Model Kit Build: "Gundam Heavyarms Ver. Endless Waltz" by Bandai

Awwwwww yissss. I've been so excited to build this one.

I really dig the transformable pieces on this kit. You'll see what I mean here in a bit!

First of all, a quick look at all the sprues - lots and lots of pieces. A good chunk of color on this one!

You'll have to enlarge these to see, but I always love that you get to take the pilot and build the entire cockpit around them as the first step for Master Grade kits.

It's not easy (even with the opening door) to see the pilot later, and folks that don't build might not even know that the pilot is hiding away in the chest. It's still satisfying to me to get them in there. :)

The classic torso shot, but also one for the waist/skirt. I absolutely love the white, yellow, and red colors on this unit. It's gorgeous! A little splash of blue, too.

Here is something I put together to show the impressive mechanics of a Master Grade - You have to put together skeletal/mechanical moving parts first, and then you add the armor pieces on top of those frames.

The top piece is the final unit's leg from thigh to ankle, bent at the knee. The bottom piece is the same thing, but only the mechanical parts within. For reference, the piece on the bottom is 9-12 parts (I forget) put together. The armor on top adds around 23 additional pieces!

The ammo belt for the giant chaingun took awhile - Had to get all these pieces snipped and facing the right way, threaded on the rubber strip in the middle.

Here is the final result, fed into the fully built chaingun and ammo backback, showing off the shiny "gunmetal" color/finish from the sprue.

Goodness sakes. Lots and lots and lots and lots of tiny decals to put on this sucker. That Master Grade kit life.

The final result, with no weapons active! Argh, it's so gorgeous, I love it! What a colorful one this is. Very big samurai feel. Awesome shape and form.

But wait... There's more! Let's transform all the parts and get this sucker fully armed - the whole reason I wanted this ridiculous kit to begin with:

Hell yes!

Look at all the missile compartments! The giant, swinging army knife! That big ol' gatling! The chest cannons! This is just pure, awesome overkill.

Funny thing is, you can actually buy more kits to build on top of this to add even MORE missile racks and dual quad gatlings! Yes, 8 gatlings total... I might upgrade this guy someday. For now, though... it's super rad already.

Hey y'all. If you're seeing this--I'm alive.

After some burn out, I'm getting back on track. So, hopefully I will post stuff here regularly. I also put up a TikTok to show stuff and will probably post later of it. I don't have a good cam or editing skills so, the first vids are gonna be a little cheesy Ig.

In the meantime, here's me messing around my pose skeleton with my latest acquisition of mini brands toys. 💖

So Bandai’s 30 Minute Mission line is going to do the Armored Core model kits which is WILD and also incredibly appropriate bc the 30 MM line is already pretty much Model Kit LEGO. Like there’s around two dozen extra part kits specifically designed for you to make your own customs. With universal joints it’s incredibly easy for even beginners to bust out there own custom mech model.

Here’s a video going over that in more detail

youtube

Link for the announcement

What this ALSO means for those interested is they they should also be compatible with the 30 Minute Sisters line which is the same design philosophy but just mecha musume kits. That line ALSO has a ton of kits and extra parts kits to explore.

ALSO!!!!! With the revive line of HG Gundams (I’m thinking especially g witch since they started using C-Clip joints in the legs) they would ALSO be compatible with the 30MM/MS line and now this new Armored Core line as well. So you really could make a kitbash of Armored Core x Gundam model.

Out and about.

I went outside, where it was cold and rainy, because I’m a dumbass.

(Let’s also pretend that this is a build kit post, as I haven’t been able to do much with finals recently, but I had this laying around and I felt weird not posting for so long so here it is.)

Model Kit Build: "Gundam The End" by Bandai

Hooooo boy, this one was super-weird. In the best way. I LOVE this crazy-ass design. Every time you build a gimmick for this, there's always a crazier one coming up in just a few more steps.

First things first, I have to mention that this is a pretty rare kit, but I only paid $6 for it! I saw it in a Japanese auction and it showed the above parts being already put together or loose - the seller couldn't guarantee that all the parts were included.

Thankfully, all of them were indeed there, so I really got a steal on this one!

Let's just talk about the visuals of this model first. While it's a majority black and gray unit, it has so many splashes of bright colors, too. Just look at this sticker sheet!

And here's the main unit, all done. What a radical weirdo! Aside from the unique design (including double horned boots, pyramid-shaped helmet, psychedelic shoulder eyes, and chest that opens up like a fang-filled mouth), he's also packing two Dirty Harry-style revolvers.

How can it get any more interesting?

Well, this is some of his shielding, which looks like a giant, silly choir robe. They convert to bat-style wings, too. Because, of course they do.

"But, wait," you might say, "What about those big yellow hands? What's up with those? Can you, like, make them flip someone off or something?"

Lawl, yup.

And I had considered keeping the middle finger pose on them both for display thinking that would be hilarious, but this guy's hands have additional Gundam heads inside the palms... which can open up and shoot lasers.

Sorry, "fuck you" fingers, but that's way cooler.

What the hell else can we add now? Well, how about a fetus?

So, yeah, this Gundam has another little Gundam living inside of it, connected by an umbilical-looking cord. Sure, that's totally normal. Oh, his name is "Narwhal," by the way.

Even though having him pop out of the chest covers up the top of the main unit, I just had to pull out every single gimmick for the final pose... Behold:
