MG Sandrock WIP (backpack)

The backpack of MG Sandrock is not that hard to paint since it has only one color for it's outer parts (purple). However I painted the thrusters with Tamiya XF-56 metallic grey to have some distinction from other metallic parts. Here are the parts of the backpack after painting.

I then put the decals on its designated places.

Parts of the backpack are now group into three major sections. 

Here is the actual look of the backpack after being assembled. It can be seen that not all inner parts are covered with armors.

The lower portions of the right and left section can be move to lock the Sandrock's weapon when placed on it's back.

Right and left portions of the backpack can be moved upward and downward, and clockwise and counterclockwise. Articulations are really great!

MG Sandrock WIP (arms)

Finally, after more than a month I was able to post the latest update on my Master Grade Sandrock! Actually I finished this few weeks ago..it's just I don't have the camera with me because it really belongs to my sister. She took it in preparation of giving birth to her first born child. By the way congrats to her and her husband! =)

Anyway here are the pictures that I took for both right and left arms.

Next Seed Master Grade???

Since MG Duel Gundam Assault Shroud would be the lucky one to be released first as a master grade model kit for Gundam Seed this year..everyone is wondering what would be the next in line? Here's a possible hint of it's line up for the rest of the main mobile suit.

Based on above looks like the Buster Gundam would be next followed by Blitz, and finally the Aegis. I guess Bandai is really saving the best for last since Aegis Gundam is the main antagonist of the story plus the fact that it can transform.Gundam fans are just hoping that all of them will gonna be released this year. I also hope that other gundam models in the series will also be released just like the Justice Gundam. Let's just wait and see! :)
