Some very nice images of Gundam Astraea Type F at Gundam.info. Was thinking of painting my MG Gundam Wing with reds and browns. Via Gunota.
wow. looks awsome. sorta looks like nineball from armored core series a bit. anyways this one seems to be the one in the gundam00 time
Kind of, I think its the Projectiles. On a side note, I have not bought any Gundams for the last three months.. also, in local news, Bandai co. stock has gone down 19%... yes.. my fault.
I went out and bought the recent Dengeki Hobby from Yodobashi Camera@ Akiba simply for the HG 1/144 Astrea conversion parts... I havn't started yet... as I'm currently in Uni in the UK again... and, well, I don't have a HG 1/144 Exia... I'll probably make it when I go back home
I also ordered myself a copy of Dengeki Hobby too for a conversion of a 1/144 Exia to Astraea, but I haven't purchased the puramo yet.
I just bought Dengeki hobby as I would normally. But at least this is an extra which I can actually use, unlike those earlier ones for the Advance of Zeta series. Now if only I could be bothered to get a 1/100 Exia...
Looks nice in red, but the back seems a bit too pointy for my taste. What? I didn't imply anything ero, did I?
No, you said BACK not FRONT. A-ok
forgive me, but i see no abnormalities on the back. kinda reminds me of Dynames.
Everything looks good, except the butt-boosters. Sigh.. when will the gundam stop looking like they have explosive gas? BTW, why do they need verniers, if they have the whole solar particle engines?
speaking of butt-boosters, the Dynames has a huge set of 'em where the GN particles come out. oh the delicious irony.
DRAGUN: You have a good point. Maybe for sudden acceleration to make sudden directional changes? Not that it matters in the main story, but form the Real World point of view, this would make it highly manuverable. gingy: The Dynames has a set too. But they sorta remind me of bee stingers...
this is a bit too bright for my taste, maybe if they added some white here and there. very nice kit though, waiting for my 1/100 Dynames to arrive.
I wonder why the just dont call it Gundam Astray ver 2.0. Seriously. I like the colors better than the Exia, and Im really curious about its origins.. .anyone know yet?
It's an Aestivalis! Does it have wire punches too?
Looks good~ I saw a Gundam with the same design, but colored differently. That was on a... piece of paper that came with my 1/100 Exia. Which reminds me- I better go watch Gundam 00
I know, I need to see epi 14.. I only found it raw online. Im still a bit wary of using torrents, since there is the whole virus thing to worry about (thats aboot for you Canadians).
Looks greate¬ hmm¬ gundam is moving far more away from the previous design... is this a good sign? Another thing is that, why I get the feeling that The AEU is going to get a gundam in Gundam00? To me the design looks like the Flag mobile suit + Exia Gundam... Wish my feeling is wrong.
Ops wrong type it should be Union's Flag
since we're on the topic of the Union's Flag, i really like the design for Graham's custome black flag, the HG 1/144 Union Flag doesn't look as good, maybe if i painted it...
qingy, the 1/144s never look as good. Its a shame they never release a 1/100 of the "bad guy" mass production MS. Just like in Gundam Wing.. no Leo 1/100, just the main people. Sigh. The "villains" are the best part!!!
Yup i know what you mean. i really wanted a Leo, contemplating if i should buy another Tallgeese and just mod that. But I'm really hoping Bandai will release a 1/100 Graham Custome Flag or maybe a 1/100 EnAct, don't really want a 1/100 Taozi...too pink. Anyway, about the HG 1/144s, surprisingly, the new ones are actually very posable, still nowhere near a PG or even MG though...haha
I'm kinda suprised that nobody made a Char association remark yet. ^^
I think you just did.. now, if you look below me, I am sure someone else will repeat your sentiment. Lets watch! ! ! ! ! ! ! V
Oh, God. Everyone, CHAR'S BACK!!! lol. Nice.
The paint scheme looks wicked
Agreed...
red, teh color of blood o_O! now i know what that feeling that i had when i bought my 1/100 Exia was. Regret.
I thought it was Oppertunity.. now, you can scratch-build an Astraea instead.
Scratch-build. Nice. I don't know, I got the vibe of Nephtis from ZOE when I saw the back of this..
I actually don't like the Astraea :x Doesn't give me the gundam vibe that I'm used to.
Hmm maybe it's a scratch built,'cause it was red,the Astraea I usually see is white, like normally other main gundam
another manga of Gundam 00 has the main pilot using this exact same astraea, so it's not a scratch. Actually, if you buy Degeki Hobby's Feb. 2008 issue, you get extra kit to convert Exia into Astraea. What sucks is, that the kit only comes with the armor/body parts, and no weapons come with it. The magazine gives you "blueprints" of the weapons so that you can scratch them, but honestly, how is a novice supposed to try scratching? Then again, I guess people who buy these mags are middle to advanced, in terms of modeling...
That's a neat Gundam. Wait what series is this from?
Its from Gundam 00F Take a look here for more info ==> http://www.mahq.net/Mecha/gundam/00f/gny-001f.htm
I saw the magazine with conversion parts too, but it looks pretty much different. Hence, it's called Type F and has a completely different head.
mm..nice combination of color...havent watch gundam oo..
that looks great, i love the red. Its like blood thirty monster is coming at you. MMUAHAHHA ^^ Not sure about the brown, I think something like black maybe or some other color would go much better here. Ah all these models, I think I will e getting myself one now.
damn it sure has big hips!
That is one nice looking Astrea
