a small hobby

for those of you who don't know or for you three people who actually read this blog,
I collect and build model gundam's.

If you dont know what that is go on youtube type Gundam Wing Endless waltz

that should fill you in.

its just one of those japaneese anime's with robots and i fuckin love it.

anyway ive been building these things for awhile since i was like 10 or so but i lost my collection cause i used to fuck around with them and most of them broke.

so i recently started over a few years back.

recently my friend got me a new one as a bday present a late present but a present none the less.


i got the legend gundam simply because of the size and i knew it would be some what challenging. i wanted a bigger one but pee wee is a cheap skate haha not really but the other ones cost a lot so this one fit in to his price range and i also helped out when he bought it.

there are directions in the box but they are in japaneese no english on them so you just go by common sense mostly

thats the complete torso took me about 20 minutes



5 to 10 minutes later i finished the head



at this point i had a food break and my mom made me do some chores so i couldnt get back to work until like an hour or so later.


the four arm parts probably took me 5 minutes to complete


both arms complete time lapse around 10 minutes or more

then i just connected the pieces i had to see if they would fit right.


i thought this picture was rlly cool.

on to the legs
FEET


one leg



two legs

the lil open parts on teh side are sword hilts the rider who is in the gindam places the swords when he isnt using them in either side.

this probaly took me 30 minutes

the lower body took me a good 20 minutes



legs connected



time to add both pieces together






yeah i dont know how long that took me but i got home at like six and started building around 6:20 and i finished up to here at like 9:30
so the times i said b4 are probably wrong but w/e iono.

after that i had to add the weapons and all teh flashyness and that took FOREVER.
these two parts wouldnt connect and i just rlly pissed off and i couldnt figure it out. eventually i got it but i forgot to take pictures of it by itself cause i was excited to see it on teh gundam so yeah.







that ook forever but it came out sick.

then i just needed to add teh shield and other weapons.

it came with a lil info card abotu the pilot.
i put the two other swords in teh legs and theres a giant beam rifle on teh back.



FINNALLY DONE!!! i ended around 11:20 or something you can see mad tv in teh backround.

A new Gundam for my collection
