I'm actually not done with my Sengoku Astray quite yet. I plan on customizing him, which is why he's unstickered

I'll probably give one of these to him, keep in mind that I got 3:

I've considered picking up the Blue Frame MG to go for a "Sengoku Unit 2" custom. I don't do custom work often though. I really tend to prefer stock builds unless I'm creating something original. But I have a good idea that'll require a Blue Frame and 1/100 Mirage Astray.

Prime92 is doing something like that:



Hardest part of customs is deciding what colour scheme to do.

I'm thinking for my sengoku I might go with the Gold frame colours. But do I go with the default or the Amatu custom? Hmmm...

Looking good, I'm thinking of something a bit more radical though. My skills are well, non-existent, when it comes to painting. So I need better parts to work with at a base level.

Back wall is nothing but Gunpla, it's glorious. Prices are pretty decent too, high grades usually run me about 20-30 depending on the box size.

I have a local anime shop not too far from me, haven't had the chance to drive out to it. I would love to have it turn out like this.

I'd carry them for customers at my comic shop if I could. But my distributor rarely if ever carries gunpla anymore. The Thunderbolt HG's seem to be it. My boss and I are however working on setting up a Bluefin account though to hopefully alleviate these issues.

I feel your pain with Hobbytown, I have three around my workday commute, but I get in there and the prices demoralize me. It used to no be as bad, equaling about the price per kit plus shipping, and then one day it up and became extortion. Been an online shopper ever since.

I would go with the Amatsu Custom colorscheme. It differs enough from the base color scheme to differentiate it from its white armored cousins. Personally, I have the notion of coral blue frame, predominately light grey armor and lilac accents/secondary armor color.

Playing around with my Sengoku Astray still, I finished building the Caletwiches tonight.

Couldn't figure out how I would mount them without altering the kit but then I got the idea to mount them on the for arms to have them act as a giant pair of tonfa:



The words ridiculous and overkill do not begin to describe this beast.

Looking pretty good

You know, I think you finally found the limit of how many beam weapons can go on a single Gundam

You haven't seen what I've come up with in Gundam Breaker, my friend.

And I wish I still had the picture, but I've managed to equip the Astrea F Type with every single weapon that's included in the kit all at once, even the extra ones you get left over from the Exia.
