That’s Zero Gravity Maneuver Fighter by the way. Just in case you care. I don’t really, but you might.

As I previously stated I bought my newest Gundam model off a sale on Tomopop from Stella. Well, I got the chance this weekend to put him together and I think he turned out quite well. This is definitely the cleanest looking one I’ve made so far.

Here’s how he came from Stella:

Here's the whole package I got. She even included some pocky-like candy.

Didn’t bother to take any pictures of the building process. So here he is finished, and showing off his weapons. Again, click the images for larger versions.

I used metallic paints again, just like with Exia

The double saber splits into two individual ones.

The two guns combine to form one big one

And here’s the final pose I decided on.

And the top of my shelf now.

The image quality for these are a bit odd I know. The problem is that the two lights I have are of different spectra. The one on the left is a natural spectrum bulb with a filter, while the one on the right is a normal bulb. So the point is, the left half looks better than the right half (except in the last photo where the two lights are switched. I really need to make a photo box.

Now I have a bit of a rule that I need to have seen the anime of any figure/kit that I get. In this case, this meant that I needed to watch both Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, which I did. I liked Seed quite a bit, even though I thought it moved way to slow at the beginning. Destiny was. . . not the best. It was alright when the characters from Seed were in it, but whenever it centered on the new characters the whole thing went to hell.

I normally like swords over blasters with my Gundams, but I couldn’t in good conscious give him beam sabers when his signature is to beam spam. So guns it is. I like the double beam sword that he came with, but that’s more of a Infinite Justice thing. So whenever I get Infinite Justice he’ll have a double beam saber.
