RX93 Nu Gundam

Hi gang, it's been a while, lotsa things to do and lotsa stuff to make dateline, but overall I managed to slip in a few building time and this is what I came up with, enjoy

P.s. Not an MC model

Geara Zulu GETTO!!

Not much to be said... It's a cool kit! Let Sarge do the inspection XD

Here's Sarge presenting the new unit.

Oh? Looks like he got a list of it.

Nothing like a good soldier always preparing inventory for new incoming unit.

I just couldn't resist doing it... it's just too cute!

Yeap, for HG... Even Sarge is complaining.

Whoa hey... how the heck did he get my craft knife?

Sarge is all prepped up for this!

Ja na~!

Hobby Base 1/144 Mechanical Hands Review

Ola people!

After further delays of un-assembled mechas and lots of stressful work that I nearly completely forgotten about this old blog of mine(Maybe I should switch to WP instead eh?) I came across one day a support kit that can change the whole life of 1/144 HG kits forever! I first saw it from Gundam Guy and I was totally engrossed by it, took me month to gather information and looking for suppliers, at long last, today our favorite local Hobby shop CH-Toynation, was selling this only stuff and I just closed my eyes and brought it. Without further adieu, here it is.

All the previews at the back

2 Runners, and instruction manual on the back.

Like so. Sarge is inspecting all the material.

Be VERY CAREFUL about this micro joints!

They are very, VERY small and can be easily disappear 

if not handled correctly.

The back of the hand, usual stuff.

These are pegs for the wrist connectors. The longer version,

and the shorter version.

The thumbs, each joints are bendable!

Trying the most famous hand gesture, 

The FacePalm.

Used to be famous hand gesture, falls into second place, 

The Middle Finger.

So this is how it looks like.

Trying a few more, The Reaching hand

Can't resist this one.

And finally Elenor has taken a liking for Sarge...

But Sarge thought differently now.. With those new hands of his...

MC Hi-Nu Gundoom WIP Part 2 Revised

Not much to say around here parts, just that I got so frustrated with the pla-plates (0.3mm) I gave the right forearm another shot.

 So there you have it...I dunno If you can see it that well

plated over the damaged part, then add a few small bits 

of 1mm and a portion of cable tie XD lame idea came the last minute.

MC Hi-Nu Gundoom WIP Part 2 "GOTTA PLATE'EM ALL!!"

A few more stressful work, a few more plates, nuff' said.. Here we go!

adding a few more plates...

Pla-plating is poison...

so here it is, I sawed off the circular peg in the middle and made it into

an "I" shape insertion. for easier disassembling.

Added more plates, so it looks like a power meter for the rifle heheh..

Holes and panel-scribe... Very tedious, but the end product is fun nonetheless

plates on chest... poisonous.. very poisonous...

Need your feedback. Is this a good idea?

more of these too!

Not much on this one... Maybe just a few more jagged edge...

Sweet mercy!! the hands too!!

And there's more!!

So... What do you guys think?

MC Hi-Nu Gundoom WIP Part 1

When the Sarge is done for the entry, I thought I'd give this new... (I dunno whether you wanna call it a bootleg or not, but it looks way cool than the original) kit a chance to shine with a new addition pla-plates and a brand new art/craft knife. After analyzing through and through about the kit, I started out with the shoulder.

Very Tedious job these....

I measured the top angle and the bottom of those middle space

and measure it onto the plate, which is very hard to do, since the plate

does move a lot, especially when you have greasy fingers!

And that's just the shoulder pads!

I'm winging it on those side plates, made sure they were of the right 

rectangular side.

And on that side too... the yellow thing down there is the new art/craft knife,

with a dozen blade spares that can be put inside the yellow canister!

Oh.. rubber grip... I like XD

This is the sword forearm, I kinda wanna do the trapezium shaped,

but thanks to my greasy hands the measurement was F***ed and in the end I 

made it look like stone steps going uphill in a village.. =.='

the scribbling sucks, I pressured that line to make it visible. *mind note* next time, make it subtle!!

This was kinda easy/not easy to make, since I have to scale it down.

And... Last but not least...

Nothing related, this is one of those day when you are having a

 break and crazy thing comes to mind XD XD XD

MC GUNDOOM GETTO~!!

Right guys I'm gonna go straight to the point, After looking at the Gundoom review, I must say I was pretty amazed with the functionality of the parts, with the plastic composite was near to Bandai-grade and its availability in Brunei, I was also sure I was never gonna get it.

To my surprise tonight while I was shopping around at a certain shopping mall to my usual gundam sale spot in Miri, I was shocked as an old woman getting a discount sale at a supermarket. Originally I was there to get some tools and other stuff, but this guy showed up unexpectedly behind a glass panel.

Yup, This guy says it all... 

Eat your heart out GWZ!!!

I hope the detail is correct

If that is not cool, look at the inner box

Thats the funny thing, NOT FOR SALE

All runners are accounted for

Including these bugger that hid well within the box

Lets see how good I can make it as much as the 

manuals.
