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.
