English Construction Manual for the recently released Master Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai from Gundam SEED vs Astray series. Truly a beautiful kit in my eyes. I find it sad though that this version has the tactical arms but no beam rifle like what the non-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame has. Then again, I guess it is much better to not have that because you could always just get the beam rifle and shield from the non-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame.

Hobby Link Japan declared another war on prices by offering Gundam model kits and related products up for sale.

Thanks to DW Chun for pointing this out to me. Amiami’s 50% off promo on SAL and EMS shipping for International customers has been extended till March 2010. It was supposed to last till the end of February only.

To quote my ex-boss, “It’s a wonderful problem to have”. Well this is one of those type of decisions that I love to make… specifically which Gundam kit to build next. I already started with the 1/100 Gundam Dynames a while back then put a stop to that to build the Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second L (which I just recently finished).

Finished working on the non grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Blue Frame from the SEED vs Astray series of Gundam. Been kinda whacked out lately that I didn’t have the drive to document the build like I usually do. This time I finished this for myself, no hassles of documenting it. This is basically me enjoying the build and not worrying about mistakes I make along the way. You will see some mistakes that I didn’t bother correcting… hehehe.

Part III of their Gundam sale was announced already by Hobby Link Japan. The notable listing I’m seeing here, price-wise, are the ACGuy (2000 yen) and RGM-79 GM (2100 yen).

Trojan Noiret’s Gundam Astray Green Frame that is part of the mecha found in the SEED vs Astray side story of Gundam Seed. Since I’m a huge fan of the Astray design I’d be sure to buy this if ever one comes within reach of me. So huge a fan that I’d be willing to over look the fact that its just a Gundam Astray Red Frame that was colored green and the Gerbera Strait sword was ditched in place of a rifle *snicker*
