00 Gundam Custom

Okay, I've been meaning to post about this since I got the kit, and now I've finished it and it's time to review.

Contents of the kit.

Overview

The good.

-This kit has great posability, despite not being a Master Grade. A wide range of motion on the Twin drives, feet, legs and the arms.

-All weapons can be stored on its body (blades, sabers and swords), which is a big plus for me 'coz I hate it when they have more weapons than they can carry. Why? 'Coz that means you can't display it with all its weapons at once. But that's just me.

-Weight distribution is great. It never tips over unless you made it to. The feet moves in all directions with swiveling horizontal and vertical joints, plus the typical ball joint where the entire foot assembly attaches to the leg.

All weapons on, no tipping over.

Life's grand.

Wednesday:
I finished my 00 Gundam. Will post in Arxy in a bit.


Friday:
I have a new job (yay!). HR interview went well, Technical lead interview went awesome, and I scored above average on the exam. Cool. Seems I wont be poor this Christmas XD

Saturday:
I went to Megamall to check out the model kit displays. Of course I only took a quick glance on the ships and tanks and planes, and headed for the Gunpla and started chatting with the guys there. One of MechaPinoy's moderators, Michael Tan, welcomed me into the community even before I got to register an account in their forums. He even made a joke about his name being the most common Chinese name in the Philippines. Hehehe.

Sunday:
It's today and I'm still awake and the internet's not failing, so I guess that makes life grand today XD

Good and Bad

Good:
I'm back in Manila for a week now, and

Good:
I'm currently working on my Wing Gundam Ver Ka.


Bad:
I come home to no internet for 3 days and

Bad:
My laptop crashed. I'm still trying to recover it. That's over 3 years of files. Sigh.


That's it for now. Ciao!

Wishlist!

Someone get me all of these and I swear I'll be your bet friend forever. Anyway, I'm heading to Baguio in six hours and I'm killing time now so I can sleep in the bus. So I decided to list down the Gunpla I want to do in the not-so-far future.



What: ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice Gundam (1/100 MG)
Why: Because I always liked the Justice. But that like never turned into really like because, well, it's pink. It outperforms everything else in melee combat. Ground, sky, space, high speed. Decent long range capabilities and holds itself well enough against multiple enemies. But it's so friggin pink! I'm gonna do this kit in ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom's colors. THEN, it'll get the non-pink respect it deserves.




What: GN-008HW/B Seravee Gundam GNHW/B (1/144 HG)
Why: I always thought the Seravee was cool, but didn't look cool. The Virtue looked cool. Now the Seravee looks like the Virtue. Thus, coolness. Only in 1/144 HG, but I don't mind. It looks better with a backpack than a separate Seraphim.




What: O Raiser 1/100
Why: For starters, Because I have a 00 without a Raiser. I was really hoping this kit came with a GN Sword III though.




What: GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam (1/100 MG)
Why: No particular reason. It's Just cool.




What: RX-78GP01 Gundam GP01 (HGUC 1/144)
Why: Because I just recently watched Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, and have been really getting to appreciate more classic, pre-Wing Gundams. And the GP01 tops my list of them.




What: ZGMF-1000 Zaku Warrior Blaze/Gunner (1/100)
Why: What kind of self-respecting gunpla addict wouldn't want a battle damage Zaku? Not me. Why this Zaku particularly, is because it's the most badass of all the Zakus. And it comes with both Blaze Zaku and Gunner Zaku attachments. More weapons for kit bashing. I'll do this in a dark, olive green and black out some parts and nice battle damage and weathering effects.




What: XXXG-01W Wing Gundam Ver.Ka (1/100 MG)
Why: Because it's the best version of one of the most awesome Gundams of all time. And its got a tiny Heero. I'll follow the color scheme religiously and candy finish shiny clear coat.
