Looks like I'm gonna have a blast building this kit. ^^;

1/100 MG GNX-603T GN-X

Finally I've finish this kit. As always, I did minimal painting with this kit.

Right side view.






















Back side view.




































Fully armed.

















With beam saber on left hand.
















Beam rifle with long barrel.


















With cockpit opened. I choose Soma Peries as the pilot since there isn't much love for female pilot in Gundam lately. Note that this is not my 1st time painting a 1/100 scale figure.


















Size comparison; next to 1/100 MG GN-001 Gundam Exia. GN-X is slightly taller than Exia.


Final verdict:
Being the first MG outside of Universal Century-line that isn't a Gundam, it's a pretty good kit itself. This kit also opens a possibility for a release of other MG GN-X variations in the future. This kit however has a lot of problems, but still it's not that of a big deal.


You'll love
  • Solid design
  • Decent articulations
  • Cheaper than a normal MG Exia
You'll hate:
  • Floppy legs
  • small feet aren't strong enough to support this kit's weight.
  • The binders. The top are on a secured connection but floppy while the bottom one pops of way too easily.

My score for this kit: 4.5 out of 5.0.


A little something extra ^ ^;

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.
