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...

Yes! My 2nd haul in the RD line. Again, another steal deal. This fig retails for about 2.5-3k+ but was able to grab it for only 1.3k! And to add icing on the cake, it's brand new! My funds are actually limited this month as I will be going for vacation but with that price it was too hard to pass up being an unplanned purchase. To make story short, I am one happy camper :D 360 view, box Unicorn Destroy Mode looks really wicked >:D Backpack looks awesome and cleanly detailed Run Forest  Unicorn, Run!! Showing off the articulation (WOW) What's inside the box: Boom! A pair of Gatling guns, bazooka, beam rifle, 2 beam sabers, 2 packs of ammo (rifle), bazooka ammo, shield, shield connectors, different sets of hands, and the disappointing extra v-fin Disappointing as my fig came with a bent v-fin. Most likely a case to case basis because of its rubber nature. Oh well... Unicorn Destroy with his full ...

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...
