MG Astray Blue Frame 2ndRevise

25 Comments


My 10th MG kit, RM 176 (USD $50). Finished it in 7 hours excluding stickers and decals. Didn’t apply the decals though because this kit is trying to torture me as MG Unicorn did. Only panel-lined so far… The song i used is Mamai Kawada’s “Prophecy” from the anime Shakugan no Shana S.

    What would be the “exact method?” You can PM me if you want!

    it’s the japan only thing….oh I’m so sad,I can’t use it….
    thanks for the info…

    coupon thing? I have no idea…, Is it packed separately or it is a section on the manual you have to cut out?

    Mine had the SEED VS Astray adaptor set, being the among the earliest to grab it… Usually every gunpla box has a coupon like thing attached to the manual, fully in japanese, but that’s for Japan use only, where you can order parts that are missing or damaged when you buy it.

    It sounds problematic though, I’d just ask from an exchange from the seller if this happens.

    uhm excuse me….what is that coupon-like thing that I saw in my mg blue frame??
    do you also have that?

  • EXkurogane says:

    Yup. That’s why a support stand is included – havent touched that yet… still wrapped in plastic… xD

    is this like the first one where i think the sword was too heavy for it to hold up?

    ohh ok. that helps. I actually didnt finish building the blue frame yet, I only have the legs and the waist done.

  • EXkurogane says:

    The stand is meant to hold the sword only, not the whole Gundam. My stand in still unopened in the box so i can’t help much… XD You knew that there’s a round hole on the tactical arms that connects to the rack on the back right? That hole is also used for connecting with the stand. However, the new and upcoming Red Frame Kai’s stand seems to be able to hold the Gundam.

    hey I am having trouble setting up the stand. The manual didnt really cover too much on it, like it did, but I dont see how I can attached my unit to the stand..

    hahah… I didn’t apply any dry decals, was too lazy. The special markings you see is from the yellow sheet -clear stickers!! If you know the exact method to apply stickers properly, they might just look invisible, except at a closer look. The only kits i applied dry decal is Unicorn Ver Ka and my 3 MG Strikes.

    wow, the dry transfers look cool (well at least the redo ones ^^ i can’t see the white)
    but the other ones in a weird yellow paper (for example the one that says: mbf-p03r gundam astray blue frame second revise.) are water slide decals? or just stickers with a clear “base”

    LOL it really amuses me that every single modeller who worked on this kit complained the knees… ^^; The manual is just isn’t clear enough…

    The Knees! Took me 3-5 hrs to build a single leg! haha really a piece of work! Amazing..

    well im getting 00gundam..the face is sexy xD

  • EXkurogane says:
    August 28, 2010 at 9:53 pm

    huh? 00 Gundam? i don’t have a single Gundam 00 S2 kit yet… XD Because i expected Bandai to bash the kits (they did) and the 1/100 version is too pricey. I’d prefer to wait for MG version… ^^;

  • alexdatoneasian says:
    August 28, 2010 at 10:51 pm

    loool,00gundam?

  • EXkurogane says:

    I knew how to disassemble a kit properly, so making mistakes is not a prob for me… MG unicorn’s leg is worse, and the toughest MG you can try on is Zeta 2.0 besides the EX-S and FAZZ. This kit is not really tough, except the knees. I finished it in 7 hours. On Shin Musha, i wasnt interested… It’s juz a Gundam in a game, never really existed in a series or OVA…

    i hate the knees dude -__-”
    i broke a piece..
    u should do a review on this model
    1/100 mg shin mush gundam.
    the legs are effin hard,but when u finish,trust me its worth it (:

  • EXkurogane says:
    August 29, 2010 at 12:43 am

    Yup, the knees. I had to disassemble it twice because of my mistake at the knees… Got confused by the manual… ^^;

    Song is by Mami Kawada, yeah, her voice is same as Kotoko. I was lazy to paint… Especially the white sections on the fingers…

  • alexdatoneasian says:

    this kit is hard to build.

  • navigatorhat says:

    Nice use of music, KOTOKO?

    I’m still debating or whether or not to paint mine. It’s a balancing choice between the nice paint finish and the risk of losing anime accuracy.

    Sadly, no… But mine had the limited backpack adaptors.
