MSN-06S Sinanju

Last Sunday (01/02/2009), i went to the Times Square with my girlfriend. I was searching for this new Mobile Suit Gunpla that have been attracting my attention ever since i saw it.



There are 3 main hobby store in Times Square. The XL Shop and i've forgot the name of the other 2 store. First we went to the XL Shop. There were none there. Then we went to the other shop which is located in front of the bowling alley. There are many there. But its quite pricy, RM 350 each. I've saw once that it was sold at RM 280 at Low Yat Plaza. But since i was with my girlfriend, and she was carrying her stuff, i have no heart to walk to Low Yat Plaza.



Then we went to the last hobby store in Times Square which is located at level 5th if im not mistaken. Target found! There were only 1 box left and it was sold at RM 280! Cheaper than the shop below. I ask my girlfriend should i grab 1. She said i should since its cheaper than the shop below, and there's only 1 box left.



I've desired for it in such a long time, i grab the box, pay the RM 280, and walk away with a smile. I ask my girlfriend dont she think im kinda weird to collect such stuff. She replied to me with a smile and she said no, she dont think im weird because her big brother also collecting this kinda stuff but only if its related with Naruto. Well, im glad. Im also glad to have such an understanding girlfriend as her. =)



Well, this is it. The Mobile Suit i've always wanted, MSN-06S Sinanju. It took me 3 days to complete assembling it. There this feeling of satisfaction when u assembling it on your own rather than buying a Gunpla that already been assembled.



Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (機動戦士ガンダムUC(ユニコーン), Kidō Senshi Gandamu Yunikōn?) is a serial novel by popular Japanese author Harutoshi Fukui (Shusen no Lorelei, Bôkoku no îgisu). The novel takes place in Gundam's Universal Century timeline. Character and mechanical designs will be provided by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and Hajime Katoki, respectively.

The novel begins in UC 0001, at the very beginning of human space colonization, and is said to cover an as yet unspecified major event that influences the course of human history forever. The main story takes place in UC 0096, three years after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack.

MSN-06S Sinanju



Unit type: prototype Newtype use mobile suit
Overall height: 22.6 meters
Base weight: 25.2 metric tons
Power generator output: 3240 kW
Maximum thrust: 128600 kg
Sensor radius: 23600 meters
Armor: gundarium alloy
Armament: beam rifle x 1
Pilot: Full Frontal
Mechanical designer: Hajime Katoki


Personal machine of Full Frontal, it strongly resembles the late Char Aznable's MSN-04 Sazabi. Developed by Anaheim Electronics, it equips a psycoframe and served as a testbed for the NT-D System. The resulting data was used by Anaheim to complete the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, and the Sinanju was subsequently stolen by Neo-Zeon in UC 0094.



Actually, the person in front of the Mobile Suit is not Full Frontal, its Char Aznable. Since Full Frontal was described to resembles Char, i decided to put Char in front of it as Full Frontal.



Full Frontal
Age: Unknown



The mysterious leader of the Neo-Zeon remnant forces who is described as the "2nd coming of Char". Like Char Aznable, he is a blonde man whose face is hidden behind a mask, and he wears a red uniform and pilots a red mobile suit. Similar to Char, he holds the Neo-Zeon remnants together with his high charisma. Whether the name is an alias is unspecified. On the contrary, his name holds the meaning of "stark naked"(or fully exposed) although it could easily be reference to a full frontal assault.



He plays around Barnarge and the others with his puzzling speech and behaviour. He is fighting against the Earth Federation for "the secret" of the foundation of the Universal Century. His face and tone closely resemble Char's. Nahel Argama's captain Otto, who watched Char's archived recordings, remarked that the voice is just like it.

Hi, this model looks fantastic. Can I ask if you did any airbrushing or painting to the model, because some other pictures show it as being bright red whereas yours is a much nicer shade of flat maroon.

Are the black and gold parts of the model painted on, decals or parts?

Thanks!
