HG Bandai Gundam 00 model: Gn0000 + 010 Raiser - 1st look on my completed model!





Article information from hlj.com

To go up against increasingly powerful opponents and the Innovators' highly advanced Mobile Suits, the 0 Raiser was developed to connect with 00 Gundam to form Celestial Being's most formidable mecha yet, the 00 Raiser! This special three-in-one set gathers the 1/100 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser, along with a limited-edition clear green version of the Celestial Being Action Base. All parts come molded in color and easily snap together so no glue or paint is required!
Upon completion, the star Mobile Suit from the second season of "Gundam 00" will feature not only polycap-jointed limbs, but also a flexible Twin Drive System (GN Drives on each shoulder) with light-up LEDs! Setsuna's personal Mobile Suit can be equipped with the included pair of GN Sword IIs that switch from Sword to Rifle Mode, a pair of GN Beam Sabers, and GN Shields. Combine 0 Raiser with 00 Gundam by folding down its main nozzle, separating its Side Binders and attaching them to the Mobile Suit's GN Drives, and then connecting the spacecraft to the back of the mecha to complete the powered-up 00 Raiser!
The included clear green Celestial Being Action Base can be used to set the Mobile Suit in dynamic mid-air poses. A sheet of foil stickers is provided.






My comments:






This is the first model that i ever built on, so i consider it quite simple to assemble if you follow the assembly guide provided. However, one draw back is the assembly guide is printed in Japanese language. So you might need to read up abit on japanese language if you want to comprehend exactly what the instructions are. But fret not, the pictures and drawings itself will help you get through. About 1 day to finish the assembly. Depends on how fast your understanding and assembly skills are.






The model kit comes with 2 booklet. one is assembly guide as mentioned and the other are introductions to other Gunplas model or Mobile suits that appears in Gundam series. Please see the above pic as references.






The figure when completed will be about 30 cm in height and 20 cm in width. for the scale of 1/100. Although there is another version which is smaller scale 1/144.






Ever since watching both gundam 00 season 1 and 2, i have been ever craze to get my hands to build on this model! So gundam fans do not miss this chance to check out models which you can find and build which is pretty fun process. Hope you enjoy as much as i do! cheers.
