Final Catch of 2008: 1/100 00 Raiser

An hour more to go before we cross over to 2009. I've just reached home and I waste no time taking picture of my fianl catch of the year, the OO Raiser.

The 1/100 00 Raiser contain the 00 Gundam, O Riser, & the Celestial Being display stand. The coolest part: Light-up GN drive~! *_*

Inside the box it includes a Gundam 00 series catalogue with all its merchandise toy. Sweet~

This concludes my 2008 catch. Hereby wishing everyone a happy new year and may everyone get what they wish for. ^_^

1/72 Macross Frontier.. Acquired~!

I just got these two in time for christmas. ^_^ It's hard not to get them especially if you have finish watching the "Macross Frontier series". Here are some of the boxarts to share.

I doubt I'll have the time to work on them this year. Maybe i shall wait until i acquired 1/72 Luca's unit next year, or even michael's unit. XD

HG 1/100 V2 Gundam

It's about time i started posting on Gundam stuff. Let me start off with this gunpla that i acquired just 2 months ago. It's a High Grade 1/100 V2 Gundam produced in 2000. The reason why I'm getting this piece is because I waited too long for the MG version and I doubt that's gonna anytime soon. Another reason is that I only go for 1/100 scale model kit because they look better in my collection if all are of the same scale :D Perhaps I'll only go for other scales such as GP-03 Dendrobium, Freedom Meteor Unit, Dynames GN Arms & macross frontier goodies, provided if i got the munnies & space.

Alright enuff said. I only did panel lining and basic colouring with gundam markers over fold sticker areas. Bloody idiot when I got this piece they didn't include the fold sticker! Anyway not like I'm gonna use them in the first place.

Flying stance

Learning how to use adobe photoshop. When I'm done I'll then "photoshop" in the "V2 wings" for it. ^_^

Beam rifle stance

Beam sword stance

"Beam fan" stance :D

"Activate shield!"

"Activated! Finally.."

V2 Gundam has a core fighter with 2 attachments. Much similar to Force Impulse Gundam from "Gundam Seed Destiny" series. You can consider this as the precedent model for that concept.

Pilot: Uso Evin

A comparison with macross 7's VF-19 Fire Valkyrie. Although are 1/100 scale, their size differs significantly. V2 Gundam is considered the smallest in build as compared to the rest of the protagonist's gundam of the Gundam series.

I hope Bandai would give serious thoughts on giving this model kit an "MG" treatment. A V2 assault buster would be a tasty treat for all collectors. ^_^
