Susanowo from fellow GM, Shuffle Diamond Jack - thanks for this one.. ^^ |
Its been 2/12 months already since my last blog update, yup, quite busy after the New Year's revelry for 2012. But nevertheless, quite a shaky ride with my gunpla addiction.
First stuff, HG Trans-am Susanowo. I really find this kit so cool, makes me feel the power that emanates during its trans-am form. The marbling effect on the color theme itself is quite alluring.
|
Too cool to ignore so i grab one for keeps.. |
With the overwhelming appreciation of my first trans-am kit (Susanowo), i bend to target all trans-am unit and collect them. As i visit GTO Greenhills, i haven't found one so i opt to take home the Geara Zulu Guards type. I love how cool the MS looks.

Susanowo and Geara Zulu, hauls this January 2012 |
After quite a few weeks, the anticipated Full Armor Unicorn has finally arrived.
|
UFA - courtesy of my friend, online seller - ZeroFour Gundam |
First off, i assembled the Jaber base for size comparison against the RFA's TA weapon.
|
Quite big and rock solid - UFA's Jaber base |
And then followed suit by the UFA's backpack, test fitted on my Unicorn OVA.
|
Just one pair of gattling gun takes at least a day or two for me to complete.. imagine assembling 2 more pairs (total of 3 pairs for UFA).. |
I also found this guy addicted to gunpla, so i decided to keep one for myself..
|
Sgt Keroro seriously trying to get the job done.. |
Been trying to keep at pace with the UFA wip, now here's the partially completed backpack using the Unicorn OVA's shield.
|
Jaber, Gattling guns, 2 Bazookas and the backpack for UFA, quite time consuming.. |
|
Another view without the shield on.. |
And as advertised, Keroro's head can be used to a variety of gunpla model, this kit includes a connector to fit on these scales (HG/MG/SD/RG)
|

The glorified UFA is quite bulky, it is also quite repetitive on the build task (6 gattling guns / 3 shields / 2 bazookas), i thought it would never end..
|
Took me weeks just to finsh the weapons et al |
Finally, after a series of multiple, repetitive task..
|
Unicorn OVA + Unicorn FA + Jaber base |
With the addition of side wips, RG Freedom and HG AGE-1 Normal (courtesy of fellow GM - Mykel Balerite)

Did i miss saying that i grab another HG Unicorn (with headbase - from GTO Greenhills) and another trans-am kit from Shuffle.
|
Gundam Reborn Trans-am |
One trick for the chrome finish is to use the Magic powder as recommended by fellow GM - Kuya Doyzilla. Thanks Mykel for accomodating your time to fetch this one at GTO. ^^
|
MGM Magic powder - scraped just a lil to BF Astray's dagger |
Just found out (accidentally) that the excess powder on the cotton bud can still be use for weathering effect.
|
After wiping with a cotton bud |
My Geara Zulu's wip is in parallel with my elder brother's wip for his Macross 1/72 kit.
|
Snap built Geara Zulu - this will also be the first time i'll do some spray painting on a kit |
Unicorn Headbase - masked and sprayed with Gloss Aluminum
|
Quite fun on my first try - will be looking forward for more.. ^^ |
One of my targetted action base - Unicorn Action base, now 1 more is missing (Sinanju Action base)

The painted Unicorn Headbase - partially completed |
One of my growing backlogs - Jagd Doga Quess

Aside from completing a gunpla wip, another addition for the family eh? ^^

Unexpectedly - i bet this would be the last.. ^^ |
