cheevo quest

it's been my new hobby and i've been enjoying it a lot. started getting into it when i went to a bandai namco store and saw just how cheap some of the kits were. i'll be splitting this up to avoid making individual posts too long


my first kit was the hguc zeta revive, it's an overall easy build with the pieces designed to be single cut off the runner, and fun even with some weirdness in the shoulders and all the red stickers. now it's become my test model for various techniques.

Oh nice!! I've somehow managed avoid buying a full-size Zeta... just the ZII and some SD Zetas.
Here's some I built near the end of last year: the HGUC Gelgoog Cannon and the SD G-Gen Zaku II. I have more SD Zakus that I need to make...

next kit - the hg aerial


i highly recommend this kit. a very easy snap together build that i was able to finish in and afternoon, with great detail and colors throughout, and the stickers under the clear plastic works great.

next was my first real grade - the epyon


one of my favorite overall gundam designs and the real grade definitely does it justice. i love the light piping for the eyes and head camera and all the little details and it's just so fun to pose with the wings spread open.

next is the p-bandai hguc hyaku shiki with gold coating. by pure coincidence i finished it during golden week.


i've been watching through zeta gundam and i absolutely love the hyaku shiki's design. i can understand why they don't want to add gold plating to mass produced high grades anymore but i'm a sucker for shiny plastic and the coating gives it the extra flourish worthy of a [s]char[/s] quattro suit. also lost the antenna somewhere so i'm never getting that back.
