RX-78-2 Gundam

The Gundam that started it. The first one!! RX-78-2 Gundam. I was very happy with it when I got it. I looked at the runners, and with one guess, I knew it would be one great model to work with. The mecha for this model was amazing, and it also had the articulation which was much better than the previous MGs that I have, no wonder it was the best MG.

Front, Side and Rear veiw of the model, very simple, but the mecha shows otherwise. The model came with a lot of weapons, from the basic beam rifle to the beam javelin. However, you will not see any of the beam javelin photos, till I edit this post for the second time. The Hyper Bazooka was very nice. But it was quite difficult putting it on the gundam. The Hammer was something, looks pretty cool too. The Beam Rifle could also be fitted with a Super Napalm launcher a nice piece of equipment to be added to this model. The Beam Sabre was of course added.

I started work on at the second day after the return from KL. I actually wanted to delay making it, but I changed my mind. Didn't regret it one bit. This time I was extra careful with cutting the parts from the runners, and cut away the marks with a pen knife, the model looked better anyway. This time, unlike the previous ones, I panel lined the inner skeleton so it looked a lot better, and of course took more time to finish. The core fighter alone took a tiring 2 hours of continuous work.

The core fighter and in its folded form, the part goes into the torso as show above.

The Core fighter could be transform just by pulling the head down and the tail was made to fold inwards when this happened. The wings however had to be folded manually.

A Week

Man, it's been 2 weeks of holiday, this is the last week, and still I'm not that satisfied with my holiday. What could be missing? I keep asking myself that but I still can't get the answer. What is it that I have not accomplished?? And the results for my exam will be revealed on the first day at school. Hmmm.

All the stuff I did took quite a long time to finish. I made Gundam models, the RX-78-2 Gundam took at least 5 days to complete. I made 2 others which took 2 days to complete, 1 day each. Maybe what I have to do is draw!! Or maybe not. I play Starcraft every day, maybe that's what's bothering me... maybe not.

Arghhhhhhhh!!! My holiday in KL felt like 3 weeks instead of one. Maybe it was because of all the places I visited.

Anyway, I watched the 38th episode of Kamen Rider W. And the storyline has changed drastically, Wakana turned evil, just as soon as she was about to leave the city and her job with Phillip who also agreed to do so. It is getting very interesting, and surprisingly, I just noticed how many episodes were downloaded. And Accel has a new form, Accel Trial which allows him to move more quickly and dodge opponents attacks with his speed. It looks cool, his new form, maybe I will purchase the SH figurearts model. Oh, I so the Kamen Rider W models in KL, they were really nice, and S.I.C Dark Kabuto was there too. There were Heat Metal, Luna Trigger and Cyclone Joker. They all looked great.

A week of holiday left and down to 5 days of holiday. And not many people are online these days. Maybe they are on holiday...




Oh, and here are some of the pictures I took. I borrowed my bro's RX-78-2 Gundam SD for the picture of the trio. Looks good. Looking forward to buy the MG RX-75-2 Guntank.

So many maybes, I just wish I could spend this holiday to its fullest.

Stocked Up And Ready To Go!!

Yes!!! I have just come back from Kuala Lumpur today, and I thought maybe I should update my blog and I did. I did a lot of things there other than going to the shopping complexes such as, Midvalley, Time Square, Lowyat, Pavilion, One Utama and Ikea (bought quite a lot of furniture). I also went to Melaka or Melacca I guess the spelling changes from BM to English and Cameron Highlands. The only problem during that trip was the constant health problems I was having. I had a terrible headache, I sprained my arm, neck which also increased the headache pain. So travelling by car was of course a problem.

Now, I did buy Gundam Models there, they were cheaper too!!! I bought the Gundam Model I have always been looking for, RX-77-2 Guncannon, and even better with clear kit and its SD Model. I also bought Decal softener. This is used, if I am not mistaken, to make the decal stick much better and also make it not come off, you know because it seals it so any dust cannot interfere with the 'stickyness' of the decal. It costs RM 9.90. I wanted to buy Flat Clear Paint, but didn't and I regretted not buying it. Anyway, that costs RM 8.00.

I think I'll post more stuff tomorrow, need some sleep. 'Yawn'
