A Prelude to the Unicorn Banshee Cyan Psycho Frame Version

After chasing my dissatisfaction with my Strike Freedom, I had assembled two kits with a bang over the weekend when I was sick. Needless to say and pardon me, without any hesitation, I snap fitted this kit in a haste over a day. And immediately the next morning, I was already painting the kit.

For now, here are 2 pics that I have posted. I promise to post more and give elaborate details about the kit and show what you can get from out of the box.



De-mechanizing A Strike Freedom

The striking thoughts finally paid-off. But a lot of unneccessary stuff happened. I got sick (my stomach was upset) and tons of tedious tasks had to be accomplished in the office.

Anyway, as I have completed painting and customizing this kit, I still find it lacking something. It doesn't have the wow factor. I am a bit disppointed maybe because it's only a No-grade kit. I have painted this differently because the original blue and dark blue with red and white color makes the kit look funky and weird. I don't know why, but my eyes find it not appealing. So to make the kit more serious looking, I have painted it with silver and metallic graphite finish.



Gundam Heavy Arms EW due for Roll-out?

I've come across bandai-asia's site and the heavy arms is due for roll-out this January. I maybe mistaken or not but by next week it's already February. Let's wait and see....

Striking Thoughts on Freedom

At the end of the first working week of the new year last Friday, I passed by a hobby store on my way home. For some reason or whatever and with the small amount of cash at hand, a sudden surge of impulse cause me to buy this no grade Strike Freedom. Only then I realized I made a some sort of a stupid mistake of buying it. After a couple of master grades that I have already started assembling, it made me ponder that when I snap fitted this kit, there's nothing special about it. It only just took me more than 4 hours of the night to do it. I don't mean to bash or insult this kind of kit but probably it's because I was expecting so much like the details I had dealt with the MG kits. Believe me,  I have already built before a couple of non-grade kits from the 00 Gundam series but the details and build of the kits are quite far and progressive from the Seed Series. I checked the manual of the Strike Freedom and it was produced in year 2005.

Now, the striking question lies in my head on how am I going to customise it? Maybe within the next couple of days I may have the answer.

MG Gundam Exia Carbon Graphite Gold Frame

Here is the review of the MG Gundam Carbon Graphite Gold Frame. Quite long for a description. Nonetheless, this kit that I have during the vacation caught my interest on the inner frame of the kit. This is the reason why apart from giving much attention on the paint job of the armor, I put more effort on the details of the frame. Thus, I painted it with a mixture of gold and metallic graphite to achieve the effect.
