Musha Keroro Robo


Kururu!!! Is this thing working??? You better get the camera working while I go and change my clothing.


Greeting Pekoponians. I should cut the crap and get straight to the point. I am here to extend my invitation to you all to join me OR face the consequence of extinction! I am ready for my close up.


Thank you Kururu. Now back to my declaration, I have kidnapped one of your scientist like what I did previously and force him into building mecha for the mighty Keron empire. He wont be around for quite awhile so stop looking for him.


First of all, let me introduce to you all my lastest ride! :D



I will be able to ride around town in style after the invasion is over!


And let me present the Musha Keroro Robo! The state of the art mecha with oriental design. The Shin Musha Gundam is nothing compare to this babe of mine! Muahahahaha!!!


Look at the sleek design!


I will whack you with my lance!


A side view of the mecha. It looks awesome no matter where you look at it.



It can even transform into beast form! Dont force me to trample you with this.

I have showed you the might of the Keron empire, I will now accept your unconditional surrender!!! Kerokerokerokerokero!!!

MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame

This kit was produced around 2-3 years ago and it has been sitting on top of my shelf for quite a while. I have been working on mostly MG kits and I thought it will be refreshing if I can work on something else like a NG kit.

The Astray Red Frame is the second unit produced by Orb Union’s Morgenroete corporation under the Astray Project based in Heliopolis. The Project was initiated for the development of prototypes which will eventually be used for the building of the five GAT-X series gundams. Lowe Guele, a technician from the Junk Guild was the one responsible to recover the Astray Red along with Blue and some part from the Astray Gold in the wreakage of Heliopolis.

















This is practically an OOB kit with a LED installed on the head. It was surprisingly simple to get that LED into the head and the result looks good. Too bad, the light effect is not that obvious in the picture.

Once again, comments and critiques are welcome.

EXTRA!!!

Alot of people insist that I post some photos on how I install the LED so here it goes.



Installing the LED on the 1/100 Astray Red is a walk in the park. As if the kit is design to ease the modification. First of all, remove that red part located at the back of the head.


A close up look of the back of the head.


There is an empty space conveniently located right above the polycap. All you need to do is to enlarge that space for you to slip a 3mm LED into the area. I broke the right part of the head when I disassemble the kit to snap this picture. It was darn frustrating... @**$&!@#. Once the LED is in place, the wiring has to be soldered into the contact. The base of the red part that was removed earlier need to be enlarged to allocate space for the wiring.


A side skirt from the MG Strike Gundam was used to house the batteries.




It is a tough work for me but its worth all the effort once you see the final product.
