BB GUNDAM QUANTA QAN[T]!!!!

                           I was gonna do the whole opening the box post with this kit but I picked him up before work and just couldn't wait so I started snapping him together on a dead day at the bakery.
                                                      The box the kit comes in with an awesome caricature illustration of Quanta.
                                                       The kit itself just after I had finished it at work. I really like that he came with a stand especially after I purchased a MG Quanta around the same time and found out it comes with a HG 1/144 stand and not a 1/100 stand which i thought to be a bit strange. This stand and the one that comes with HG 1/144 Quanta both match really well and fit the model itself perfectly.

              Thanks again ROBOGATO!!!

Opening the Box...1/100 HG Tallgeese

                                          A while back I picked up this 1/100 Tallgeese for Joey since he had a MG Heavyarms already and wanted to see what the HG 1/100's were like. Here's what was in the box.
                                       Box top cover showing a nice pic of the Tallgeese and Pilot Zechs Marquise .
                                               An awesome Zechs Marquise pilot figure is included.
                                                     Five bags total and the manual. Joey should have a good time building this kit. Its a nice addition to any gundam collection espcially if you're a Wing fan.

Justin's WIP 40k BAD MOON ORKS!!!

Justin has been working on his Ork army for some time now. With a rather large army to hand paint he has a lot of work ahead of him.

         
                                                      Bad Moonz Ork tribe with the bright yellows and very loud characteristics are a pretty big project to take on. Usually you would base coat in black but Justin decided to use a flat white to make sure and keep the yellow really bright and allow the green wash on the skin to completely outline any and all muscle features on each figure.
                                           His Battlewagon is coming along really nicely.

                                        Some closer details on the launcher up top.
                                  Inner details of the riders ready for side fire.
                            So far Justin has had a really good time working on this Ork army and hopefully they will hit the table soon amd see some action. More pics on this project soon!!!

Opening the Box.....1/144 AGE Zeydra!!!

                                                           This kit is one of my three favorite in the Gundam AGE series. From the colors to the sleek design, Zeydra stands out. After picking up the kit I took these pics and then immediately put it all together before I could post anything on it. Like a little kid I couldnt wait...so before I end up putting up pics of the finished kit, heres what comes in the box.
Box top cover is a really nice image of Zeydra in action.
                                           Manual and three bags of sprues. When I first opened the box I was surprised at how bright the colors of this kit actually are.
                                                              Manual has a few really nice examples pics of the Zeydra kit itself and background info, mainly in japanese of course. I suggest to any Gundam AGE fan.....go pick up this kit for yourself. Its well worth it!

Thanks again to RoboGato!!!

Rodney's MG Wing Zero Custom Paint Build!!!

                                          Rodney recently said he wanted to paint a MG Wing Zero that he received as a birthday gift. Seeing as he hadnt done anything like that yet I was all for it. After he decided on colors he went to work with some spray cans and clear coat seeing as we are still waiting on the air brush setup. These are a few pics we shot of the end result of Rodneys first paint on a MG.
                                                          To me the red and black made the whole kit look way more intimidating.

                                                           Overall it came out really well and I hope Rodney is happy with his work. It will be a great piece to display with the rest of his collection.

Joey's MG Heavyarms!

This was Joey's first master grade and seeing as this Heavyarms kit is pretty new I thought this would be a good start.
                                                                       He's one of the bigger Gundam Wing master grades with a lot of swing open panels with hidden launchers all over the front of the suit.

                                                                        All in all I think he really liked the build and look of this kit. Its an awesome addition to any collection and has amazing detail from head to toe.

       Order yours through RoboGato in El Paso Texas...WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/ROBOGATO

Opening the Box....1/144 HG AGE Zedas

After building a HG Titus I thought it might be cool to see the other AGE models besides the big three (Normal, Titus and Spallow) so i picked up Zedas from Robogato a few weeks back.


 
Box top cover is a really nice action shot of Zedas.

                                                                    Manual with quite a few picture examples of Zedas in normal and flight mode.
                                                                       With only three bags in the box this should be a fun evening build sometime soon. I'm kind of curious as to how different the build itself is on these models seeing as their construction is quite a bit different from your traditional mobile suit design.
                            Can't wait to see what else comes out in future AGE releases.

Opening The Box....HG 1/144 O-Gundam!!!

This HG O-Gundam kit looks awesome!! I'm really excited to have picked this kit up espcially seeing as its a really cheap but worth while addition to any OO collection. From the first episode of OO in that first scene where O-Gundam appeared I knew I had to have this one sitting on my desk.
 
                                                 Box top cover is an awesome shot of O-Gundam with the GN wings shining.
                                                  Everything that comes in the box including the manual, two bags of sprues and the sticker sheet.
                                                              The wings closer up. They are really nice and with light behind them they add a lot to the overall look an feel of this kit when its on display. Can't wait to start this build tomorrow!!

Opening the Box....1/100 Virtue & Nadleeh!!!

                                             One of my favorite OO series mobile suits Gundam Virtue comes in this super nice combination Virtue and Nadleeh Kit. With the option of leaving all the armor off and having Nadleeh or loading him up and bulking out for the awesome Virtue kit its hard to decide how to display this kit so i went with buying two for both versions.

                                            Box Top cover is awesome as expected from Bandai.
                                        Detailed pics on the box of the two versions of this kit.
                                           A really nice over head example of the Nadleeh version with all the armor for Vitue laid out in detachment order.
What you see when you open the box and lift the manual.
                                                 Seven bags in all and i cant wait to start the two that i picked up from Robogato!!

Opening The Box......1/100 Nix Providence!!!

Picked up this 1/100 Nix Providence that was in the previous bundle post from RoboGato. Lets see what it comes with.........
 
                                              Box top cover art is super clean as expected.
                                                      Good size instruction manual with the same cover pic as the box top.
           Five bags of sprues to work through and quite a few decal stickers came with him to mark the Librarian and Nix Prov labels all over him if you see fit.

Can't wait to start the full paint on this kit seeing as he is a beast. No doubt one of the bigger and more accessory packed kits I've seen so far.

 Thanks again and Keep Building!!!!!!
