At last, the
1/144 HGUC Kämpfer gunpla I've mentioned
two weeks ago is here! As promised I did finish it by the weekend, but was too busy to actually get the photoshoot done orz. Anyway, let's go to it~
The white colour scheme is inspired by the Wii game MS Sensen 0079. The Kämpfer was the unlockable MS on the last mission of story mode on the Zeon side. Since there are different colour schemes to choose (or you can customise your own), I chose white to go with the Arctic battlefield. The sivery lustre of the MS shines gorgeously with the blazing sun and the pure white snow, that I said to myself "I need to get a Kämpfer one day and paint it white", and I did ^^;
On a side note, the Kämpfer has the highest cost on the Zeon side in-game (yes more than Gelgoogs), and is even more expensive than the Gundam and the G-3! Only NT-1 Alex and Full Armour Gundam has exceeded it in terms of unit cost. o_o
Kämpfer in full arms. The two bazookas at the back do look intimidating.
This picture shows how much seam lines and nub marks I have left behind as a casual modeler -_- , but the main point here is the extra shotgun stored at the back and the thrusters.
Huge arsenal of weapons. I'm still surprised that it can carry all these things in one go (well not sure about the chain mine).
The one-shot Sturm Fausts (*cough* Panzerfaust *cough*) are stored on each side of the legs.
"Bring it on!"
"You want some of this?"
"Say your last words."
"I'll chop ya!"
"Do NOT mess with me."
This is one of my favourite poses while doing the shoots.
The bazookas have to be unmounted from the back before use, or else it could only shoot things directly above the Kämpfer (the hands could reach but the bazookas cannot be lowered when mounted).
And of course what's a Kämpfer without its famous chain mine?
Overall I'm very pleased with my white Kämpfer, or as some of you call it the "Fat Patlabor" lol. Although I am really casual towards model building, I may do some touch-ups on it next time I go back home.
And finally, a scenery to finish it off:
Depsite a very shoddy take-on with Photoshop I am quite pleased with how it turned out ^^;
