Bandai RG Aile Strike

Bandai RG Aile Strike - WIP 02

A great month of GunPla for September! A few hiccups with the progress because of bad weather (had frosting while top coating *bummer*) but hey, I am doing quite well and faster than my previous makes haha!

Just a quick overview on what's done:

Redid the body because of the awful frosting issue. Still has slight frosting but meh...

Back reminds me of AGE 1's (just without the spoiler)

Looking sexy now

Fucked up the hand connector on the rifle. Hope it could still hold for the photoshoot :(

Doesn't this remind you of the Evangelion shield too? BTW, didn't bother getting the waterslide decals. With my current laziness doing so would further slow my "fast" progress. LOL. Besides, the clear stickers are acceptable.

Loving the shiny effect of the foil stickers

Unit / weapons DONE!

Done applying the stickers for the unit and shield too AND already started with the Aile Striker pack (whoo on a roll!). Wow, this must be the best looking first gen lead Gundam to date IMO. Hope I can get my hands on a flat coat now. Weather looks fine outside it's a shame I can't continue. Really enjoying the RG Aile Strike build. Despite being unfinished, I highly recommend this kit. Just look at how awesome this guy looks even without the sticker details!

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...
