MSIA: YMS-16M Xamel - Remaster Project

As I begin to work on my HG 1/144 Astraea Type F, I am also simutaneously working on a few other projects as well. One such project is my decision to finally do a remaster work on the MSIA (Mobile Suit In Action) YMS-16M Xamel. The MSIA Xamel is consider a pretty rare figure that was released way back in 2003. At the time, this toy costed me 25USD, but now it cost about 3 times that amount or more.

I really love the Xamel. It was one of my favorite Zeon's grunt long-range artillery unit in the OVA Gundam 0083. Appearing only in a few episodes, but the impression of the mobile suit stayed in my head for a long time, just like the lasting impression the Stark Jegan gave me in Gundam UC Ep.01.

The toy is pretty detail and well made, but now I shall now give it a makeover using pla-plate & new paint. One of the item on the agenda is to remake the head, which I am quite excited about. Update on this later.

A little disappointed about the marking being stickers and not all decals...

HG 1/144 0 Gundam - Completed

Alas... my HG 1/144 0 Gundam is completed.

Not sure if I would have time to make a nifty booklet/WIP documentary for this kit, since I have to deliver this to it's owner by this weekend. Will see if I have time to do all the photoing & composing.

For now, this is perhaps one my favorite shot of the 0 Gundam standing on my display shelf. Hope you enjoy looking at it, as much as I do. (And yes, I actually cut out 2 tiny aurora stickers for the eyes, and that is why they shine. kekeke)

In the meantime, if you are interested in reading the previous WIP for this kit, click HERE.
