Perfect Grade Astray (red Frame) Model Construction

[Tater Mane]

A quick eBay search says otherwise.

But hey, I could be wrong.

Not bad, I'm considering buying the 1/100 version of this.
So far your construction is looking good but when you go
to take the close up photos, try and use macro if your cam
has one. Makes the up-close shots come in clear and not
fuzzy.

oh ooo put a ruler next to it for scale comparison!

This thread is making it really hard to stay focused on Halo projects, and not run off to my workbench to start working on my 1/100 (not PG though ) Red Frame.

AH! Gomen! Please don't forget about your armor projects on my account! I'd feel bad as I can't work on my own armor project due to work.

Small update as I need to be getting to bed. The model is a total 12" tall. That means at full size the real thing is: 60 feet tall!

Pics this coming update will include the fully built frame, and armaments. Also my model kit puts on some pants!

 

[GuardianBaku]

Here we go! Full frame constructed! And Armoring and Loading up also begins!

Time to complete: 2 hours

Full Frame stands 12" tall! Full scale is 60' tall!!!

Again with measure set across. For a model this is massive!

Arms flex fully just like yours and mine.

The head has a battery box but I need to get one for it.

Fingers are fully articulated too!

This model simply rocks!

Now it wears pants, guess it didn't drink the worm.

These plates of armor really beefed out the size of the legs!

Plates move as the legs bend and move for the coolest effect ever!

Here he is posed with his armaments. He's ready for some serious battle!
​

Next update will most likely finish up the model kit! I so excited and can wait to pose it for awesome pics!!!
Till then!

 

[SPARTAN II]

Sweet! I've always liked the look of the Astray. Real sleek and bad-@$$, all at the same time heh

Just how tall does that thing stand, btw? I don't know if you've mentioned the height earlier; I kinda jumped right to the pics

EDIT: Never mind that last part. I saw the measurements in the first pic of that last set you posted above, lol.

 

[CommanderFluffy]

wow that thing is huge with the tape mesure now. now i can see the scale quite well! awesome!

 

[GuardianBaku]

Here it is! The finished model kit! Posed with Love, Care and Weaponry! Enjoy!

Dual Wield Plasma Cannons? Yes Please!

New Halo Armor?

Shield + Beam Saber

Gerbera Straight x1

Poised for the killing blow!

Gerbera Straight x2!

Hotness, Personified

Awaiting the next challenge.

The articulation is amazing!

Most of the weapons have stowable points handy for when you need quick access to weapons to do the job.

Ready for battle!
​

This was an amazing experience! I want more PG Models now more than ever! I will have more pics because I need to get the CR1220 cell to put in the head for the light up eyes. So once more, Till Then!

 

[EMOD360]

That things crazy lols. I would never have the time and/or patience to build one of these.
What was the full construction time on the gundam?

 

[Loess]

That is really nice! I'll have to find a bit of time for some Gundam models. Theres a MG Aille Strike, MG GM Sniper, and the 1/100 Red Frame waiting on my bench, calling to me...

Who wants to go start a Bandai Model showoff Thread?

Over Five Days it took about 8h 40m to construct.

 

[SPARTAN II]

Holy freakin' sweet sweetness!

Over Five Days it took about 8h 40m to construct.

Wow... that's actually a pretty decent (as in short, quick) duration for a build like this. I so want to get myself one of these now, lol. Nice job, Baku

Not bad, amazing work on the Astray Red, how many runners were there in that kit?
Seeing this makes me want to order more gundam models, probably some more PG models, might go with the PG Zeta, PG GP01/GP01FB, and a couple MG models, to add to my collection.

Runners? I'm not sure what that means. First time I've heard it really.

When you first got the model, you had to cut all of the pieces off of big plastic "trees".

A runner is that big plastic tree and the pieces that are attached to it.

Where did you buy this?

OH! I call them piece boards. There are about 33 boards in the main box.

Where did you buy this?

Hobby Link Japan

The bonus parts aren't available anymore apparently so you'll have to settle with the unlimited edition.

What came in the sekirit red box?
