Gundam 00V: GN-001/hs-A01 Avalanche Exia

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Well, since my last post about using the Mr. Metal Color, I am pleased to say that I have completed the 1/100 GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia from the Gundam 00V. I’ve made some changes to the kit as retaining the chest vent from the Exia instead of going along with the pieces for the Avalanche Exia. In addition, I’ve even changed the color scheme. In my humble opinion, the Avalanche Exia has got too many yellow sections. I have also reduced the amount of red used.

Also, I’ve started to try to use some metal paints on this Gunpla. Besides the  GN Sword, I’ve also tried the brass paint for the thrusters.  Some aluminum paint was used for the eyes, the lower arm modules, the chest orb, the sides of the head plus a bit for the GN Drive.  Since the Gunpla kit doesn’t provide green colored-translucent plastics, I used Tamiya’s clear green to solve that.

Overall a nice kit though it is definitely top heavy. Some removable adhesive, will help by sticking them to the feet. You have been forewarned ;) . Without further ado, here is  the GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia review.
