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

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!

TT Hongli MG 1/100 Exia Ignition Mode - Review

Assembling bootleg kits can be a pain at times but this MG Exia Ignition Mode was a breeze. I was surprised from the fact that 90% went well and the other 10% were minor fixes - from shaving male connectors to gluing parts. I really enjoyed assembling my first Master Grade (I was hoping it was Bandai, my wallet was not cooperating as expected lol). Action! G...Gu...Gundaaaaaam!!!!!!!!!!! GUUUUNDAAAAMU!!! Ore wa........... Ore Wa Gundam-da!! Exia exterminating target............... Graham: Ike, Setsuna! Live and unlock the future! More swords Setsuna? Target exterminated! Joining the bunch :D Pros: Assembling is pretty easy for a bootleg Build is sturdy It came with LEDs! Cons: Joints are too stiff (for my liking, anyways, it made the kit solid though) Swords at his wait does not fit the peg in the hand Exia Repair parts does need half of the non-Repair head. (didn't bother with the transformation) The Exia Ignition Mode is a must have! I'm really g...

SH Figuarts Rockman Zero - Review

Human and reploidkind's last hope: His name is ZERO....? Slide! Z-Saber GET Love the translucent piece L'Oréal ambassador Ryuenjin!!! ...is always followed by Hyouretsuzan If you're a Maverick and hears: Hoooooooo- Haaaaaaa- Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Zero's fundamental 3-combo SLASH Triple Rod Looks sick! Shield Boomerang Super hero lan.... Ugh.... Buster Shot Pew pew pew Who am I...? Pros: Weapons Sculpt is spot on Cons: Articulation plenty but a bit restrictive compared to newer releases by SHF Rockman Zero builds on a new era from the X series. It brings BACK the fun of what the blue bomber and red slasher should be - the best side scrolling game in which the X7 and X8 failed to deliver. Rockman Zero was the sav...

RIP Crimson Comet

Photobucket has kidnapped my photos and I'm too lazy to re-upload and update every bit. It's been worthwhile. I'm intending to start a new blog that is more "personal" than just focus on one part of my hobby. Looking at my older posts, I can fairly say I've improved on my toy photography (and English!) in which I am thankful for this space as a medium to share my work. Thank you for reading up to this part! Cheers for 7 years!
