Well, here it is after almost a half year of battling it out on Ebay, the 1/144 LM Leo Custom! And yeah, that's all the great things I have to say about it. Well, I didn't get my hopes up too high, just didn't really know what to expect. I figured there was a reason people battled up to nearly $70 a pop for one of these kits, but the reality is you just don't know what to expect when you buy an LM.

It comes with an awesome 105 mm rifle and is very flexible compared to the LM Daughtress [link] and LM Jenice [link] but decal wise it's not as impressive as either. It just has the run of the mill warning labels that are in Engrish (it's pretty humorous if you pull up a magnifying glass and try to read them, especially if you're an English language buff like myself, and your eyes are good enough to read them). I have a new program (SureThing Decal Maker) that allows me to custom make my own decals, but I'm still playing with it before I test it. I'd like to put a few ID tags its chest and the shield (it's a custom add on from a Tallgeese III kit) of the OZ logo with the suits call name, zodiac symbol, and maybe unit numbers. Like I said, I'm still in the play mode with the program and it may be months before I actually try it.

Though there's a lot of detail, a person (such as one unfamiliar with Gundam Wing as a series and only in models) really doesn't realize how much smaller the Leo is versus the Tallgeese that it is based off. I mean it's a pinky width (mine at least) difference from the head of the Tallgeeses to the head of the Leo. One of these guys stares at the Tallgeese's shoulders since its head is stationary. Though now my collection of official Gundam Wing model kits is complete, I feel rather disappointed. Ah well. Just have to keep kitbashing kits until I'm good enough to build Virgos and all the other exploding bastards.

And even the pic, though a nice show of the model's joint movements, made me nervous resulting in me twitching when I took it and a slight blur, though minimal at a smaller view. I guess I'm just nervous about finally being done with this crusade.
