paints make the result above [but I'll keep that secret with me for now].
