Narrations

I've been a fan of robots or mecha anime since I was young. I think I was influenced by Macross or Robotech when I was young and so Macross(not Robotech) remains my favorite. I always wanted my own model and about two weeks ago I was given my own at last. A 1/144 HG Chaos Gundam from Gundam Seed series.
Eddy, my classmate is an avid collector and possesses the tools to make a good model. To keep it simple I'll just show you some pics.

Eddy placed his collection in front of me to inspire me....

The little bits on the ground are the stuff I'm working on.

Chaos wears a Spartan helm!!

Basically the parts come in pieces like..

...this

We need to pry them out, cement them together, put in the joints, sand-paper and then...

...spray


Parts with the first undercoat, another layer of the actual colour needs to be sprayed


Even the paints have a special brand


Vijay busy snipping the parts and reading the manual

Despite of all that, I'm only 70% done with it, most probably be completing it the next two weeks. Here's a showcase of...

Eddy's 1/100 NG Astray Red Frame..note the huge ass katana


And his 1/100 NG Gold Frame Amatu Custom that he completed yesterday...shiny

Gundam 00, this year's Gundam series is currently airing. Also modeling means modeling Gundam models, I'm in no way strutting any catwalk :D For more into the intricate world of Gundam modeling, see this Danny Choo post.
