Bandai UC Hard Graph 1/35 FF-X7 Core Fighter

Oh holy hell… me thinks I won’t be able to resist this one…

It’s now available in Japan. Won’t be long now. Won’t be long.

More Advance of Z

More of Dengeki Hobby Magazine’s Advance of Z mecha has been revealed and I’m liking this more than the previous designs.

I think they meant ‘Vanguard’ but ahhh, the Japanese have their own English language heh.

Bandai UC Hard Graph 1/35 FF-X7 Core Fighter

This is due to arrive any day now @ 4,500 yen and I like it. Superb boxart and the kit looks to be very impressive too. Just enough modern touches to make it more interesting than the original.

I’m surprised this doesn’t get more press considering the iconic status of the subject and the inclusion of 1/35 figures of BOTH Amuro Rey and Sayla Mas!

Wonder if they’ll ever do the Core Stromectol Booster. That would be cool.

Black Widow Gone Wild

Toys are fun!

RGM-89 Jegan

Detailing continues with the upper legs. I got the idea from Church of the Machine’s Jegan for this. I used a mix of Photo-etch from Kotobukiya’s MSG line and 0.5mm plastic card.

Added a minor detail on the lower leg.

More minor details on the shield.

Also from Church of the Machine, I added some details on the leg thruster.

More or less done. Most likely a minor detail to be added on the head.

VFC H&K MP5A2 Navy GBBR

Finally! A gas blowback variant of the H&K MP5! This time it’s from VFC.

More than likely a must get for me. THere’s scuttlebutt that WE-Tech will also release an MP5 sometime this year. Good time to be an MP5 fan. :)

TNI-AU F-16A/B Fighting Falcon Delivery Scheme

In 1986, the Indonesian Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara) ordered 12 F-16A/B Block 15OCU aircraft. The F-16s are employed in both air defence and ground attack roles. Lack of advanced weapons and equipment also limit the aircraft to daylight operations.

The aircraft originally received a blue/white color scheme and have a parachute fairing present in the tail root. Full details can be found here.
