One of the kit that I was eager to get my hands on was the Dengeki Hobby (Jan. Issue) that came with the 1/48 Unicorn Gundam Head Display Base. On many japan hobbist sites, I found a lot of different variation as to how they paint / mod them.
I will be a bit more agressive with this one, I plan to make the entire upper torso & shoulder (without the arms), and to expose inner components. Well... this is easy to say on paper, but will be a challange to execute. We will see how it goes.
Other kits I picked up was the HG 1/44 Masurao. Eventhough I was pretty harsh bashing on Mr. Bushido and his MSs. But after seeing Lupes (Seen Here) built his, I was captivated. I found the color combination of the kit very nice, and the different ways to pose the kit is just awesome. It would definitely look well standing next to my 00 Raiser, if and when I get the time to build them.Other kits I got was the HG 1/144 Jegan & the HG 1/144 Gundam TR-1 (Advanced Hazel). The Hazel was a kit that was very hard to find locally, but finally found it at a great price at a local vendor (Thanks to Robot4Less).
So just like everyone else who has been posting about their upcoming projects, well here is mine in order:
(1) HG 0 Gundam (85% Completed)
(2) HG Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn Mode) vs. HG Kshatriya Diorama (10% Completed)
(3) Dengeki Hobby 1/148 Unicorn Gundam Head Display Base w/ Upper Torso Mods
(4) HG Geara Zulu
(5) HG Jegan
Afterwards.... I will try to complete the rest of my WIPs... namely the 1/100 Astrea FA Kai (which is currently stuck in limbo, due to all the great Gundam UC kits that I want to build right now).
uh oh! that backlog is getting a bit longer! thats a pretty ambitious project with the Unicorn base! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAnd you got the A.Hazel too! wow! Now we have two common projects! 3 if you include the GN-X.
Good luck friend. I plan on kicking my build process up a notch in the next coming weeks. First thing is getting the damn things built and off the runners. Still have 5 left in their boxes!
Thanks for the link man :D Those are really good grabs!! I nearly wanted to get masurao but looking at my backlog I say get it later when I am done with more of my projects.
ReplyDeleteMy own Astray Red frame is sharing is similar fate with your FA Kai ^^ I am gonna finish up my seravee first before touching on new stuff!!
The common thing with modellers so many ideas yet so little time!! hence our big pile of backlogs haha. Happy building man :D
There's quite a number of tasks to keep you busy pal! Great taste of Gunpla on U.C MS from Unicorn Gundam, Jegan to Gundam TR-1.
ReplyDeleteI am strictly an MG guy. This is a good thing considering the pace at which I am going through MGs at this time. What would I do if I had HGUCs to build as well?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Unicorn head/torso. I think I saw some pictures of a similar project in a recent Dengeki Hobby.
dude, i was checking my garage and i have 2 unbuild hazel... u should of ask me first
ReplyDelete@BB: Yeah I plan to kick it up a notch too. Lets do it!! I still eagerly awaits to see your skill weilding your new airbrush. I can already imagine your new MG IJ now.
ReplyDelete@CB: The Masurao is definitely a guilty pleasure for me. I agree about modellers having too much ideas and not enough time, and alway want to buillt the newest kit. HAHA Can't wait to see your modded Saravee.
@Dennis: Thanks. I will have to juggle my time for all these kits. Which I think will be hard to do...
@GaiGun: I am still meserized by your current pace. And I hope your wife is doing okay now.
@Richard: Well, I got one of my Hazel for free, and the other one for the Yen amount printed on the box. I think I got a pretty good deal. What outstanding kits do you have that you want to give away?
