Overflag (Poses)

After taking the pictures and uploading them...I realise one thing. I need a better camera! MY phone camera is decent for snapshots, not so good for model kit capturing. But I think I did ok with what I had to make do with. 




The pic above was suppose to show off that it has missile hidden in it's leg...not sure if I caught that well. 



Comparing the height of this 1/100 Overflag with my Canaan Nendoroid! ^^

Overflag


Brought this kit recently when I went down to time square. I always loved the design of the Overflag from OO Gundam. I didn't know there was actually a 1/100 version of it, I had just planned to get the regular 1/144 HG version.


 The runner pieces inside the kit, pretty simple. What you expect from a HG kit, even though it doesn't say on the box, but these 1/100 non grade kits are pretty much 1/100 HG kits.


The instruction manual for the kit. Liking the cover page, an Overflag in maintenance. 


Chest piece, pretty unique chest piece I have to say. 


Only part of the chest that need to be colour. Tried some masking technique. For the most part it turn out ok.  



I have to say, beside the fact that it look cool and transform, the head piece was the thing that sold me on the design. 




Waist part. Also another unique piece, that you won't see in most kits. Partly because of the way it transform I suspect, and also because of it's unique look and design element. 



The kit has three set of hands. Two normal closed fist ones, and one open right hand. And man does it look good! The open hand almost look like the fingers can be moved individually! Plus for the kit :) 


 Here is the whole upper body completed and assembled.


Part of the gun that needs to be painted white. No masking required this time!


 Tiny humans figures. One is of course Graham, the other two you wouldn't be surprise how well they would go in regular army model kits. One of them is those flight control personnel.


Clear part that I sprayed with clear blue. Graham's custom Overflag come with the gun piece painted blue, so blue it is!

I'll post more once I have more poses.

RG RX-78-2 Gundam Completed!

After years being completed, and left forgotten (and in some places broken!) I finally decided to "complete" my RG Gundam RX-78-2. All part of the plan to get back into gunpla. 




Pics above are showing off where I broke part of the leg armor. And it's a moveable piece too =_=;; It was why I didn't try to fix it sooner. But I finally decided to bite the bullet and try it anyhow!. 

Second pic is showing the loose circle around the ankle. 3 out 4 of them keep on rolling over and giving me heart attacks! ^_^;;



I did finally manage to fix the piece! And after only 1 failed attempt! Yatta! 

What I did  was sanding off the broken connection behind the broken part and the part I was trying to glue back together. Apply Mr Cement, press the broken parts together and pray! 

And as I mention I failed the first time around. Luckily the part was still loose, pry it off and try again. This time I line it up perfectly before applying the cement. And it was as good as new! \[^_^]/

And as I was admiring a job well done, I saw the stickers, thought "Hey why not!" 

...bad decision. I basically spend 2 hours looking at the booklet puzzling where each stickers goes where ^_^;;









But I have to admit, adding the stickers really helped the Gundam stand out even more! While a hard job, it was well worth it to apply (majority of) the stickers!



Last 2 pics is the Gundam docked in an Evangelion docking bay thing I got from a Gachapon, I must admit, the Gundam fit almostly perfectly inside it! I think I'll use that as it's base ^^ 

High heels! O_o



When I first saw this MS, my first thoughts were "Wow! It has some high heels!" . And then I read on a  gunpla review site, somebody saying that all gundam actually have high heels.

...and I realise they were right! O_o I just never thought of it that way before ^_^;;

The website I read the Rozen Zulu on. Also the site that mention that all gundam having high heels! XD
