Long Awaited Omake - AHEAD VS Aizu VS Astraea Type F (AAA)

Sorry this took a while for me to actually put up since some of you waited for it ever since that HG Astraea Type F review I did a few months back. It wasn't really easy for me to do so I did this pretty linearly with not so much poses for the painted HG Aizu Gundam. However, I hope you enjoy it... I can say I rushed a bit near the end with non-stop action though. XP

Next Time...

...after some epoxy at the pelvis and paint. XP

Doing it rather slowly but my finger had to rest. :P

Anyways, have ya all seen the latest 00 Movie trailer? Or perhaps the song PV? With that said, I'm kinda hyped to see what is actually going on in those scenes. Some have speculated there are going to be aliens, perhaps even mechanical beings. Hm, interesting but we'll know the real deal when the movie comes around.

Also, looks like Setsuna will indeed use the 00 Raiser (Repair) in the movie with the GN Sword IV. Haha, another kit from Bandai will come soon. Marzz, are you gonna get it? XD
After seeing the trailer, the Zabanya and Harute really does stand out. Zabanya with its bits and Harute with its six eyes. o.o Raphael, without the "backpack unit", is spewing out Tau particles which gives an idea about its gimmick...

Okay, that's all for now. Anyone played the translated Tales of Innocence yet?

Red Avalance & *SPOILERZ FOR ASTRAY VS*

So, I just got myself a "digital" copy of the latest Dengeki Hobby and am crudely/greatly surprised with some of the new contents...

HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type F Review - Part 2

This is a continuation of part 1 here.

After a good long wait, here is the next part of this review! Finally! XP
I've been quite busy as I got so many things to do lately especially since the finals are next week. However, I feel guilty for not finishing this review so I decided to post it up today (don't worry I've been studying). :P

This part of the review is done from time to time photo-shoots so the photos may look a little different from one another especially when I used the black backdrop (which I'm using to make a 4Koma for Z's giveaway - still in progress). Anyways, enjoy the shots but I feel that you may get poisoned by the Astraea's armaments. There is so many poses you can do (although the pose-ability is limited)!

Gundam Astraea Type F3 PUNCH!

Go to my Deviantart here.

Pose is inspired from the Iron Man movies... and nothing else besides that the F3 designation is just a design idea of mine which shows it with the R2's parts. X3

If you think the color is too light for it, just think of it as a "Designer's Color". XD

EDIT:

Go to my Deviantart here.

Just a little extra from a friend's suggestion. Dunno if it makes it better or worse though. XP

HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type F Review - Part 1

"Astraea is officially War Machine!" - Z
Price: 1800 Yen

I finally found some free time currently so I thought I better post up the first part of the review since the photos have already been taken for a while already. I have yet to take the required photos for the next part however so that will have to wait. Nonetheless, let's go on with the first part.

GNY-001F - Gundam Astraea Type F
Pilot: Fon Spaak
Faction: Fereshete
Height: 18.3m
Weight: 55.1t
Arms: GN Launcher, GN Beam Saber (2), GN Beam Rifle, Proto GN Sword, GN Shield, GN Hand Missile, GN Beam Pistol (2), *NGN Bazooka, GN Hammer
*NGN stands for Non-GN which means that the bazooka is able to use physical shells without the need of using GN particles. It can, however, use it to enhance its effectiveness IIRC (credit to the Gundam Animesuki forums).

About the Gundam:
Unlike the Gundam Astraea Type F and F2 seen in 00F, the one depicated here is actually the Black Gundam Astraea which is fitted with a fake solar furnace AKA GN Drive Tau. After the final battle in 00F, it seems that Fon steals that Black Gundam Astraea and made it his own since his own Astraea is not usable anymore (due to the need of giving back the original solar furnace to Celestial Being). As for its ridiculous amount of armaments... it looks like Fon has been happily scavenging lots of places lately...
