Thanks winn! Nothing specials on my color schemes, will paint them at least the same colors from the artworks. Well, as for the build, lots of parts compared to the 1/144 HG Gundams. Lots of small parts. Had a hard time on some seams, lots of sanding, but easy to paint because parts are molded on its color. The OOB R-1 does not have good articulation. I did lots of mods on this baby to have more articulation, at the same time maintaining its form and transformation. Was hard but love it after I finished it. R-2 is also finished, just ran out of battery. Here's an OOB R-1 review from dalong.net dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/srw15/srw15_p.htmvic01 |

As for the decals, I asked help from Samuel of Samueldecals to print some names, will change some decals from the kits when he prints them and delivered.. For the other markings, they came from various Bandai waterslide decals and customs from a hobby shop from NY.

sadly they didn't manage to make the SRX using the 1/144 scale R-series..and I hope they release the R3 and angelG soon..I wanna complete my SRX team and ATX team(since ryukooh is not comming out I think)..and I wish kotobukiya will make compatible kaizer too..he'll be a nice addition for the SRW line..

Thanks as always for checking my collections guys! I think I am now a die-hard fan of OG mechs, I know some people say that they are just rip-offs of other mechs like our all time fave Gundams but they are not. SRWOG mechs were also designed by Gundam mechs designers like Katoki (SRX, Huckebein series, ART-1, Wildwurger...), and Kunio Okawara (Gespenst series) so we see the resemblance. OG made an impact on their own terms. Hope there is a SRWOG contests, I will try my luck. kasmichan: Don't worry my friend, everything is possible now. SRX is like a flagship mech of OG IMHO, so they might consider a 1/144 scale. Just look @ the Cybuster, from nonscale to 1/144. Same as the non-scale Dygenguar to 1/144 scale. So it's only a matter of time. But first, we need a 1/144 R-3 Powered too to complete the non-combiner SRX-team. Here's my next finished model: R-2 Powered (Real Personal Trooper Type-2 Powered) R-2     Weapons: Magna Beam rifle, 2 Hi Zol Launchers, 2 shoulder shields. It also has a Chakram on its right arm, still on the works. R-2P      Beware of blast!          With its buddy, R-1. Height comparison  W/ 1/144 GFF R-78-2  W/ GX-45 Mazinger Z  RD Nirvash Type Zero spec2 in addition. Flying poses  Took me 15mins to get R-2P hold on the stand. It is heavy and bulky.    Thank you for viewing!!! Up next: Alteisen and Weissritter, w/ Rampage Ghost attack! ;D vic01 |

@vic
SRX is the main body of the 3 custom R series..it's something you can call "megazord" form of the 3..oh yeah cybuster already have a fully transformable 1/144 that comes with a special LOE base exclusive just for him..dyzengar already has the electronical 1/144..grungust type 2&1 also has the fully tranformable model kit too..
I'm looking for alteisen reisse so my rein wiess will have it's partner..I just recieve my rein wiess yesterday^^ it very cool and very well designed to imitate the game model..I'll post it later here after I finished painting the parts to be painted.^^

kasmichan: Congrats on acquiring Rein WeissRitter! Also just for information, the Cybuster you were talking about is not a 1/144 model kit, it is made by SHE, a fully transformable and a Non-scale resin kit. The 1/144 Cybuster model kit is coming out by November from Koto. Just a teaser! Some pics I took for my next gallery... Alteisen and Weissritter    I will buy a flickr upgrade account for a year. I think using flickr will show up the true quality of a DSLR. Will continue the gallery as soon as I get out from work today. vic01
