gm fencer

the gm fencer, a gm command space type with the weapons from the gyan. I put this together after building the gyan vulcan, I had not used the original weapons from the gyan so I gave them to my gm command, I think it looks pretty good and I am even thinking of maybe painting this kit.

this kit has not been painted or panel lined.

1/144 hg orx-005 gaplant tr-5 [hrairoo]

this model kit took a long time to build as I had lost motivation to finish it (too many parts), it was an interesting build though.

this kit has not been painted or panel lined and does not have any stickers applied.

1/100 hg xxxg-01d gundam deathscythe

my favorite gundam ever in hg 1/100 scale, the kit itself is alright as it is just an oversized high grade but I'm just happy to finally have a model kit of my all time favorite gundam.

the only part of this kit to have any paint or panel lining is around the eyes as I have done some panel lining around the eyes instead of using a sticker, other than that this kit has not been painted or panel lined.

composite bawoo (hg 1/144 custom built gunpla)

the composite bawoo, built using parts from three different bawoo model kits. I had some parts left over from when I built my rebawoo as well as an old prototype bawoo (the orange bawoo) that was missing some parts (I bought it used many years ago), and a regular bawoo (the green bawoo), so I built this kit so I could use all the parts I could from the prototype bawoo and all the leftover parts from the rebawoo and this is what I got, there are a couple things I could have done differently but I wanted this kit to look the way it does, all in all I am very happy with how it turned out.

this kit has not been painted or panel lined.

hg 1/144 scale amx-107r rebawoo

I purchased this kit some time ago and finally got around to building it. I like it but there are some things that annoyed me, mainly the fact that some parts need to be glued on (I got into gundam model kits because they didn't need glue) so that really annoyed me.

this kit has not been painted or panel lined.

1/144 mobile skeleton

inspired by the mobile flat, this kit is made up of parts mainly from hg 1/144 powered arms powereder and hg 1/144 skull weapon sets, this kit was easy to put together from the parts I had, it has extreme amounts of articulation and can be folded up into a flight/standby mode.

the mobile skeleton is a remotely controlled mobile worker mainly used for colony repairs/maintenance and removal of space debris, the head unit is filled with high powered scanners capable of scanning for signs of life as well as what material something is made of.

second hand gunpla

about a year ago I stumbled upon a gaming/toy store that sells new and used things, in their display cabinet there were a couple 1/144 ng (no grade) gunpla, I purchased them both for $5 a kit.

the two kits I got were the duel gundam (the one on the left) and the strike dagger (the one on the right), both kits are missing parts but at $5 a kit I don't really mind that much, when I bought the kits they had been assembled very poorly and I had to take them apart and fix them then put them back together (basically I had to rebuild them), I had originally planned on using them for parts and custom projects but I never got around to it, so for now they are just space fillers on my shelf.

a new project currently underway

although I don't have any pictures to share at the moment I do have a new project I'm working on, I'm making what's known as a mobile suit girl (MS girl for short), to build it I'm using high grade 1/144 gunpla (which one I'm using is a secret for right now) and a figma. I'm not sure who the figma is of as I'm not familiar with the series it's from, I bought two together on ebay for a low price specifically for this project so which character it was didn't really matter.

hopefully I will have it finished soon and have pictures of it.

kotobukiya modeling support goods trailer base 004 and customized hg 1/144 rgm-79gs gm command-space

I bought a kotobukiya trailer base that I'd been wanting for a while, once it was finished I realized I didn't really have anything to put in it to have it carry so I bought a hg 1/144 scale rgm-79gs gm command-space (otherwise known as a gm command space type), I swapped out a few parts on the gm because I wanted it to be a little bit more custom.

what I changed:

the bottom half of the foot and ankle guard: from the gm cold districts type

the right hand, gun and center chest piece: from the gm sniper k9

the left hand: from the jackedge

the side skirt armor: from the altron gundam 

as of right now neither kit has been painted or panel lined and there have been no stickers applied, although I might paint the gm later on but for now I'm happy with it as is.

gf13-050nsw nobell gundam

a while ago I purchased a 1/144 scale nobell gundam, I had been thinking about buying one for a while and I finally decided to make a purchase.

when I purchased the model kit I was given a free bazooka with my kit, the bazooka also came with parts for modifying other model kits (mainly adapter parts for arm swaps), I couldn't think of any other model to give the bazooka to so I gave it to the nobell and personally I think it looks really good with it.

also rather than just taking pictures of the model kit, I decided to make a stop motion animated gif.

kampfer amazing

I recently started watching gundam build fighters and one of my favorite kits in the show is the kampfer amazing, so when I saw the kit for sale online I had to have it and I bought it right away, once it arrived I started building it, it didn't take me very long to finish it.

so once I finished building it I started taking pictures of it, it was a little hard to get the entire kit in frame so I had to move some parts and every time I moved it I took a picture to see if it fit in the frame, later on when I was going through all the pictures I took I noticed that some of them linked up nicely to make a basic animation, so I loaded them into a gif making website and made the above image.

I haven't painted, panel lined or applied the stickers to this kit, I'm happy with it as it is and I'm glad I bought it.

field repair gm (the spare parts gm)

so after my last couple of gundam model customs, I ended up with a headless cold districts type gm, after digging through some left over parts from previous kits I ended up with this:

I basically just put random parts together so I could have a full mobile suit, the head is the o gundams head with the antenna from the cold districts gm head (because I used the v-fin on a different model), the hands and gun are from my gm sniper 2, and the shield is from my gm sniper 1 and it has a piece I made from a leftover plastic tree to mount it onto the arm (the mounting piece for the shield kept falling off so I had to make a new one).

all in all, I'm not 100% satisfied with it but until I find some better parts it will have to do (I have an idea for what I might do to it, but at the moment I can't find the parts I want to use on it so it'll have to wait until I can locate the right parts)

rgm-o-79d cold districts prototype custom

I made this using the body of the o gundam and the head as well as the shield from the cold districts type gm.
I haven't painted or panel lined this kit because I'm too lazy to do it.
I call it a prototype because I see this as being something that could be mass produced, I think the parts look really good together and to make it was rather easy, as well the colors seem to match for the head and body (if you didn't know it was a custom, you'd probably think it was made that way).
all in all, I really like how it looks and I'm happy with it.

project idea

I haven't really done much this month, I've not been feeling the best as well as having things to do, I have had a cool project idea though, I was thinking of buying another phantasy star model kit and modding some gundam parts onto it to make a mecha musume custom, but the price of the phantasy star kits at the store where I purchased my previous kits has raised their price on the kits and I really don't want to spend too much so I guess my idea will have to wait.

Phantasy Star Blue Burst RAcaseal: redria ver. APSY

I recently bought two Phantasy Star Blue Burst RAcaseal: redria ver. APSY model kits, this kit has the option of allowing the builder to build a shorter version of the character if they so desire.

as you can see in the picture above I built both heights, the difference in assembling the different heights wasn't very difficult.

a friend of mine asked me if these model kits were around the same height as a busou shinki figure so I took this picture as a comparison picture.

the Phantasy Star Blue Burst RAcaseal: redria ver. APSY model kit is almost identical to the Phantasy Star Blue Burst RAcaseal: yellowboze ver. APSY model kit, the main difference is the color but redria also comes with more weapons and has the height option, but aside from that they are basically the same kit, so if you want a yellowboze kit but can't find one you can simply repaint a redria kit and vice versa (in my opinion: the only difficult part would be the eyes as they are different colors, but you could always due a "blank eyes" version).

all in all I am very happy with these models and I would definitely purchase this kit again.

mysterious figurine

I bought a hasegawa 1/12 scale capsule machine and a random figurine (apparently it's from an old video game), I had bought the capsule machine for the purpose of taking photos of my figures buying a toy but when I realized the figurine was meant to sit on something I got the idea to have her sit on top of the machine and I think they look really good together.

apparently the figurine is from a dating game, I've tried to find the name of the game and had gotten a few different results which are: grafitty angels, angel grafitti s, grafitti angels. apparently the game was a dating game for the sega saturn, and the figure was supposedly made in 1998, that is pretty much all that I know about the figurine (I don't even know the characters name) but perhaps in the future I'll find out more about it.

this photo has been edited, it is the two above photos that have been cropped then put side by side, if you look closely you can see the line that separates the two photos.

new project follow up: the gm-o-d gundam

 (this is the unpainted version)

I call this mobile suit the gm-o-d gundam, gm-o-d stands for the three suits I used to make it: the rgm-79d gm cold districts type, the gn-000 o gundam, and the xxxg-01d2 gundam deathscythe hell.

(this image does not belong to me)

I got the idea for this from playing the ps2 game ms saga: a new dawn in which there is a house in the game (marie's place) where there is a gm command head with a gundam v-fin (I think it's off of the mk2 gundam) attached to it in the background, I wasn't able to get a gm command so I used a gm cold districts type instead and I used the v-fin from the o gundam as well as the shield, the legs are from a spare deathscythe hell kit that I had, once I finished modding it I decided to paint it and panel line it as well, the paint job could have been better but my paintbrush that I was using is kind of worn out and isn't the greatest but from a distance the paint looks well done so it's ok I guess, also in the pictures it has a different gun in the before shots, I didn't like the way it looked so I switched it out for a machine gun I had from a rx-79 model kit and painted and panel lined it, the pictures aren't that great because they hide some of the details (the panel and thrusters on the back unit are painted but it doesn't show up in the pictures).

(this is the finished version (painted and panel lined))

I had thought about calling this suit the gm-o-d-79 because that would count all the kits I used to make it (because the gun is from an rx-79 model kit) but I decided to leave it as gm-o-d because it can be read as g mod which would stand for gundam mod which I believe fits perfectly because I modded a gm into a gundam.

(a side by side comparison of the unfinished version and the finished version (the left side is the unfinished ver. and the right side is the finished ver.))

it could have turned out a bit better but all in all I'm happy with it.

new project

recently I started thinking about a mobile suit head which I saw while playing MS Saga: A New Dawn and  I started to wonder what suit it goes to or if it was just something that was put in the game as background art:

(I did not take this picture/screen shot)

(I cropped the picture above to show the head a little better)

as shown in the pictures it seems to be (in my opinion) a gm command with a gundam v-fin, I've tried researching the head and I've only found one mobile suit but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this head.

(this is not my picture)

in this picture it shows a gundam whose name is apparently gm command hammerhead gundam (it might be gm command hammer head gundam, but I don't think splitting hammerhead into hammer head makes any sense), I'm not sure if this is a real gundam or a fan made one or if it is suppose to be the finished product from that head and I doubt that it is.

(this is not my picture, this picture is of box art for a 1/144 scale model kit)

so with the head on my mind I decided to make a 1/144 scale model with the head, I purchased a gm cold districts type model kit so I could build it, as of right now I've only just started building the kit and it will probably not get finished for quite some time, but if I am able to find a gm command model kit for a decent price I will use it instead, or I might just make a different version of it.

Phantasy Star Blue Burst RAcaseal: yellowboze ver. APSY

I recently bought a PHANTASY STAR ONLINE Blue Burst – RAcaseal: Yellowboze Ver.APSY 1/12 plastic model kit by Kotobukiya, I'm not really a fan of phantasy star but I really liked the look of the kit and decided to buy it, it took about two days to assemble (I started late at night so I only got the arms done then I went to sleep, when I woke up I built the rest of it). it is unpainted (I don't plan on painting it), the skirt piece that comes pre-painted in this kit was not very well prepared before it was painted as you can see where it was clipped out from the plastic tree so having it already painted is pointless because you would have to sand it down and repaint it if you wanted it to be perfect, but it comes with some extra parts that aren't used (a chest, torso, toes, knee joints, shoulder armor, skirt armor, and eye plate (I think that was everything, I may have forgotten something)) so you can change the color of a few parts and build a perfect skirt armor, she also comes with a variety of hands (some are already done and ready to use (I think they are actually made of pvc) and there are some that are in a plastic tree and need to be assembled).

the articulation of the model is really nice and it is very poseable the only trouble is keeping her from falling over as she does not come with a stand (apparently this kit is compatible with a stand that kotobukiya makes, not sure what one though). the weapon and back unit pieces in the pictures shown are from 1/144 scale gundam kits (gun: rx-79 ground gundam, back units: amx-107 bawoo), the kit does come with its own weapons but I thought she'd look better with some gundam parts.

this kit also has four different hair/head pieces to choose from so you can pick the one you like best, but sadly she only comes with one face plate so you can only have one full head (unless you buy four kits).

(these head shots are not my pictures)

all in all, I am very happy I bought this model kit.
