Crossbone Gundam

Crossbone Gundam - full armor (anti beam coating).

Ouch... it seems the last post doesn't take too many attention, and i think this post will be as unpopular as that post. So, yeah... let's just move on to the content.

This is Crossbone Gundam, and this post will be filled only with pictures and small rants, because i just want to take a photoshoot of this Crossbone Gundam, and also fulfill my bro's request of Crossbone photos. Actually, I've also done a photo of Nyx at the same session with Crossbone, so just expect Nyx as the next figure photos post.

Crossbone Gundam without armor, looks dull and too thin.

I don't know where Crossbone Gundam came from, or the origins, or whatever. My bro's also doesn't know where it came from. My bro decided to buy this Gundam because this Gundam is full of cool weaponry. Too bad this Gundam can't really stand firm and hold its weapons strong enough.

Well, I'll stop ranting here and let all this photos do the talking...

Pretty scary face.

This plane as the cockpit, works just like Force Impulse.

And this how it looks when that small cockpit plane attached on the body.

The coolest weapon, crossbow.

The cutlass, a must have weapon for space pirate!

The scary giant sword, kinda hard to make Crossbone holds it tight.

A whip and... what?

The cutlass hilt combined with the pistol can be transformed into a sniper rifle, and also with beam shield.

A "pirate-style" shaped gun, another must have for a pirate, and also a normal beam saber.

Well... that's a short post for today, so... see you at the next post!

Wing Gundam Zero Custom

It's been a very long time since i did a Gundam photoshoot. And when i said photoshoot, i did say photoshoot. Because i won't put a very long rant about the Gundam since it's my bro's hobby and my job is only to take some nice photographs of it.

Wing Gundam Zero - Endless Waltz version.

This is Wing Gundam Zero Custom, MG 1/100 kit. Classic indeed... But this Wing Zero Custom is indeed one of the most favorite Gundam of all the time. Just for the record, Wing Zero Custom appears only in Gundam Wing Endless Waltz version. That's why the official name of this kit is "Wing Gundam Zero Endless Waltz version".

Wing Zero Custom in a closer look.

This is actually the first time my bro tried on Gundam Marker. Not bad for a first timer, i think. But as you may also see, he still got a lot to learn about building Gundam model kits. That's why i won't get involved in this hobby :P. Well, as i said above, no more rantings, let the photos do the talk.

Dual wielding rifle action, i like it!

Another view of dual rifle action, cool as always!

A little closer look of dual rifle action.

Dual beam saber action, yet another coolness.

Another "weird" angle of dual saber action.

Well, yeah that's it.... This Gundam is really a classic Gundam. Most of you must have already know everything about it. So, that's all folks!

Destiny Gundam - MG

Destiny Gundam MG

Destiny Gundam, my brother's first MG Gunpla kits. Because of this MG Destiny, we know that all the Gundam we bought before (Deathscythe HG, Strike Freedom Lightning, and Wing Zero NG 1/60) isn't very good as an MG kit would be.

Z.A.F.T (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty) mobile suit

An MG Gunpla kit is awesome. By looking at the manual book, we already know that the parts are special and the posability itself it's totally great, compared to HG. Yeah, that's an MG for you i guess. That's why my brother decided to sell all his HG Gundam, and yeah... All 3 of them are already sold now.

So here's a little detail of this Gundam :

Destiny Gundam
ZGMF-X42S ZAFT Mobile Suit
Master Grade 1/100

ZGMF-X42S

This Destiny Gundam got some nice weapons. A giant 2-handed sword (i always called it Sword Strike since it used by Sword Strike Gundam), a rail gun, a rifle, beam saber, and boomerang. In standby mode, the Sword Strike and the rail gun are mounted on its back.

Sword Strike and Rail Gun mounted on the back

Its beam saber is mounted on both shoulder, just like Wing Zero did on its beam saber. The difference is, the saber hilt isn't hidden inside the shoulder, but outside the shoulder.

Beam saber mount

It has 2 beam sabers, each on both side of shoulders. You only got 2 hilts from the parts, but the parts give you a total of 2 long beams and 2 short beams. You can use them as a combination of dual sword, sword and dagger, or dual dagger.

Beam Saber and Beam Dagger (boomerang to be exact)

Weilding a dual weapon is cool as always

Another equipment it has is physical shield. Often used with rifle. It's a normal shield that almost all Gundam should have.

Rifle and shield action

Railgun is another great weapon Destiny Gundam has. The rail gun still stay mounted on the backpack even in shooting mode.

A railgun action

The other and IMO the best weapon it got is a Giant Sword. I called it Sword Strike since it used by Sword Strike Gundam. I played a Gundam Seed simulation game in PS2, and i like to use a Sword Strike Gundam, since it's full of greate sword slashing action.

Two-handed Sword Strike action

Another 2-handed Sword Strike Action

Magic on the left hand, Sword Strike on the right hand

Another feature i've seen on the book and the box is a magic (?). In the kit, you'll got a fixed pose hand like the photo above. It's seems like emitting a magic beam from the hand. Oh yeah, it also has a beam shield.

Magic beam and a beam shield action

And the last feature is the cockpit. It looks like it's hard to open the cockpit. My brother opened it for me to get it photographed.

A cockpit here

Well, that's it for Destiny Gundam. I guess the best set of photoshot i got from Sunday session is this set. Especially the black background that fit the Destiny Gundam. And also this is the last set of photoshot. But don't worry, still one more post to come. Look forward for what's inside the next post.

Wing Gundam Zero

Sorry for the late update man. Oh yeah, so many assignments, once again, can kill me. I even forgot to change the picture of the week last week.

Wing Gundam Zero

This is last week photoshoot. It's photograph of :

Wing Gundam Zero
XXXG - 00W0
Non-grade 1/60 scale

Yet another non-grade big scale Gundam. A non-grade Gundam isn't really as good as i thought. It has a number of parts as many as the HG one, except it's much bigger. Anyway, my brother already sold this Wing Zero a week after this photoshoot session.

Wing Zero and blue skies

Shield action

Closed up shield action

Dual Beam Rifle in action

Beam Rifle and Beam Saber

Next are some features that this Wing Zero has:

Wing Gundam Zero bird mode

Machine gun on shoulder

Putting Beam Saber in shoulder

I spent this Sunday to photograph some of my new collections and my brothers MG Destiny Gundam. I'll post one figure photoshoot per day, from tomorrow, so look forward to it.

Strike Freedom Lightning Edition

Still remember this Strike Freedom? I mentioned about this before. Around 2 weeks ago i found out that the weather was clear enough to do outdoor figure photoshoot, so i took my brother's Strike Freedom to rooftop and do a little photo session.

Full view of Strike Freedom Lightning Edition

This Gundam isn't a Master Grade or Perfect Grade. It's a Non-Grade 1/60 scale Gundam. So the posability and the balance isn't really good. A base is a must if you want to create some cool pose for this Gundam.
