Arche Gundam

I've just got my hands on the newly released HG 1/144 scale Arche Gundam from the 00 Gundam series which is my 8th Gunpla model. It cost me 72 bucks which is bit pricey but its a cool model so I guess its okay.

And as usual, it took me about 3 hours to assemble the model...

Above is the head and the upper body which took me about 20 minutes to assemble.

Now, one of the two most boring thing about assembling a gunpla model, the arms. It took me another 30 minutes...

Next up, the legs (another boring process) and the lower body. There were many lil bit and pieces and joints in it for better articulations. On the assembling part, it also means more time consuming and 1 hours was the time being used.

There are also the accessories such as weapons, shields etc. which took me another 45 minutes. Finally, the end product looks pretty awesome with only the color being my issue because its supposed to be a badass Gundam but now it looks pinkish and feminine.

P/S: Just click the picture if you wanna have a more detailed look.

That's probably all... Out

Gunpla

First of all, "Gunpla", derived from the phrase "GUNDAM plastic models", commonly refers to the practice of building Gundam models. "What are Gundams?" You ask. Well, Gundams are huge human driven mechanical robots used for war but don't worry, its only found in animes and not something you would see flying around outside your window.

So, collecting these Gundam models has been one of my hobbies lately as I am a huge fan of Gundams. I've been following the current Gundam anime which is the OO series (or double O) which has ended this week and the models in the series are pretty awesome. Thus, I have already bought 3 HG (High Grade) 1/144 scale models (larger scale is 1/100 and 1/60) and there are still plenty more to get. Here are some blur shots of my lousy posers...

Arios and OO-Raiser Gundam (don't know what's the lil one in the middle called)

I'm still gonna get a few models like Cherudim, Seravee and probably the old Nadleeh and Trans-Arm-ed Exia Gundam. Not to forget, there are also models from the other series. Damn I'm gonna be broke.

Finally, I just found a new release from Bandai which looks really awesome and I'm definately gonna get this as well. (Damn you money sucking Bandai)

It's the (freaking long) HG 1/144 Gundam OO Trans-Arm Raiser Gloss Injection Version!!!


This will probably cost me around RM90 I guess. Gonna be really broke now... sobs...
