Weekend night doing Gundam model kit

// September 6th, 2009 // No Comments » // Toys, photography

It was weekend and I stayed over at office. It is very kind that my Boss let me stayed over at office for the long weekend, so that I am able to do my own stuff comfortably(have air-conditioner XD ) & I also have a mission to complete, which is to help my boss build his Gundam (GN-001REII Gundam Exia Repair II), which is a High Grade 1/144 scale model.

This is actually the 2nd Gundam I’ve built, the 1st one is RX-78-2 Gundam, a 1/200  scale model kit, given by my generous boss (I have no idea why he gave me, even I never watch Gundam before)

My very 1st Gundam, RX-78-2

After finished my 1st model kit, I found out that it is quite fun to putting all the small pieces of ‘robot’ part and at the end you built something interesting. I’m kinda like miniature and small figures toys. So with the new interest that I gained from the 1st Gundam, I asked permission from my boss if I can fix his Exia Repair II Gundam which is 10% done and being left out in the box for quite sometime. My very busy boss seems glad that I can help him fix his gundam, and I am happy too, because it is a High Grade and it is more complex and more parts that my first gundam! Thank you Boss! (a.k.a. Lin)

I also learned some techniques from Zi Siang & Zi Ping in fixing the model kits. They are ‘expert’ for me, they have a lot of equipments and of course Skills! I borrowed all the needed equipments from them, just some simple tools such as cutter and nail sanding stick for beginner like me =)

After about 8 hours of building time, The  Gundam Exia Repair II is finally done.

I love my internship! haha, thanks  my boss for giving me a chance to fall into this dark side of playing model kits, it is fun bulding it and I enjoyed it very much! Hope next time can try MG gundam!

ps* I do these during weekend and after working hours, I do work hard when I should [to my lecturers]. =p
