Overflag Fiasco, Replacements

So I made a stupid mistake with my Overflag; I glued the leg parts together without the thigh part and since I used plastic cement, the parts are melted together. I tried to fix it a bit but got really tired and frustrated, I'll get back to it some other time.

To make up for it, I decided to create the two Throne Gundams. Instead of taking my time to sand off every nub and waste so much effort--like I did with the Overflag--I just did a quick fitting of the parts, cutting the male parts so they'll separate easier for later. I have to say that both the Eins and Zwei are much more articulate then the Overflag and while there is a lot of painting necessary, they do look nice. I like how the bodies are basically the same so you could combine all three Throne Gundams into one with all the weapons if you so wish. I'll get back to them over the upcoming weekends.


Love the Throne Ein's design. The shoulder gun is so huge, it's tip is higher than my MG's even without being unfolded


The Zwei needs a lot of paint and just doesn't look as cool without panel lines since it's so bright. The sword is awesome though, Can't wait to make this one.

I'm looking forward to painting the two Thrones and still need to get the last one, the Drei. Probably will pick that one up as well as the MG Impulse and possibly the MG Sword/Launcher Strike. I love the strike, especially it's sword pack and the Impulse's Blast mode is bad-ass looking too.

Done with Overflag prefitting!

So I finished just building and sanding down the nubs. I really like how the Overflag looks. I need to apply some plastic cement to fix the seam lines and do lots of sanding after that. I hope to be able to do that before the end of spring break, but it sure seems to be coming up fast! I probably won't finish because I want to airbrush some internal parts but I have yet to buy a system. Here are two pics of it so far.





As you can see, I taped a lot of pieces because I made them loose so I could open them easily. HG are simple but really fun, I think I might start on the Throne Eins or take them up to Cal with me.

New project! HG Overflag

So I decided to start with the Overflag. I really like it's design and so if I do mess it up I'll probably buy the 1/100th version coming out to do it justice.


As you can see I haven't gotten very far, especially for a high grade but this is mainly just a parts fitting and sanding off the nubs or other areas to make it sharp.

I want to try practicing puttying to cover up the seam lines but haven't gotten around to it just yet. Still haven't decided when to buy an airbrush so this may take a while, I might even start on the thrones if I'm up to it.

They've come!

So today is my first day of Spring Break and after cleaning up of a party last night I came home to a big big box containing all the Gundams I ordered. There were so many that I was jumping up and down in excitement and giddiness. I laid them out on my bed and snapped a shot for posterity.


Starting from the top left there is the:
PG Strike Gundam
PG Skygrapser + Aile Striker
MG Unicorn Gundam
HG GN Arms + Gundam Exia (Trans-Am Mode)
HG Gundam Throne Eins
HG Gundam Throne Zwei
HG Overflag

I also got myself some tools, a pin vise with some drill bits and an angled tweezer.

I really don't know which to start with, I think I'll try the overflag or one of the other HGs and hopefully get an airbrush soon so I can start trying it out on them. Which do you think I should make first?

Buyer's Remore? I Think Not

Okay, quick post. I know it's been about forever since I posted but that's because nothings really happened so far. So a while ago I ordered the 1/144 GN Arms + Exia gundam on Hobbylink Japan, but I found it cheaper on another great site, rainbowten.co.jp/english . It is really nice and all the stuff are really cheap. I ended up spending $300 on it. I can't believe it myself but I'll definitely snap a picture of it all when it comes. I hope my new digital camera gets fixed by then so I can take some quality pictures. Till then, see yah
