I've been thinking about how I wanted to write a crossover with the Gundam Universal Century.

I finally got around to assembling the final pieces for my custom job on the HGBF Super Fumina, which I call the Star Wish. For this custom the kits I used are:
1. HGBF Super Fumina: the base unit.
2. HGBC Powered Arms Powereder: functional arm vulcans.
3. HGBC Kurenai Weapons: beam rifle and long blade.
Yeah, I've been sitting on this for awhile. It takes time to figure things out, so let me share my wisdom with you here.
Let me be clear: this is two kits, not one. The only way to get these two together is with the Trans-Am kit, which is either overly-expensive or sold-out. To do these two justice, I believe they must be reviewed together, since that is when they are truly complete. Annoyingly enough, I'm not even being symbolic here.
If you need background on Gunpla, please see my review on the Star Build Strike.
This is my first, and probably only, mono-eye model, considering most of them do not have as good articulation, or their accessories are incomplete or do not fit will. If there is one thing you can say about the Blue Giant, it is that it has great articulation for something so bulky, and its accessories fit it to a tee.
This one took me between 4.5 and 5 hours to build, partly because I was painting as I went. I used silver marker under the clear blue pieces, and of course I painted the sword and end of the scabbard. I would have used black marker instead of the stickers for the shoulders and ankles, but mine don't stay well if you're going to touch it often.
