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.

Upgrade! Continued...

To pick up where we last left off. The Beginning Gundam was defeated in the encounter with the Forever Gundam and the Zaku Custom F2000. Keroro appeared and promised to help Beginning Gundam. So it begins.... ...

Keroro: Keke... My work is finished!

Keroro: The Beginning 30 Gundam is completed!

The Beginning 30 Gundam powers up and get to his feet.

Beginning 30 Gundam: Whoa! I feel full of power. Thanks fo the help Keroro.
Keroro: Keke.. ...                                                    

Beargguy: You look kick ass man! You should get back at those 2.
B30 Gundam: You are right.                                                                               

B30 Gundam: It's time for some payback!

Meanwhile, Forever Gundam is chilling out with the Zaku Custom F2000.

Forever Gundam: Haha... Life is sweet without the annoying Beginning Gundam.
Zaku F2000: Yeah right boss. We call the shots right now. 

B30 Gundam: You may want to hold that thought!
Forever: Eh?                                                 
F2000: Gasp!                                           

(Sound of beam saber powering up)

F2000: Uh-oh... ...

B30 Gundam: That's for cutting my head off!
F2000: ... ...                                 

B30 Gundam: Now as for you.... ...
Forever: You are wrong if you think you have won ... ...

B30 Gundam: Eh?        
????????: Boo!

Hi-V2 : Sorry to crash the party.

Hi-V2 pulled the trigger.

Hi-V2: ??? !!                                                               
B30: Lucky I had some enhancements done.

B30: Take that!
Hi-V2: Argh!!!



Hi-v2: Arghhhhh!!!!!

In the meanwhile, Forever Gundam had sneaked away in the confusion.

B30: I guess I am back as the protector of the justice. Hehe...

The kits from the Gunpla Builders Series



WIP - Beginning 30 Gundam Part 5 (Final)

I continued in the project of the Beginning 30 Gundam. As mentioned in the last post, I forgot about the knee guards and the forearm guards. Thus have to retify this time.

Knee guards

Forearm guards

The knee guards attached

Forearm guards attached

Add the beam armor effects

A comparison between the Beginning Gundam & the Beginning 30 Gundam

Finally I completed the Beginning 30 Gundam. As you can see from the last picture, it is bulkier than the Beginning Gundam. More armor and new toys. With so many parts, posing them is a bit of a challenge as I had to take extra care not to let the parts fall out. Otherwise I have no other problems with the kit. The clear effect parts really made it stand out as opposed to the original gundam.
Now my next mission is to get out my other Gunpla Builders kits out for a photo shoot.
XD
