Well overdue purchase

Well guys i still have not gotten to painting the MK.II yet but i will be starting tonight but thought i would share my new purchase. just ordered it moments ago, wish i would have bought it long ago but here it is

i got it off Amazon.com for like $56 shipped. i would call that a good deal.

Quick Update :)

Well i have a couple little things to show you guys. I finished snapping together the back pack for the PG MK.II shortly after my post yesterday so that means she is ready for paints. I am currently not at my house with my airbrush and what not, not like that matters though because i am thinking i am gonna invest in a new compressor and spray booth when i get payed so i can move my painting from my garage to the indoors. so that is why i have not started tearing this thing down yet. but here are some photos to enjoy even if it is bare plastic. :)

Now like i said earlier about not painting yet, well since i am not painting i decided to start snapping together my recently acquired PG Gundam Astray Red Frame and well when you open the box you see LOTS of red.

 This photo is a little decieving on how many runners there really are and how many of them are red lol but that doesn't really matter the point is there is a lot. now these next photos will show you something that they did have in the PG MK.II to an extent but still blows me away.

Now on the MK.II alone i thought these types of pre assembled parts (which still amaze me) would be a pain to paint and they are only one color now these being two colors i can guarantee are going to be a serious pain in the ass. and to clarify that entire hand is connected in the picture above so it will be interesting to see how it folds into place.

So i can deal with those hands being a pain to paint but this next photo just left me scratching my head. why did bandai not make this two pieces?

And if anyone cares, the red frame was built on top of the PG Strike Gundams frame and so a lot of the pieces are recolors of Strike components and they are all colored in a darker shade of red which i think is really cool giving the model a little more flavor and depth so here is a comparison

Thanks for stopping by guys and gals so until next time.

Quick Update and New Pick Up

Just got this guy in a couple days ago. was wanting it pretty bad and Tatsu hobby had one instock for $198 so can't beat that. check out there site if you have not already. great guys down there with great service and awesome shipping. i ordered this at 1:30 in the day and it was shipped that day saw it two days later and for only $11.

Next up got a MK.II update. I have been working at a snails pace due some other distractions but got it all snapped together for the most part besides the back pack. probably will do that this weekend and then i will tear it down for paint.
