Bandai HG 00 Raiser Condenser Type

Bandai HG 00 Raiser Condenser Type - WIP 03

3rd post and December is almost over. Other priorities, work, and a whole bunch of stuff just kept on getting in the way of at least pursuing the hobby ever since I was a child. Quitting the hobby inevitably looms on my mind BUT by simply looking at the "incomplete" collection sparks a light to give my GunPla blood a little rush. It's a bit depressing, really, to have the mere thought of leaving.

With that out of my chest and my future as a collector and a modeler is in jeopardy, grasping whatever what's left on my back log and taking responsibility to the GFP 1/144 HG challenge, I present -- 00 Raiser Ver. CH! This is a WIP follow up from my straight build entry at G-SHOT. Obviously I used the same kit. :p

The ever so reliable Bosny Spray Cans! Flourescent Flat White as white FTW!

Chest complete - looking sharp!

I've decided to try something different with the eyes instead of the usual GREEN or RED, I chose bronze

Legs are looking good too thanks to the Flourescent Flat White

Arms done

Skirt

Putting the arms and body together

Progress has been good this past week. I was able to complete the whole 00 Gundam and already started the wing binders and the GN Drives (for this, I will use the drives instead of the condensers). I forgot to take photos of the head but I am loving how it turned out! Fingers-crossed as I hope I can finish it all this week.

PS.

I must be pressuring myself comparing my progress from when I was just getting rebooted in the hobby. I was locked on painting, purchasing whatever, and building non-stop. I think I should just take my time and move at my own pace with all this. Upon writing this blog entry, I just realized that. What's clear though is that I'll be building it straight (no paint method) from here on out (as soon as I finish the paint projects - 2 SD kits and this). Cheers and happy holidays!

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...
