Thoughts on recent plamos

Speaking of plamos, after the All Japan Model & Hobby Show 2012, lot's of new plamos shows up there. I have to say, the ones that shows up were incredibly enticing. Even so, due to my limited budget, I'm limiting my "must get list" to just 3. Here they are by order of priorities:

[Updated] OH MY GOD, Kotobukiya plamos!!

THIS. I HAVE TO GET. (if it doesn't have many issues, of course ;^^)

UPDATED:

[Sidestory] Slow progress... And some incoming stuffs I go crazy for

A small progress with time from breaks during my last weeks of works for a while, flavored with guilt.



In other news, some kits that piqued my interest:

[Comic] Calligraphy part 2

The second gunpla x Comipo! test.
*As the date suggested, I made this earlier this week, but haven't managed to post it here until now*


And as previously mentioned, here's my thought about the prospect of combining gunpla comics with Comipo!:

[Comic] Calligraphy part 1

My first try on combining my usual gunpla comics with Comipo!.


I'll tell my impression about using Comipo! for gunpla comics on the next part.

Also, cookies/cake/winrar is you for the first person that figures out the reference joke on the last panel.

[Sidestory] Waterslide decal hell

It has been almost two months since I finished the Shiranui Niigata... sans the jump unit and the water slide decals for it. Somehow I finished the jump unit a couple days ago, then went almost immediately to placing the decals, finishing the whole kit at last. After taking a quick look at the manual, I think that while it'll be kinda difficult to pinpoint the exact location on where to pit the decals (kinda like the 1/100 VF-25), but probably not gonna took very long.

And I'm wrong, again.
Huh, surprising.

[Sidestory] Recent Stuff December 11th 2011

There's really nothing new since I'm pretty much in a slump (in various ways) "orz.

But anyway, here's some interesting/random stuff.


Click for larger picture.
It's kinda funny that me and my two housemates each completes a Kotobukiya kit at roughly the same time, and each with it's own unique building approach.
The Gaea from Armored Core Nexus (left) is done by my new housemate that has just moved in recently. It's mostly a straight build, but he added silvers and using the zippo lighter liquid technique to wipe any excess.
The Hogire from Armored Core IV (right) is done by my housemate that have been around for a while and also one of the creators of Figumo Warfare. It's also a straight build, but he added some panel lines and then added a lot of gold using gold gundam markers.
The Shiranui Niigata from Muv Luv Alternative Total Eclipse (center) is done by me, using the usual "sand 'em all" technique and putting silver behind every clear part. I also added some silver and grey to add details.

[Comic] Cutting Edges

Sorry for being late :p.
There'll will be another couple of comic before the epic comic starts, just so that I can introduce some other characters that'll also appear there.

[Comic] Not-Gaijin 4Koma

I'm pretty sure some of you already saw this coming hahaha.



Figmas and Nendoroid are my "ex-roommate now housemate"'s properties.

Triple jointed shoulder!?

Did Kotobukiya took a level in awesomeness!?

Progress so far on Takemikazuchi...

After 7 days (though I took 2 days off building)...




I liked the details this thing has, but it took quite the effort to make them stand out ;^^.
Basically I put silver behind every clear parts, and some other parts that were supposed to have red but isn't is first colored with silver and then some red after it dried.

Probably gonna take another 3-5 days until it's really complete.

[4Koma] The Red Hustler part 2

A continuation from the previous 4koma.



I'm still confused what to write a moving mecha SFX should be like ;^^

note:
Albero = Gespenst Mk-II Custom Albero Use
Seventh = Full Armor Gundam 7th

Interesting stuff from 50th All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show

50th All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show has been a pretty interesting show (I pretty much always says this whenever a show exhibited many new upcoming kits ;^^).

After reading from Gundam Guy and Gundam Model Kits and Figures, here are the kits that had me interested or a definite buy!!

[4Koma] The Red Hustler *Edited*

EDIT: changed some minor typo, text placement, and sfx.

text on my 4koma? Egads!!



When I think of what kind of SFX would it be from the Armored Core's verniers, "vreeeeen" (or ブイイ～～ン if you like :p) was the only thing that came to my mind ;^^

the original ver

Kotobukiya Takemikazuchi Type-00R

Sooo yeah, I'm actually a fans of Muv-Luv (maybe not really since I haven't played Alternative, but I know the story :p ). I wasn't much of an eroge person, except when mecha is involved in it *coughbaldrseriescough*, and Muv-Luv doesn't only have mecha, it also have JAM Project!! XD
