HG Trans-Am Raiser- Completed!

Finally completed the Trans-Am Raiser! No paints or linings are needed for this kit, just a simple snap fit build ^^ Although I screwed up one of the binders of the 0 Raiser, some super glue and sandpaper saved the day. Hmm... I will talk about that later on.

Front view. The gloss injection looks awesome ^^

Articulation/ Clear parts

The 00 Gundam shines for its articulation and well, I did some painting for the clear parts. Painted it with clear red for the Trans-Am effect. ^^ Other than that, there's a glittering foil sticker underneath those clear pieces, they near blinded my eyes.

Head

The head is pretty simple. It can move all the way up and all the way down, no flaws for articulation ^^ But then, the stickers ob the V-Fin are a pain =(

Torso

A simple torso with 2 ball joints that allows it to move to the front, back and to the sides.

Arms and Waist

The shoulder allows the arms to go oall the way out and of course, all the way round. The elbow bends at awesome 180 degrees ^^ There's a extra joints which allow the wrist to go up and down even further.

Nothing special about the waist. The front and side skirts are connected to the waist with a tiny ball joint which is really very loose. =(

Legs

The legs was one of the major selling points for the 00 Gundam ever since it was released. The legs can split all the way out and bend 180 degrees. The feet can go in and out with no problem.

Some poses before continuing on to the 0 Raiser. ^^

And a small comparision with the original 00 Gundam I got a year back.

0 Raiser

Hmm..... looks pretty cool, but nothing special. Haha ^^

Anyway, here's the part which I broke. That grey piece there got stuck to the wings and it can't go in and not go out. The piece then shattered after forcing it out and I had to glue those pieces back. I then sanded down those lines =(

Anyways, here's a small comparision with the original ^^

00 Raiser

And now, it's time to show off the awesome 00 Raiser! Basically, the 0 Raiser just mounts onto the back of 00 Gundam and it's binders are mounted to 00 Gundam's Twin GN Drives.

Accessories

This kit came with a crap load of stuff. And firstly, lets get to the best weapon of all ^^

GN-Sword III

Nice clear green piece there ^^

The GN-Sword III, like other GN-Sword types, can be transformed into both rifle and sword mode. ^^

But what is different for this sword is that it emmits a HUGE beam, which can easily destroy a few ships ^^

Raiser Sword!

GN-Sword II

Again, the swords can be transform between the sword and rifle mode. ^^ But then, I think this design is kinda funny O_O

The swords can also form a huge spear, lance thingy ^^

Other than that, the GN-Sword IIs can also emmit huge beams. It destroyed the fearsome Memento Mori and Empruss by doing so ^^

Beam Sabers

Nothing special about the beam sabers. Just an add-on beam effect part for this kit ^^

GN Daggers

The shield can mounted onto the GN-Drives holders, 0 Raiser wings, 00 Gundam's elbow and even form a shield when put together ^^

So that's all for the Trans-Am Raiser. If you really like the 00 Raiser and haven't get a kit of it. Get this rather than the recent PG release and the 1/100 scales. This is alot cheaper and doesn't require any paintings at all ^^

Till the next post!
