PG 00 Raiser WIP 1

It would seem I am letting some people down by not posting enough... so here it is. The beginning of the PERFECT GRADE GN0000 other wise known as the 00 Raiser. This thing is awesome to say the least. One of the most complicated and daunting builds I have taken on so far. The amount of parts alone is just insane! I believe 971 was what I read some where, sorry I am far to lazy to count. This guy comes as two models the 00 Gundam and the 0 Raiser. The 00 Gundam is completely snap fitted at this point and as you can see in the pictures below he is impressive! I have started the scribing process, and for those of you that have seen any of my other builds you will know that this if a slow process as I tend to go in depth with panel lines and other details. This guy is no different. I am still building the 0 Raiser, but I always enjoy taking a break from one step to do another for a few days.

Just showing you that it literally took 35 pages of directions for me to complete the build on this guy; not to shabby.

Decals, for a far far future use, but needless to say I will not be doing a full custom job this time. Not to worry though I have no doubt I will stray from the directions as this is my normal tendency. With out further delay.....!!!!!!! 00 GUNDAM!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

Below you see the leg frame, I didn't take any photos of the frame yet, I really wanted to see this guy finished! The frame is great though very sturdy. The arms were the hardest part of the build by far, the little spring gears that are used to control the movement really add some challenge in there.

Heck yeah Exia and 00 Drives working in synch, this by the way is hands down the best Gundam series I have seen to date, I just finished the first season and am now watching season 2. Once I have one leg complete I will post comparison photos for you to see. Same goes with the completed 0 Raiser once it is snap fitted. Things should be calming down a little bit now so maybe I will be able to concentrate on the important things in life. GUNDAM!

The O Ver Kamm!

Ok Last one, after finishing my The O build and a fellow builder mentioning he was going the path of rivets I could not resist posting this beauty up!

How different The O Ver Kamm is from The O Ver Tem! I like the white color scheme and the fact its hand painted is just awesome. Keep up the great work Kamm!

I don't know of a blog for Kamm this is posted at M.A.C. (Mech Arts Community) http://s3.zetaboards.com/MACforums/topic/7435799/1

Wow!! PG RX-178 Gundam

I don't normally post other people's Gundam builds, but I don't think its a bad idea when they are worthy. In the case of this one it is clearly worthy of a posting!

DC23 is one of the most skilled builders I know and some one I look to for ideas and guidance. This PG build motivated me in my current PG 00 Raiser build.

Well with out further delay I give you the PG RX-178 Gundam Ver DC23! It is awesome!

Here is the link to DC23's blog.

THE O VER TEM DONE!!!

This is it! The O Ver Tem is finally done! No this time I promise there are no more WIPs no more additions or oh by the ways on my parts. I am done! :) This has truly been a labor of love; I have poured almost 3 months into building just this gundam, and found skills that I had no idea I had. I now owe a tutorial on miliput which I am still learning a lot about, not sure how that happened :P. I will get that up soon I promise.

I just completed the decals using decals from Gundam Guy! Thank you again my friend. Custom decals always take a lot more time as I just end up staring at the sheet thinking about what to do next and where this one should go. I like the way it came out though. A lot of great detail is added by the smallest thing; even in the places you guys don't know about. I tried to take some pictures of the areas that you normally don't see so you can see the extra care I took to add detail there. I know you think you have seen The O Ver Tem before, but I actually posed him this time and used a backdrop so in my opinion its worth the look.

Please C/C also welcome.

Well there you have it The O Ver Tem in all its glory, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time. What is next, well the PG Raiser 00 The legs and waist are done so 45% of the snap fit is complete. Have fun.
