Gunpla Review: 1/144 RG Strike Freedom · 1:49am Jan 20th, 2016
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.
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.
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.
Seven hours, nearly eight, really. That's how long it took me to complete the build on my very first Gunpla.
What are Gunpla and Gundam?
This is my first Real Grade kit, and I cannot make it clear enough that I cannot recommend this for beginners due to the complexity and length of the build. But if you have the patience and the dexterity to work with extremely small parts, and easy-to-lose transparent plastic pieces, go for it: the finished product looks _fantastic_!
Sorry for the delays, school started and I have been super busy. Things should go back to normal after this week when I've settled into it all.
So new chapter within the next couple hours. My way of taking a break in-between writing school essays.
Have the song the chapter's title will be based off of:
And also have an AMV about one of the minor characters of the arc I'm referencing from a show:
This is Fujin777 here,
Many of you are wondering when I'll be completing Assassinverse Green Vengeance and Shining Wing. Both of them are on hiatus for now until I can get my creative juices flowing to where I can write.
The snag with the first one is the final arc where everything comes together.
Welcome to The Mechaverse Project, the open story for fans of giant robots and ponies.
Right then!
These were commissioned at request. So I REALLY hope you all enjoy them! Be sure to tell the artist what you think!

I seem to be getting a bit lax checking in. Sorry about that. I’m just busy and forget to blog, and then I can’t think of what I want to say… so… anybody see any good movies or shows lately?
On Netflix, I watched 7Seeds, which was pretty good… not the best, but worth a try if you like post apocalypse anime. Home is… kind of awful? But it’s scary how much it grows on you if you keep watching it. Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans is quite thrilling, worth a watch even if you’re not into gundams.
It has been awhile since I've done one of these, huh? I wanted to wait until I had some truly exciting news for you, so that's why it has taken until July is almost already over.
Update: First Gear
