TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Eins

TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Eins - WIP 02

Heads up for the readers: I've sold my devastated HG RX-78-2 30th Ed. BUT I pre-ordered my RG RX-78-2 and RG Char Zaku II (WOOOOT!!!). I hope the 2-3 week waiting could amp my GunPla blood which is on a frenzy lately. I just can't find the kick to put my usual effort into my works :(

I remember my Hi-Nu Gundoom which I put a lot of heart into. Then there's the Exia Ignition Mode which I spent generous amount of my time painting and detailing the dude (which is, by the way, also sold..... WTF was I thinking.... more on this next time T_T)

To put it simply, I can't find the time into GunPla anymore :(
Not that I will leave GunPla, it's just not one of my top priorities right now. I've decided to halt my MG plans for a while and focus on the cheaper but cool 1/144 kits which require less effort than the Master Grades.

I just know deep inside me when I find the passion (and money) to purchase at least one of my MG wishlist - Sinanju, Unicorn, EW's, and Epyon - would bring back my hunger and thirst for more GunPla challenge.

Rambling aside, here's the surprisingly awesome kit WIP part II: Throne Eins

Gun assembly was a breeze and didn't find any issue here

Notice I've painted a couple of parts here. The lower part was spray painted gray and those white touch ups were hand brushed

Arms were also great and no assembly cures are required

Putting all the finished parts

Aaaaaand..... That's about it for now :p

Yeah, I've spent a mere 30 mins for this day to finish those. Assembling this kit is a treat since I only had one assembly cure so far. The rest was a breeze and it snaps and fits pretty nicely. I wish I was a bit faster though, but anyways, at least I am making progress.

QY SD Shining Gundam - Mini WIP, Assembly Cure and Review

It has been a while since the last time I blogged. Reality bites and I have to focus on the "more important things in life." Work, girlfriend, and of course going outdoors - a much needed "distraction" to regain my appetite for GunPla. In all honesty my interest has gone downhill and the promised TT Hongli MG Sinanju is nothing more of a plan than a work-to-be-done. There will always be the GunPla itch so I picked this teeneeweenee SD that caught my eye. Welcome to the club, Shining Gundam!! To start off, the box. Runners - 5 in total along with the polycaps Issue 01: See the yellow fin attached to the head? Don't force to plug it in. You'll only damage the plastic. Shave off the little opening to fully accommodate the fin. Repeat it on the other side. Issue 02: The usual suspect in QY kits. What I did was shave the male connectors with my hobby knife. Head done! Notice I used the foil stickers. It's not that I was too lazy to paint the eyes, b...

Bandai SD Zeta Karaba Assault - WIP 01

Coming from a competition really fired my GN Drives up! I am now onto my 1st WIP of 2012, SD Zeta! This 2-pack kit was actually bought before I even knew about the GFP competition. But G-SHOT and the 1/144 Challenge came along and the fun and excitement was too hard to pass up! I initially thought of doing Zeta in its accurate colors. Watching Gundam AGE really blew me and I fell in love with white MS's particularly seeing how the G-EXES pawns the UE. Right then and there I decided to try something different, something that I've never tried before (well, sort of). BTW, if you've never encountered the Zeta Karaba Assault it sorta looks like this ~ It is a limited edition color scheme of the MG Zeta V2. The Karaba Assault was piloted by the White Unicorn AKA Amuro Ray. (Photo above is NOT mine. Thank you GundamPH for the reference. Visit his site too. There are a lot of GunPla, mech, and other anime-related cool stuff there to see) Upon straight building this dude, I ...

Bandai RG RX-78-2 Gundam - WIP 01 *and More (Troll Face)

November has been GunPla month for me. Everything is going smooth and I have been progressing faster than expected lately. It's funny because I'm a little busy-er compared to when I was WIPing my Exia Ignition Mode, but anyway here's what I've done so far: Notice that the feet has 3 points of articulation. MG-ish and this is expected since the Zaku II Char is the same Legs gimmick - sliding armor is a win for me :) Color separation of the 'V' in the skirt is awesome. I remember painting that teenee-weenee part on the Ver30thG Body and booster's color separation (ahh yes the different shades) is an eye opener. This is why I fell in love with the RG line <3 The RG Zaku II Char took me more than 2 months to complete the kit and about 2 weeks to slap in the waterslide decals. Here, it has only been 4 days and I'm almost done with the kit's assembly. Ahhh, can't wait to photo Amuro and Char together (no homo!). I guess the excitement e...
