WIP II - NG 1/100 Gundam Exia

Although it is not yet finished (completion is around 75% as of this writing), I took a few snaps of my Exia to see how Tamiya metallic acrylics would look like once photographed.

The outcome...




From the back, the Exia looks bulkier. Hmmmm....

One particular shot was kinda underexposed so I decided to play with it a bit...


So many things left to do for this particular kit -- prime and paint the weapons, re-paint the green thingies (GN drives, etc) with acrylics, put water-slide decals, and hopefully mod the hip joints as they are virtually worthless.

WIP - SD Justice Gundam

BB # 268 Justice Gundam


My fiancee's second (she now owns my SD Strike Gundam) Gundam kit -- BB #268, Justice Gundam.

She personally hand-picked the Justice from a local toy store's display racks. So I guess she got first say on the "quite" custom colors too! ;D

Primed, AB'd, panel-lined, and top-coated. Completion-wise, it is around 60% complete... I haven't done the backpack yet... nor completed the detailing on the gun. Anyway, I still suck at gunpla modeling! LOL!

These SD kits, with all their cuteness and charm, are really taking away my time from building my MG backlogs... to think that I've got another one (or two, hopefully) coming at the end of the month!!!

By the way, pardon the photo quality. I had to make do with my back-up cam -- a Sony Ericsson P990i -- as two sets of my S2IS' batteries recently gave up on me all of a sudden... which reminds me, I've got to get a charger that can re-freshen up dead batts... and a set of Eneloops. ;D

WIP - SD Strike Rouge

I'm in the mood for posting, yes? Two entries in a day!!!

Anyway, here's another WIP. Remember when I wrote that my (actually, it's now my fiancee's) SD Strike Gundam would soon be a "SHE"?

Well... here "SHE" is!!!



I'll be posting pics of the arms and legs soon. =D

WIP - 1/100 NG Gundam Exia

Here's the deal: I got back into building my Gundam Exia. I still like the all-white color-way as a by-product of my priming the kit with Tamiya's white Surface Primer, however, a metallic Exia kept nagging at the back of my head. Biting the bullet, I went ahead and decided to do it. Here are the results...




Sticking loosely to the original color-way, I used metallic paints instead of the usual pastel-like hues. I still haven't AB'd the internal frame of the arms yet, as you can see in the first pic. I'm gonna paint it (the frame) in the same color as the internal frame for the legs (second pic).

Sigh... so many things yet to be done: painting the head, shaving the V-fins and shoulder fins, priming and painting its weapons... still a very long way to go! LOL! =D
