Gundam in all guises

[Vector Prime]

Okay, so Gunpla is becoming a bit too addictive and I've gone a bit bonkers.

Picked up from Hobbyco the other day (since I was itching to build something 'simpler' following MG Sinanju):

1/100 HG Deathscythe Hell Custom
1/100 HG Sword Impulse

And I also have the following 1/100 stuff on order from overseas:

MG Strike Freedom
MG Astray Red Frame
HG Gale Strike Gundam
HG Astray Mirage Frame
HG Arios
HG Cherudim
HG Wing Zero Custom
HG Astray Gold Frame Amatsu
HG Exia
HG Avalanche Exia
HG 00 Gundam
HG Vent Saviour

I don't know how I'm going to find the time to build them all (since I've been neglecting other things in my life over the past week - including the gf) but I'm addicted to the 'build' - this new plastic crack addiction has turned me into a gunpla junkie.

Nice gundam pics. I might have to break my one and only gundam out of the stash.

Oh I know what you mean about going nuts and buying more than you can build. I'd say this is about half of my stash

Nice love the old Marlboro McLaren (isn't the tamiya kit pritty hard to find now days?) And where did you find the countach models the one in the first row 5 boxes down? built one years ago and loved it but broke it later

[gamblor916]

Wow VP you've been busy!

Rampagesss - Tamiya re-release stuff all the time, I'm sure that Mclaren kit is around. The countach is the Fujimi 5000S but the Aoshima ones are nicer. Most from HLJ.

[Vector Prime]

Wow VP you've been busy!

Yes I have been mate.

Over the past few days, I've completed the following:

HG Astray Blue Frame
HG Gale Strike
MG Zaku II
MG Strike Freedom (which is totally awesome!)

Will take pics of the others when I get the chance, but I just couldn't resist taking pics of Strike Freedom - this guy looks the goods!

[Stompy]

Awesome pics as always VP. Strike Freedom is the showpony of the gundam universe. All eyes ALWAYS go to that figure. MY PG version always gets the attention.

Anyhoo here's the Full Burst mode version I made a while ago. Basically the same kit with some gold chromed parts and some effect parts and stand for the dragoons:





Aaaaand Perfect Grade Strike Freedom.



Of course my pics are poor compared to yours.

[Vector Prime]

The shiny gold bits on the Full Burst version are awesome!

PG Strike Freedom is just pure win... I think he's in the running to be my first PG (if and when I decide to get a PG).

As for the quality of my pics, thanks, it's a shame you don't live in close proximity to me - I could shoot the hell out of all your Gundams for you.

It's simple, just keep neglecting the gf and eventually she wont want you around!

Vector Prime: Awesome pics of The Red Comet. Although it doesn't show just how clever the engineering is in pictures alone. The internal skeleton, mechanisms and gimmicks is strictly for the pleasure of the builder. Also, nice list there. I'd suggest 1/100 Avalanche Exia.

Vector Prime & Gamblor: Also, totally understand the addictive nature of these things. You should see my unbuilt pile:
- NG: 1
- HG: 28
- RG: 3
- MG: 12
- PG: 2
- SD: 16
- Other: 7 (Danball Senki / LBX & Pokepla)

kurdt: Hilarious! But you can balance the time eventually. You also get gunpla'd out every now and then.

[Vector Prime]

Gamblor: Wow, that's a lot of unbuilt kits! Build the ARTA NSX next.

Kurdt: Lol... she's been very patient and has happily sat around giving me a hand trimming the parts off the runners (but we'll see how long that lasts)

Stompy: That's enough Gundam to last a lifetime there mate - send a couple up to Sydney and I'll happily give you a hand building them (especially the PGs)
