The skeleton frame of MG Impulse Gundam is made from grey plastic.

The part that connect the legs to the body consist of three parts; two plastic and one polycaps.

pic 08: connect

The part connects the leg with the waist.

pic 09: Stand

At this point the connected legs can’t stand on its own, unlike Infinite Justice. So we just use a Gundam Marker to make it a tripod..

This part connects the leg to the foot. consist of three parts.

pic 11: Foot

Skeleton for the foot consists of fout parts, with the completed one shown at the front. The foot for left and right side is different.

Compared with Infinite Justice Gundam, the legs looks very slim, from my experience of assembling it last time.

pic 14: Waist

The lower part of body connects to the waist. Consist of a ball joint.

pic 15: Connects..

The three parts connect together. the part at the right is used to hold and dock the Core Fighter of Impulse Gundam.

pic 16: Stands

The gundam stands a bit taller now.

pic 17: Connector

We are eager to pose the skeleton in flying mode, so we get a part to hook it up with the Action Base and the gundam. there are parts to mount the body, core fighter, the legs and silhouette pack to the action base.

pic 18: Connects

The parts connects easily with the skeleton.

pic 19: Mounted

Mounts without a problem, the skeleton is now flying! we can do more aerial poses like…

pic 20: Haiyak!

pic 21: Flying

More importantly, the legs does not fall off while is being mounted horizontally.

Next part will be the assembly of the Core Fighter of Impulse Gundam.

Recently I managed to grab the latest gundam kit in the Master Grade line, the MG Sword impulse Gundam. It was released in Japan last week on 17th April. In this post i will present to the model and the box before i assemble it!

pic 01: MG Sword Impulse Gundam

ZGMF-X56S/B Sword Impulse Gundam also appears on Gundam Seed Destiny series. Impulse Gundam is a versatile unit and can be equipped with different backpack according to needs, just like the Strike Gundam. There are three backpacks/configurations that appeared in the anime: the force impulse, sword impulse and blast impulse.

Main attractions to this gundam kit is compared to others:

• Backpack – Sword Impulse backpack consists of twin boomerang and also two “Excalibur” anti-ship sword.
• Can be disassembled into four separate units – chest flyer, leg flyer, core splendor and silhouette flyer
• Asymmetrical foot design

What attracted me, of course, is the two anti-ship swords! Also included is a conversion part that enables Striker packs from Strike Gundam to be attached to the Impulse Gundam. Aile Strike Impulse anyone?

What’s inside the box?

pic 02: Woah!

Stay tuned for more!

28 March, 8pm worldwide is Earth Hour. This one hour voluntary blackout is an event to show the world leaders that we citizens really respond in stopping global warming.

At UNIMAS, there are several hostels organizing activities. In Malaysia, all lights are switched off at 8.30-9.30pm (Malaysia time is late by half an hour), with hostel members encouraged to switch off their lights.. Let’s enjoy the pictures!

We joined the celebration at Cempaka college briefly.

We are also lucky because the night was starry, despite being cloudy on an hour before.

with lights switched off, we have a magnificent night sky

pic 11: stargazing

Taking long exposures (up to 30s), thats why there’s motion blur

Hopefully something is done to stop global warming!
