Show me your Gunpla

LOL, i got it free from a friend that is unfortunate enough to have exams on that day. well, if you want to get a ticket, you should enter the Bankee in SM.North.

im just a lucky guy. :)



My project is nearing completion, at last. To be honest, i was not that sure if i could pull this off successfully.

by at least 2-3 days from now, it's finished.


@FreeOtakuGhost - well, it's kinda crappy if you ask me. the gold parts are painted using a Gold Gundam Marker, but it, kinda reacted badly to the paint underneath it.
so i did have no choice but to hide it using some pens, and marker inks.

I'm not liking the red parts there... Also, why not use gold acrylic instead?

I'm so thinking of buying a couple of new ones since I have a proper and secure place to display them at the new house (aka. maid proof), but damn MG is a tad bit expensive here, then RGs are especially expensive.

Any good ones to recommend for me to build bobs?

here you go

NOW START ORDERING

So leik.
Call of them, tell the order, they reserve it for you, then cash on delivery (that is the one with the meet-up thing right?). Sounds simple.

yah, and the price is the same in yen, no tax.

That is good.
Either than buying Gunplas from TK or etc., it's better than buying stuff (Figma) from Maxi's limited items and with tax stores.

You've been to a Maxi Collector store right?
Admittedly, I did buy two things from there.

Truth be told, I haven't. ._.

If you want, you can also try Greenhills if you don't wanna wait long.

Greenhills is my frikking back-yard, and third home.

Thanks to years in Xavier and Timezone and Datablitz.

About Maxi Collector: You should go to one though, they have damn nice inventory of American made figs and stuff, but the Japan inventory is tiny and abysmal.

The only things I ever found nice from there (and bought) was the Kotobukiya Marvel Black Cat and Max Factory Hatsune Miku VN02 mix.

Anyways, time for me to stop derailing.
Thanks from the link. :D

wait,markers?
i used markers too but in long period of time,the paint got deteriorate then it looks isn't as glorious as it used to be.
that's why i'm preparing some masking tapes so i can paint it properly using mr hobby spray can.

I just got my first working salary the other day (along with a membership to the guys who have their mothers strictly monitoring their expenses club) and just a few hours ago I bought a gundam exia and an overflag model to finally start my collection can't wait to go home and assemble them [size=10](looks hard tho..) [/h]

nah, but ill try to fix the red parts though, i don't like gold, because it tends to stand out too much, and i dont want it too look alike Gold Frame Amatsu.

Coldfire? it's true that he sells plamo's cheaply. but it takes too long to arrive. right? about a month or so.

and greenhills, GT and Wasabitoys always offers a 10% discount. but their stock is pretty repetitive if you ask me.

is anyone a member of this?

@FOGGY - i dont like masking, it's tedious, and seeing the sinanju's gold Trims.
Meh. i would say fuck this shit. lol, though, i would rather spray the Gold trims part as whole and handpaint the black itself.

yeah.it's because of the Neo Zeon Crest that makes it hard to paint it with Pray Can.i'll just try it first then see the result later.

here's my newest Gunpla: HGUC Banshee Clear Ver.



NEXT: don't know yet.

@Foggy - Oh my god, i hate you, GENTEI KITS AT IT's Finest.

Figured i would take a photoshoot today.
okay, project is finished, moving into a new one.

^ Nice work, It's pretty irritating to take pics outside because of the wind and stuff. Just a piece of friendly advice if you don't mind, I don't really like the way you did the red parts it looks a little messy, and you could work on your finishing a bit, anything else it looks fine in my eyes.

Also finished my works today so here they are. I hope you like them.

MG Turn A Gundam
Not much to tell about this guy, except that it’s a very amazing kit despite it’s not so much accepted design and simplicity in the building process.
It’s a very “efficient” model if you ask me. Though I had to scratch build a new joint for one of the skirts because it broke, I’m quite happy that it holds.
Paints used include Pylox Angel White, TOA Red, Bosny Dark Grey, TOA Dark Grey and Pylox Yellow, finished with Mr. Hobby Flat.
I’m still disappointed with my work about the rifle though.





XM-10C Flint Custom “Amethyst”
I don’t really make customs, but I just don’t want this kit to go to waste. It was a perfectly fine snap built Crossbone until it figured into an accident some years back along with other kits. I eventually bought a Full Cloth to replace it though.
Anyways, just made some mods to make it look like the XM-10 Flint from the Crossbone Gundam manga, but retaining a few things from the Crossbone to give the impression of a “high spec grunt”.
I rarely document my WIPS, so here are some of the salient points of the build:
1. Since the skull relief for the head crest went missing, I just used a bit of roof sealant and sanded it; I also cut the V-fin in half and glued one half on the left side of the head. Furthermore I glued shut the face plate and sanded it down to resemble the Flint’s. Also sanded down the “scars” of the original Crossbone head.
2. Used roof sealant on the long chest radiator/vent on the chest and sanded it down.
3. Covered up and sanded the area in the knees that required the dark navy blue parts.
4. The barrel for the original buster gun went missing too, so I had to scrounge up some parts to compensate, I glued together what was left of the original buster gun and used the “flint lock mechanism” to be able to attach the new parts to the zanber handle.
5. Added an extra weapon for the left arm from Kotobukiya, named the “Impact Edge”. I was kind of lazy to deal with the long seam on the main body, so I just scribed it in deeper to make it look like an embedded panel. Also got an extra part from the clear parts of the 30th Anniversary MG God Gundam, so that the weapon could accommodate a beam blade. It looks like the Banshee now, really ^_^
Paints used include Pylox Light Violet, Pylox Angel White, TOA Flat Black, TOA Yellow, TOA Silver, Mr. Hobby Clear Yellow and Bosny Dark Gray finished with Mr. Hobby Flat. The Silver parts are finished with Wipe and Shine.
I think it looks fairly decent, but I’m still a bit disappointed, the last minute the hand guard for the zanber had a small crack (I reckon it’s because I applied too much pressure on it from the many times I stripped/sanded it due to the failed paint jobs) and the legs are pretty loose now even though I didn’t even play with it much and it didn’t even come in contact with corrosive materials.
Of course C and C’s are welcome, and as per usual please pardon the sub-par pics XD

edit: just noticed the dirt on the left skirt, good thing I cleaned it off without a hitch

I'm really excited right now because at my local shop I found 2 more Ex-S'

A 7/11 gundamu? Dafuq!

anti-bug post

Yup, a 7/11 Gundam.

Sweet mother of crossbone...

Watched GUNDAM UC EP 4 and 5 in THE GLORIOUS BIG SCREEN.
