1/144 OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II - The Martyr #Gundamber

1/144 OZ-00MS2 Tallgeese II - The Martyr #Gundamber

Manufacturer: Bandai

Scale: 1/144

Inspiration: 

    After completing the HG Chedurim SAGA, I needed another Gunpla project to do during the remainder of #Gundamber. Once I remembered I had this kit, I had to think what I wanted to accomplish. I set myself the goal of not taking any shortcuts in regards to the seam lines, which, a kit of this age, is sure to have. After some thought, I remembered that this suit had a short debut, but it's demise was climactic - which led me to try to recreate the scene.

    Every November, @GunplaClub starts the hashtag #Gundamber - a gunpla building challenge to work on a model kit every day and hopefully finish the project at the end of the month. It is very much like #NaNoWriMo, or "National Novel Writing Month", and #Inktober. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, GunplaClub took a more hands off approach, but I still participated as my way to stay connected to the community at large. 

I usually choose to leave my Gundam kits "factory fresh" with little wear and tear, but I decided this kit would get a different treatment. One of the more memorable scenes in the anime is how the suit is destroyed - this kit will pay an homage to that scene. Its destruction and what he inspired gives this kit its namesake.

I won this kit through my local IPMS's local raffle still wrapped in plastic. There were English instructions included,  the Gundam Wing pamphlet contained information the American model kit releases.

1/144 HG GN-008/SA Chedurim SAGA #Gundamber

 

Manufacturer: Bandai

Scale: 1/144

Inspiration: 

    The MS Variations of the 00 Season 2 suits are some of my favorites. After having to make my own Seravee Gundam GNHW/3G/B, buying the Robot Damashii Arios Ascalon, I was thrilled to see Bandai release a model kit of the Cherudim SAGA. The commando nature of the model kit lent itself well to a camouflage. I had always respected builders who did Digital Camo schemes, but due to the size of the figure, I went with a stripped winter pattern instead.

I'd always wanted to try a kit with Digital Camouflage,  so this is an approximation of that.
