MG XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms EW Version (Built & Painted)













The Gundam Heavyarms was one of the primary Gundam Mobile Suit's of the Gundam Wing anime series. It later appears in the Endless Waltz: The Glory of Losers manga and later inducted the first and second version fusion to the line Master Grade kit! Pilot of this explosive Gundam, Trowa Barton would be proud as this best of both worlds Gundam Heavyarms lives up to its name by sporting the amazing amount of missile pods on its shoulders, skirt, and legs and if that wasn't enough he also carries around that massive gun! What's more, Gundam Heavy Arms is further refined by the legendary Katoki Hajime. 

Hatch gimmicks on missile pods and array of missile launchers draped all over its body which allows for the re-creation of many poses. When it's finished, it's very awesome especially with those Katoki-designed markings. Among its many gimmicks are fully articulated missile pod hatches, so you can open or close as many of them as you want! It comes with new, redesigned weapons like the shield and knife, which Mr Katoki specially arranged for this MG kit. This Gundam packs quite the punch with its gatling gun has a bullet tank mounted on the kit’s back that provides bullets through the ribbon cable to the gun.

HG 1/100 Tallgeese I + Zechs Merquise Figure












Tallgeese I of those classic mecha from Gundam Wing. Nevertheless, the kit is fully convertible, you can build any version at all of the Tallgeese as the model kit includes parts to build either Tallgeese I, II, or III (some painting may be required due to colour differences between forms). I had mine built and painted as Tallgeese 1. Not too bad for a 20 year old kit if you are not particular with limited movement. 

The Tallgeese I is a very unique looking and well designed Rome soldier looking kit. The beam sabers are stowed behind the round buckler. The dober gun and buckler hang from the joints at the ends of the shoulder armour. I will probably paint the shield in future. My Zechs Merquise figure is from the North America release of Gundam Wing Hero Collection which comes together with other characters from the same series. Pretty cool as it is pre-painted.

Robot Damashii (Side MS) OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 + Assault Booster Action Figure




Flip parts on the mobility boost thrusters, covering or exposing the inlets/outlets






Insignia on the shield

Accelerate rifle can be mounted to the shield





Solid joints articulation is impressive with fluid movement








The OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 is a mobile suit that appears in the novel New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit. There is Gunpla release of this Gundam ages ago and this Robot Damashii version sure is a big surprise to fan of the novel! Combine with intricate detail and superior articulation, this deluxe robot action figure comes complete with B-UNIT, which gave the Geminass space mobility boost thrusters on its shoulders, legs, and backpack, accessories which can be attached on the shoulders and leg areas. 

It is painted really well (check out the insignia on the shield) and solid joints articulation is impressive with fluid movement. The Geminass suits were the first of Dr. Berg's experimental G-UNIT mobile suits, based loosely on the original OZ-00MS Tallgeese design. This Gundam comes from the manga side story "Gundam Wing: Dual Story G-Unit." Plenty of gimmicks like flip parts on the mobility boost thrusters, for steering and covering or exposing the inlets/outlets. 

Geminass 01 was painted white and blue with red details and piloted by Odin Bernett, this fully posable prototype Gundam stands about 12.5 cm tall, same height as their 1/144 scale Gunpla counterparts. Comes with three optional hands, the Assault Booster set, the Accelerate rifle, the G-unit shield, and two beam swords stored in backpack recharge racks. The Accelerate rifle can be mounted to the shield. Lotz of thanx to Stanley for this great gift!

HG 1/100 Scale Gundam Wing Serpent Custom - Built & Painted








I did a repainted to my Serpent Custom with white and baby blue over the dull khaki colour scheme, so it would look more Gundam like. Initially, I wanted to blue/white scheme alike the Sangokuden BB Xu Huang Serpent Custom however I got the colour wrong and blue ended up baby blue instead of naval blue. Quite the amateur work as I did not patty to fill up those seam lines. Added some water-slide decals so that it that it looks less plain. 

Built with toughness like tank, Serpent Custom equipped itself with double-barrel gatling guns in both arms, just like the ones Heavy Arms Gundam Custom is having. I have sprayed the weapons black and done dry brushing with silver paint. With its stout built, Serpent Custom could carry weapons, deemed too heavy from other MS like the bazooka as well as beam cannon attached to the backpack even under the force of gravity. An earlier Gunpla in HG grade but in 1/100 scale, a preferred size for me in projecting the hunk of Serpent Custom on display.
