Turn A Gundam

September 08, 2007 By: marvin Category: Model Kits, Gundam 31 Comments →

Finally done with the Turn A Gundam, as it turned out the gundam was actually an easy build. but one thing that made it easier was the labels on the part runners.

this makes finding parts a whole lot easier. ^^
A more seasoned gundam builders would probably pre-build their gundams before painting the individual parts, I however usually paint the part while they are still on the runners. (call me mr. lazy bum) ^^. Painting it this way saves a lot of time, but isn’t without drawbacks. as it turned out, I ended up wasting paint on parts I end up covering in the end. like using up a can of gunmetal paint on the Turn A’s internals. ^^;

even worst, ended up not using enough paint on a part, like the blue part on the Turn A Gundam’s stomach.

one thing I was lucky to find however was parts to mod the gundam hammer or morning star. my wife suggested I find a cheap chain bracelet from a local girl’s accessory store. as it turned out I got myself a chain bracelet for a little over two USD. a real good deal for my gundam’s ball and chain. ^-^

btw Win XP users would probably notice the background as the bliss wallpaper. ^^;
a final note before the gallery, though it’s more of a question to anyone who has watched the Turn A Gundam series. The Turn A’s back legs kinda reminds me of a swiss army knife. building the MG kit made me wonder, why does it look that way? did they run out of materials to build armor plating for it? does it serve any purpose? do I ask to much questions? ^^ in any case it can’t be as bad looking as the gundam’s mustache. lol (^V^)

the Turn A turned. sexy legs or varicose vein infested swiss army knife looking legs? ^^;
finally the Turn A Gundam gallery. ^^ sorry no cow shots. ^^ although thinking about it now, the cow would have probably fit perfectly with the Window’s XP Bliss background. ^^;
