HG Gundam Exia R2 vs Gundam O

Just got my hand on this 2 mecha! Really like the box arts of it and to me this was also my favorite scene in Gundam OO season 2, all i could said is back to the origin with no fancy Trans-Arm and bulky weapons.





Definitely worth a watch... and ever since the Turn A gundam i have never watch any nice close quarter combat in Gundam for 9 years. Hope the upcoming Gundam Unicorn will be a great Gundam Anime series since it is back to our beloved Universe Century!



Lets end this with a video, i will try speed building this 2 mecha as soon as possible! It been years since i did anything like that (last one was my Gundam Throne Eins).

Zegapain Altair

Did this a long time ago (1 month ago), this is another great anime that i strongly recommended to those that havent watch it.





The design is kind of like the Matrix type, the story is also something like it. Sometimes i wonder what is the thing that separate the AI and a human being, is it the soul or just the ability of feeling, lol talking of so reminds me a lot on Ghost In The Shell.



I paint the frame of this mecha using the Gaia Metalic color and Silver color, wanted to test out the LED in the chest but cant find any batteries for it.



The trasparrent green parts are nicely done, wonder why Bandai didnt milk us with the other color variation of the Altair. Is it because of poor sales?



I find it hard to pose, the weapon of this mecha is too heavy and it joint cant hold it up for long. Anyway the articulation of this kit is quite poor, and overall it is really clumsy. A lot of the parts could be done better and reduced the amount of seam lines.
