LAHIRE!! I loved this model in AC:FA, so fast
Though the weapons are pretty boring...we get the same weapon units from Unsung!
Oh yeah, and check this out. HW Japan already has LAHIRE up for pre-order, with 27% off the original price!

the latest AC designs looks really cool = just one question= how come i never seen any AC being sold in grafitti or even the low yat toy store? how does the packaging even look like? all i see is gundam......

Perhaps u can try XLshop.

They have them.

It's time for some more WIP pics!
Finally, after a long weekend, I decided to take some pictures of my progress. This is what I've got done so far...
I've hand painted the arms using Citadel acrylic paints (Skull White, Boltgun Metal mixed with Chaos Black, and Chaos Black)...no panel lining yet though


Well, for the side boosters, I've finished panel lining them after doing some quick painting...I've used Codex Gray for the wire/cable/tube part of the booster.
The rest are in the same color scheme as I've done with the arms.

perhaps you can try stores that carry Kotobukiya model kits such as TimeMachine, XL Shop, Famitoy etc

alicia unsung masuk xl shop already

How much in other stores? i sure hope the price is not sky high bcos the demand for this model seems to be pretty high

dunno yet. they not yet put price
their website inform alicia unsung ,Interior Union Y01 Tellus Gunmetal ver. & also Rosenthal CR Hogire Gunmetal ver.
masuk stock
thats the only info i got

can also, nice and simple, its from AC2:AA


got sell some @ time machine, but trust me. when i ask them got the Noblisse Oblige or not, they say no have, but when i browse the shop, i actually saw a bunch of em stacking up at the higher racks, prices arent worthy enuf, too expensive for me =___=. wont be stepping into tat shop anytime soon =___=, got bad experience with their service.


XL is very well known for their insane prices


i really need to get myself the White Glint & the VOB

As a matter of fact this item is not insanely priced by XL somehow hehe.

Just called them for stock availability, seems like alicia unsung is out of stock at Mid Valley XL.

If you're getting the VOB, be prepared for it's small size

Continuing on...

Yeah, the core is the next big thing I'm working on at the moment, but I'll get to that later...
Now...let's get to the back boosters. Just like the side boosters, I've finished painting them and touched things up with panel lining.
It's probably hard to notice, due to my novice photograph skills (sorry ) but...after painting the burners with Boltgun Metal + Chaos Black, I darkened a few places on them to make it have a burnt effect.


Moving on to the legs. I haven't panel lined the legs yet, but managed to get some painting done. I used Mithril Silver to paint the pistons at the back of the legs.


EDIT: Just finished working on the VOB
There are LOTS of small pieces in this kit, and some of the pieces didn't fit in too well, so I had to use super glue to fix them into place...
I'll post the pics soon, after the rest of the WIP pics are posted.

More WIPs!

? Something's missing from the legs? The feet! I added in a few details on the feet, but haven't done any panel lining yet The last picture is the under-view of the feet.


Now...let's get to the core unit. I still haven't finished painting this part yet, still got one more wing unpainted. After when the painting's done, I'll be getting on to panel lining.
The boosters on the core are a pain to hand paint

Hmm... i love the burnt effects

By the way, will you be doing simple weathering effects or chipping effects and battle scars?

Can't wait to see your next progress.

Keep it up!!!

just got the Alicia unsung from XL,but i guess i will not have time to assemble it until next year..

anyway before i bought it from XL,i have checked the price for Unsung Alicia,not much of a different compare to the supplier i have asked from hongkong/Japan and XL.

Wiggles: nice ,cant wait to see the finish product !! btw,it seems like you'r from the future huh?camera date stated 2010/01/07

This post has been edited by Look&See: Dec 21 2009, 05:18 PM

Well, next year only 10 days away

Seems like the price is the same everywhere, though i would like to see some price war but unfortunately there's not many AC kit seller in m'sia.

I'm expecting my Alicia Unsung to arrive tomorrow

haha,what i meant for next year could be ranging between January to December
spend a lot of time on my other AC models and also on the sinanju i bought 2 months ago.
the paint kills most of my time...

yeah,the price is around the same,i have asked for the price for lahire stasis as well and its
around rm200,more of less.already asked the supplier to keep one for me XD

sweet,do post the wips of your Alicia here:D i have done the rayleonard 03 Aaliyah supplice,i hope Alicia doesnt gets any harder
that that one:D

Thanks! Yes, I'm going to do some weathering using the pastels and dry brushing technique...I might do the chipping effects, but I need to do more research on it first



Haha oops, forgot to fix the date on my camera

And to finish up...a small update!

Ok, the last part. The head unit. This was the first part I've finished as soon as the priming was done. This was frustrating to assemble!
I had to use super glue to stick the stabilizer to the head because it was pretty weak, having the tendency to fall with ease.
Painted, added panel lines to both head and eyes...wish I could do LED modding...panel lines on the eye is barely visible without any light


The next update will be on something else...
Hint: It was used when going against this

i know this, its the Bernard and Felix Foundation's Spirit of Mother Will from AC:FA, play this stage on Hard mode really is something .
btw, can also check this one out, some much 'smaller' scale of it , http://www.geocities.jp/zoidingzero/SOM/Som.html, smaller than the Aaliyah Kpachar , lol.




i saw the Alicia & the other Hogire & Tellus Gun meta Versions today at Time Machine.

White Glint is actually RM300 , while Alicia is RM190, Vanguard Overboost is RM80. Kotobukiya Kits sure are expensive than the Bandai Gundams. T^T

and yeah i just saw this awsm review for the White Glint and the VOB, really would help Wiggles to paint his White Glint , i have yet to get mine still

http://schizophonic9.com/white-glint.html (White Glint)
http://schizophonic9.com/white-glint2.html (Vanguard Overboost)



^ to Wiggels, since ur doing it, how to do the burn effect on the White Glint ah? just strip the colour away with charcoal bit by bit? , might be useful advice when i buy one soon..

updates on the Lahire Stasis



looks like it's very similar to the AC:FA, the legs are seemed to be already bent forward, it's in its 'standing position'. And can still bending XD, and it carries only one LB stabilizers.
