1/100 MG GN-X Get!

Another busy week...

My 1st Gunpla that isn't a Gundam. Well, how 'bout that? Definitely the best kit I've got since MG Exia & MG RX-78-2 ver. 2.0.

Runner A & B.

Runner C & D.

Runner E & F.

Runner G & H.

Runner I & J.

Poly-cap set, beam runner, stickers sheet, decals sheet & seals sheet.

1/100 MG RX 78-2 Gundam ver. 2.0

Wow! That was quick. Well actually I had this kit 2 days ago, so I have plenty of time to finish this kit (with minimal painting).

Size comparison: next to 1/100 MG RX-78-2 Gundam ver. One Year War (pheww!).

Conclusion:

This kit is a must have for any Gundam fans. If you're planning to get a 1st MG kit for yourself, this is a great kit to start.

You'll love:

• Amazing articulations.
• Accurate design to the original anime.
• Great mechanical details and designs on inner-frame.

You'll hate:

• Plain design. Lacking external detail.
• Numerous parts to deal with.
• Some part tends to fall apart. E.g: Core Fighter's wing, shoulder armor. Shield won't be able to connect to the back of the Gundam properly.

For this amazing kit I believe it deserves a full mark. 5.0 out of 5.0.

New Project

It's been a while since I've bought a gunpla, so I've got myself this kit.

Originally I was planning to get MG Zeta 2.0, but when I saw this kit I bought it without a second thought. This is actually the first kit that I wanted to be my 1st Mg kit, but when I tried to buy it before, it was sold out.
As you notice on the box, this kit is part of a MG 30th Anniversary Campaign, which means this kit has an extra runner that are in clear. I won't be bothered with the clear parts so I'm not gonna use it.

Runner A, B and C.

Runner D and E.

Runner F and G.

Runner H and I.

Runner J and K.

Runners for Gundam Hammer, poly-caps, beam part with stickers, decals, seals, chain and chain connector.

Misery

Recently, I've an old horror movie based of Stephen King's novel of the same name, starring James Caan and Kathy Bates lead. And I've got to say that it's the most scariest s@#t I ever watched.

You really have to give all the credits to Kathy Bates as she won 3 awards for her acting.



If you think that's not scary enough, I suggest that you read the novel. It's way more brutal compared to the movie.

1/100 MG GN-001 Gundam Exia Ignition Mode (Finished)

Finally, managed to finish this guy. Took quite of my time, but he's finished. I've decided to go for the 'anime' look (no decals and clear stickers).

Next to 1/100 MG 0 Gundam  RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. One Year War (man, that's mouthful).

Overview:

Overall, this is a nice kit. Has a few problem, but nothing too serious (for me).

+tive side:

• decent articulation.
• all parts are molded in right color (almost no painting, just panel-lining).
• chrome-plated blades, LED unit and extra part to convert to Repair version (for Ignition mode).

-tive side:

• unable to replicate pose from anime.
• loose part on right hand, right thumb and one of the beam saber port (on the shoulder).
• extra part for converting into Repair version are nothing special (at least, for me as I have no use for it).

With that said, I humbly give this model kit a 4/5 point.
