Hua Run SD Destiny Gundam

Hua Run SD Destiny Gundam - WIP 01

Gone for more than a month. Rainy season has come and boredom quickly turned my GunPla hands on fire. Haven't bothered touching my Pla stuff as I am quite the "busy" person. (Yep - my trusty gamepad is gone and didn't had the urge to watch movies either.). Rant aside, my GFP trophy finally got it's overdue attention:

I present Hua Run's SD Destiny - another bootleg player <but phased out(?)> along with QY tackling your SD needs :)

My first encounter with the brand. Skepticism sank in, trusting QY's quality in detail I think is hard to top. Looking at the runner's I see awfully thin plastic. Details look good though

*Tip - When snap fitting, cut the male connectors diagonally (as seen below) for easy disassembling the pieces. Snap fitting helps you plan your painting, seam removal, mod, etc..

Head looks good but has spaces under the side of its eyes. Not sure if I'll bother putting putty to make it look full. It doesn't look that bad though.

Shot - space more pronounced below

Breezing through the manual, I haven't found anything to fix. Remedies are solely for excess plastic on the corners of parts and nub removal which is pretty basic. Starting to love Hua Run :)

Backpack looks sweet with its armaments. (Free stand)

Destiny FINGER. Move out of the way Domon XD

Unit COMPLETE

I thought I'd be a bit rusty coming out from a long hiatus. Had fun building this kit and it was a breeze! Had no problems with the assembly so no 'Step by step' for this guy. :)

PS.

Sorry if I had been gone for more than a month. I sincerely cannot get myself to spend hours on GunPla anymore but I can assure you that whatever's left in the closet will be done SOON. (Oh please no more backlogs by 2013 hahaha!)

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 - 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...
