HG Transient Gundam

First images of the Gundam Transient, from Gundam Build Fighters Try,  in plastic model form. I loved the look of this suit in the anime but the model kit gets a definite, "meh" from this blogger. Perhaps it the dullness of contrasts that inspire my indifference, that does seem tot be the primary difference between the illustration and the model? What say you dear readers, are you moved to cheers, jeers or meh's?

More images available at Gundam Guy and Gundam Model Kits. 

Cautiously Optimistic

I'm really impressed by the design of the Gaeon and although I'm looking forward to its HG release, I still have my reservations.

Purdy right?! Here's the rub despite my excitement over the awesome spectacle of beam saber spider limbs, there remain concerns about the sturdiness of those arms. I don't have a lot of confidence this suit will be able to support those arms in any suspended poses. There's also the question of how back heavy this kit is going to be, that's a lot of plastic built into that backpack. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out when this kit releases in February 2015?  Until then Gundam Guy and Master File have plenty of images to tide you (and me) over.

Painted Build - HG 1/144 Wing Zero

How superb is the paint job? Paint is a wondrous thing - as is sanding - minus the disclaimer I would've thought this little fella was a MG.

Check out the full gallery at Gundam Guy or at Modelers Gallery. 

A box cometh!

I got a package today, rather a box and this box was chocked full of mobile suits and dirt.

First up are two HG kits, the Hi-Mock (which will probably be built by one of my sons) and the Space Jahannam (which will probably be on standby indefinitely).

Next up are two 1/100 scale kits, the RE/100 Gundam Mk-III, which I'm eager to build and the MG Hi-Zack.

Following those two are the rarest of all parcels, sealed Gunpla! Might be hard to see but hiding beneath that shrink wrapping are MG Exia and Deathsythe, the latter absolutely has to be painted.

Finally, a kit I feel I've been waiting an eternity for has finally arrived... The MG Sinaju Stein ver. Ka.

And that concludes the very first installment of "A Box Cometh!" Got your own box full of Gunpla joy you like to share? Well shoot us an email and we'll give your box it's moment in the sun!

Till next time.
