MG 1/100 Shin Musha Gundam Sengoku no Jin (with Display Base)

The moment I got this kit, i was so excited to build it. I did a lot of googling on how this would look like during and after building. Hmmm, just to get it right. No mistakes ^_^. And the moment I start building and cutting away from the tree, i forgot to start to document and take photographs. hehe. anyway, as you can see I started the gallery with the body and arms already built.

Im not sure If you would notice. I disassembled the head 2 times. why? the sticker where the headcamera (just on top of the v-fin), keeps on shifting the moment i put the head all together. and after 3 tries, it still wont stay in place. in the end I just gave up and will paint this instead. >_<

and I love the this kit’s inner leg frame. its so awesome. I do hope i you can notice it. I did a couple of macro shots for you to see. Its basically built from the tree, all you need to do is to cut it off and basically move some parts around.

Now for the waist/skirt area. like all master grades. this is the last to be constructed (based from the manual). and I must say, this must be the most cool front skirts i have ever seen. It has that shrimp like joints (i just wish they did the same on the back skirts). But hey, its still awesome.

I was trying to cut some pieces, and i cut my self bad. well not THAT bad, but it was bad enough for me to curse this kit for a couple of seconds. But after taking a look at it again. My anger went away and felt peace once again ^_^.

I still need to add some paint on the boosters to make it more metallic. It very plastic looking from behind.

time to work on the weapons and display base.

just after constructing it, i displayed it right where our new LCD TV. And it looked good. ^_^. Next I will try to add some panel lines and paint some minor details on the pumps, hydraulics and boosters. to make it more awesome than it already is.

Real and True to Life Superman

This guy is a TRUE HERO. Really, i totally respect his courage and unselfishness to help others in need. If any of you know the true identity if this person, he’s bravery should be acknowledged.

original post from: http://www.dump.com

After watching this clip over and over again. I think some may call him stupid, some may call him brave, either way. He’s a the real “F”-ing superman (Heart Man of steel).

Mortal Kombat Reboot Trailer

At last! a decent movie for the mortal kombat franchise. I was not a fan of the old 1995 version of this movie. Its basically tried to focus more on the game rather than the story of making the characters realistic. Plus it doesn’t seem to be a cheap b-rated movie (i think).

And 1 more thing that got me excited about this is, scorpion seems to be the lead character. which is awesome, since me and my brother usually choose either scorpion, subzero or reptile when playing it on our beat up SNES ^_^

HG 1/144 Gundam Throne Trinity (Eins, Zwei and Drei)

This is my 1st 1/144 scale gundams. I normally prefer 1/100 NG (no grades) over the 1/144 HG (high grades). I seems to me that Bandai have no plans of making a bigger scale for these 3 amazing kits.

They as basically very easy to build. especially if you build them all at the same day. Except for the head, color scheme and weapons, these three basically have the same mold. Even so, they are still fun to build.

Since my Eins is a resin kit. i experienced some problems with it. loose joints and pegs that dont fit. Fortunately its something that a little super glue can fix. I may consider getting a bandai one for this model.

As for Zwei. Even though its a bandai brand, I still have some small complains for this kit. Whenever you want to make a pose of him holding his sword, you have to disassemble his hand 1st, so that you can have him pose like that i did below.

As for the drei. i dont have complain (so far). i like the color scheme, like its cool poses and i like how its head look alot like from that alien movie. But im pretty sure this would even look better if i painted some details into it. Hopefully on my next post, (if i find the time to work on them).

Now i guess your asking why would i buy a resin kit of eins, when i have the other 2 (zwei and drei) from bandai. Its simple reason actually, I couldn’t find any Eins, on my local stores. Plus, I guess i also want to try experiencing on how to make HG 1/144 TT Hongli brands. And for the record, the bandai ones are far far superior especially on how accurately one mold fits into the other. For the TTHongli brand, 50% of the time, I have to either add super glue to thicken a part or shave of some parts with my hobby knife to make a part fit to one another.

MG Strike Freedom ZGMF-X20A (head, legs and arms)

I started working on the head. i just made it as is, i haven’t done any filing and painting yet. Actually for the head, i’ll just add panel lines and a touch or ‘top coat’ only. it looks good as it is anyway.

next will be the arms and hands. i noticed how big the hands are compared to the strike gundam. but i dont mind. its suppose to be a giant robot anyway. more gripping action (i guess).

After combining the head, arms and body together. i really like how the gold paint came out. looks good when its properly lighten. The only fall back is how stiff the joint become. But hey, im not complaining. Its just a ‘warning’ for those who want to make the inner frame of this kit look more gold.

as for the legs. i started working on them, but i noticed how late it was, and my wife’s making that ‘face’ again. you know, that face. anyway, took some photos before i went to bed.

as i woke up the next day, i started adding the armors and feet.

up next would be the weapons and accessories

i haven’t done any significant panel lining yet (just did some parts on the head and inner frame). will try to continue that some other day. Plus i’ll also add the decals next. (right after i panel lined it).

MG Strike Freedom ZGMF-X20A (body)

Today I started with the body part. and just like those other gunpla-ers (if there is such a word) who tired making the MG freedom strike’s inner frame look shiny gold, all the joints became “super” (and i mean super) stiff. i literally had to disassemble the model just to scrape off some plastic parts within the pegs and its connector. so far, so good. i guess when i reach the “legs and arms” part, i’ll do the same scraping method before i plug them in.

Anyway, here are some photos i took after constructing the body part.

MG Strike Freedom ZGMF-X20A (custom paint)

I just started painting the parts for my strike freedom today. It took about a month trying to find the “best” gold color i can use to convert and make this dull and yellowish non-shiny more eye candy. I tried not to put on too much paint cause based from other reviews I’ve read who tried painting this model kit, got a very stiff joints (which then made the model significantly hard to move). Anyway, i’ll try to post more photos if my fate will be the same as the others ^_^

SD Gundam Red Frame Astray Review

I’m usually picky when it comes to gundam, especially the SD ones. and so you know, this kit is my 2nd SD gundam (to date). and was happy i managed to get me one of these SD astrays. i loved the MG red frame so much, i wanted to buy the SD version of it (and also PG, if i saved enough before christmas or my birthday, or which ever comes 1st this year). and i am glad to say i didn’t regret it at all. i mean i dont mind buying a 2nd and 3rd one (and then customize and convert it to both gold and green frame respectively ^_^).

my thoughts… despite its size, i like how much detail they put into it. i guess bandai is really stepping it up. as for my next target SD (if i find any on our local stores), is the unicorn. anyway, here are some pictures i tried to take. nothing special. just something for you to look at.
