1/100 Exia Avalanche

I've spent the last two days at home, and found things to be pretty boring. I was digging though some boxes and I found the 1/144 Tallgeese III that I bought when I was just getting back into Gunpla. I thought it would make a great addition to the action base I was going to use for the 00 Raiser Seven Swords. Then I found my 1/100 Exia Avalanche, and thought it might be cool to have a really beat up Tallgeese III at on the base and have the Exia hovering above looking like a total badass.

PS. Expect a MAJOR update soon. I've been taking pictures all evening and will be posting them soon (:

HG 1/144 GN-X III ESF Type

Since I'm not really able to go home at the moment, I can't photograph my finished Gunpla. But I do have a few images on my iPhone. The quality is alright, and isn't something I want to put in my gallery. However something is better than nothing.

Before - Snap fit

I've been working with a lot of 1/144 kits lately. I'm more of a master grade kind of guy, but these smaller grade kits are pretty fun and show a lot of potential once they're painted.

After - Primed and painted

I decided to go with a blue and white color scheme. The few inner frame pieces that are exposed are just primed. Same with the GN rifle. I tend to like the way primer looks more than I do anything else. Screw smoke grey and all that mess.

This ended up being the final product. I'm pretty happy with the results. There are still a few places that need fixed(like the horrible looking grey stickers on the hands and feet), but these things can be fixed later. I really like the stickers that I borrowed from my master grade 00 Quanta, and the 00 Raiser.

All in all, this was fun little build, I'm really looking forward to the next one.

///Update 1

00 Raiser/Seven Sword

The year is about to end, and 2012 is about to begin. I've finished quite a few kits this year, almost more than last year, but who really keeps track? I'm taking a little break from my Seravee GNHW/3G, and I've started priming an old 1/144 00 Gundam(Seven Sword/Raiser). Last year I bought two 00 Gundam Seven Sword kits, and an 0 Raiser with the idea that the 00 Gundam would look pretty sweet with a bunch of swords, and a ton of hardware strapped to it's back.

My plan isn't really well thought out on this build lol. I'm painting roughly three kits worth of parts, and I haven't really decided how I'm going to incorporate all of them into the final build. There might be some modification here and there, but I'm sure I can get things to work out.

I already have all of the inner frame parts painted, and I just finished painting 3/4 of the blue parts. I decided to paint the blue parts red, so I'm hoping that this guy turns out looking pretty sweet when I get things assembled.

///Update 1

Below I am dumping a large quantity of images. I couldn't figure out a way to modify the parts to incorporate every single sword, and still be able to use the 0 Raiser, so I took a bunch of shots with different weapons and equipment. Enjoy (:

Seravee GNHW/3G

First post on my new blog! I'm pretty excited to have a place to upload my current projects :D. I should have some images up soon. I'm currently modding and painting several 1/144 Seraphim Gundams, three to be exact. I'm also painting a 1/144 Seravee Gundam as well.

If you aren't really familiar with the Gundam 00 side story, 00V, there is a Seravee variation that has three Seraphim units mounted onto the back, but the design never panned out in the series, due to the fact that producing two more Seraphims seemed a little unnecessary since there was no real guarantee that Celestial Being would recapture Veda at the end of season two. So Celestial Being sent the Seravee out with the GNHW/B attachments as a secondary plan.

So essentially, I'm working on the Seravee GNHW/3G. And it is a beast.

///Update I

I've finished painting all of the gray and red pieces of Seravee and I've also just primed all of the black pieces, so I should be almost finished with him soon. I also need to snap fit two more Seraphim units, and then mod the knee pieces so they can store a GN rifle as well as a shield.

///Update II

Seravee is done! I've finished painting the GNHW/B parts, and am now completely finished with the Seravee Gundam. Now, moving on the snap fitting parts for the two remaining Seraphims, then some part modifications :3.

///Update III

I've been neglecting to update my blog :(. I've spent most of Christmas playing Skyrim and getting material gathered up for another project. I'm planning to build a base for my Seravee GNHW/3G. I've finished snap fitting all three Seraphim Gundams, and I've already painted two of them. One of the two is just a regular Seraphim, but the other is one of the two SEM units. And I must say, he looks like a beast. I'm pretty happy with the way he looks. It took quite a bit of time to figure things out on the knees. However I found a really effective way to mount a small shield, as well as the GN rifle. I'm still not sure what I want to do for the base, that is still in the planning stages. But until we get to that point, enjoy some WIP photos :D.

///Update IV

I have completely finished this massive build! Everything is painted up and ready for display. Unfortunately, my work bench and all of my Gunpla is over 100 miles away. Until I can go home and take some actual photos, this kit is going to be stuck in WIP limbo. I can however tease you with a few shots of the base I built for these guys.

The base consists of a foam bottom, with bits of extra parts, and glue and gravel mixture. The extra parts are from a master grade Exia(the Ignition mode to be exact). Since I used the parts for the Repair I, I had an extra arm and shield. I'm not really sure what the rest is from lol.



Here is the painted base. And unfortunately, the last picture I have of everything assembled ):

///Update V

Finally done! Here is a huge smelly dump of images. Enjoy :3.

I only took a few photos of this but, I finished a second Seravee 3G, and several extra SEM units. :D
