Master Keita does not disappoint. EVER. This is like the best looking Hi-v Gundam I’ve seen in a LONG time (before the MG redesign). Mere mortals like me can only dream in my dream of making something like this out of a HGUC Hi-v and vGundam. Not sure if all of you have seen the gallery before but it’s worth looking at again. Link is here. Oh yea… he auctioned this model off for 108,000 yen (that’s ~$1100). The starting bid was only 5000 yen. Just saying…
Let’s not forget he also created a very badass “MG” Astray Red Frame Ver. Ke as well. Not sure if it is safe showing this one at the moment though since it might skew our perception/expectations for the upcoming MG Red Frame from Bandai ^^;.
Yea… it’s a bit sad to see such works of art being sold off instead of being kept but I have a feeling he would have relatively little to no problem producing another one again… but only better ^^;.

December 26, 2009 at 4:16 AM
Is Keita Human???? XD!
December 26, 2009 at 5:34 AM
I’ve seen this guy’s work before,I think it was a gold strike model. Extremely talented!
December 26, 2009 at 6:19 AM
I think I saw that Hi-nu conversion a month ago?
Really cute Gundam girl drawn for Keita’s Red Frame there. ^^
December 26, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Great Scott…you sure this guy doesn’t work for Bandai? He could make millions! I can’t really read anything on his site but the pictures speak for themselves…how does he make those parts? Casting? O__o
After seeing the Hi-v modified like that it makes my own look like trash…there are some truely amazing people in this world, hunh?
December 26, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Wow does that kick ass.
December 26, 2009 at 6:53 PM
Look great:d. But I think it is not much better then the hi-v HWS resin kit of VP. Take a look at the resin kit Z^^

Bad@$$ ^^
December 26, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Looks like Lelouch’s Christmas wish came true ^^
December 26, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Like the Hi-Nu, but the Red Frame looks pretty… odd? Something about it’s face is off. To ridged? Looks like it was partly scratch built.
The DC23 site, that’s hardcore modeling. I can’t find myself to do such modifications on gunpla, maybe a kit bash.
December 27, 2009 at 12:55 AM
forsaken, while that link has some great looking models but I prefer the “clean” mods over the super-extra-heavy-modified models.
Erazer, which entry you talking about?
Mathai, I believe you’re referring to the Kurenai IWSP? that one is stunning too…
Lelouch, just follow his “remodeling explanations” and you’re well on your way to making your models look like his ^^;
pdsi, wow… the two have the exact same background. That one does look pretty awesome as well ^^.
Ahya, I think the face is scratch built xD
Anyone have any idea on how that background is achieved?
December 27, 2009 at 2:34 AM
@ Z I was talking about the Philippines entry to the BAKUC 2009^^. how do you post a picture link here?
December 27, 2009 at 2:45 AM
copy and paste?
December 27, 2009 at 3:26 AM
hehehe well anyway they posted the pics on the BAKUC community on facebook^^ sorry for the trouble
December 27, 2009 at 3:29 AM
anyways I like the fresh look on the blog, the sky blue color scheme looks great. XD
December 27, 2009 at 6:44 AM
Man, the face looks wierd. It’s a bit wide, that mask of his. And what a… protruding chin. Hahhah, still a great piece of art, juss the head. >.<
December 27, 2009 at 7:42 AM
blogs new look looks nice… is that really a HGUC? looks a bit MG to me…
December 27, 2009 at 1:08 PM
It is, look at the hand holding the rifle, you can see the split opening from the stress of holding it.
December 27, 2009 at 8:34 PM
lol even if i can mod a gunpla i doubt whether i have the patience… heehee…
December 27, 2009 at 10:24 PM
I’ve just heard Master Keita, aside of Master Katoki, but this version of Hi-Nu Gundam is great.
December 28, 2009 at 4:16 PM
No kidding. No one would build models under the alias of WonderExellence if he didn’t have the skills to back it up
December 30, 2009 at 3:36 AM
How the man can work with tiny 1/144 kits is uncanny. I thought it was the MG at first. Major props to that guy. I still think his Red Frame tops everything else, though.
And this kit won’t skew our expectations of the upcoming MG Red Frame – the PG version already did that…in my case -_-;
