Project 1: HG 1/144 GN Arms type E+GN-001 Gundam Exia

After some success and failure, I have, and will, show case my WiP (for those not into the lingo, "Work in Progress") for the HG Gundam 00-13, GN Arms Type E+GN-001 Gundam Exia . If you are looking for one, here is your chance to take a gander at what you will see. Reminder, this is the first time I am using a blog site to showcase my work in public, as well as using Flickr. So be aware (my grammar may suck, and my modeling skill is near noob-ish. SORRY!)

How I Acquired the Gunpla:
Ebay; seller name Toyza!
This kit, at the time I bought it, was a STEAL! Honestly... Normally, online, you will have to pay at least $60 for the kit, and some more for shipping. At my local Japan Town, I saw it for $80~$90. But this ebay seller sold it for $60 total, including shipping. Don't get me wrong, but I feel I save a crap load of money.

Anyway, the box art:
HG 1/144 GN Arms box

And to really show how big it is....
This is how big it is...

Even the friggin model guide is huge....
Look how big the model guide is...

And the amount of parts I get....
OMG, that's a lot of partsBox full o' parts 1Box full o' parts 2

So yea... I am going to have fun (ha...haha...ha....) building this model, trying to "paint" it, and showing it to you all... I am either going to get a boo, a shrug, or a yippie... By the way...

a.) I am a mac user... Don't laugh
b.) That is my bed sheets... I haven't bought new ones since I was in middle school...

As well, as an added bonus, this is how many model guides I have for gunplas I built over the ages...
Extra 1: How many model guides do I have? 1
Most of these I broke, due to my youth, or it fell off my shelf. As you can see, I made a big transition from SD to HG... I mean, I still think SD gundams are cute... I mean, look at mini Exia!!!!
Mini Exia!!!!  Cute....

But yea... I don't know when I made my shift...



ANYWAY, after digressing A LOT, I don't know when I will start my build, due to work and all, but I will start some time soon... hopefully....

Amount of time spent: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes... "The armed intervention, with the mobile suits known as Gundam, will soon start..." Hopefully =P
