White Ogre WIP

I’ve assembled and detailed up to the right leg. This is the second MG Zaku II I’ve built and I’m enjoying this one. Once the assembly is complete, I’ll clean up the detailing and apply the decals.

This is my work in progress photo of the MG MS-06J Zaku II “White Ogre” version. It’s hard to see them but did you notice the panel lines? One of my friends on Flickr is a gentleman by the name of Franklin Andrade who also builds Gundam models as well. You can see some of [...]

Out with the Old

Out with the Old

Here’s something I don’t do everyday. The boxes are from Gunpla that I already assembled. I keep a closet of the models I plan on building as well as the instructions and spare parts from the models I have already put together. Below is my current list of unassembled models. I used HobbyLink Japan for [...]

Completed the MG Gouf v2.0

Completed the MG Gouf v2.0

This was a very straight forward m0del to assemble. No trouble at all and the articulation is very good. With earlier Master Grade models, there was frequently a gotcha. But with these more current versions, it’s all straight forward. I usually do one or two back to back and the next model I have lined [...]

MG Gouf 2.0 WIP

It’s official. The MG Gouf version 2.0 is awesome. There have been hardly any surprises and I can’t find anything that demands gluing. Tomorrow I’ll complete the back pack cables and start the arms.

Starting the MG Gouf 2.0

Starting the MG Gouf 2.0

I’ve started building the 1/100 MG Gouf 2.0. So far so good, once again I am trying to slim down on my Gunpla stash. I’ve only completed the first 2 parts (torso and head) but it’s a very different model than the original MG Gouf. As I usually do, I’ll post photos once it’s done.

HG Cherudim completed

HG Cherudim completed

All done.  The weight of this GNHW/R version demands a stand but for now I’ll just leave it standing. Next one up is something completely different. I purchased the HG D-50C Loto twin set for my son, so to be fair I got two Hoi-Hoi san models for my girl. I’ll work on one of [...]

Almost completed my next HG

I started the HG 1/144 HG Cherudim Gundam GNHW/R a few days ago and it’s a quick build. Like most (all?) of the newer HG models, the detail is good and easy going. I’ll post completed pictures when it’s done.

Completed MG Gundam Exia

Completed MG Gundam Exia

Gundam RX-78-2? Meet Gundam Exia. That was a tough model to assemble. I started this model August 23rd and I just couldn’t really make the time to put it together. When I assembled the MG Char’s Zaku 2.0 I had less trouble. The MG Exia is finicky and it’s flexibility is what makes it tough [...]
