MG Blue Frame Astray 2nd Revise

This was my birthday gift from my wife. ^_^ (i managed to tricker into buying me one. hehehe). Just kidding, anyway, of all the gunpla I have, she liked my master grade red frame so much, i manage to convince her that the master grade blue frame will be a perfect display shelf partner to him. And the rest is history. She didn’t know what to get me for my birthday, so I used the inception method (yes, the movie) and lead her to believe that this is what “she wants” to give me, but we all know that, it is what “I want” her to give me.

Head is very detailed. Unlike the red frame, his V-fin is inside his head armor (or helmet). which means it wont fall of very easily (like the red frame does). I almost resembles the helmet of a dirt bike rider.

Arms are exactly like the MG red frame (its just blue instead of red). that means it comes with all is awesome articulation, details and glory (if there are any).

Legs are also the same. With a few exemptions. like a retracting blades on the feet and daggers on its hips. Other that that (and the blue color), its molded the same way.

He is the blue frame side by side with the red rame. even thought its obvious that they are suppose to be the same. I still don’t feel like they are. small details make a big difference. tactical arms, shoulder armor, helmet, etc.

MG 1/100 Shin Musha Gundam Sengoku no Jin (with Display Base)

The moment I got this kit, i was so excited to build it. I did a lot of googling on how this would look like during and after building. Hmmm, just to get it right. No mistakes ^_^. And the moment I start building and cutting away from the tree, i forgot to start to document and take photographs. hehe. anyway, as you can see I started the gallery with the body and arms already built.

Im not sure If you would notice. I disassembled the head 2 times. why? the sticker where the headcamera (just on top of the v-fin), keeps on shifting the moment i put the head all together. and after 3 tries, it still wont stay in place. in the end I just gave up and will paint this instead. >_<

and I love the this kit’s inner leg frame. its so awesome. I do hope i you can notice it. I did a couple of macro shots for you to see. Its basically built from the tree, all you need to do is to cut it off and basically move some parts around.

Now for the waist/skirt area. like all master grades. this is the last to be constructed (based from the manual). and I must say, this must be the most cool front skirts i have ever seen. It has that shrimp like joints (i just wish they did the same on the back skirts). But hey, its still awesome.

I was trying to cut some pieces, and i cut my self bad. well not THAT bad, but it was bad enough for me to curse this kit for a couple of seconds. But after taking a look at it again. My anger went away and felt peace once again ^_^.

I still need to add some paint on the boosters to make it more metallic. It very plastic looking from behind.

time to work on the weapons and display base.

just after constructing it, i displayed it right where our new LCD TV. And it looked good. ^_^. Next I will try to add some panel lines and paint some minor details on the pumps, hydraulics and boosters. to make it more awesome than it already is.
