Just another Gunpla Page! But I make other plastic scale models for fun as well!
Bandai 1/144 HG XXXG-01SR Sandrock
I wasn’t keen on the Wing Gundam anime when it first air in Japan. Hence I wasn’t interested in the original release of the 1/144 model kits. It is only when I recently watched Build Divers, I saw how they were able to customise the Wing Zero and the Altron I started to get some inspiration.
It is not until I realised Bandai have released the “revive”Sandrock. Maganac and Heavyarms and in 2021 Deathscythe, I started to get serious and planned to collect and build the Wing Gundam Suits.
I wasn’t keen on the original white base and blackish scheme, which I thought it wasn’t really “Sandrock”looking and it is too different to the Maganac. I decided to give it a sandy beige base with a dark brown tone to give it a desert scheme. Sandrock is also a leader to the Maganac so the desert theme is much more suitable.
I read that the pilot of the Sandrock comes from a rich family and hence I thought a bit of yellowy god will be just right to show his family wealth. I have also kit bashed the wings of the Jiyan Altron to made 2 huge fangs to the cobra shield.
I actually quite pleased with the design of Sandrock as I think it gives a Roman Centurion vibe, hence I coloured the fangs red since I have always remembered Roman Centurion Officers wear a red cape in the history books.
The Wind Gundam kits are usually a bit smaller in scale to the UC design, which you can see side by side with R-78 Origin.
So far I only have 3 Wing Gundams kit; I have preordered Heavyarms so I am hoping it will arrive before Christmas 2020.
You can’t have Sandrock without the Maganac and the Leos! I have customised one of my Leo to look like a “Tallgeese“! If you enjoy my work please feel free to browse my other other previous work to help keep this project going.
