Final Loot of 2010!

26 12 2010

2010 is drawing to a close with Christmas just gone.

And to wrap up the year, I got a kit. And what kit could be better than Setsuna’s lead MS in the movie Gundam 00 A Wakening of the Trailblazer. :D

SD 00 Qan[T]

I was at Popular getting stationery and books and my mu m had the 20% voucher so I decided to get this as a final kit of the year.

There was also the HG Beacguy, HGAW Gundam X Divider and SD Gurenou SouSou + Tengokugai which I wanted but I only got this as I wanted to save up for other stuff next year. ^^

4 runners including the one for the stand, 1 polycap tree, instruction manual and box art

The clear green pieces look really good such as the central piece on the chest with the 00Q writing on it and the eyes too. However, there are only four green pieces for the GN Sword Bits with two of them being joint  I think.

The display stand is also really nice. ^^

For this month, I’ve being doing lots of kits but most of them aren’t completed yet. Hopefully, I complete them being school starts. xD
That’s all for this post.

Till the next post!

Stay Tuned!

BMKWC Singapore 2010 Entry – Completed

20 11 2010

So after weeks and months of planning and working, I’ve finally completed the entry for the Bandai Model Kit World Cup Singapore 2010.

I was rushing this thing out like many others as the deadline drew nearer but fortunately, the deadline was extended by 10 days so I could work a little slower. :D

I’ve submitted the entry already and I hope I would make it to the final round of judging at Takashimaya and hopefully improve on my Merit prize during the Mid Year Competition.

Well, let the pictures do the talking. :D

 

That’s all for the pictures.

Well, this is my last time participating in the Junior Category so hope I’ll be able to get 3rd or something though it’s impossible I think.

After so much talking I haven’t said the name of my entry yet. It sounds cool but weird too. It is: Re-Battle! Ribbons Vs. Setsuna

I remember saying about participating in the group category with turbytoddler but I guess we both forgotten all about it. xD

Anyways, I’ll be waiting for the results and make sure you guys all go down to take a look at all the entries during the final round of judging at Takashimaya B2. :D

With this done, I can finally start on my other projects and also the holiday homework. ^^

That’s all for this post.

Till the next post!

HG 1.5 Gundam/RA Ribbons Almark Custom – Completed

10 11 2010

 

Continuing with the BMKWC, I’ve completed the other model of my entry which is the custom 1.5 gundam.

Well, I created a story on how this suit came along. Basically, another Ribbons clone implanted with the memory of  Ribbons was created and he is the pilot of this guy. The suit is a hybrid of the 1 Gundam, 1.5 Gundam, Reborns Gundam and Reborns Gundam Origin. It’s also painted with red to suit Ribbons. I felt the colour scheme still had something missing but I still decided to go with the red and grey.

 Moving on to the kit.

Front View

Back View

I added another two binders to the backpack and it looks kinda like Reborns GN Large Fin Fangs.

The GN Fang Rifles are the main weapons of this 1.5. I modded the fangs on to the GN Buster Rifle of this weapon but the putty on the fangs is kind of an eyesore.

The GN Fin Fangs can also be shot out of the Rifle and function like how they were in Reborns.

When the GN Fin Fangs are being shot out, the Rifles would then function as Large GN Beam Pistols for rapid fire. ^^

The Small GN Fin Fangs are mounted on the side skirts. They can also be shot out or also be used like the Xiphias rail cannons in Strike Freedom. I feel that it’s kinda short so maybe some pla plating to make it longer may make it look better.

High Speed Mode of the 1.5 Gundam Binders. Looks kinda like Force Silhouette.

Full Blast Mode ^^

Freedom ain’t the only guy who can beam spam. :D

Well, that’s for for this guy. With so many weapons, I feel that the 7 Swords might lose out to it so I added the 0 Raiser and GN Sword III to it after seeing success with other moddlers doing it. Both of them are currently undergoing the weathering process and should be done tomorrow. As for the base all that’s left is painting it with different types of grey with spray cans. :D

The diorama will be done on Friday and will be posted here too.

Till the next post!

HG 00 Gundam 7 Sword/G Inspection Ver. – Completed

28 10 2010

It’s been a while since I last posted and now that exam and school is over, it’s time to go into the Gunpla mode. :D

I decided to complete some of my backlogs first before continuing on my BMKWC entry and I realised that I was running out of time so I decided to work on the entry first.

The 00 7 Swords is one of the kits that will be part of the entry for the BMKWC. I repainted it to the red colour scheme to make it look like the Inspection Version.

I remember that around half a year ago when I posted my first 7 Swords, I didn’t take pictures for most of the weapons and promised a full one but never had time to do that so I’ll use this to show you guys instead.

The GN Sword II Blaster is a cool looking weapon. Jus a simple rifle with a GN Condenser material blade with it sure adds a nice touch to the weapon. :D

The massive GN Buster Sword II is sure one of my favourite melee weapon in the Gundam Universe third only to the Tactical Arms and GN Katars. Not only being able to act as a sword and a shield, it can also generate a GN Field while attached to the left GN Drive of the 00.

The original GN Sword IIs have now been changed to the Long and Short verisons respectively.  The GN Sword II Long has both the sword and rifle mode though it still looks rather flat like the original. THe GN Sword II Short is a replacement for the GN Beam Dagger which was used by the Exia and has a wire which allows the tip to be retracted and shot whenever needed thus saving cost. ^^

The GN Katars is definitely my favourite weapon in this whole MS. Attaced with GN Condenser material as the blades it sures packs a punch in melee combat which is Setsuna’s forte as his suits always has swords. The GN Katar is also the prototype for other GN Sword designs like the GN Sword III and GN Sword Kai.

I’ll be continuing on my 10% done 1.5 Gundam Ribbons Custom for the entry and hopefully complete it by next Sunday before doing up the diorama. Hope I can finish and submit it on time. :D

Well, that’s all for this post.

Till the next post!

Gundam 00 A Wakening of the Trailblazer – Thoughts

18 09 2010

image

I went to watch the movie at Alliance Franciase Theatre this afternoon and I was really satisfied in the movie though I felt some parts were pretty lame and dissapointing. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros:

-Some of the scenes were humourous and entertaining.

-Zabanya was really cool with its random fire with the GN Rifle Bits (sort of a dragoon effect)

-Harute didn’t fail to impress being my favourtie suit out of the four.

-Raphael made an impressive appearance saving Setsuna from those ELS.

-Graham in his Brave was really brave helping Setsuna out so that Setsuna could enter the dialogue.

-Raphael’s backpack is a Gundam as expected.

-00 Quanta’s GN Buster Sword used as Raiser Sword was quite cool.

-00 Raiser made an appearance with GN Condensers but was sort of owned by ELS.

-Both the Brave and GN-X IV cab go Trans-Am.

-The ELS can take the shape of practically anything.

-Dynames also made an appearance saving Alleujah from the ELS.

-Billy’s new girlfriend is cute and sort of forcing herself on Billy.

-Milenia reveals her affection for Tieria though Tieria seems to be indifferent.

-Gadelaza is quite impressive with those GN Fangs.

-Patirck almost died but lucky saved by Setsuna allowing him to save his reputation as “Immortal Colasour”.

-Setsuna’s customised GN Flag wad impressive by defeating some GN-X IVs.

-The Quantum System of the 00 Quanta is quite cool with the whole suit going green.

-The opening theme was great which is Closed World by The Back Horn.

-Overall, the plot was cool with fighting for peace as the main idea.

Despite so many pros there are many cons too

Cons:

-The first part was really draggy with things mainly on the politics.

-The second part is too quick which wad rushed in with “A few days later”. They could have showed the preparations for the battle against the ELS.

-Many people died.

-Graham died.

-Andrei died. I wanted him to die in Season 2 but after that I didn’t want him too after seeing him say wanting to continue his parents which is Sergei on saving mankind.

-Saji doesn’t really do anything in the movie.

-I wanted Lasse to join the final battle by piloing Dynames but all he did was stay on the ship.

-Decartes Shamen was sort of an extra in the movie with him being killed and the Gadelaza being destroyed by the ELS. I guess everyone was expecting him to go for a faceoff against Setsuna in the final part. So much for the main antagonist.

-The ending maybe be a happy and peaceful one but I doesn’t explain the whole thing.

-The Ribbons Almark identical was actually just an ELS.

- 00 Quanta only appeared in the final part with Setsuna trying to get into the Dialogue leaving Harute and Zabanya to do all the dirty work.

-Tieria didn’t fight in the final battle.

-I felt that Veda was not as important as it used to be during Season 1 and 2.

- Raphael was destroyed during its second appearance.

- The backpack gundam for Raphael has a lame name called Seravee. LOL.

- The 40% of the pouplation which are innovators are going into deep space to explore or somthing. But the ship has a funny name called “Sumeragi”.

- The final scene with Marina and a greyish haired but young looking Setsuna hugging each other is lame to me and it doesn’t explain much.

Basically, that’s all for the pros and cons.

The were also some mechandise being sold but most were expensive and not worth it such as the cushion for $29.90, 3D poster for $32.90 and a paper bag for $9.90. To me, the only thing worth it was the HG 00 Qan[T] clear version which I bought and I heard from the salesperson that there’s only 50 of it.

As it’s the clear version, the parts are clear obviously.

Anyway, this movie is well worth the $12 and every Gundam fan should go and watch it. We got to watch it the same day as in Japan and we also have English subtitles. It screens till the 29th so go an book your tickets now.

That’s all for this post!

Till the next post and stay tuned!
