1/100 Gundam Exia Avalanche Dash (Under Construction)

It's been a while I haven't had any update on this blog. Oh, it is not like I have lost my passion about modelling, I was just thinking that maybe it is time to set myself a challenge, and here comes the work of this time:

GN-001/hs-A010 Gundam Exia Avalanche Dash.

Background:
Had its debut on Hobby Japan's 00V Senki in which the story flashed back to Season 1, right before the Celestial Being were destroyed by the World Alliance, this equipment was deployed in a mission in which Setsuna was assigned to destroy an asteroid on the course of collision of Earth.

My challenge is to make it in scale of 1/100.

Snapshots in Production:

Sliding boards built purely using 1.2mm plastic board  

Trajectory to facilitate the sliding boards to move back and forth
during the mode change.

Test-mounted on the legs

Mode Change (from sliding board mode to booster mode)

Front View

Rear View

What is left to do:

1. Paintings (Obviously) 

2. Mechanical details on parts.

3. There are various technical issues needed to be handled.

1/100 O-Raiser Full Armaments Type Part 1

Inspired by PG O-Raiser's full armament type, I tried so hard to find the replacement of those firearms. And Voila! I found this box in a local Model store at a price of 100HKD, and it seems to be a perfect match with my 1/100 O-Raiser.

After some intensive paintings, here comes the finished product:

AMM-1 GN Missile

RMS-1 GN Reactor Bomb

UUM-7 Micro GN Missile Pod

Finally, some pictures taken with both O-Raiser and its equipment.

The next step will be figuring a way to mount the equipment which at the same time allows to dismount it at later time without breaking the pieces.. I am thinking of using some pieces of magnet, any other suggestions?
