Bandai HG Wing Zero TV - WIP 01

I have been enslaved by my laziness to complete my SD Nu. The poor thing has been in the closet for months. Good thing, a friend asked me to paint his old  HG 1/100 Wing Zero. Ah, I have been a fan of the unit ever since. Itching from my Robot Damashii Wing Zero (please do take note that this is the TV version and not the OVA Katoki) which is 2 months away from now, I have accepted his favor and surely it brought my GunPla fires back up! And to totally pave way into buying paints that my Nu Gundam desperately needs (black). So I rushed to the market to buy some paints but damn, I forgot the black but has purchased every paint the WZ needs. So the SD Nu will again, wait for another day (hopefully not months, heck, NOT a year!). Without further adieu, Wing Zero PAINT IKIMASU!!

Started off with the shield which for me looks like it is the most PITA piece to paint


Painted the clear piece TAMIYA clear green to add a bit more depth to its greenyness lol


My favorite piece to paint as usual, coloring the eyes (used metallic green for eyes and forehead cam; enamel black for the eye outline)


Well, not a WIP but here's some to indulge yourself on what it was before painting






I was not able to take photos of the shield but it's now red. Masking wasn't as smooth but still cleanly put. Head is also in the works and is on the pan. Hopefully I can do more progress tomorrow. Currently scraping off the nub marks and cleaning the left arm. Stay tuned for more WIP of this classical model :)

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...

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!

Bandai RG RX-78-2 Gundam - Review

The much anticipated (and delayed) review of my RG RX-78-2! I broke the chest piece when I was applying some finishing touches on the kit. Crap it was a nightmare! When the piece snapped into two I couldn't hold back and yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! That serves another lesson for me. Never EVER force yourself into working with half-assed consciousness. Weeks came by and I was able to get in touch with someone who has a spare RG RX-78-2 kit. Viola, my kit is RESTORED! Onto the review, here's the RX-78-2 in its Real Grade Excitement Embodied glory Ah, the Real Grade. Stressing color separation. The attention given to the details of RG kits is just plain awesome! The different shades of white, red, and blue is fantastic. Showing off some articulation here, kneeling poses are a bit better than the RG Char Zaku. Goes to show that top notch engineering with a mini-skirt design Gundam works! That's Amuro by the way :p Will paint...
