Next review: HGAC Gundam Deathscythe!

Finally I have completed my HGAC Gundam collection! Once Epyon gets its time to shine I will have accumulated all the Gundams (not counting rebuilds).

The Deathscythe, by design, is the definition of unnecessary excess. It has massive bat-like shoulders, a coffin shaped shield and a beam scythe so huge it can reach whatever is standing next to it just by swiveling. But, forgoing this overindulgence of edgelord, this is still an awesome gunpla.

The articulation is much the same as the rest of the newer HGAC Gundams. Though it does have some points that are unique to this kit. In order to allow the arms to reach out to the sides properly the shoulder vernier engines can pivot inside and out of the way. The legs carry a similar mechanism to the MG Jesta in that the knees extend to allow the legs to bend 180 degrees without the knee pad hindering them.

The kit comes with two main accessories; the beam scythe with 2 blades and the shield with its own scissor beam blade. The shield has a point on its back which can be used to mount it to an action base, a nice display feature.

I give the Deathscythe 9/10 - another excellent Wing kit well worth the wait!

Today I build the HGAC XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock! This is a really fantastic kit! It has great color separation with minimal stickers! I don’t know why but I really like the Sandrock despite it having more white than any other color which is why I normally don’t like most main series mobile suits but the Sandrock is really cool. I used to have the MG but I sold that but now I have this and this works great. I almost bought the Gundam Universe Sandrock but I am glad I went for the HGAC!

HGAC OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01

yet another mobile suit design i absolutely love (especially the HGAC redesign), the G Unit kits need more love than they get. it has its issues but overall in the end it just looks SO damn good that i don’t care too much. also, i love how the shield was handled with this kit.

need to get my hands on the HGAC Geminass 02 & Aesculapius next, plus another couple of Geminass 01s, the Geminass option parts and two sets of Geminass 02 option parts for a custom... hmmm

I've always liked the "all the guns" aesthetic of Gundam Heavyarms... But the color-scheme never worked for me. All that red and yellow makes me think of a hot-dog stand.

I'm slowly working my way through the whole After Colony quintet - so, it was time to build Gundam Heavyarms.

This is a fun kit with lots of hatch-opening gimmicks. It's too bad the missiles and guns inside those hatches aren't more color-accurate. A lot of them just look like masses of grey plastic. I'm thinking I might need to break out the paints again...

The build is pretty good. It's got all the polycaps I'd expect from an HGAC kit... This isn't one of the recent HGWFM kits that's all plastic-on-plastic... But things generally go together well. There weren't a whole lot of spots that felt loose.

Well, except for that big ol' gun on the left arm. That doesn't fit very snugly at all. Feels like it'll fall right off if I so much as look at it wrong. I'm thinking I'll have to tighten that up before too long.

And there it is - HGAC Gundam Heavyarms all built and posed.

I'm debating whether I want to go back and try painting some of this kit... That worked pretty well for my Barbatos, but peeling those stickers off was a pain in the ass.

This just leaves a Wing Gundam to be built, and then I'll have the whole After Colony quintet.

HGAC 1/144 OZ-06MS Leo SEVEN-LEO ARMY UNITS 1 & 2 (standard type, cannon type)

Building the Tallgeese put me in a bit of an After Colony mood, which diverted me from both my usual focus on Universal Century mobile suits and my preference for the 1/100 scale.

Much like the Tallgeese itself, I'd always been fond of the Leo, Gundam Wing's extremely destructible common grunt suit. Between its utilitarian, no-nonsense design and funny little TV head, the Leo is both believable and charmingly quirky. I'd always found Leos appealing and wanted to build one, but the only kit ever produced was a non-grade offering in 1/144 scale from 1996 (which I've still never ever actually seen).

...That is until the Leo came to the High Grade After Colony line in 2018.

I became aware of the HGAC Leo as I returned to Gunpla work in 2021, after 10 years away from the hobby. Although I'd always been disinterested in the smaller 1/144 scale, my longstanding desire to build the suit and the very positive reviews of this particular model were enough to convince me to give it a try. Plus, as such a small kit, the low price tag represented a negligible sunk cost even if I ended up disliking it.

Reader, it turns out the HGAC Leo is the Pringles of Gunpla. It is so easy and fun to build, so outstandingly posable and expressive, and so cute that it's all but impossible to resist the notion of building a whole squad of them. I was further compelled into this rabbit-hole by the discovery of the full weapon set kit, a P-Bandai offering that includes the whole arsenal of assorted Leo weapons, as well as option parts for equipment variations. Deciding to build one little Leo quickly snowballed into raising a small army of them.

After some calculation to determine how to divvy up the armaments from the full weapon set, I concluded seven Leos would be the right number to build. Thus began my Seven-Leo Army project.

After the first Leo, which I equipped simply with a shield and beam sabers, I used some of the option parts from the full weapon set to make the cannon type variant for my second unit. Knowing I would have many extra parts for the Leo's standard drum-fed machine gun, I gave unit 2 a pair of them to double down on its double-barreled vibe.

(Don't talk to me or my son ever again.)

Woke up early today and checked emails abd other work stuff and since I don't have classes, I decided to work on this kit. HGAC Gundam Heavyarms. I skipped getting this kit so many times thinking it's not worth my time and effort but boy I was wrong. It's a complete step up from the old non grade 1/144 kit they used to sell in the 90s. Operation Meteor units are coming along steadily. #abuilderslife #plamobuilder #plasticmodels #gunpla #gunplabuilder #gunplaislyf #bandai #GundamWing #HGAC_XXXG_01H_GundamHeavyarms #GundamHeavyarms #nostalgia (at Marikina City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJdn2WSb1N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today’s review: HGAC Gundam Shenlong!

I won this kit in a contest held by Gunpla.co.uk and decided to use it as an experiment to build a kit using no stickers, opting instead for painted highlights to complete the kit’s appearance.

This kit was a fun build, as all the Wing kits have been so far. It uses the new waist design first seen in the Sandrock to give it extra ab crunch movement and, with a ball joint connected cockpit hatch, this articulation is boosted further to allow nothing to hinder its movement.

The dragon fang arm is designed so that it can extend and retract with no hindrance to the kit’s initial articulation. The forearm connects to the shoulder via a clip mechanism that allows the arm the same outwards movement as the left arm, meaning no articulation is lost to the gimmick.

Even then the dragon fang is further improved upon with the addition of the extension pieces we see in the anime:

The last accessory the kit comes with is the beam glaive. This signature weapon can be held by both included sets of hands, even though the other holding hands were originally designed for the Sandrock and disregarded in the instructions.

I give the Shenlong 10/10 - I can find no fault with this kit at all!

HGAC Wing Gundam - the last of the original Gundam Wing quintet.

I'm still not a big fan of Gundam Wing. I still thing those mecha are a little too gimmicky for the "real robot" aesthetic Gundam typically has. And "bird mode" is certainly gimmicky. But, weirdly, this one probably has the most-normal Gundam loadout.

It's not designed purely for melee combat like Sandrock. It's not all guns, all the time like Heavyarms. It doesn't have a dragon arm like Shenlong. It's not cosplaying as the Grim Reaper like Deathscythe. It's got a fairly traditional beam saber, shield, and beam rifle.

I wanted to try building this kit without any of the stickers.

That's a metallic green Gundam Marker behind the lens in the chest. Some Army Painter matte black around the eyes, and metallic yellow/green Gundam Marker for the eyes and camera lens. I think it turned out pretty well. I like how fast the Gundam Markers dry.

That's some more Gundam Marker, metallic black this time, on the knees.

I was kind of surprised by the articulation on the wings. I mean, it's not amazing. But it's more than I expected from a high grade kit.

It's a fun build that really looks pretty good when it's done.

Unfortunately that transformation to "bird mode" is a huge let-down.

Giving this model a transformation means that some of the joints need extra wiggle-room to move around. And this makes those joints a little more fragile. I had issues with things popping off when trying to pose it.

And the transformation itself just isn't very impressive. This isn't really a problem with the model... It doesn't look great in the anime either. It's basically a robot flying around wearing its shield as a hat.
