GunSaber Z ガンセイヴァーZ

This is another kit that I salvaged together with the Commando Gundam, both of them are the works in my teen years.  Now that I look at it, my painting style really haven't changed much since then

G Saber or G Savior?  I am not sure about the name.  He comes with 4 spring loaded gun and no melee weapon, and the shield can not be equipped on his hands.

Light equipped mode.

 Z from behind.

 With the chest plate, this is his battle mode.

 Z is definitely one of the better looking early BB kits.

 All the weapons can be put together as his support mecha.

 Jet Flyer Mode.  The transformation is a bit forced, but it still kind of looks good.  Plus not having to remove the head is a plus.

 The highlight is definitely the missiles on the side guns.

 His weakness is landing according to the story.

 View from behind.

 Mach Saber Mode.

 Front Gatling Gun was extended and the shield is held in front.

 Also the eyes can be switched to scope mode.

 From the bottom it looks more like a fighter jet.

 Standing on the ground.

 Shooting range time.

As expected, the missiles didn't go far, but the regular bullet still shoots well after 20 years.

Commando Gundam コマンドガンダム

 

It took me a while to get here but I am finally "introducing" this kit.  If it wasn't for this, I probably wouldn't get back into building models again.  I found this in my old home last year, it was built and painted by myself over 20 years ago, I must say it is still in pretty good condition, and I really didn't get ANY better in painting them. X-D

 

 Here's the weapon set for Commando Gundam, the character is inspired by none other than Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger's Commando.  Just look at this, he has got one of the heaviest firepower amongst all the BB senshi.

 Commando Gundam from the front.

 Commando Gundam from behind.

 Survival knife, his only close quarter weapon.

 Missile Launcher and shot gun.

 Fully equipped mode.

 We won't get into how he can move around with all these weapons.

 Mega Launcher mode.

 The pinnacle of BB senshi firepower.

 

 NOT going to miss the target this time.

And after all bullets hit, the dummy is still standing!

F90 ガンダムF90

 

 Gundam F90 is one of the less popular Gundam but it has a special place in my heart.  I spent many hours on the Super Famicom Gundam  F91 game, in that game, 80% of the time you are actually using F90 and you only get to use F91 at the very last stage, and that gave me plenty of time to get to know about this Gundam who has multiple equipment set and eventually learned to love it.

 The kit I got is the G-Generation A,P,V type.  In the official story, F90 has 26 weapon set from A to Z(!).  But even with just three he's got all the basics covered.  The play value of this kit is ridiculous, just look at all the parts!

 F90 from the front.

 The blue beam saber looks nice, I used some stickers for the chest and skirt, so lazy.

 Beam Rifle, this is the spring loaded weapon for F90.  Also notice the shield can be mounted on the side of his arms.

 F90 from behind, the gray clips are suppose the attaching point for different equipments.

 Parts for the A(Assault) Type.

 This is also the first equipment you use in the SFC version.  it's suppose to be use for long range travel.

Didn't bother to paint the back, it's suppose to be white in the center.

 

 Beam Bazooka, it's just a weapon for show.

 P(Plunge)-Type, this equipment is used for entering the atmosphere.

 This is primarily a safety equipment, so the only extra weapon is the machine gun pod on the left shoulder.

 The right shoulder is the radar.

 P-Type from behind.

 Take off the head, and you can transform into the fighter mode.

 Fighter mode from behind.

 I keep thinking the cockpit part is reversed, but I guess that is not the canopy, as the pilot should be sitting inside the robot.

 V(VSBR)-Type.

 V-Type has a bunch of fin heat disperser.  And the machine gun on the side is also a nice touch.

 Beam Shield.

 V-Type from behind.

 VSBR equipped.

 But the main weapon is till the Beam Rifle.

Even with all the fancy equipments, at the end of the day, we are still relying on the good old Beam Rifle.

And a powerful one at that, it knocked the dummy down.
