Got a package #3: SD/BB Banshee, RG gundam mkII and MG Strike gundam + I.W.S.P.

So this has been a while that I posted something here. In the past months I have build 2 kits. The SD/BB Banshee and the RG zeta gundam, but posts comming for them later on.

In the meantime I have gotten 3 kits. The SD/BB Banshee which I got as a pressent from friends for my birthday. Which is a really nice and simple kit to build. It will keep you busy for a couple of hours and in the end with all the gold plastic and stickers it looks really good.

Got a package #2: PG Strike Gundam

This has been a while ago, so I got a new package the PG Strike Gundam. This is one that has been on my wish list for a long time.

Here are a few pictures:

I got a package #1

Hello again, so yes I know the title isn't original.

So today I got my first resin kit delivered home, the Super G recast of the NeoGrade 1/24 Gundam evolve 8 strike head & cockpit + LED system. As you may already know I am a huge SEED fan. And this looked like a good kit to start with resin. As I look at it I think the casting quality is overall good, just nubs and extra bits, haven't spotted any airbubbles yet.

PG GP01/fb video

Hello again. For this special gundam kit I made a short video where I talk a bit and have a slide show. So if you want to hear and see more about this kit:

Perfect grade GP01/fb

So this is my latest gunpla build. The first one I panted completely. It is the mother of all perfect grades, the box maybe only dwarfed by the 1/144 HG Dendrobium but not by much I bet. This PG is essentially 2 gundams in one box and an MS hangar. You get the ground type and all the necessary parts to turn it into the spacetype. This gundam from the OVA 0083 Stardust memory is one of my most favourite gundams. That series is one of my favourite too next to the SEED universe. And together with the fact that I like big models this makes the PG GP01/fb perfect for me. So after a long time I got this kit and from seeing it from youtube video's I expected it to be big, but when I got it it was huge, really huge, much bigger then I expected compared to my PG strike freedom box.

MG Wing Gundam EW version

So I am nearing the end of the gunpla I currently have. I did not expect to buy this particular kit. I was looking in the store and was actually looking at the MG strike + IWSP. But after a conversation with someone else who was looking for a kit in the store I began to doubt and couldnt make up my mind. So I went looking for more kits, then hidden away behind the stacked gunpla kits I found the MG Wing gundam EW.

 You dont want to have this one walking up to you like this.

MG Aile Strike

So this is my 2nd proper gunpla kit I got this a few weeks after I got my PG strike freedom. As I told with the PG SF the gundam seed universe contains my favourite gundams. So it was obvious I would pick a gundam from that universe, that became the Aile Strike. I am a huge fan of the strike and all its striker packs. My goal is to have all the striker packs in MG, as there is also a sword + launcher strike model. It would've been perfect if the sword and launcher packs would have been available too for the PG but sadly those don't exist(yet?).

So about this kit, did not paint it, but this kit was my first try at panel-lining, personally I think I could've done a few less panel lines but I am still happy with the result, I just used a fine tip 0,1 permanent marker for the lines. Furthermore I really like that special action base that came with it so it is fully displayable in its launching position even with the charging plug attached to it as seen in the anime.

Now for some pictures(I dont have much pictures of this kit and I believe they are made with my phone the Galaxy S2) :

Perfect grade Strike Freedom

Ok here is my first proper gunpla model, the PG strike freedom, technically this isnt my first ever gunpla model, I have build 2 non grade strike gundams that I bought years ago on an animecon, I don't count these in my gunpla collection because they are easy, no skill required and 1 of them is thrown away already and the other I use to test painting tricks on for future models at the moment.

The PG strike freedom is the most expensive perfect grade out there, with its wings open its a huge suit. Luckily it comes with an action base to support it because with the wings on the suit its a heavy and a real back heavy suit. I bought this kit because I love the Gundam SEED universe, and the Strike Freedom is my favourite gundam suit of all times. I did not paint, panel-line or put the decals on this kit at the time of making the pictures, and so far I have only panel-lined the model and put on a few of the sticker decals, I am considering to get water-slide decals for this kit but not yet at this moment of writing.


Now for some pictures of the model:

The box, as you can see the boxart looks really good.

The beginning

Hi,

I am Lorri(just a nickname that stuck lol) and I am reasonable new to gunpla, but not a beginner in plastic model building nor an expert, I know my way around, how to solve problems that arise. I am new to painting models, I have only done that once before painting a gundam kit. In the first few posts I will show the current gunpla models I have built. and after those posts I will slowly add more models when I get around to building or buying new models and accessories. And probably also plans I have for models I want to get.
