I think you guys remember my HG Sazabi work?
He’s almost done. Just some touch ups and gloss coat left to do!
I have to say, for a long time I was set on only working on the MG versions of mobile suits but these last two models have really won me over to the HGUC line.
These are so CLOSE to being done, and I’m stuck waiting on my tamiya web order to come in to finish all three of my projects.
Whining aside, I’m pretty happy with how they’re turning out so far. I think I need to work on Crossbone’s cloak some more, but otherwise it’s dandy. In other news, I’ve been playing with different lighting setups and I think I’ve found something that works pretty well!
Maybe I’ll take another picture sometime to show everyone how ghetto it is..
Amazing what you can get done when you sit down for a bit and focus on getting things done. 
Check out the review and chime in with your thoughts on Char’s final mobile suit, the grand Sazabi.
Care of Rob over at American Salaryman, who is updating from his phone like a champ. Thanks a ton!
While the PG 00 news and Unicorn OVA have me pretty excited, not much else so far. I wonder if Bandai will have a preorder bonus again for the 00 Raiser like they did with the PG Red Frame…? I’d prefer if there was an option for the Seven Sword system myself, but who knows. The HGUC Unicorns should be interesting as well, I might pick those up to compare them with the MG counterpart.
In other news, got Sazabi’s pictures taken and the review written up, just need to put the two together so I can be one step closer to being caught up.
Just trying to take a TON of pictures to showcase this thing and all of the aspects of it, something I didn’t do with the original model. If anyone has some good ideas, I’m more than open to them. In the meantime, have another placeholder teaser picture what’s coming down the pipe.
I’m so far behind…and I’m still working on stuff without regard to the pile of stuff I haven’t reviewed or taken pictures of yet! orz
Despite having 0 of the work done for Sword Impulse, Nu and mystery review I found myself starting on an impulse-buy project a few nights ago. I would have made a WIP post, but it would have been all rather drab.
What have I gotten myself in to…? I was originally planning on getting myself the HGUC Sazabi, due to the fact it’s from 2008 and probably a lot better in terms of engineering and space consumption but upon arriving at the Gundam Store and More warehouse I found the MG version for a mere 40$ due to a little water damage on the box. Unable to resist, I purchased the behemoth.
While I liked the metallic finish version of the Sazabi, I found myself preferring to paint the normal version since the clip marks would straight up suck to hide (As with all other EXF, it was the same model with the same clip points…which means you’re going to have some ugly clip marks if you don’t watch it). I had planned on unifying the Sazabi’s red with Tamiya’s mica red then going over it in metallic red to give it that shine that Sword Impulse has (you’ll see it soon enough), but had it pointed out to me that the Sazabi was supposed to have two differet shades of red, which I have no problems with since it saves me twenty dollars in paint. I’ve used the following paints for the kit so far-
I haven’t started actual construction yet, but am planning to do so later tonight and Sunday. I would expect a WIP post!
