Update (03/29/2010): Translated English Manual and Color Guide can be found here.

Just arrived for me today from the post office, the 1/60 GN-001 Gundam Exia kit of Bandai that I ordered from HWJapan. Right now I can’t get to working on it just yet because I’m still finishing the 1/100 Gundam Kyrios from Bandai. I had however translated the Color Guide for the Gundam Exia to English in preparation for the arrival of this kit. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to translate these color guides, considering that I don’t have a working airbrush set yet… hehehe. I do have the airbrush, its the compressor thats still way out of reach for my budget.

Update:: Found out that this available at HLJ, but you have to contact them directly by email because of the price.

More updated shots of the 1/2000 Macross SDF-1 Prototype resin kit by Yamato Toys. Price for the kit is still an eye opening 210,000 yen. Based from my understanding of the literature, they will only be able to produce 10 kits per month of this behemoth.

If you find the price too steep, you can always try building your own Macross SDF1 using everyday materials found in your hardware store.

Picking up where I left off from here. Still having fun and taking my time in my build of the 1/100 GN-003 Kyrios of Allelujah Haptism.

Finished already the fuselage portion of the Kyrios that gives it its plane like shape when transformed. Green metallic foil sticker was provided by Bandai for the “cockpit” area.
