SD 323 Kochu Gundam

Archer of the dawn

A commander of Keishuu Troops. Helped the combined Shou and Gou troops together with Gien during the Battle of the Red Cliff. His armor is designed after the G-Defenser. After the Red Cliff battle on the defeat of the Keishuu army, he and Gien travelled to Shou. An old general but a highly skilled archer.

Actor: Gundam Mk-II (Super Gundam)

Finish the story introduction, this BB Senshi was based on the character "黄忠" - Kochu, one of the five tiger generals of country Shou. Famous with his archer skills, Kochu was came with a giant bow and a quiver on his back. A silver sword was attached on his waist in case for combat.   
  
    
  
Zankuutou (斬空刀)
    

  
Eishinkyuu (鋭真弓)
    

Another mode of the kits, with Ryuushingai (龍身鎧) attached, just like the super gundam.
  
    
    

Kochu transforms into a fortress mode, against the air units.  
  
    

I want to call this the "Sagittarius" mode, Kochu put down another two "legs" to gain more support from the ground and prepare for a deadly blow ^^
  
The shoulder armor can be joined and form the ultimate bow: Ryuurin Gouretsukyuu (龍燐剛烈弓)
    
    
    

Who is the best archer in the story?


Thank you for reading, The End.

1/144 Gundam Heavy Arms

This one may be my last "no grade" model collection on Gundam W series^^ I try to advance to a new level of modeling and accept more challenge grade such as RG or MG. This time the model is the 1/144 Gundam Heavy Arms. 

As the name mention as "Heavy Arms", it was designed with maximum firepower in mind. Piloted by a young man "Twora Barton" under the operation meteor. 

Let's look at this no grade 1/144 model:


The design concept of the Heavy Arms was for it to have an extraordinary amount of guns: a heavy fire role. 

  
Here come with the gating gun attach on the model right arm. The gun can be carried on the back when no in use.

    
    

  
    
    
    

  
Another gimmick of the kits was the chest plating can be opened and more missiles head were stored inside, the kits itself missiles cannot take out as they were mount together with the armor of shoulder and chest as well :)  

The side shirt and the legs missile box cannot be opened due to the kit grade limitations.
  
        

In the case when ammo was running out, an army knife was stored on the back of left arm and can be used in combat. 
  


  
    


As this was a no grade kits so I have no comment on the articulation, This kit bring back a lot of memory to me when I was a boy. Together I attached a photo of all the three no grade kit of mine.

Thank you for reading^^
