Work in progress Mobile Sumo 1/144 - Part 2

As continued from the last post, I spray painted the runner chrome silver and left it overnight to dry. After that, it is safe to work on the build. I was pretty excited as this would be my first build from the Turn A series. I have watched the series and it was an enjoyable experience. Further more this kit is shiny which adds to my delight.

Work in progress 1/144 Mobile Sumo - Part 1

Although I have mentioned recently that I will be focusing on my SD kits from the Sangokuden series, I cannot help myself when I was looking through my backlogs and found this, the Mobile Sumo from the Turn A Gundam series. It is a no grade 1/144 scale kit. I have bought this on Ebay a couple of years back. This will be my first kit from the series.

As continued from the earlier post, I continued working on the SD Kyoui Gundam F91. The basic form was completed earlier. So next up are the armor and the weapons. The first step is assembling the helmet which the parts have been painted earlier.

I got some free time over the weekend, thus is back to work on my backlog. As mentioned earlier, the focus is on the Sangokuden SD kits. This time I chose the SD Kyoui Gundam F91 to work on. It is quite an interesting kit as it is a Gundam but yet he can disguise as a Zaku II too.

Work in progress BB Senshi Sangokuden SD Kakouenn Daras - Part 1

My last kit was working on the SD Kakouton Giros.  During that WIP, I mentioned that I was going to work on his brother, SD Kakouenn Daras next. My next project is where I deliver my promise. If you have notice from the box art, Kakouenn Daras is quite similar to Kakouton Giros in terms of design.

Gundam DVD - The 8th MS Team

Still talking about Gundam anime in this post. Another Gundam DVD I have in my possession is the Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th MS Team. I like this anime becaue it is about a group of soldiers fighting jungle warfare on the ground. Although this team possess Gundam units, they are not all-powerful. They struggle fighting the enemy to end the war. This anime has 12 episodes and I also have another DVD, Miller's report, which is essentially a movie compilation of all the episodes.

Gundam Anime on DVD

As I am a Gundam fan, I do collect other things related to Gundam other than Gunpla. One such thing is the anime. I enjoy watching the Gundam anime. The series actually has quite a history. The first gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam actually started in 1979. I collect the DVDs and watch them. Actually knowing the anime and the story line gives you much more satisfaction and more attachment when building the Gunpla. Below are three DVDs which I got hold of recently.

August Loot!

I have just returned from a trip to Kuching, Sarawak. I was there over the long weekend. While there I paid a visit to Heng Kim Trading located at BDC Everise.  Of course I will not go home empty handed while I was there. Got some kits, both Bandai & bootlegs.



Loot time!

Work in progress - BB Senshi Sangokuden SD Kakouton Giros Part 2

Work in progress - BB Senshi Sangokuden SD Kakouton Giros Part 1

For the next project I am working on is the BB Senshi Sangokuden SD Kakouton Giros. Most probably I will focus on the Sangokuden series for some time as I have to clear my backlog fast. And the fastest kits to clear are the Sangokuden series kits. Now on with the introduction work.

According to the three kingdoms story, he is one bad ass tough guy. It is said that when his eye was struck by an arrow, he pulled the injured eyeball out and ate it himself. Brrr.... that is one gross guy. Anyway we proceed with the deboxing.

Bling Bling! Double header - MG Hyaku Shiki & Gundam Astray Goldframe Amatsu

This particular post is to showcase two of my earlier kits. This two has been completed a a couple of years back when I was just learning about gunpla. Straight build with no painting. Even some of the nib marks are still present. I will try to do some clean up on them once I got time. For now I just want to do a shoot with them as I have just digged them out of storage.
The reason why I want them both together for this shoot is that they both possess a similar trait. They both have gold chrome plated parts, bling bling! I really have a soft spot for these shiny parts. I also have a Shining Gundam Hyper Mode somewhere in storage but that is for another story.
