Qubeley slightly modification

我對這套 MasterGrade 的套件大致上巳經很滿意了,所以只想把頭部和兩肩作輕微的修改~
Generally I am pretty statisfied with this Master Grade kit, so I just did a light modifications on the head and the 2 shoulders~


Qubeley 的"鳥嘴"原件感覺上有點鈍鈍的 > < ' , 所以我把它弄尖和修長一些, 出來效果更有"永野"的味道!
The "beak" area of this Qubeley kit looks a little bit flat to me > < ', so I decided to sharpen it up and make it more slim, and the result is a stronger feel of "Nagano Mamoru" style!

Qubeley 的兩肩是其設計的特點,可是感覺上這對1/100兩肩好象誇張了一點的寬闊! 決定把修剪細了!! 整體高x闊的比例都平衡很多!
The two big shoulders is certainly the design signiture of Qubeley! however, this pairs of 1/100 scale shoulders really looks a little too wide in porportion! so I decided to trimed it up and the overall porportion is much more balanced!

"Qubeley" color scheme

This MG Qubeley model was bought in long long time ago. I have 素組 it right t way on the night I brought it home. After so many years later I finally decided I want to spray paint it!!

The colour scheme will be slighty different to original scheme, which is more harmonlize with same hue of magenta in varies tones. I changed the blue circle vents on right shoulder into dark magenta and the inter mechanical parts and the hands in same tone to match with it. Which I suppose will looks more harmonlize and unquie (Recently I prefer to paint my gunplas in more harmonlized color scheme since most of the Gundam's mecha orginal color in the animation series are comes with multiple colours, due to commerical reason?? apperaling to more young audience (little kids at that age who attracted by colorfull objects)??
p.s. - RX78-2's red,blue+yellow is a typical example of colourful robot, however RX78-2's colour is so classic that I don't have any problem with it~ (althought it has been explained by it is being a test type colour)
p.s.2 - Not to mention gundam unicorn all white color scheme which definitely targeting some elder audiences, UC era gundam fans like myself!

Nagano Mamoru's Qubeley

MS AMX-004 "Qubeley" is one of the very unquie and famous MS first appeared in Z-Gundam series. It is designed by mecha master "Nagano Mamoru San 永野護先生" (who is famous for "The five star stories" and "Heavy Metal L-Gaim". The design of "Qubeley" has a very strong Nagano Mamoru's style which can found in many other robot design of him which is elegant, steam-lined, sharp and faminene(?)(well, not really~ but as least this one is!, since it is piloted by famale pilot "Haman Khan" "哈瑪·嘉大人"

浪漫のGunpla

傳說中高達模型這玩意是一種"男人的浪漫" , 我也十分同意...無論在製作過程中,或完成一個屬於自己的模型,感覺也十分使人着迷!希望在這裡與大家分享一下這種特別的"浪漫"!

一直也很想把有關高達模型的東西放上BLOG上, 這個想法現在終於開始實行了! (雖然在海外的時候也有時間製作了一個Gunpla的網站, 但這網站現在已被停用了!)
