It's that time of the year when Pinoy GunPlars unite. GFP's 1/144 Year End challenge. Yes. Hell yeah. I'm in. My previous year's entry 00 Raiser (Liminality) was a bit on the safe side focusing on execution. A pretty straight forward approach in which paid off *cough* did get 5th (mom was proud BTW). 2012 was a good run gunning my aggressive side in trying out a lot of new stuff. I sure did improve on creativity and paint jobs were smoother. My SD Zeta Karaba project was a long shot but eventually turned out AWESOME. Learned patience too! (if that's a skill).
Strayed away from the comfort zone and pushed my luck dry brushing. What I've learned here is that you just can't dab and paint away. You need planning to make the effect look real and not some random tear on the MS. Still noobish but satisfied on how it turned out.

Maximality-x-Liminality
On a funk lately scrapping time off GunPla making way for priorities (work - as if I have a choice). The challenge cranked up my juices to end the year with something new and exciting!
I present - 00 7 Sword/G MAXIMALITY (Lamborghini theme)

Pros:
EXTREME articulation
I'm a sucker for swords so... ( ಥ益ಥ ) nyahihi
Solid
Design (subjective)
Cons:
Wrists came loose pretty fast
00 variants are really fun to work with. It's simplicity allows it to be one agile/very poseable mutha$*&!# yet it contrasts how well it was designed to have that daunting look to be such a badass Gundam.
Completing the year for my GunPla run was awesome. Ending 2012 with a BANG! thanks to GFP for offering such a friendly yet fiery competition among my brethren to exhibit my skills was an honor.
I can see what lies beyond from now that I need to cut back on GunPla or to be more precise, any hobby related stuff. I'm not going to shun out of it completely but I dare say 2 kits/figs would be tops for 2013. I am holding my wallet for this baby:
I still have an incoming Robot Damashii surprise though so watch out for that :D
Cheers and have a pleasant holiday season!
