THE CRIMSON COMET

Finally! I mean FINALLY! My Char Zaku got its attention thanks to the long weekend :D My room was a mess; decals, decal paper, parts, plastic, and a ton of q-tips were lying around. That got me pumped up into finishing the kit. Without further adieu, I present - CHAR!~ Starting off, the complete perks of the kit A 360 view of Char's Zaku I just noticed that the insignia on his back pack flew off T_T Damn I suck at applying decals. Never! EVER! Apply decals on a surface with a flat coat. Always apply it on a smooth / gloss surface. Notice in a few photos that some decals tore off too during photo shoot. LESSON LEARNED. To show off the RG's articulation Kneeling poses are flawless (almost, more on that later) Ratatatatataatatataaaaaat!!!! RIDER CHAR KIIIIIIICK!!!!! Amuro tasted a few of this CHAR TAKERU!!! Heat Hawk GET! Onto my favorite weapon - CHAR BAZOOKA! (?) Taruget Rokudo Faaaiyaaah!! Char Rampage Char: Who's your daddy now huh AMURO!?! ...

Good news on the RG Char Zaku kit, arms are complete along with the skirt, head, and weapons. All that's left are the body and legs. Left leg is 97% complete, 3 miniscule decals are to be placed probably tomorrow. Hmm... I'm guessing it would take until next week the way I progress. :( Getting "stressed" with applying waterslide decals on my Char Zaku, I was able to finish this guy. Quite happy how it turned out. Masking was hell as usual but fun anyways. It's been a while since I've painted a kit. Renewing my painting vigor with an SD kit is a sure fire. Assembling SD's are a breeze and a stress reliever from all the sweat, tears, and blood my hands go through the RG. Never thought I'd spend a lot of time (more than an MG, mind you) with it. Again, lifestyle, work, and NBA 2k12 (lol) gets in the way of GunPla. Hopefully I'd find time to sit down and focus on Char Zaku so I can finally proceed with the RX. Tee-hee Not used to taking shots with a...

No, I'm not dead. It's just that applying waterslide decals on the RG are painstakingly hard as hell. So to keep you guys posted on my works, here are some shots to fiddle around: Bought a Tamiya Mark Fit to improve my waterslide decals adhesion and application I was able to grab this guy on sale for a mere 130 bucks! Courtesy of my friend Hobby Dumpy. Be sure to visit her blog as well. She's got some cool die casts collection, might as well check it out. ....And some crappy pics I took playing around with my bro's Canon EOS 60D. ISO setting was too high - hence, the noisy photos :( Amuro! I'm done applying decals on the head, armaments, and skirt. WIP-ing arms. Hopefully I can finish all this weekend. And yeah, the RX-93's progress is about 75%. If I get bored stressed with applying decals, the blob head will get his share of attention :)

Finally quenching my GunPla thirst, my RG's have arrived! Ooooohhhwww yeah! Oh, and an E.F.S.F. Action Base to boot! I was able to snag one at a relatively cheap price for a mere 330 bucks (can usually be found at 550 to seven fucking hundred fifty bucks). Too bad the Zeon Action Base ran out of stock :( Here's a sneak peek of my latest hauls E.F.S.F. Action Base RG RX-78-2 Gundam RG Char Zaku II Ayt. Let's get down to business! I guess I was waiting for something like this to come along. The RG's were able to spark my GunPla plugs and I am on fire!!! I already started on Char Zaku II and damn these kits are hard but fun! PS. Thanks to the ColdFire crew for the RG kits and Joami for the E.F.S.F. Action Base!
