[Completed][PG] RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam Banshee Norn Full Psycho-Frame Prototype Mobile Suit (With LED Unit) - [Updated 9th January 2016]

The next Perfect Grade kit after Unicorn comes the Banshee Norn! Featuring it's Grenade Launcher that attached to the Beam Magnum, Armed Armor XC and Armed Armor DE, this is the next massive PG kit I had. The box itself is slightly thicker than the PG Unicorn kit due to the additional parts, and yes, I managed to get another LED set from HLJ =D

Armed Armor VN and Armed Armor BS currently selling as Premium Bandai, which I will get it and then put all the Armed Armor parts onto the Banshee lol..

[MB] ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam Metal Build Edition

The next (and the last) Metal Build kit I would get, the Strike Freedom. Finally a set with my old Metal Build Destiny lol.. But I must say that the design is so damn cool, and the joints as usual are very strong as was previously seen on Destiny.

I had the urge to take my old Destiny out to do some pose shots together again lol...

[Completed][RG] XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero EW Colonies Liberation Org MS - [Updated 6th July 2015]

The next RG kit I'm doing is the Wing Zero. I had bought this quite some time ago, just that I didn't touch it as I was busy focusing on my exams and building my GBWC entry and special kits (the SG50 Gundam and the Zaku Docks at SG event) which I wanted to build first. Now that all those are out of the way, I can start building this kit up lol...

Build by the great Meijin Kawaguchi (modified by PPSE works) from Gundam Build Fighters anime series, I really like the looks of this kit and it's backpack unit which is a bird-like weapon lol...

First kit to mark the start of my new project, the Darkness Mobile Suit project. This wasn't really part of my DMS plan initially until I realized that I still had enough leftover parts from my Banshee Norn and plus I still had the red Psycho Frame parts still not used, so I was thinking "Why not just make something out of it under the DMS project?" So voila, there we have it, the Dark Unicorn Emperor lol...

This is not part of Project Evolution, so it's two different Unicorns. They are like brothers fighting with each other. That's about it for now lol.. Until when I'm more or less figured out how the plot goes, this is as much as I can made up now lol...

This kit won't be subjected to much focus as I'm only using leftover Unicorn parts but still would be putting in the same effort as of what I do with my HMS kits normally. But however, for this DMS project it will have two Emperors. The other Emperor will be the epic one and as ausual, the last kit to be build lol...

No Armed Armor XC and DE in this kit, maybe considering the DE... (I still got the bootleg DE parts lol...)

List of parts used for this kit:
- MG Unicorn Banshee Norn (without chest mane, Armed Armor DE & XC) as the base
- Red Psychoframe parts from MG Unicorn OVA
- Water decal sheet from MG Unicorn Banshee Titanium Finish Version
- Special Beam effect parts from HD Builders bonus pack

List of Tamiya Spray Paint used:
- TS-06 Matt Black (For main armor parts)
- TS-85 Bright Mica Red (For selected armor parts)
- TS-38 Gun Metal (For Darkened Internal Frame)
- Light Gray Primer Surfacer (1st coating for priming, for selected armor parts)

[Completed][PG] RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Full Psycho-Frame Prototype MS (With LED Unit) - [Updated 17th January 2015]

Yes!!! The Beast of Possiblities has arrived finally!!! =D I was already accepting the fact that it will only comes in at the end of the month, and then suddenly, Bang! It arrived lol... I went there first thing right after Hobby Art posted an update about it an hour or so ago.

This marks my 4th Pg kit and also the most expensive out of the 3 PGs I had. LED unit was purchased seperately so it's not compulsory to have it with the PG kit.

*Update: Let me finish up my Rick Dom first, this was really unexpected lol...

[Completed][MG] MS-09R Rick-Dom Principality of Zeon Mass Productive MS - [Updated 25th December 2014]

Initially I wanted to save my free time to build the PG Unicorn, but since it's has "destined to be arriving by end of this month from HAW, I had no choice but to get this to kill some time. I had always wanting to get this, seeing that this guy was so popular among the builders as grunt units were the easiest to customize.

Side note here... Build Burning Gundam not included. Cos ppl still got mind blown that a gundam was actually hidden in a Dom from the 1st episode of GBF Try lol...

[Completed][MG] RX-93-V2 Hi-Nu Gundam Ver. KA Amuro Ray's Customize MS - [Updated 7th December 2014]

It's a while since I last build my kits lol... I'm kinda back from my short hiatus of building Gunpla but won't be doing as much as I did last time lol... To start things off, I finally got this kit, which is what I wanted all along too alongside with Nightingale but sold out lol... I bought it at a promotional price at Hobby Art Work so it's quite worth the buy lol...

I do have some plans on customizing this as part of my Dark Mobile Suit project... But it's tentative, so it's not confirm yet lol...

[Completed][SD] BB Legend Command Gundam - [Updated 10 October 2014]

Another SD kit which I had shown in my earlier haul. It was actually part of the Gundam Build Fighters anime and most importantly, it was built by Aila Jyrkiainen where she somehow got this kit from Takeshi Lori who was under disguise of an old man. That episode certainly made me laugh alot haha....

This kit was made last as I was gathering some leftover parts that I had built from my previous Unicorn Gundams and other kits. Don't ask me how I came up with all this armaments name and abilities, they just came out of my mind, just like that lol... This should be the most number parts being swapped/added to it... You could consider this as kit bashing, since I'm adding on so many different parts to it lol... And I promised to myself that this kit will be epic (because it's the Emperor we are talking about) and the perfect way to conclude my HMS project.

*Updated 20 May 2014: This kit will be placed last as I'm waiting for the MG Banshee Norn to arrive. (It has arrived already lol...) So once everything has been settled I will begin work on it earliest in around July 2014 hopefully... (Postponed till around Ocotber 2014).

I will be updating this post from time to time. So any latest pics I took will usually be added at the end of this post.

Latest Haul for September!

I haven't quite posting my latest haul in here lol... My last haul was the Neo Zeong which had sucked me dry.. I'm still in the midst of saving my money back again, so this haul is not much but mostly the leftover outstanding items that has yet to ship out.

Firstly, from HLJ, my regular hang out XD I'm very well-aware that the SD Unicorn Phenex is not chrome-plated gold unlike the MG Phenex due to high cost. Totally understandable for this, so I would be doing something about it ;)

Secondly, I bought this exclusive AGP MS Girl Unicorn Banshee from GKGundamKits website. This was my first visit to this website, and they deal with exclusive kits like the Premium-Bandai kits. Note that I had censored some of my personal details from there.

Lastly, I went to buy some spray paints and happen to pass by HAG. So I drop by take a quick look, and found what I want XD

Yup.. the SD Command Gundam what I was waiting for in HLJ (but was backordered lol)

That's about it for my haul this month =)

[Completed][MG] RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn Exclusive - [Updated 7 August 2014]

Finally a MG Banshee Norn, as a P-Bandai exclusive =.=''' That aside, I like the majestic feeling of this kit when it's in destroy mode, especially the Armed Armor XC and DE, which is why I'm considering to add it to my Holy Unicorn Emperor kit.

Unicorn is no stranger to me, seeing that I had built MG of these many times already lol...

[Completed][HG] NZ-999 Neo Zeong Neo Zeon Full Frontal's Customize MA - [Updated 3 August 2014]

The big red machine has finally landed! (In my workplace that is =P) I will attempt to finish this up within 4 hours (Or less hopefully) and place it at my cubicle XD This Neo Zeong stands at the height of 86cm and has a total of 6 arms! Really is impressive lol... I would love to include this as part of my DMS project but I don't think I would have the money again to buy another one, let alone the limited space I had at home lol...

And of course I will clear up all the debris in here lol... =)

[Completed][HG] 'Fortune' Beargguy III (San) Father's Day Special Customized - [Updated 5 July 2014]

Father's Day is coming very soon on the 15th June, and since I had recently did a Cutie Beargguy III for my mother on Mother's Day, I'm going to make another (Beargguy III) for my father, except that it's not the Cutie version of course lol... And both the Fortune and Cutie Beargguy III will become a set =D

My father likes only money (well, everyone likes money, who wouldn't? Lol...) so I'm gonna make one that nearly looks like a golden bear, decorated with some money (and gold perhaps??? They're both fake ones, I won't put real money in it lol...) around it, and that's about it I guess.

Just my initial plannings for the decors, might change later. But the color for Fortune Beargguy has been confirmed.
