HG AGE-FX Complete!

 

The AGE-FX I received for /r/gunpla's Secret Santa is done. Technically, it's been done for a couple days. I've just been lazy to finish building the light box. Last night I had some extra time, so I got around to it and spent a few more hours taking the pictures. Taking pictures for this kit wasn't as easy as it was for the SD Strike, probably because of the extra articulations this kit comes with. It'll be apparent in the pictures, but I'm a total novice when it comes to photographing. You'll notice lots of changes in lighting from picture to picture and in some the figure isn't even upright. I apologize for those mistakes and ask that you guys overlook those mistakes.

HG AGE-FX WIP 2 + New Items!

Even though it's late, Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all have a great 2013 filled with Gunpla! I know I'm excited to see what Bandai has in store for 2013, especially for the RG line. 

New Items

To start off here is a group shot of everything I got in the past couple weeks.

RG Freedom WIP 2.5 + HG AGE-FX WIP 1

The holidays this year was pretty good for me and I hope everyone else had a great time. I did get some more Gunpla for myself (darn you sales!) as well as Gunpla gifts from others. I'll be posting the pictures of my new items in my next post since I forgot to take them for this post. Anyways, here's my progress report:

RG Freedom WIP 2.5? Why the 0.5? Well, that's because I haven't progressed enough with it to justify calling it WIP 3. So what have I done with it? I got the 3rd party water slide decals, have placed some on the kit, and cleaned up some messy panel lines.

RG Freedom WIP #2 + New Items!

It's been nearly 2 weeks since my last post, but I'm back with some more updates. Before I get into the Freedom, I'd like to show off a couple great items. First is /r/gunpla's secret santa gift exchange over at reddit:

After getting home late, a box from modelgrade was waiting for me in front of my door. It was too early for the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka to come so I knew it would be from my secret santa. I excitedly opened the box as soon as I got in and saw my nicely wrapped gift (good job on the wrapping modelgrade!). I decided to leave it wrapped until Christmas, but the next morning I couldn't wait so I unwrapped it as soon as I got up. Here's my thought process:

Nicely wrapped. I wonder what it is!
