Review: HG 1/144 - 0 Raiser
Model Number: GNR-010
Pilot: Saji Crossroad
1st Appearance: Gundam 00 (2nd season)
Manufacturer: Celestial Being
Review:
First of all this 0 Raiser came from the 00 Gundam (Condenser Type) kit. The only difference it has from the other 0 Raiser models are the details, specifically on the cockpit. Aside from that the features are still the same. I put in some panel lines and decals for additional details.
Despite the 0 Raiser being a vehicle model, it still has an articulation of it's own. The tail can wiggle and the end part can flip which is done when the 0 Raiser is about to be attach to the 00 Gundam. Most of the features are on the side binders. There are a lot of movable parts and it can even flap open. My only concern is that it wriggles easily and falls off. But I guess it's designed that way so that it could easily attach to the GN Drive. Another extra feature of the 0 Raiser are the GN Blades attached on the side binders.
I enjoyed taking pictures of the model. My shots focused on it's details and features. It's a good thing the kit came with a display stand. Overall, the 0 Raiser is a great model. I can't believe I would have this much fun building a vehicle model. I might consider getting the RG 1/144 - Sky Grasper after this. I'm excited on attaching the 0 Raiser to the 00 Gundam. So look forward to my Gundam 00 Raiser post and thanks for viewing.

Gundam Hello Kitty
Who would buy this thing?!
Although the Hello Kitty Gundam doll is cute, bet your Gundam gf would want this.
But the pink Gundam is too much.

MG 1/100 - Strike Freedom (WIP Part 1: Inner Frame)
We just finished the inner frame of the MG Strike Freedom. It was hard to cut off the gold parts from their runners due to their thickness. It was even harder to remove the nub marks. It's a good thing they will be covered by the outer frame.
On the chest you will see the cockpit, wherein you'll be putting the pilot (Kira). We tried moving all the joints and so far the articulation is great. But the connection of the arm to the shoulder is a bit loose. We're hoping this will be fixed once the outer frame is applied.
Well, that's about it for the inner frame of the MG Strike Freedom. We're still in the process of completing the model. So stay tune and look forward for more updates.
