Akai Overload 2


Gundam Astraea Type-F [Custom Model] (~23/8/2008)

Date recorded as end of project as I did this one over a period of free time here and there. Basically its just an extra set of parts to switch with the previously posted Astraea F. The main hard part is the V-fin of the Custom Model, its modded with epoxy putty from an Exia V-fin. Don't really look perfect as its my first time doing this. Well, at least it turned out pretty decent looking.

Overall satisfied.

Keroro Gunso (21/8/2008)

My first Keropla! This 1/12 kit came with the Sept 08 issue of Kero Kero Ace. The plastic is kind of neon and a bit translucent, kind of special to me. Amazing that the body and limbs come as a whole piece. Its just a pretty raw build up.

The issue comes with a simple papercraft secret base for the little guy but I didn't build that.

Akai Overload


Gundam Astraea Type-F (8/8/2008)

Well the date is so nice that I decided to start a kit (and that long weekend is a factor too). Done over a span of 3 days with day 1 - head operations, day 2 - spray paint, day 3 - spray paint, pannel line and assembly. Used up 2 cans of red spray for this guy. Not quite done with it yet, the shield is in the works done(as of 17/8) and there is one other thing planned for it.

Had to "seal" movement of the knee joint as it scratches the paint.
Solved by a bit of gap widening (as of 19/8).
Pretty sad, thats why I don't usually go into such big paint jobs.

Didn't cut myself when building this kit, theres enough red already.
A red Gundam for National Day.
