PG Strike Freedom WIP- Body

The construction for this project was delayed this month because I couldn't source any gold paint As mentioned before all frame parts are sprayed or resprayed for consistency. The chest did take some time I completed it over four building sessions and close to six spraying sessions. The main difficulties I encountered were paint scratching when I put the air vents in. They resulted in ugly chips for the right vent I had to remove all paint twice with metho and respray to get what I wanted.

 The hardest part was connecting the white lower torso with the main body. Theres a hydrolic gimmick and getting the parts to connect when the connection points are on an angle was pretty tedious. The points I like about the main body is in the frame. The articulation point for the waist is a ratchet cog lock system which secures the torso from sagging from the backpacks weight.

I also started with my decal set my objective as portrayed before was to make a decal set symbolising Kira's decision to turn to ZAFT at the end of the Final Plus Special Edition. Pretty much Strike Freedom with ZAFT decals instead of Orb ones. I had to buy a pack of ZAFT water slide decals for this special project.

ODU's minute of silence

In light of the devastating earthquake in Japan it makes me wonder if 2012 is really on its way. We have had floods and cyclones in Queensland and earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan in a span of less than four months. Lets dedicate a minutes silence for the lives that have been taken away and offer a prayer for those that are still out there be found so that they can be reunited with their families.

ANA Unicorn

I'm really enjoying the Gundam Unicorn anime as I patiently wait for the latest installment this product from Bandai's collaboration with ANA Airlines has delivered a third model, Unicorn Gundam! The previous offerings were the original Gundam and 00 Raiser

I love the blue psycho frame this one is a good one! I may be tempted to get the original 1/144 Unicorn  Destroy Mode to replicate this spray job!

Kenji has got this kit! Should I convince him to do it?

Hard Graph Core Fighter noice!!!!

An element about Gundam series which really intrigued me was the pilot's core block system this is the first time that the Project V's Corefighter from UC0079 debuted in such a large scale.

The colours are remniscent to the RG Gundam I like the darker colour pallete it offers a much realistic look to the fighter plane.

The package comes with some accesories like missiles and three human figures bridge staff Amuro Ray and Sayla Mass

I love it how the model can transform into a core block!
