Bandai 1:1700 EX Argama

Completed in May, 2007

這艘亞加瑪號是來自電視動畫 Z Gundam 和它的續集 ZZ Gundam。這是片集中 A.U.E.G. 組織的旗艦,因此在故事中這艘戰艦運載所有主要角色和他們的機動戰士,計有馬沙和他的紅色力奇戴亞斯和百式,加美尤和他的 Gundam Mk II 和 Zeta Gundam,捷度與及他的 ZZ Gundam 等等。我相信另一艘來自 Model Graphix 中《聯邦先鋒戰》的戰艦 Pegasus III 也是屬於亞加瑪級戰艦,因為它與亞加瑪號的外形非常相似。 This space ship comes from the TV animation Z Gundam, and its sequel ZZ Gundam. It is the flagship of the organization A.U.E.G. in the story. Thus it carries all the main characters and their mobile suits, namely Char Aznable and his red Rick Dias, Hyaku Shiki, Kamille Bidan and his Gundam Mk-II, Zeta Gundam, Judau Ashta and his ZZ Gundam (Double Zeta Gundam), and so on. I believe the space ship Pegasus III, which comes from Model Graphix's Gundam Sentinel, also belongs to the Argama Class because it is very similar to Argama.
我在 2005 年四月買下這個模型,不久就開始與亞爾比昂號一起製作。但因為製作進度較快的亞爾比昂號在最後階段受到一點挫折,令到我失了動力去完成這艘亞加瑪號。這模型的售價是 3500 日元,相對來說是比較昂貴;然而大家要明白,萬代這個 EX 系列較昂貴是因為模型的鎖售對象是首辦模型玩家,所以比較小眾和少產量。 I bought this model in April 2005, about the time when I started building my Albion. Since Albion suffered some difficulty at the final stage, I lost the momentum to build these space ships from Bandai's EX series. Nevertheless this model is easier to build than Albion. The model was sold at 3500 yens, which is quite expensive for a small kit. However we all know the deal, namely the EX series features better details on less-popular mecha design. At least this is the reason we are given to justify the steeper price.
基本上這模型是依書直說去製作,換言之我沒有進行任何改裝。與萬代的 HG 或 MG 系列不同,這系列的模型沒有怎樣照顧上色的分件,整盒模型全是用白色塑料注製而成。今次上色我選擇放棄噴上暗影,只噴了一點高光。舊化方面用了琺瑯油及田宮最近推出的舊化工具去做暗影效果。 This is basically an out-of-box kit, I did not modify it in any way. Unlike Bandai's models from HG or MG series, this kit was manufactured without much thought on ease of painting. It is simply impossible to avoid hand-painting for a 1:1700 scale model anyway. This is why I did not even bother to spray shades on the model. Most of the weathering was hand-painted using paintbrushes and cotton swabs.
