1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame - Orb Union Custom

This is it... the long awaited messy and troublesome project of mine... which at the end nothing great at all about it...

But first thing first... I would like to say "Oops I did it again"...

That is because even on this second unit, I did broke the head.... again... though this time at least it is not totally destroyed and with the help of super glue, I managed to salvaged the head... and thus explains why the head of this Red Frame of mine is a little different or maybe you could even say ugly...

Nonetheless... I can now finally just forget about this messy project and move on to the next one... most probably Nu Gundan with HWS.

It's been a long journey and somehow I'm glad to be able to reach the destination.

In fact what you see now is not really what I first imagine and plan to do but after several set back, failure and disappointment not to forget after wasting a lot of time and resource on this model, I think enough is enough... what ever that can be salvaged, just use it and complete the project quickly and move on... I am not gonna buy the 3rd Red Frame in within 3 weeks.

Red is indeed my favorite color but it seems I have some "taboo" working with this Red Frame...

So let's have a look at this 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame "Orb Union Custom" or rather "Shewsbury Custom"

Red Frame Orb Union Custom - defender of Orb, protector of sovereignty, peace and justice...



Equipped with Uzumi Spear, Musashi Katana (Gerbera Straight), 2 beam saber and a shield.


As usual, let's see the body...









For a 1/100 HG or No Grade... this Red Frame have great articulation and can perform many action pose decently...



Probably Bandai did think about this model when they design the mobile suits of the current generation Gundam 00...





Some posing with all the weapons...





That spear is made using the "Gerbera Straight" from the first unit which I destroyed the head for ambitious attempt to put LED inside the head...


In fact I wanted to make it as a second katana and later as a wakizashi but some setback happen along the way and I end up have to change the plan... many other things (mistakes) happen and at the end a spear is the last think I can think off... I just don't want to waste that nice chrome katana...




Do you notice that I change the style of the scabbard/sheath...


With this now, the sharp blade is facing the "enemy" and basically you can slash the enemy while drawing the sword... sort of...



Can you spot that "red bling bling"



Gundam with katana... always looks cool to me...





And of coz the 2 beam saber mounted of the backpack...





Some additional meaningless photos...









That is where I broke the head... Can you see the cracked mark there ?



So that's about it... as I said, nothing great.. maybe something a little different and that is all...

Let's forget about this and move on to Nu Gundam with HWS... I guess you can only see it here on Friday or in the weekend...

  2. Sarah, just use super glue to fix the broken gun... I use a lot of super glue to fix any broken part of my Gundam.... even after working on many Gundam, such unwanted thing can still happen to me sometimes...
