Gundam Astray (Flight Unit)

23rd September 2014 (Tuesday)

Gundam Astray is my first ever model kit chosen from the rack full of Gundams. The first time I bought it on August 2014, I carry it like precious.

Inside the box, there's a guide book and packs of tiny pieces to build a complete, sturdy, flexible moving robot.

 Constructing both arms

 Head, body and arms done. Working on the leg.

What triggers me to get a hold of this?

One day after lunch, I found myself plenty time to walk around, ToyRus is just nearby. Take a peek.
 
Browsing, browsing game boards, party masks and accessories, Legos, and owww.... Behold, the heaven rack of Gundams. I have zero knowledge about these awesome little toys, why is there so many almost same face but has own unique characteristics? If I am going to start one, which one should I choose? Well, pick the latest one? But wait... which are the most released ??? So... I don't know, yet I want to have one. Therefore.... let's pick the one I have an eye on and start browsing.

Of all the Gundams carry long shooting weapons as prime action, this one has Katana as prime, that's how I pull the cash willingly. It took me about 6-7 hours non-stop until fully construct to a toy figure, you don't know the feeling of construct and play if you don't try.

I had the entire working day dangling head with extreme sleepy. Will not do that ever again.

 Astray in action flash off its katana. Cool.

 I made up a story, with Mars as the father of Gundam Astray, and Aero is Mars younger brother. Yup, I had already decided the next Gundam model, of course it will be blue.
