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?

Guitar build complete!

Meet Pumpkin! :D

 

 Pau ferro fretboard!

 DiMarzio Tone Zone!

 Quartersawn canary neck!

 

One more shot with my orange seatbelt strap XD
I'm just missing a green knob (or a pumpkin knob haha) and it'll be 100% complete! :D

This was my first guitar build and I learned many things. SUPER happy that it turned out amazing! She plays super well and sounds huge! :D This is my first single humbucker guitar (I've wanted one for a while) and I find it sounds a lot better than guitars with 2+ pups...simplified circuit perhaps? She has nice clean sounds too! but distortion will be where it's at for this one ;)

This guitar also has quite a few new features to me. First being the 10"-16" compound radius fretboard. I must say this feels AMAZING...so comfy all over the neck. The second would be stainless steel frets. They feel smoother when bending but I still need to polish them at some point. Third would be the raw canary neck. Warmoth says that it's ok for it to be unfinished and right now it really feels great! You can really feel it vibrating when you play :)

Will post the rest of the in-progress pics later...for now, I'm too excited about it! :D

Guitar build cont'd!

 Got a package from GFS today. Here's a quite pic with the parts together!

Looks neat :D
The body feels incredibly cheap tho (well it was only $50 :P) haha. There are lots of weird dents/scratches but feels pretty light. Can't wait to see how the whole thing sounds! The bridge is really hefty! They weren't kidding when they said "huge brass block!" The tuners feel alright, nothing too special but don't feel super cheap. Pickguard is pretty nice too :)

The rest of the parts are still in the mail...neck should arrive next week. Can't wait!

Guitar build!

My first guitar build! The nickname is "pumpkin" for now hahaha
Here's a mockup from photoshop:

Specs:
Neck is a quartersawn piece of canary with a pau ferro fingerboard from Warmoth. Compound 10"-16"in radius with huge stainless steel frets :P Standard thin carve with cream dots :) Since this is my first build I wanted a nice neck I wouldn't have to modify much to get working properly so most of the budget of this build went here :P

Everything else is from GFS to keep the final price down. Trans orange poplar strat body. 6-point trem (different from the picture) with a huge brass block. Black hardware and staggered gotoh-style locking tuners

The pickup is a dimarzio Tone Zone. Why green? Well...initially I was looking for a black one but then I saw a green one on ebay so I said "What the heck...it'll look like a pumpkin XD"


Future upgrade considerations
-will definitely put in a neck single coil at some point and add a tone control...just gotta save up some money and decide what kinda pup I want there first
-might upgrade the body in the future if I end up not liking the feel of it. I went with a budget body so I could practice putting something together and even if I mess up I won't be in tears.

GN-0000GNHW7S 00 Gundam + GN sword 3 Inspection

Note that this is not a MG, it is a garage kit incorporated with the 1/100 00 Gundam frame.

This special kind of 00's profile really exists and takes a role in 00V senki, I will add more information about this mecha in future update XD

Edited on Aug 11, 2011:

Finally finished the buster sword II, but it is too heavy that 00 cannot stand with it mounted on the shoulder. = ="
