Kotobukiya Frame Arms MSG Weapons Set 31 - Assault rifles

I recently bought some Kotobukiya Frame Arms Modeling Support Goods (MSG) Weapons Sets (phew!), specifically the Assualt Rifle  set (WS 31). Here they are, in use by HGUC Mecha that have the new standardized Zeonic and Federation hands that come with the RG weapon kits.

My quick review of them is this: They actually fit the hands, but they're still a bit bulky - the fists just barely make it to being fully closed. They work well for the mid- to large-sized mecha, but I don't think this will look good or work well with the smaller ones, like the Gundam X.

Both weapons look much better in Zeonic/Germanic hands. Here, the first photo is for how they are supposed to look with the actual Frame Arms units. Following photos will be on Gundam Kits.

Kotobukiya Frame Arms: MSG-X1R-Ex Hresvelgr "Scythias"

There isn't much here in terms of modifications, except that I equipped the standard Hresvelgr with the special weapons set Scythes from the Ater version.

One confounding issue about the Hresvelgr is that given its design, there's not much you can add to it without disrupting the transformation, or removing the nice weapons entirely. I'm still thinking about how to modify this mecha even more.

Gundam Exia "Display"

I've been working on something for the exhibit - and yes, there has been some planning. This may be the last time that you guys will see this in an assembled form, as I'm going to start stripping this down to pieces and work my way up.

Anyway, here it is:
