Finishing Up the HG Destiny Heine Westenfluss

So, this Heine Westenfluss Destiny got me pumped to finish it, with the neat colors and looking so good.  Just as a reminder, I had no clue who Heine was, never saw the series the Destiny is from, but I started building this because it was the only 'reddish' kit that was at the local Barnes and Noble before our local gunpla group's big "red October" meetup.  Heres what I was building and how far I got.


I don't have a lot of build pictures for this one, just one more middle pic where its spoiling for a fight:


Heres the final pic on the build surface, and immediately I just had to take some lit pics even without the lightbox set up.


It looks great! It also comes with a handheld gun and the white triangles on the shoulders come off to form daggers. And it comes with an extra hand that shoots a clear blast out, as well as a clear effect for a different shield I dont really understand. Also, the sword folds in half and stores on the back, as does a GIGANTIC gun that slings down under his shoulder while still connected. But I jut love the wings sword and shield look SO much I'm keeping it like this. (link to video in case it doesn't work well on the blog upload: https://i.imgur.com/6hOBJT7.mp4)


I also made a minibox for it, and put the extra hands and whatnot in it.


Finally, a nice group shot!


Next time I'll try and have more than just some pictures, but this kit is great! Its got some cool poses, a bunch of accessories and effects and move-able parts, a interesting color scheme, etc. Highly recommended. Its inspired me to get some action bases, coming in soon!

HG MSM-07 Z'GOK

Starting out, I have mixed feeling here.  Watching the shows and looking at the kits, the "roundarm" suits like the zgok, acguy, etc, were never my favorites.  But I did want one underwater kit, these are just a recognizable and different looking suit that a collection has to have ONE.  And I found one for under 8 dollars that looked decent and super quick to build, so here it is: I laughed pretty hard at one of those pictures. Can you spot it? Yeah, the one flat faceplanted at the floor. After speculating if it was like "dead or destroyed", I just had to translate it (thanks, instant phone based google translate!). It came out to something like "cruise position in water". It seems really weird they didn't put it up off the ground on like an action base or something, but hey, you do you Bandai. Anyways, heres the other contents of the box: TWO stickers, one of which is the eye, and the other I didn't put on yet and doesn't ...

Finishing the HG GM Guard Custom

Image
Strap in, ladies and gents, because we're about to finish the Guard Custom (which in my head I keep calling the Shield custom, for reasons that are about to become obvious) from just the torso.  If you recall, I started the guard custom when I went to a local meetup for the first time in the city I moved to, which you can read about HERE . I got through the torso and didn't take a lot of pics because I was having fun enjoying the moment with my fellow builders. But now, on to the rest of this kit! One thing to note is theres a lot of flat wide surfaces, and some had slight areas that needed to be sanded down with some faint lines running across them. So even if you didn't touch it and there was no nub, inspect every piece and every surface! This time I'm just doing a straight build, with 1.Cut far end of all the gates of a piece to release it 2.Cut close to but not perfectly flush to remove gates 3.Knife work to get a flat nubless surface, erring on the sid...
