Plan of attacking my hobby.

So, whats my plan hobby wise between now and X-mas?

Well, first off, I have a few extra gundam wing models that i picked up over the years, not complete, parts missing extra. I'm thinking that I'll kitbash a new gundam or gundams from the assorted pieces and paint it up to my own colour scheme.

I have the following gundams to use, all in the 1/144 scale: Strike Aile (GSD), Tallgesse (GW), Vevate (GW), Altron (1/144), Sandrock (GW), Epyhon (GW) and a Heavy Arms (GW).

Then separately I have a 1/144 Sandrock custom and 1/144 Deathsycthe Hell custom (Fighting HG grade) that will be kitbashed together to form 2 new gundams.

2nd plan is to get my 1/144 gundam ball set (not HG), spray paint some of the sections and parts and finally get it complete, along with my 1/144 Jegan (not HG) a another Zeon suit (can't remember the name off hand).

3rd plan is to get some of my warhammer 40k figures constructed, primed and painted by x-mas. Still working on the scenery (a.k.a not finished or looked at) and hope to get them done by halloween. As most of the scenery is rock formations and hills, I can use them as dioramas along with my gundams.

4rd plan is to fix my Enterprise E which took a nose dive from my table. All the parts are present and all were clean breaks at their glue points. (Phew!). I'm also going to start on my two Voyagers also, comparing the two kits, building and finally painting them up!

So they're the plans. Hopefully I'll have WIP pictures as I do them!

Wish me luck!

OOOH AN Update! Pic heavy

Hi All,

I completed the Argama build and have a few photos for you from the build. Info on the series can be found here http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/index.htm , Select Gundam ZZ series and scroll down to the Argama class.

Now without further ado:

My tools of the trade. A plastic cutter from Gamesworkshop and a set of hobby blades that I got for like €3.

Ah, the box. Nice picture of the model itself on the front. Nice pictures along the side too.

All the sprues in their bags, all wanting to be released!!!!

All the sprues, released and ready...

Forward section complete.

Rear section complete, nice detail for the engine.

The completed model.

Front and rear view

Two of the same! The first is the model in its cruising mode, the second is in combat mode.

Overall, its a lovely model. the chrome shine on the plastic really catches the eye. Also the choice of two modes, easily changeable is a nice feature. I would have liked a decal or two, especially for the stand, that would really make it jump out at you. The engines are metal so add a bit of weight to the model that makes it feel solid in your hands.

A quick note on the instructions - they're in Japanese, but the step-by-step is shown in clear and easy to follow pictures.

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed looking as much as I did building!

Update soon

Hi all!
