Random Musings of Works in Progress…

So the 0 Raiser I ordered got sent to the wrong address… So instead of having a ballin’ 00 Raiser right now I’ll have a ballin’ 00 Raiser mid-this-week.

In other news, I’ve been thinking of where my random little project of 1/144 HGs is going, and I think my ideal finished roster is…

Celestial Being Side:
- 00 Raiser (00 is Done-ish)
- Cherudim (Done-ish)
- Seravee + Seraphim
- Arios + GN Archer

And they all shall strike an epic Aeolia’s Angels pose. This is subject to change if there are any new additions in the last few episodes (minor spoiler: from episode summaries, it seems like this might be the case). The done-ish kits are finished except for a few minor paint touch ups, a flat coat on most of the model, and a coat of Future on the GN Condensers and other clear parts.

1/144 HG Gundam 00 Team: Work in Progress – Cherudim Gundam

So here we have my slowly growing season two Gundam team…

I noticed AFTER I took this picture that the way I have them posed makes photos of them block out their faces… Oops.

Also, yes, I am aware that dear god I need a better camera. I’m working on it.

1/144 HG 00 Gundam: Work in Progress – Redesigned GN Drives

Hey, remember how I said I wasn’t going to do THAT much modifying?

Oops.

So… Yeah. Originally I wanted to do a little mod on GN Drives just because the 1/144’s drives are horrifically basic looking… My original idea was to just find some way of adding little thrusters to the holes.

But then I decided that would be too easy…

So I decided to bring up a new CAD program (ANOTHER new one, if you’re familiar with my struggles with the GN Flag, haha) and give it a go. So long story short… I’m just going to be modeling and 3D printing a new set of GN Drives for him based on a combination of the 1/100 00 Gundam and the shots from the anime in which they show the drives in detail.

Obviously it has quite a ways to go… Well, sort of. It doesn’t have THAT far to go, but what has been done is really basic (mainly due to having to learn the program, haha), so we shall see how it progresses.

1/144 HG 00 Gundam: Work in Progress – Buildup and To Do

So I got my 1/144 HG 00 Gundam today and slapped the guy together. He’s a hella nice model. I haven’t built a 1/144 HG in years but this was an absolute joy to put together.

Everything is just amazing… Detailed, very articulated, this kit is quite amazing. I’m not going to do a full review since it’s not a new kit and you can find these reviews left and right, but still.

HOT DAMN!!!

Only tools thus far:
- Hobby knife
- Sprung cutting tweezers (My new favorite modeling tool… Gonna have a rant/review on this soon)
- .005 Micron Sakura marker for panel lining
- Metallic green Gundam Marker for painting
- Sandpaper

The Backlog

Every once in awhile I like to write down what I should be working on, what I have sitting around not working on, etc etc, all in an attempt to figure out why I’m not really making progress on anything…

Unicorn Gundam: The Gatlings

I gatling’d.
Two of these were tragically sent away today… Doesn’t change the fact that my Unicorn can still quadra-wield though!

Unicorn Gundam: The Gameplan

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam

Unit 1 “UNICORN” and Unit 2 “BANSHEE”
