THE CRIMSON COMET

Commish work has been in a very slow progress. I don't mind. Just getting stuff right one at a time and in my most comfortable hours. Happy how the MS unit is complete. Proceeding with the wings always leaves a bad taste in my mouth and an eyesore. Well, more on that later.... Yes! It looks so mean! In a good way of course :p The level of detail really kicked up when I drew the panel lines. This reminds me of the RX-78-2 OYW ver where those PL's are excessive but neatly done Look at the panel lines - damn excessive, but fun to detail nonetheless :) Picked up a technique on detailing lines on colored pieces. White lines contrasted the blue parts very nicely. And here's what's been bothering me and left my masking (or effort) questionable. The shield was pre-done on my WIP 01 but clusterfucked my panel lining. What I did was run to my local hobby shop and get some paint stripper (Mr. Hobby Lacquer Thinner - P110). Did a decent job where it str...

Progressing quite nicely this holy holiday week. Painted a bunch of parts. All that's left are the left leg, boosters, and repainting the head and shield. The saber hilts on its shoulders are originally mono-colored blue. Easily masked this one to give an emphasis to the hilt. This is after completing Zero's left arm. Quite a change their from the original (right arm). Happy with the results :) Looking at Zero's original base color, it is more of a "dirty" white than the paint I used which screams brightly. Progressing down the skirts and onto the right leg Again, a bit of comparison to Zero's original colors (right leg) to the painted parts. Blue, red, and white are obviously brighter which makes it feel more of anime accurate for me. I also replaced the gold parts to yellow not because I want to be as close to the anime - but I ran out of gold paints. Summing things up and with the way things are going, I think ETF (estimated time to finish) w...

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 a...
