Gunpla Worklog: 1/100 Gundam Astraea FA Kai - Update 6
Here is a minor update to the WIP of my 1/100 Gundam Astraea FA Kai project. This week was kinda busy for me so I was not able to make any huge progress. I only got to work on it a little.
As I had mentioned in my last update, I had pretty much finished modifying the core body and now working on the details & accessories. Since mods takes up lot of time to do, I thought it would be wise to sketched some ideas on a print-out and see how it looks before I do the actual mods.
After I drew down a few ideas, I sat back and thought about it.
BOOSTER EXTENSION: Originally I had wanted to add the wing extension to the boosters, but now I've decided to scrape this idea. It just doesn't seem to look all that great, and I don't want to end up with something that look like aile strike / freedom gundam.
WEAPON HOOK LOCK: This idea is still a GO. I want to have a hook at the back of the waist to hold the beam cannon. Again the FA theme requires this Astraea to be fully armed. But I have yet to start this mod.
GN BLADES: As I had previously mentioned that I am a big fan of the 00 Gundam Seven Sword, and adding modified blades to this kit would be awesome. This mod is 85% completed.
LEG BOOSTER: Although I didn't sketch this in the drawing, but I thought this would also be a good addition to the FA theme of the kit. This mod is 70% completed.
Here are a couple of images showing the WIP leg boosters. This mod requires that I saw out a piece of the back leg armor to insert the booster and have the cutout piece to serve as cover of the bootser.
Here is an image of the WIP GN Blades. Yup...is all pla-plates, except for the handle. Will apply epoxy putty soon to fill in the gap & smooth out the surface of the blade body.
I just can't say enough just how I love the look of the 00 Gundam Seven Sword, and I am glad to be able to add the GN Blades to the knee on my own modified Astraea.
Misc images of my kit with the GN Blades attached.
Until next update...

Until next update...Perfect Grade 00 Gundam In Developement!
This has got to be the biggest news today and will be the most discussed topic on most gundam blogs.
I was not surprise at all about this upcoming kit. 00 Gundam is fairly popular in recent months, and similiar to PG Strike Gundam, it will most likely have other accessories (00 Raiser & Seven Sword) that will be issued to take the money right out of our wallets.
I will definitely save up for this one.

A tiny update with an image from this week's Famitsu magazine. Nothing new to report other than noticing an image on the right page where there seems to be a scenerio in an urban setting.
The image display high rise buildings that are pretty detailed and not the usual retangular block of past gundam games. I personally like urban settings scenerio akin to the ones in PSP's Senjou no Kizuna. I hope this scenerio will be a city with lots of dense buildings, allowing lots of places to pop out / hide, and will also avaliable in multiplayer game. Then this game would certainly rock.

1/100 00 Gundam Seven Sword Conversion Kit - NEOGRADE Website Updated
Neograde.com has updated their website with images of the 1/100 00 Gundam Seven Sword Conversion Kit. This conversion kit is currently a pre-order item from NeoGrade (Korea). It is priced at $160.00USD (plus shipping & handling), with a release date of July 22, 09.
This conversion kit requires the 1/100 00 Gundam frame for construction, which is sold seperately.
With the release of the Robot Damashii version of the 00 Gundam Seven Sword, I think most likely I would buy that one instead of paying such a hefty price for this kind of conversion.
