A Short Gunpla Build to Start the Year

A Short Gunpla Build to Start the Year SD Qant
Happy 2014 to you guys! May we have more Gunpla kits to purchase and build on this year. I am also hoping that Bandai would decide to lower their kit’s prices starting this year, lol. It’s somewhat impossible but what the heck, we can’t predict the future right?

Anyhow, going here back in the city after celebrating New Year’s Eve at home, I’ve decided to have a short build of one of my pending backlog kits. What I mean of short is that the kit is an SD kit of the 00 Qant from Gundam 00 series. It is a bootleg kit I bought ‘last year’ so it is not officially named Gundam, but termed as ‘Warrior’. Hence, it’s shown in the box cover.

The kit has a total of three major runners and a fourth one for stand.

After a few moments of removing parts from the runners and cleaning the nub marks,

I’ve started adding the stickers to the green clear part for the eyes and did a test fit of the head.

The major issue with most clear parts is the remaining nub marks that still appear after it’s trimmed. You can notice it here on this clear green part of the Qant sword.

The weather got a bit cloudy this late afternoon so my painting of the parts got postponed to tomorrow morning.

Part Two would be the completion, wrap-up and a short review of the kit. Thanks for reading.
