[Comic] First Experience

Well, yeah, I'm kinda somewhat learning on doing weathering, as suggested by a commenter on my deviantArt page. Did some dry brushing with dark copper (coulnd't find metallic grey in a local Tamiya store).
Not sure if I'm satisfied with my first try. Kinda felt I overdid in some places and didn't put enough in other places. But oh well, it's a start :).
And I'm quite fond of portraying SCM EX RX-78-2 as the crazy guy that does silly stuffs XD.

Model kits used in this comic:

• Bandai's RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II AEUG color
• Bandai's HGUC 1/144 GM Striker
• Bandai's HGUC 1/144 GM Custom
• Banpresto's SCM EX RX-78-2

Japanese version after the jump.

[Gallery] Rooftop Test

Tried doing some photoshoots on the rooftop of my new lodging house. Dusty as heck and not as flexible as taking pictures on my own room, but I am very, truly, extremely satisfied with the results.



More pics after the jump.
Open the pics on a new tab for larger size.

System Weapon 003, Writing Interrupted

Well, my writing process was halted by the arrival of this:



Couldn't resist getting one since both the beam rifles and shields included here are pretty awesome looking. Not to mention I haven't built anything in the past two months, the temptation for building this is pretty tough ;^^.

Some pics after the jump.
Pics are taken using my cellphone camera, so sorry for the quality.

[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] Skeletal Horror

Umm, remember when I said that the next gunpla comics will be a traditional panel test?
Uh, ahahahahah, Nevermind!!


Model kits used in this comic:
- Bandai's RG 1/144 Gundam Mk-II Titans
- Bandai's RG 1/144 Gundam Mk-II AEUG (Inner Frame)
- Bandai's RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam
- Bandai's RG 1/144 Aile Strike Gundam

Well in any case, I thought this up when I'm thinking about horror movies in the bathroom. Weird, I know. The idea is that something that latches on to you, the either crushes you or blow a hole through your body. Of course the idea was modified to fit the mecha theme.

I also thought about another horror monster, one that sucks your arms and head into your butt, and... ...I'll stop right there... and probably email that idea to the Silent Hill creative team.

[Gallery] RG Gundam Mk-II Titans part 1

Well it has been a real long while since I actually built anything. The combination of busyness, lack of interest, and lack of money really made the couple months felt stagnant "orz.
And then the Mk-II finally got released.

Have I told you before that Gundam Mk-II is my most favorite gundam design?
Well, Gundam Mk-II is my most favorite gundam design, to the point of havingthe MG Mk-II Titans ver 2.0 HD Color as the one and only MG in my collection.

I planned that I would get both color variation, and built the AEUG color first with normal panel lines to know and memorize the build, and then build the Titans color with silver marker.
Now, if you're a Gunpla Builder, then I'm pretty sure you know that the AEUG color variation of RG Mk-II got delayed in release and the Titans color got released first. Well, plan botched. ugh
So anyway, I got the Titans version first (and still waiting for the AEUG color here), and boldly attempt to panel line it with silver anyway. If you saw the previous post, then you knew that it worked, though I think I can work it a bit better if I knew the build much better.

I've pretty much finished the whole kit, though before putting on the decals, I took a couple of pictures, alongside with some pose tests:

Mini Recent Stuff May 23rd 2012

Oh hey, haven't updated this blog in like, what? 2 months?
... sorry, really really sorry bout that "orz.

I will make more post soon about what happened recently.
Since there's quite a bit of them (ComiPo!, thesis, moving, etc), I might make multiple post.
Should be soon, unless I succumbed to stress "orz.

In a gunpla related news, I just finished RG Gundam Mk-II Titans.


Best RG I've ever built. More news later. See you!
