MONUMENT SERIES 01: FREEDOM GUNDAM
BANDAI MG 1/100 scale plastic kit

Finally had a photo-shoot session with my Freedom Gundam after it had a 3 months stay in Hobby Art Gallery. It was initially named Memorial Exhibit during the Hobby Art Gallery competition in August 05'... but now that name is not in use anymore and it is placed in a new collection series named Monument Series.
We often seen famous Mobile Suit units got shot down or destroyed in gundam universe, hence I came up with the idea of this Monument Series. It is a series that showcased fallen Mobile Suits in memorial statue form. I will present them the best that I can, as an art piece rather than a model kit... as that is the idea that I had originally.
Freedom Gundam will be the 1st Mobile Suit in this series. Although I had a crucified Black Astray but I won't be including it in this series, instead I will remake another one solely for this series. The 2nd Mobile Suit in line has been decided but won't be reveal as yet. hehe... I hope to make this series grow in the future and as exquisite as possible.

The poster as seen here was specially designed for the Monument Series. Let me explain the design of this poster.
I applied abstract impression on it, and what you see is not Freedom Gundam behind an archway but it's actually Freedom Gundam been carved on a tombstone. The off-white portion symbolised a tombstone with Freedom Gundam as the "picture" on it and the wordings as description for the tombstone. The rusty "archway" actually protrays the grass and stuffs that are behind the tombstone. Mobile suits - metal - monument - rusty... these ended up being the inspirations for the visuals. Lastly, the "01" means that this is the 1st Mobile Suit in this series.

Pictures of the Freedom Gundam are here, I hope you will enjoy it. :)

Long awaited... Freedom Gundam completed!

Wednesday, August 31, 2005

The Freedom Gundam as promised to be announced in 3rd Quarter 2005 has finally been completed.
It was submitted as an entry to a local hobby competition organised by Hobby Art Gallery; in which the event ended a few days ago. I submitted this model solely for the purpose of supporting the event because the owner of Hobby Art Gallery is a friend of mine, so I never thought of winning anything from the competition... but it surprised me when a Merit Prize was announced for this Freedom Gundam.
I enjoyed the 2 days event during the weekend very much, mingling and chat about the hobby with fellow modellers. I was also very happy to receive nice comments on my model, and a friend of mine actually wanted to buy it. Haha.. I am really flattered. Well, it's time to get back on creating more wonderful models so that I won't disappoint those who like my works so far. :)

The Freedom Gundam is now presently displaying in Hobby Art Gallery, I will do a photo session with it when I get it back. For those who wish to know roughly how it looks like, I've got pictures here taken by fellow modeller MechaEd during the competition. Thanks MechaEd for the pictures. :)

As for the Zaku Warrior which is supposed to be announced in 3rd Quarter 2005, I regret to inform that this project will be postponed to a later date. So sorry for those looking forward to it. Will definitely aim not to disappoint when it is done... in the near future.
