HGUC 1/144 Gundam F91 (Harrison custom) UNBOXING

So here is my first unboxing of the gundam F91 Harrison Martin custom kit. I've been holding back from buying this kit ever since it was released since there were other kits that got my attention.I went with this version instead of the original due to the fact that this one seems nicer with the colors, although the problem lies with the sticker sheet. So here some images of the unboxing showing the runners and manual.

HG 1/144 Gundam Throne Eins unboxing

Today I will be doing another unboxing post and this time is for the HG 1/144 Gundam Throne Eins from the Gundam OO series line. This is the first of the three gundam Thrones released for the first season of gundam OO. This unit is the leader unit of team Trinity and piloted by Johan trinity, sadly gets killed at the end of season 1. This kit is a very interesting kit in terms of the main color scheme which is mainly sort of a Dark red brownish color which you will rarely see in most gunpla kits. Out of the 4 kits released under the throne series, yes this includes Arche gundam, Throne Eins for me seems to have most of the gimmick and pose ability  value than the rest which vastly comes from the GN launcher it's equipped with. So let's get straight to the runner and manual review

 

1/144 HG Forever gundam unboxing

Today I'll be doing an unboxing of the HG 1/144 HG Forever gundam from the Gunpla builders beginning G OVA series. This kit mainly consists of the original RX-78-2 gundam 30th anniversary edition with added runners for the forever gundam parts. So you'll mostly be having quite a lot of extra parts from this kit. And yes you can build the original gundam if you wanted to. I will not be doing a review of this kit since I will be giving away to a friend of mine. So let's get to the picture of the runners and I'll give a rundown of each runner I guess.

Barbatos updates

Some updates on the Barbatos custom build. Finished with painting the major parts. Just need to assemble and do a few posing actions after its been fully assembled. I am still building the lance weapon that comes with the first IBO weapon set just to build thi custom kit, and I haven't actually thought of naming this yet.

 Fully assemble the torso, which I somehow prefer to build this first in any gunpla kit. Must be some weird fetish I guess.

 Both legs are done. Just left minor details to paint.

 Due to them being stickers originally, I just decided to paint it metallic purple on the leg armor parts.

After fully assembling the torso armor.

 Hand painted the A insignia on the shoulder and the left knee

 Pretty much now I just need to snap it up and take a few shots for the blog later on.

First Custom build in the Blog

Well for my first not so much custom build, here are a few additions I did on the recently released HG IBO 1/144 Gundam Barbatos. didn't went into much detail modding because I was already brainstorming on this years GBWC 2016 entry which I will be participating again.

Added some Plaplates on the front skirts to make it a little bit longer than it originally was. Turned out as what I was expecting.

Added some plaplates on the shins since it was looking quite bland to begin with. Also did a few panel scribing which I'm still trying to get used to it. I didn't took a picture of this but I also added some putty to bury the A symbol on the right knee.

 Added extra plaplates to extend the should part downwards.

 For the right leg where i removed the A insignia on the knee, I created a knife holster to be used with an armor Schneider from a NG 1/100 Gale Strike and stick it over the knee area. I also added plaplates on the side skirts to make it feel that it has more something on the sides of the legs.

 Had to grind the holder of the armor Schneider to have it fit with Barbatos' hands.

Odaiba Gundamfront visit

Okay, first things first, I'm sure most of you guys know of this place by now and some of you have probably gone there, during my trip to japan last August which me and a friend daringly went last minute with no plan whatsoever, we visited gundamfront at Odaiba, Tokyo. It was really a dream come true and was also one of my things to do in my bucket list. I went there not knowing what to expect except for the 1:1 scale gundam outside the mall and also the usual special limited edition kits they sell there. Came to my surprise was a large hall displaying every single gunpla they had ever made until the current series which was G no reconguista that time. I was amazed and slightly frustrated at the gunplas that was on my wishlist but never could get due to it being out of production. Well for those who wanted to see the hall, I managed to get a few shots of it since my camera was running out of battery. I'm not gonna show you in detail each box of kits they have since this will be a very long post.

 Some really old early production of kits from Zeta series. Notice most of the old kits are single colored. They mostly were intended to adults more I guess.

 One of the very kits that I wanted to get in Japan where the Virsago and Ashtaron from Gundam X. Too bad they couldn't be found anywhere.

I'll certainly bee visiting this place again when I visit japan again this year I hope. I'll also try to get pictures of stores in akihabara where it's ideal to get kits.

Welcome to my blog!!

Heya, Welcome to my blog about me doing unboxing, reviews and also custom builds of gunpla kits.  I have been an avid gundam fan from the past 15 years, started of with SEED franchise but mostly now stuck to UC era series. This blog will mostly focus on unboxing of gunpla kits I have in my possession and probably do some reviews of the kit in a quick snap build. I will also display progress on my no so much custom builds ( yes I'm still an amateur when it comes to modding). I will also do reviews of random kits other than gunplas mostly some non mecha kits that caught my attention. This blod is still in the works so please be patient with me. I'll probably upload my progress on a custom HG 1/144 Gundam Barbatos.
