Gunpla: Collection Update

As you can see, MG Unicorn has joined my army.

Yeah the UC gundams are seeming to fit in.

Notice the Lightning Base red base. I really love the guy, I might just have to make a review.

That little Sword Impulse is actually a crappy fake imitation called "Gundam Seed the Hyper". 

They're all right beside my bed. I feel safer. Who needs a night light? Oh yeah I forgot I have my lightning base still xD!!!

You can't half ass any gundam kit. Especially an MG, you have to get an action base... Unless it comes with one already, not to mention one sexy looking stand **Hi-V**.

It's Gundam Wing meets Mobile Suit Gundam.

Literally an overview.

Close up of my brand new MG Unicorn ova. Not ver. ka by the way. I just bought the water slides for it.

What happened Wing Zero. You used to look so nice, now you're all dusty and meh...

Whattup!

That's it... YOU'RE DUST-SCYTHE HELL NOW!!!

You used to be my best kit evar!!! x.x

Why must you become dusty!!! I need that IKEA detolf!!!

That's it for the day. BTW MG Epyon has been released, I certainly didn't order it yet (because I suck), but there are a few reviews out on it already. I remember one showed some excellent whip articulation and twin dragon poses. Gosh I want it...

Amuro's Final Suit: MG RX 93-V2 Hi-V Gundam

Finally, after a week of waiting for my supply package, the beast is complete! This mech probably took me over 16 hrs to fully complete in total. That's panel lining, cutting off from sprues, putting together, applying water slides, then top coating in layers. I have to say, for my 3rd ever Gundam/model kit (the other two being MG D-Hell and MG WZC pearl gloss), it looks really nice! I feel so pro now... I can tackle any kit! Anyways, I topcoated this piece of awesomeness with Mr. Topcoat Flat. I pretty much used up the whole entire can for the kit.

Oh my gosh!!! Now I really have to do the gloss finish on my MG Unicorn ova... Damn. I really don't feel like ordering another flat spray, so...

Anyways, I bought this guy for five reasons: He's Amuro's final suit, he's Amuro Freakin' Ray's suit, he's sexy, he's a UC kit (don't have any other than my incomplete MG Unicorn ova.), and he's one of the B.F.Gs (Big Flippin' Gundams).

Speaking of which, what the hell is Hi-V anyways? Apparently he's like the Wing Zero Custom of the movie version. I believe it was the novel Beltorchika's Children that he was in. He's also supposed to be the completed version of the V Gundam (V as in the Greek for Nu) had Amuro been given more time to prepare.
Sadly, this does not change his fate as he still perishes by the hands of the debris from Char's asteroid. I miss Amuro...

Well, pictures speak louder than words so here is the bad boy himself: "MG RX 93-V2 Hi-V Gundam: Amuro Ray's Final/Strongest Mobile Suit"

A look at the backpack unit that houses the fearsome fin funnels. The Hi-V was supposed to be able to recharge the fin funnels on its own. The propellant tanks are able to keep the Hi-V accelerating longer.
Side view to get the idea of its dimensions.

Angled front shot. Yeah I went for the lazy box art pose... Oh, and I finally figured out how to improve the detail quality of my camera. Idk if you guys notice...

Same angle, closer.
Actually, I think this my best shot. It gives a better idea of the massiveness of this beast.
Just liked the way his head was turned, "Hey! Watcha' lookin' at!".
Emo shot.
Bet you've never seen this shot before...
I was going for the "Godzilla" look. He's huge!!! (That's what she said about me... HAHAHA!!!)



SO UNTIL MY MG UNICORN OVA. PEACE!

New grabs for June

The wait for Epyon was boring me, and I didn't feel like buying 00 Raiser yet so I went ahead and bought myself MG Hi-Nu (w/ clear parts) as well as... MG Unicorn ova.!!! These kits were purchased from Gundam Store and More, GSAM for short, a very nice online store with cheap shipping if you're buying 1-3 kits, plus the fact that they're over at Michigan and I'm here in Illinois makes shipping very quick (as in 2 days after processing). I guess you could say I am set for the UC part of my collection, if you want to call it that... Why did I choose these two over 00 Raiser? Well, I just lacked a UC kit. All my kits from what you've seen are only Wing EW kits. A true Gunpla collection is NOTHING without an actual UC kit so I thought to myself, why not add in the big bad (not really bad) UC main Gundams? The MG Hi-Nu does look mighty sexy though with panel lining, water slides, and a flat topcoat... and the MG Unicorn Ova. is just... Gorgeous? Oh my... In other words, they're UC lead Gundams and they are HUGE (ofc she said that). Currently I just have the Unicorn and all it's accessories assembled and panel lined. I am just waiting for my supplies to get here (some being water slides, Mr. mark setter, and topcoats) to give it its finishing touches. I am trying as hard as I can to prevent myself from starting on the Hi-Nu before I could get Unicorn finished so I can deliver my full attention on Unicorn and finish it with great effort. Until my Unicorn is finished, cya' then!
